Zenith.7301 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 It's still going to be abysmal DPS. Reaper shroud was weaker than camping greatsword auto+gravedigger, and greatsword alone needed buffs in the vicinity of 40%+, which repaer shroud didn't even get and uptime of reaper shroud is limited.

Maizan.8516 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The added damage looks nice but do you think the life force degen will make the increase irrelevant? Maybe the added 2% will be negligible since if things are dying quicker you'll be back out of shroud before your life force bottoms out. I am a solo open world kind of player anyway so I should be OK. I'll give it a shot. I prefer reaper anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it doesn't even matter how competitive the buffs are. The sole fact that we got the long-shot patch note of "Power Reaper damage increase" is enough to have players do a backflip.

mazut.4296 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The real question here: Is the increased LF drain and lower LF gain from auto attack killing the concept or is it acceptable?!On top of that. They forced reaper into glass cannon. What if I wanna spec it into tanking? Also, Shroud is our only real defense, what about that?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearshaman.3421 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I suspect that this will make the Soul Reaping line more important to those who want to camp shroud, which is as it should be really.... I'll definitely be testing this out on my reaper.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans are kitten.To be fair, Anet has always said that Necro can't have top DPS because shroud is too good defensively. So their answer is in-line with their design philosophy. They gave more damage and made shroud less defensive. You may not like it, but it's consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justine.6351 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Now wait for the tears about how squishy the reaper is going to be. I hope it works out for people but I'm pretty sure reapers are still going to be driven out of wvw by scourge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while the drain is bad enough, in WvW when you are getting hit alot, with multiple condis instantly, shroud will almost immediately tap out (regardless of soul traitline). Damage increase is great, but if you cannot stay in shroud to do the extra damage, all this change did was nerf the heck out of our survivability. And since reaper doesn't have barrier... everyone will flock to scourge.Not to mention the fact that playing any sort of power build in the current condi meta crap we have now is down right suicidal. ESPECIALLY for a front line class like reaper where aoe condi's are spammed like candy on halloween night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
