You didnt do any calculation's your not smart enough to do math.
Here are the calculations with with I tried knocking sense into you, in case you missed them, feel free to go through them again.. As for my math ability... you have no idea

most of the time, they will be active.. has a 33% chance of casting decrep and i'm sure 1 decrep stays for at least as long as 3 hits from the merc, which means continuous decrepify..
about DS, 33% from ereapers and 15% from guil is close to 50%, which is one DS in two hits, odds I'd definitely take..

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

Apparently repeating what Synonym said didn't manage to convince you, so I'm not sure why there was a problem with that..
Actually, it is 4.5 attacks per second (which translates to 5.5 fpa)..
And 1/3 chance of procing means that it procs once in 3 hits, not once in 6 hits.. and if you do more than 3 hits per second (which you do, seeing as you do 4.5 hits per second and 4.5 > 3), you proc DS every second, which was what I meant..
P.S: Have fun flaming..

Level 1 decrepify only lasts for 4 seconds, agreed.
The merc attacks 4.5 times per second, and having a 33% chance of casting decrepify, which is once every 3 attacks, it can be safe to assume that decrepify casts every 1 second.
It lasts 4 seconds and casts every 1 second, pretty much meaning that the decrepify is never off..
And it has nothing to do with luck.. it's plain logic..
Losing those 5-6 bodies would be worth it since it allows you to do 2 extra runs in the same time which will definitely more than compensate for those 5-6 lost bodies..
P.S: I was smart enough to do the math, are you smart enough to see the facts when they stare at you?

I've seen it in action its never on for more then 50% of the time at best.
Also, just because you haven't seen something in action doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.. I have seen neither the second world war nor the great depression, but I can't run around saying that they didn't happen.. To prove something, what you need is logic, not your eyewitness..
