Condi reapers rejoice!

Condi reaper will now make a glorious return to raiding content:3

With your own fields getting priority the issue of spin2win + ice field not happening cause of 1000 other fields is fixed:3
Add 200 extra condi damage for gs from lingering curses and we are gucci:3

Definitely sounds promising, though I wonder if it still would require scepter to be part of the rotation.

I assume it will because the damage carries over to other weapons but they said nothing about the condi duration also being added to other weapons.

The condi duration is scepter only.

The point is that you will be able to use GS/staff/any main hand weapon in your rotation without a drop in you're cdamage stat. It bring flexibility to the previously rigid scepter/X.

No I get it, someone said they wonder if scepter will still be used for condi reaper. I think it'll still be used for the duration.

Hey guys, I'ma highjack this topic for a question. I'm checking condi reaper on snowcrows, and I'm wondering why the build uses summon bone fiend. Isn't there a better spell? Or does it have some synergy with something that I'm not seeing? Why not use shadow fiend, which helps a lot with chilled?

Because it has 100% proj combo on its auto-attack (so more chill with DS#5, some lifesteal with wells...)

But yeah, IMO Shadow Fiend is a safer option : okai dps, it grants LF that C.Reaper struggle to regen, and on the active skill you may have a chance to apply blind/chill if Chilling Darkness off CD.

There are a lot of small reasons that put together give the answer. Bone fiend's auto attack fires two 100% projectile finishers. If positioned well within a combo field that does something (fire, ice, ethereal, poison) it can add extra dps.
Other than that it's ranged. If target tends to move around melee minion will waste time repositioning and thus score a decrease in dps. Bone fiend will just keep firing unless target  moves really far away.

Also it's command skill inflicts immobilze for 2s x2 (so 4 total) which does fair chunk of breakbar damage. It also immobilizes minion itself, which again may be used for small micro management to keep it outta heat.

Generally it allows for more stable dps and more player control. But given the boss does not murder any minion that dares approach in seconds and isn't too mobile, you're pretty safe picking shadow fiend for pretty solid dps without having to micro-manage to get optimal results.
