Sigmoid.7082 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The damage isnt much higher now than it was before. Its just that now people are speccing for damage via SR and RO instead of sustain via BM and BB. Even the amulet choice has changed. You've gone from usually not taking any damage traits and a no crit damage amulet, 150% crit damage with paladins, to taking a critical damage amulet and two damage traits, 187% outside of shroud and 227% inside with demolisher. Its why necros now seem like they are doing "insane" damage and got a "huge buff" when relative to before its actually not that much of a change. If people specced the same way now as they did before they would only be doing about ~10% less damage if you can hit 100% crit chance. And this is only in shroud. Outside of shroud the difference between then and now is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got lazy and decided they could facetank Reaper Shroud because, well, they could. That lousy line of play didn't have enough punishment before Scourge was released. Now they're upset that's no longer a good idea, because they were so focused on Scourge, they ignored the fact Reaper was getting damage buffs.

And that's why I hit as hard out of shroud as i do in shroud.Run? I'll axe you down with ranged and Want close action? I got my gs and reaper mode.Usually on a non squishy I can get up to 5k damage just by ghastly claws. A squishy glass char I can get up to 8k+ with 1 skill.

santso.9201 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Because Axe aa is shiet, 3 is corrupt without real dmg so Axe 2 is burst skill with relatively low dps(compare it to Rangers lb2 for example.) Fighting reaper is all about kiting and positioning. Just Dodge or Los Axe 2 like any other ranged burst skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamble.4580 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Can get raped by every class but ele but the one class that u can avoid and has a high burst it's reaper? Wtf is it only higher players who see what's really op. Eng is very op in higher games rev and war.... Reaper thf mes rng and grd are just hoping they have a good eng rev or war for the win...

Isle of Stars.3049 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yes, the damage is intended to penalize players for thinking that they can chew it.I like how some ppl complains about Necro damage and Necro mains complain about DEs.Ahhh, the circle of life.

kipthelip.5802 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Power reaper still seems meh to me. You are an easy kill to start fights at the beginning of the game and doesn't one of the damage boosts require dropping blighter's boon? Are people doing that? How aren't you dieing like crazy? I've dabbled in power reaper, didn't like it and I think it sucks that cond reaper is basically dead, but I'll try it again seems dubious to me not having blighter's boon.

I have a combo with blighter's that is just toooo fun. Tanky and hard hitting. Good ranged damage and epic close combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufo.3716 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The balance team will never say a word on these boards about anything. And why would you complain about necro when thief and mesmer are much worse than necro by far. It's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolguy.8702 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Agreed, everytime i see a reaper on the other team i have to swap to rifle de just to enjoy the game a bit since they ruin melee combat so much.

If you miss #2 then axe kinda lacks counter pressure. Losing to a deadeye or any range player who knows what they are doing is supposed to be normal though.
