I can imagine Reap creating outwards nova effect (Similar to GW1 Death Nova effect, but dark in color), while Harvest creates inward nova effect (Similar to the effect that Rotmouth Suckers use, but instead clear dark color).

Perhaps the Harvest would steal boon from 1-2 foes, while giving condition to 1-2 hit foes, or just convert 1 boon on 1-2 hit foes and convert 1-2 conditions on you to boons depending on how many foes you hit, but I dunno.

Reaper of Grenth is in use as Racial Elite for Humans, perhaps call it “Grave Spine”, “Grave’s Reach” or something.

While Rigor Mortis would inflict 3-4 seconds of chill.

Othervise great looking suggestions, before my suggestions of course.

I love this idea. Though, there would have to be other classes that could use this new weapon. Thinking maybe Ele. Not sure what the skills would be, but I love the concept…and the well thought out weapon skills. Good job.

I doubt it will ever happen, though, but good job.

This is an awesome idea, a shame that its too awesome to ever happen.

First I want to see all current weapons expanded to all professions. Yes, even if I cringe at the idea, that includes Rifles and Hammers on professions such as Thief, Elementalist and Mesmer. Then I would like to see more weapon types added, Scythe isn’t that unlikely considering it already existed in Guild Wars. By now, two whole years in, I would’ve hoped they had added at least one “new” (existing) weapon to every profession, but they seem to prioritize other things, such as the NPE. I guess the NPE is why we never got the borderline promised legendary trinket(s) before the end of 2013, and precursor scavenger hunt as well. There’s a lot of things that was supposedly coming before 2013 was over, now it’s nearing the end of a year since then, with none of these things having been implemented. We have gotten other things though.

mm, I was thinking it could be a melee slasher weapon for another class (similar to how elementalist takes the melee dagger and makes it ranged) but couldn’t think of things to fit.

My idea with scythe necro is to give necromancer the supporting skills it severely lacks right now

Grenthy Grenth Grenth. Be careful with that, non-humans don’t care about your false gods.

Makes me think about a thread that i posted a while ago.
