The eventual output is determined by the target's armor. Taskmasters do not increase the concussion damage bonus from kits such as, their bonus does however get doubled by the Thuggery Perk.

Explanatory Addendum
For instance, if it would require to turn a thrall within 25 hours, then a 50% crafting speed increase would cut that time down from 25h to 16h 40mins. The formula is essentially time needed divided by 1+% increase depending on the Thrall in question. For a Purge T4 Taskmaster this equals reducing the time needed through 4 instead of 1, so the Thrall from our example would take 6h 15mins. A regular T4 Taskmaster would instead require 8h and 20mins. This also means that the raw time needed decreases further between a Purge T4 and a regular T4 than it would for a T4 compared to a T3.
