RIP Reaper's Touch

why you had to do this ive came back to play this game after feel nostalgia and when i come back few days later you nerf my all time favorite skill and now make it close to non existenti beg you bring it back all of the other stuff just fells so off. :-1: :anguished:

It was a very unreliable skill beforehand.

If that was your all time favorite skill...

does it do less dmg than it did before? i havent logged on in a long time and would be saddened if it has even less potential

At least it's now mechanically better, and you can predict exactly what it does.Now that it's actually a decent skill, the devs can just keep buffing it until it pops into relevance somewhere.

It was a naf skill that was barely reliable.. It's why I hardly played focus outside pvp..and even then i only took it for Focus 5.Now it's reliable and decent.

same as wh 5 but on a way shorter cd. pure LF generation.how many of "us" were crying about lf generation - here we got it. still not enough? idk then

Reaper's Touch just got the normal necro treatment (AKA get necroed)that mean high cast time well animated slow moving skill

I have been using it and am working on an opinion but reliability is increased.

I don't like it. It's too weak and the ammo mechanic does not save it, but increases its clunkyness.

It should scale with power (currently it doesn't and works like sigil of leeching with flat values) and be able to crit. The LF gen should be 15%, the vulnerability a stack of 10 and the heal should be 1k HP. Therefor it should lose the ammo mechanic and have a 15s cooldown.

Ah, I forgot it does not scale with anything useful. That would explain my confusion and frustration at figuring out how to use it for something other than a casual wave of the hand to say, "Hello."

LF gain is the only solid use right now but I am still thinking on it.

Also, staff auto hits ~25% harder.

Oops, I was planning to withhold an opinion a bit longer.

That's because if it's not OP, it's not good in their eyes. Look at Axe 2 for necro. It got buffed so many times, and now it hits so hard it's insane. And people are still crying about it being too weak. Like they did the other 10 times it got buffed.

For core Necro, you gain life force now at such crazy amounts, every few attacks and it's as if you're near full Life Force for your shroud. Most of the Necromancer players will never be happy until it's stupidly busted. That's just the reality of it.

That's if he doesn't pop a fear or a boon corrupt while you're in the middle of pursuit.

And that's exactly what most players don't understand and see reaper as very strong because of that.But sadly it's still mostly a punching bag against skilled players

Eh I have experience with playing against Necromancers in general. They can be very tricky across all specs to disengage from. You're forgetting things like chill and cripple that they can apply to you at decently readily available cooldowns, so escaping them is not so easy.

We're not wanting anything spectacular at all. Just a rework with some meat on the bones. Waiting from launch to receive this is pathetic. No matter which way you see it. If you were a necro main from launch as many of us were, you'd like a little more than this..... come on now. Who here is still crying about axe 2 being too weak? Show yourselves!...crickets.

To all those who say its now a better version of it im sorry but i dont think you realize how good it was and how bad it is now (current skill has a very slow cast time and slow moving projectile that can easily be dealth with via deflect or just a simple dodge both are easy as you see projectile coming miles away and very slowly) the only benefit i see from it is that it gives decent life force but even then considering how slow you cast it and when it reaches your target you are better off casting other skills that do same except betterthe reason i liked old one was because if you play it right you can get 25 stack of vulnerability on 2 enemys and regen to anyone around as well as gaining like 1/3+ of your life force per cast and all of that just from one skill(it was also indeflectable) and provided quite good surprize for turn arounds.

It was a typical buff-nerf that happens a lot to necro. Both at the same time

I like it now. Very high lf with very reliable projectile with very high speed and very good animation. Top skill /s

Either you're in denial or trying to sound knowledgeable. Both of which are failing.

Denial is where you refuse to believe something as the truth. So I'm failing at that...thanks, cleared that up for me. I'd be 'succeeding' in my denial in order for your point to give me that A1 retort. Failing to sound knowledgeable, well..that's like your opinion man. :)

Maybe I messed up on the denial part. Good call. So the other still stands. Glad we're clear on that.

The main attraction of the old skill was the damage it could potentially do if, on the rare occasion, it actually hit each time. They stripped that aspect of it with the rework and left it feel rather like a wet noodle. All it needed was homing + damage compressed into one hit. The life stealing was not needed.
