Reaping strike and Cadence

[iaregamertom]

Hi
Just want to clarify that reaping strike procs with cadence as after two hours of putting a point in it I have NEVER seen it proc, just the usual soldier procs.
Thanks

Cadence is 100% chance (can be played as default attack), reaping strike is not, it is with max 25% chance or so... like 1/4 times if you understand maths. And Reaping Strike can not be set as default attack. Both can be combined tho and they will show once u go into rampage mode.

Yes but although the third strike for Cadence always illiminates procs, the first two hits of cadence should in theory allow the chance for reaping strike to proc, but it never has, unless it simply doesnt have a visible icon of course. I have only one point in it and the soldiers WPS so they are all eqaul chance (8 percent).
I cant find a direct answer on google but it appears that it may not work with cadence even though it should

Cadence's third strike never allows WPS (such as Reaping Strike), but the 2 strikes in between do. If you're melee, Reaping Strike looks like a red cleave of love when it activates.

Considering that it wont activate on your 3rd strike, and 8% chance sucks, probably the few times it activated you failed to notice it.

I've been playing death knight, gotten to lvl 56 so far, and I'm pretty sure that I did see reaping strike hit even when using cadence.

But don't take my word as a guarantee, I'm currently playing and lvl others with necromancer as well so I might be remembering wrong.

I know it procs because I have used them together before and seen it proc plenty. Are you sure you know what Reaping Strike looks like?

I also have a single point in Reping Strike and Cadence being my default attack. I can confirm that reaping strike procs off of Cadence tho I havent paid attention to which attack. It does look like red mist emenating from your target.

[iaregamertom]

No I dont know what it looks like as I havent seen it proc yet, its possible I just havent noticed but I have played a couple of hours and was trying to look out for it, might use GDstash to pump points into it with a test character to see.

Target dummy west side of the prison on the wall outside. Just try it witout cadence until it proc and ypu will see what it look like. Then use cadence

[iaregamertom]

Yes, used the target dummy with all other buffs etc off, I do see a red mist proc, guess that is it, I thought it would have a small icon come up in the bottom left like cadence though so thats where I was looking.
My error, as now I think about it, the soldier WPS dont come up up there so I have no clue why I was expecting it to be different.
Thanks all

Fx for some skills are really easy to miss. Cadence is one I miss seeing the hit fx for regularly. Mebbe in a future update the devs can upgrade certain skill fx so they're more noticeable?

Cadence is different because the first two hits charge the attack. The icon tells you the attack is charged and ready.
