I’m not really sure what the Reaper is trying to accomplish. There has been the obvious problem of the GS power not compensating for its speed, but even beyond that I feel like it’s just another trait line, without giving any meaningful addition. The shouts are incredibly underwhelming in effect and in cast/cooldowns. They’re just shout versions of what we already have.
The Reaper Shroud is pretty good but I think there should be a better synergy between it and the GS. The theme is apparent, but the execution is not. GS needs some LF gen on auto attack, and that combined with a boost in speed will make it a great companion to the new shroud.
Chronomancer is the template that should be used for all elite specs. The insane utility it has both personal and party wide is what I expect from each elite spec, and with the Reaper it just doesn’t exist. More of the same boring, strictly dps dealing Necro that we have had for years.
