The biggest thing I can mention is to never forget about strangulate. Pulls with more than 2 casters are uncommon, so generally, if you strangulate one, grip one & drop DnD on the whole mess, you'll...

As you seem to know, the real way to know is to sim & find out for sure. The point at which to swap to reaping won't be something so simple as "get X ArP, then go reaping." The easiest way to...

Coming to such a conclusion from a single post without so much as a log to back up any claims is premature. All the math & all the sims say otherwise, and the post you quoted gives no evidence that...

My only warning was for being overzealous on the report button & reporting a mod's post. He gave himself an infraction in his heart, just for me.
