    Why don't you try to use cable step inside shadow reaping rotation so you can keep the 50% faster skill casts glyph up 100% of the time?

    I've already thought of that before, but judging that I'd use it for atleast 3 skills apart, it will take a toll towards the damage, and having too much attack speed won't add much into giving out more skills if you were to consider to use cable on every 2seconds, still, I'd still look it up on the future because I still have to test it myself. I need time to experiment things out

    yeah you can do that, if you like more crit however, just pick 2 resized godsbane RING not 3 sets, because earring and necklace is a big loss to crit when converted

    Does the increased attack speed not make up for the lost crit?

    Didn't see anything on patch notes but seems like Reapers got crit chance glyph on Shadow Burst for 2 points!

    No, in fact a normal flawless rotation, on your 3rd loop, you'll get dilemma because all the skills are on cooldown

    I was thinking about how to insert cable in SR rotation, seems like u should not be too close to bam when using cable bec u would be bounced and it takes up some time, but from mid to far distance it feels alright. My friends also mentioned one pvp trick "step canceling cable" but I am not sure if we can put all those in. And definitely not prioritizing cable in SR, but to start the SR combo with a cable is great, it helps u stack attack speed buff faster. I think either before popping SR or right after SR.
    So far I am doing those on IOD bams but they r too squishy under my SR and I dont have much time running dungeons this week, would u mind doing some tests concerning dps gain/loss when using cable?

    I'm usually experimenting every time, not just this patch, as long as I can see that there's a room for improvement. :) thanks for the suggestion though :D but we will see. It could work before SR, but isn't really much necessary if you take into the situation the casting time for cable, and SR animation time, because you get instantly 4 quick shadow reaping stacks if you start with spiral. It'll never be beneficial to use cable inside / while using SR rotation because the asp is too fast, there's no room for cooldowns, casting time will also lose you dps, not unless, you know grim will reset forever. And definitely not right after SR neither, unless again, you will use shadow burst / shadow lash, because going straight to the combo without using the either two, will make your cable STILL on cooldown after finishing 1 rotation, on which answers that -- its not worth it. Because your normal rotation will do much more damage rather than spamming shadow burst / shadow lash, and you'll also lose a filler count on which you'll be stuck on auto-attack for a second (If you get a 2-flawless rotation).
