Oh you want an argument do you? Okay.

Reaper Prime: 1.08 Attacks per Second.

Hate: 0.917 Attacks per Second.

Reaper Prime has 17.7% higher attack speed, combine that with the fact it does 7.2% more damage and it effectively does 26.3% more damage per second. So, since the critical multiplier gap is 2.0x and 2.5x, or a 25% boost to critical damage, the crit rate would need to be 105% in order for the Hate to begin to overshadow the Reaper Prime.

In other words, you need to be rolling out red crits. At 20% crit rate base, both need to have a 400% crit rate boost in order to do red crits. Which would require a 2.5x multiplier with Blood Rush equipped. That translates to 45-135 consecutive hits with the Hate just to match the damage per second of the Reaper Prime, and its damage output becomes less the moment that Melee Combo Counter resets. With True Steel too, Hate becomes as effective at 15-45 consecutive hits.

So *in my opinion*, Reaper Prime.
