I posted this as well, but now that I think about it, if your cycle is extremely close to 12 seconds consistently it shouldn't really matter when you mangle during the cycle, as long as you're only mangling once per 12 second cycle. In this regard you could have the idol effect rip. That still won't make a huge difference though. The idol contributes ~81 ap (with kings) which adds ~20 damage to rip which is a dps increase of about 1.6 dps. Not earthshattering by any means and it means running a cycle that is more prone to disruption or mistiming.
