I would say Reprisal is functionally better.

pot is about the same:

3 x swipes = 450 pot extra per minute

2 x reprisals = 420 pot extra per minute

but with darkness up all the time 2 reprisals will likely do more dps then 3 swipes, someone else can do the math for that

swipe gets pacify while reprisal gets -10% dmg down

swipe would be better for normal dungeon runs, while reprisal would be good with most of savage.

overall reprisal is better, similar in activition requirements but not the same in strength or utility.

asking for 4 shield swipes to line up just right in a 60 sec time window is asking a bit much, and only happens when it works out perfectly, 3 shield swipes every 60 secs is more realistic. But yeah Shield Swipes activaction will get better with more patches that bring us better shields that will up that number, but still 4 shields swipes is asking for a perfect scenario.

after playing pld a little more with the new changes I find the change okay, and less clumsy to use then I first thought, but it is really just a minor dps increase while mting.

* I am not going to hold back or use Bulwark for a 150 pot move, procing shield swipe will just be a bonus if I am using Bulwark atm, and that is about it...it's not the same as Bulwark+Shield Swipe combo we had back in 2.x.
