get rid of snap cast or
remove necromancer’s Unblockable marks trait unblockable condition spam on low cooldown is way too controlling to be healthy in pvp

usually unblockable skills have a huge drawback this is not the case when its all of your default weapon skills with a huge radius

the fact that even i have been undefeated since i grabbed my reaper by simply abusing that one trait speaks leagues

Sorry, I’m a Reaper and I seriously don’t know how you can spam conditions with the Staff…
Still if unblockable, it’s a weak condition damage weapon, used only why of it’s utility skills (condi transfer and fear) and why is really the best weapon to accumulate life force in sPvP (expecially why have a trait for that).
AA that don’t inflict condition, 2 bleed every 5 sec, 4s chill and 5s poison every 16 sec, condi transfer every 20 sec and fear (that also inflict 3s chill) every 32 sec. If you don’t accumulate damaging conditions in yourself to transfer to your enemy with Putrid Mark, the condition damage of that weapon is the worst of the game, still with the reaper traits for the damage on chill.

Unblockable marks fit perfectly the thematic of the necromancer and help to make that weapon viable.
The necro don’t have any really good defensive skills (only a protect+breakstun, a teleport wurm that frequently don’t teleport you where the wurm is and a shadow walk that is usefull only in few situations). The only defence of the necromancer is accumulate LF and kill the enemy before he kill you.
That’s why a unblockable weapon with utility skills is perfectly good and don’t make any real problem to the balance of the game.

Unblockable skills don’t make really big problems to anyone or you’ll see every reaper use “nothing can save you” to become unblockable for X seconds. But n oone use it and there’s a reason.

If you’re undefeated since you grabbed the reaper you’re probably a really good one or a really lucky one.
