Power Reaper > Condi Scourge?

A guildie of mine who is a heavy raider said that with recent patches/buffs, power reaper is sitting at 32k dps which is quite good. She mentioned it was on Snowcrows but I didn't see any such benchmark (indeed they only have condi scourge). I dunno if they were using Dread or Awaken the Pain, I imagine on Golem Dread is easily maintained. Anyways, can anyone confirm this? I suck at golem testing.

Using dread would be dishonest since you can't get 100% fear uptime on a actual boss in the way you can on a golem

Only better at some bosses.Condi scourge/reaper is amazing for: sloth, samarog,mursaat overseer,sabetha,xera, and the new w5b1 (someone told me hes good for dhuum, but i didnt getbto him yet)

Power reaper might be better for vg, kc or so

Have your guildies link gear, runes, sigils, infusions, and traits. And skills and rotation. I haven't seen anyone hit those numbers yet.

Quoting Golem numbers is almost totally pointless. They do not reflect actual raid conditions, so should not be used as justification for certain builds.

Power reaper is 27k Condi Scourge is likely still 32k ish? Scourge provides support for free, reaper has none... I'd say Scourge is preferred on some fights, and other power classes preferred over Power Reaper atm. However either is viable and capable of providing DPS.

Especially for Scourge where the boss being immobile or not makes a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge difference because of Shade placement (and Plaguelands).

Like, Scourge DPS probably varies a lot between Sabetha and VG, for example.

That's prior to the 12-12 patch though

So how is reaper at 32k? Get your friend to explain please. This could be big.

OK, right from [sC] home pagehttps://snowcrows.com/benchmarks/

I guess she might have been mistaken then :/ Ah well, maybe some day

Just remember to play what you want and how you want, and not what is set behind benchmarks! Either base necro, reaper or scourge is still all fun to play! :D

Oh I do, but it would've been nice to see power reaper in a raid-wanted position.
