Thats why most gold find guide's choose it as the weapon and not reaper's.


As Synonym posted, with 33% of 4.5 strikes per second, DS would trigger more than once every second (1.5 times to be precise), with decrepify on.. which makes the damage higher than BotD..

if you run full games, reaper's is definitely better than ebotd

You dont know shit ashwin and your just talking out of your ass you dont need to repeat what someone just said u dumb fag lol. In full or solo game's ebotd is better for no popped body's and better damage over time in trav's. this is why practically all GF guide's choose it and not reapers as the weapon.

Lets set this straight:

Eth BotD Giant Thresher: 40 to 114 (77 Avg). +Eth mode = 60-171 (115 Avg). +4.15*[60 to 171] (from a perf 15%ED base +400%ED BotD) = 309-880 (594 Avg.)
-No %DS
-No Decrep or any other proccing / damage enhancing mods.

Calculation per 100 hits= 594*100 = 59,400 / 100 = 594. Nothing changed.

Eth reaper's: Thresher 12-141 (76 Avg). +Eth mode= 18-211 (114 Avg). +2.4*[18-211] (from a perf 240%ED reaper's) = 61-717 (398 Avg.)
- 33% DS. In case of %DS damage will be doubled. [61 to 717]*2 = 122-1434 (778 NewAvgDam)
- 33% Decrep. Decrepify = -50% DR. That would increase damage multipled by 1.5, no matter what the %DR of the monster is. (-50%, 0%, 50%, 99%)

New Avg Damage without %DS / with Decrepify =  [61 to 717]*1.5 = 91-1075 (583 Avg.)
New Avg Damage with %DS / with Decrepify =  [122-1434]*1.5 = 183-2151 (1167 Avg.)

Calculation per 100 hits, considering 33% DS =  (583 Avg.)*67 + (1167 Avg.)*33= 39,061 + 38,511 = 77,572 / 100 =  775.


Imo, 775 > 594.


Changing the base weapon to WP will result in a bit more damage, but less FPA which pretty much evens it up to GT.

of course flaming makes you automatically correct..

but if you ignore that and look at the facts, the % of bodies popped by reaper's is low enough to be justified by its killing speed, hence enabling more runs in the same time and thereby having more effective runs..

and something being written in the guides doesn't not mean it is right.. those guides were written by mortals too, you know.. they can be wrong..

for full games, reaper's is definitely better..

Dude you had nothing to add to this conversation and truly have no idea what your talking about, you just repeated exactly what synonym said and acted like you know what your talking about which makes you look dumb as shit.

33% chance means it has a 1/3 chance or so of proccing which isnt bad but that means every 1-3 or 1-6 hits it will go off not every hit thats retarded. its 4.5frames per attack not attack per second.

No, it's 4.5 "Attacks per second", and 5.5 "Frames per second"

25/5.5 = 4.5(45454545454545)

33% = 1/3

4.5 multiplied by a third = 1.485 (1.5) like ash said.
