I think it’s arguably one of the best, especially considering PI’s, and even more so paired with Bone Break, and since this thread is about Sunders…
On a WereWolf, my experience has been;
BoneBreak alone is fine for 1-off PI’s… they go down quick enough Amp/Decrep are not needed…
If headed to an area with high concentration/mobs of PI’s I swap my main weapon in town and run Reapers…
Before I had Reapers, Atma’s was working just fine… and Atma’s is still what my Hunter/Summons Druid uses… along with BoneBreak.
Treachery-swap on a WereWolf?
With the massive life pool, insane life steal and access to Cyclone… I don’t see lugging an armor around and standing in fires being required/worth it.
At any rate, my point is, you don’t need to lug a Reapers around in your cube/stash… if headed to an area with high density of PI’s, swap in town and don’t worry about the minuscule loss of DPS…
I feel the same about CTA on a WereWolf… I’d rather the +skills Hoto offers for casting into form, Oak, Heart and Zoo members.
But then, I also find CTA to be a royal PITA.
I’m sure I’m in the minority on that one.
My WereWolfW is lvl93, runs Death in a eDecapitator (eReapers when there will be packs of PI’s), and gets Fanata from Act1 merc… Has over 4000 life without Oak, over 5200 life with Oak, has 75@res (80 lite res), and up to 168% life steal.
My Hunter/Summons guy who is also lvl93, has only 5 hard points into the WereWolf (1 in Rabies), just enough to help the Zoo with Baal and DClone… and still has 5700 life (with Oak), 75@res, and up to 108% life steal.
My point here is Fade does not seem worth the stash space, the hassle of swapping and standing around, (IMO) - when you are stealing life faster than anything can take it, and have a life pool that makes you immune to any 1-shot situation.
Now, I realize we all have different priorities in our builds…
All the above is based on PVM… since I’m guessing BoneBreak does not apply to PvP, which I do not participate.
