#CleanTheSlate
I took a break from playing my Reaper, and when I returned, most of my opponents had strategies to beat me. So I will ask you all, what is your strategy vs xxx?
Chronomancer (relevant condi and power builds)
Scrapper
Daredevil
Dragon Hunter
Berserker
Tempest
Revenant (with and without Mallyx)
Druid
Reaper (power and other condi reapers)
Also, any details on strategies that change between reaper and base necro against older builds would be appreciated.
I’m looking for advice that answers the questions, “What should I do?” and “What are they trying to do to stop me from doing that?”
Maybe you can show us your build?
Game seems more about build/counter-build than play/counter-play to me.
Staff for ranged pressure and condition transfer.
Second weapon to suit your playstyle
Plague signet for condition transfer
Some type of pet to deal with traps and marks (I use Rise to counter DH traps)
Viper seems to work well in all matchups since your damage output isn’t weak against people who stack defense against conditions or weak against people who stack defense against power.
After that, it’s more about reaction speed rather than strategies, IMO.
I’ll explain using the current build I’m using. It is imo a good build because even when I’m playing badly, I get carried by it and still win XD
I’m also particularly proud of the way the utilities, healing, elite and traits and runes and sigils synergize with one another. My choice of shouts and signets is just simply a masterstroke.
You’ll struggle against daredevils, but only at the start. Once they blow their initiatives and especially shadowstep (which is usually their only stun breaker) to kite you, the fight will tilt in your favor. They won’t be able to burst you down easily either since you’re quite tanky with this build.
You’ll struggle against high healing longbow seed druids. They can out-sustain you.
You’ll struggle against diamondskin eles.
