First try with the newly buffed Power Harbinger. I personally like it more than Reaper, because I'm not a big fan of Shroud2/5 on Reaper due to it's weird behaviour (charging through orbs, Sh5 behaving like trap and not hitting if you aren't close to the middle ..). But let's do a quick comparison: Both specs are fine with Gs camping and can use whatever weapons in the second set (I'd probably recommend either Staff, or Sword+Torch/Warhorn; Sword Mh is nice due to faster ranged attacks and having access to a leap and Torch/Warhorn just for some CC). Reaper Heal skill is nice for tagging crabs, which you don't have on Harb. Elite is more in favour of Harb, since you can bring Elixir as well for immediate boon rampup. If Elixir, or Lich is better dps wise, we'll see with further testing. The main difference is of course the shroud. Harb's main shroud skills are ranged instead of melee, which is a nice bonus. As mentioned, not having to deal with the Shroud 2 charge bug is a nice change of pace and Harb Sh2 also doesn't lock you in place. The charge from Harb Sh3 is such a short animation, that it pretty much has no adverse effect. Sh4 is actually pretty nice to also use for the Evade frame in case it's ever needed (In the PoV for example to jump into Soo-Won close Green). Shroud5 is a stronger CC than Reaper Sh5 and also triggers your Fireworks Relic, so it's used in a specific spot in the rotation.

Regarding the specific gameplay, it can definitely be improved. Prestacking Blight in Orb phases probably allows for some optimised rotation (more Sh4 use maybe). I didn't yet try it with weapon swapping, but golem numbers suggest that it's practically not really a gain, due to having Stacking sigil on the other weapon set and Greatsword being so strong. The Goliath burst was already decent (400k+), however, this can also be further improved: I shouldn't have used Heal Elixir, since I was on 25 blight already and most notably, this delayed Shroud2, which meant I couldn't get the second one through. Better: Gs54, Wells, Shroud2, Shroud5, Shroud1 (3, or 4 times), Shroud 3, Shroud2 (maybe one AA less and fitting in Shroud4 at the end is even better).

(Yeah, Lottie needed the kill on her Alt, so we just did it with 9 people.)
