Reaper Level 90 Single Rotation Priority:

1. Cast Shadow of Death. This grants Death’s Design (Damage +10%) for 30 seconds. Maintain this buff at all times.
2. Cast Arcane Circle on cooldown.
3. Cast Plentiful Harvest if you have below 50 Shroud (Blue/Green bar) Gauge while also having Immortal Stacks.
4. Cast Soul Slice if you have below 50 Soul (Red Bar).
5. Cast Gluttony if you have at least 50 Soul.
6. Enter the Enshroud Phase when you are above 50 Shroud, and follow this rotation:
   • Cast either Void Reaping or Cross Reaping, alternating between them, four times.
   • Weave in Lemure’s Slice between every Void or Cross Reaping.
   • Finish the Enshroud Phase with Communio.
7. Cast Blood Stalk to enter Soul Reaver, which changes Gibbet (Flank) to Unveiled Gibbet and Gallows (Rear) to Unveiled Gallows. Use them if you have above 50 Soul or below 90 Shroud.
8. Cast Harvest Moon (from Soulsow) if the boss is about to become invulnerable or untargetable.
9. Cast Harpe 2 seconds before pull or if you cannot be in Melee range.
10. Cast Soulsow out of combat or if the boss is untargetable for longer than its cast time (5 seconds).

Use your basic combo, Slice > Waxing Slice > Infernal Slice, to build your Soul Gauge or as fillers if you don’t have any gauge to spend. When your Soul or Shroud gauge has filled up, follow the priority system above.

Reaper Level 90 AoE Rotation Priority:

1. Cast Whorl of Death for the Death’s Design buff (+10% damage). Maintain this buff at all times.
2. Cast Guillotine if you have any Reaver Stacks.
3. Cast Arcane Circle whenever available.
4. Cast Plentiful Harvest if you have at least 50 Shroud and you also have some Immortal Stacks. This can provide enough Shroud to enter the Enshroud Phase.
5. Cast Soul Scythe if you have below 50 Soul.
6. Cast Gluttony if you have above 50 Soul.
7. Enter the Enshroud Phase and cast the following combo:
   • Grim Reaping > Grim Reaping > Lemure’s Scythe > Grim Reaping > Grim Reaping > Lemure’s Scythe > Communio.

9. Cast Grim Swathe if you are above 50 Soul and below 90 Shroud.
10. Cast Harpe if you cannot be in Melee range.

You can use the following combo as your bread and butter filler if none of the above is available:
