Just a little feedback on the Reaper thus far...

[Komarimono]

Kinda agree with Shadow of Death and Whorl of Death. Seems like it's just a GCD Debuff(Not sure why people are calling it a DoT, since it's not a damage over time skill, but a Debuff) to just waste GCD.

Oh, and Soulsow. Not sure what they were thinking here... Instant out of Combat one time AoE attack, 5 second cast afterwards, which is a DPS loss if out of range compared to just using Harpe.

I'm still getting the hang on it, but pre-cast Soulsow before an engagement and (most likely in EX fights/Raids) when there's a downtime between first and second phase you recast it since you're just waiting anyway.

Back/Forward teleport is super handy.
I've made many clutch saves with it and then I'm quickly back in the fight again without having to run.
Although it's not that often I do like knowing that it's there just incase.

It's a relatively high-value ranged GCD that can be banked and used if you're forced to disengage from the boss, but you only get a single usage per phase typically, so you need to optimize around it. It's meant to be recharged during downtime / phase transitions, not unlike skills like meditation. Personally I think it's one of my favorite parts of reapers kit.

Well, I use it on CD right after pull to benefit being in time with AC. And I know you can charge it during downtime, and I do. But still seems weird to even include it just for that since as I said, disengaging from boss it's better to just use Harpe.

Harpe is 300 potency. Harvest Moon is 600 potency. Arcane Circle is a 3% buff.

Using Harvest moon because you want to align it with AC nets you 18 extra potency. Replacing a usage of Harpe with Harvest Moon nets you 300 potency.

I know this, and you get to use it 2-3 times a fight, if that, most times twice. Where as you're out of range more then that if caught out. I'm not talking about charging it and using it before a pull or during downtime, but on how it's pointless. And someone brought up using it when have to disengage which to me means range, where Harpe would be better, 5 seconds cast vs 1.30.

If it was really pointless, you wouldn't be using it 2-3 times per fight. It's a valuable tool for maintaining valuable uptime during certain mechanics in both of the current EX encounters, and part of what helps to make the job feel unique. Something being slightly niche doesn't make it pointless.
