Bigpapasmurf.5623 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I find that reapers are a tougher fight for me lately so I have been looking to fight as much as I can to git gud again at fighting them (esp those with Axe...decent damage and range)Wonder what server they are in as I am always looking for good duelers. Only way to git gud is to fight those who are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way to git gud is to fight those who are better.I'm on Anvil Rock if you ever want some duels. I'm a better core Necro than Reaper but I play both frequently. Occasionally I will play hybrid core or full condition Scourge but the vast majority of the time I play glass or bruiser power builds.I can think of more than a few WvW Necros better than myself, but because I'm not in contact with most of them, I can't set up any duels for you with them. If you'd like to know what ones to look out for that are also very good though, just let me know and I can point you in the right direction.

DeceiverX.8361 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The play is decent overall - notably your creation of spacing and utilization of Axe and Wurm - but it's really hard to say much more given that a lot of the opponents you faced were clearly worse players than you (and I would say a noticeable enough of them were generally just not very good), or at least were making a lot of mistakes I see often in weaker duelists in WvW (like not dodging CttB). Even in tough matchups like Holo and Warrior, they really didn't leverage their advantages much despite having a sizeable number of them when playing into reaper. As a whole, with the decline in skilled play in WvW in general and good use of utilities and what movement options the reaper has, the play was refreshing to see nonetheless.I think Reaper has overall been nerfed (notably with hits to its sustain and shroud comboing) despite the probably very noticeable damage buffs it received. So I understand the sentiment of being a bit frustrated.If I had to point out an area of improvement in particular, I'd say to work on chaining your combos together a bit better. I saw very few instances where the GS5->4 and 4->5 aftercast interrupts were properly utilized, which can make a big difference in improving your matchups against more skilled opponents who will have the knowhow to deal with both of these skills' slower cast completion times, or simply just faster reactions.

Also since ever i feel like fighting outnumbered fights with same skill lvl players will always end bad because unlike thief or mesmer for ex, our class does not work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But take care because that video is only possible when facin terrible players. players of your skill lvl will kick your arse on any other class because they have better more useful mechanics and abilities.I died so many more times than i was successful and most were because of the limit of the class which is very very limited.
