reaper sucks

Make Communio an instant. As it is now, not only you can be stunned or silenced, but also anything that moves you in any way also interrupts it.
And change Immortal Sacrifice stacks not fall off on death.

I could get behind that

I might sound like a contrarian, but I don’t think RPR’s damage is what hampers them the most. Almost all of their damage is single-target non-fluff damage because their AOE capability is among the worst in the whole job roster.

Their true main issue IMO is that their burst is incredibly telegraphed. Death Warrant’s icon is like a fire-alarm prompting you to Guard immediately. ''Hit enemies without Guard!'' I hear already, but people usually flee behind enemy lines after using it, putting you at high risk if you chase them. Pretty much the only sure-fire way to execute Death Warrant to completion is to have LB at the ready to Guard-break.

Another issue they have, as people have already pointed out, is that Communio is very slow to hit (2.94s from your last weaponskill). It makes Communio bad at delivering the coup de grâce and at AOE-ing precisely. I'm confident in saying that Hysteria is the best part of RPR's LB and not Communio in its current state.

If I had my way, I would:
• make Death Warrant’s icon appear above the RPR instead of above the target. That way, DW would not be as conspicuous and enemies would have to check their debuffs to see if they’re the intended target.
• make Communio and instant cast spell.
• (Maybeee) increase Soul Slice, Gibbet, Gallows' potencies from 8K to 9K.
