Bloodsown Circle should fall off as soon as you hit 8 stacks

RPR is amazing. I'm not disputing that. However my only main gripe about the class is how infuriating Bloodsown Circle clips due to its set timer.

Nobody likes clipping GCDs. anyone trying to use tinctures or macros understand true pain.

It is a minor, minor change but please make it so Bloodsown Circle falls off if you hit 8 immortal stacks, along side its current Bloodsown Circle falls off after 6 seconds.

Thank you.

Just encase this sentence is confusing,

Bloodsown Circle should fall of if - The Reaper acquires 8 stacks of immortal OR 6 seconds has passed

I'm still confused. What action is delaying what other action due to Bloodsown Circle having a duration of 6s?

I'd rather they change it to either every action gave a stack, including healing and such, or the let jobs contribute more than 1 stack up to a max of 8. Or I guess they could remove the whole need for a party and just let it do max damage and just have it trigger right after you press Arcane Circle.

I'd rather they make a change to Bloodsewn Circle since you can never get 8 stacks in 4 party content. Would prefer if the Reaper could generate more stacks on their own while limiting other party members to just 1 stack.

The 6 second debuff is so you can't use Harvest right away.

Healing spells do count, at least according to the description. If they're not, report it for a fix to the developers.

"Circle of Sacrifice Effect: When you or party members under this effect successfully land a weaponskill or cast a spell, the reaper who applied it may be granted a stack of Immortal Sacrifice, up to a maximum of 8" (emphasis added)

The only heals that wouldn't count are the ones that aren't hard cast, in which case if a healer is using abilities to heal, they're likely still casting DPS spells.

They don't balance skills around 4-man, dungeon content. Monks have been getting fewer chakra stacks since Stormblood when using Brotherhood in dungeons for 5 years now. There's no reason reaper should be a special case to get more stacks in dungeons.

You can't use plentiful Harvest until bloodsown drops off. sometimes causing you to miss a gcd or two and ruining your opener. Particularly the early enshroud combo

That's why I suggested if they allow it to drop after 8 stacks (since 8 is the max) it doesn't necessarily change how it works. it just makes it a little cleaner to execute.

Sometimes? If it has a fixed duration that prevents you from performing the actions in your opener when you intend to perform them, why are you planning an opener that wants to use those actions during that fixed duration? Why aren't you planning your rotation around not being able to use Harvest during those 6s, since it lasts 6s every time?

because one of the optimal rotation openers for reaper is - Shadow of death> Arcane Circle, Soul Slice Tincture, Soul Slice > Plentiful harvest, enshroud
