The 3 top dps skills of Reaper:

Void Slice
Cross Slash
Communio

By a pretty wide margin.

Their burst mode is literally what is putting them head and shoulders above everyone else, they're decidedly average without it.

Just pop on your nearest Abacus site, pull up the top RPR, look at what each skill is doing and it'll be those 3 skills as the very top for every Reaper.

Oh also the fact they have literally no animation locks and the only cast they have is Communio which is fast enough that it doesn't interfere with the sheer volume of auto attacks they put out.

What you're asking for is the job gutting and while they are indeed number 1, it's not by such a chasm that they need to start wacking potency.

A slight cooldown change is enough to bring them down to a reasonable level.
