Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed reading up the list of Reaper skills that there’s no mention of minions, or at least the ones you can use while you’re a vanilla necromancer. Does this mean Reapers do not have access to them?

They have access to minions. The elite specialization just doesn’t use them.

Ahhhhh I see, thank you

There is a new Reaper shout that summons a shambling horror for every foe/enemy object in the area.

“Rise!”

Reaper isn’t a new class. Like all elite specs it’s simply an extra trait line that gives you a new weapon type, some large mechanical change, and 4 more skills when you use it.

Every skill on the base necro is also usable when using the reaper elite spec (expcept for your shroud skills, which are replaced by reaper’s shroud) just like every other class.

Reaper makes MM fun again..almost as fun as GW 1 MM. In Beta, I used Clerics armor with Monks runes and Berzerker jewelry and weapons.
The really hard part is deciding the spec lines, other than Reaper. I normally go with Blood, Death, and Soul Reaping (<3 Dhuumfire + piercing vulnerability), but one has to go in order to use Reaper. I chose to give up SR because Blood ( that AoE heal on RS 4 seems to be far more effective than DS 4) and Death give me higher survivability.

The amount of minions you can raise is so much fun. It’s like having my personal, Army of Darkness, following me around like a hoard of ugly ducklings >^_^<
