Guild Wars 2

dumb forum bug is dumb

Actually the “meta” is about Direct damage. That’s why you can Burst an enemy down with direct damage, while you can’t with condition damage.
You can be dangerous, spam some conditions, but if you miss your skills you will inflict low damage.
The reaper have 2 skills to inflict “high” condition damage: scepter 3 (7 torment if the enemy have 5 condi in him) and the RS 4, expecially combined with an icefield to spam chill. The best is to combine RS4 and corrosive poison cloud, but no one use it why chose other builds than the signet or the corruption make the necro totally fall out of the meta, losing his utility. (there’s much better dps than the reaper, with more damage and survavibility)

Then the only thing a reaper can do is use his skills to accumulate conditions and send them back to the enemy.
BUT the actual meta is more or less without condition damage builds and that make the necro unable to redirect high condition damage against the enemy (collecting conditions by signet of plague or random aoe condi, for example). That had already made the reaper lose a good % of damage, expecially counting that in the precious meta 50% of classes played with condi. (now only the necro and eventually the mallyx reve, but the shiro reve is actually a better dps why can burst down the enemy without making him redirect your damage on you —reaper--)

Actually the Reaper win not only for the condition damage but also why can inflict direct damage. That’s the reason why no one use rabid anymore and everyone use carrion or, better, mercenary. Witht he trait you can inflict good direct damage, making you able to play the condition damage and being able to kill someone.
If you play a reaper with no Power you lose from 1/3 to 2/5 of your damage.

Frequently i inflict more or less the same amount of condition and direct damage. Something like 100k direct damage and 150k of condition damage with my reaper.
