I’m looking for any suggestions, or if I am basically on the right track for my reaper.

With the stats (since not accounting ascended stats), I am almost at 100% crit chance in shroud. Not to mention, getting to 25 stacks of might is so insanely fast, its not even funny, hence why not even using runes to increase the boon duration (could be my first mistake there).

As for why all the shouts, I’ll explain.

Rise – I like it more because if I’m reading it right, 50% damage reduction if I hit foes and get minions, which seems a lot better than spectral Armor in getting just protection buff. Plus, I can usually spam it more in large groups of mobs.

Suffer – for the chill factor to help in breaking a blue bar, and added condition removal.

Nothing can save you – Honestly the one I am tempted to swap out at times. Boon ripping is nice, unblockable is nice, but not meeting much stuff that blocks anyway. One thing I am tempted to swap it with is spectral grasp.

Chilled to the bone – Most of my time is wanting to be in reaper shroud, so going lich or plague isn’t that great. The golem, eh. So I was left with the shout, which really helps with breaking the blue bar, and saving oneself when surrounded.

I stick with greatsword because the AoE blind is nice, the pull is amazing in massive mob fights to aoe down, and gravedigger can hit like a truck if you come out of shroud with all the might built up.

Is it squishy? Yes, but I rarely go down unless fighting more than I can handle, or I just mow them down before they get anywhere close.

Does it support? Not really. Vulnerability stacking is about it. The rest I sorta save up to CC a champ or legendary to help break their bar, or for oh crap moments.

And yes, I have thought about Curses, but not sure what to give up, or if really needed at all.

Necro is pretty selfish regardless lol. Rise! Definitely can make up for your lack of defensive stats in a zerk build. In fact, I’m pretty sure necro is the most forgiving zerker class out there.

I use something similar, only with the flesh golem, and You are all Weaklings instead of Nothing can Save You.

I wouldn’t consider it squishy. I almost never die, especially since i have a quick escape with RS#2. Also, rise does wonders with survivability.

The only thing i don’t like is i find it pretty weak against tough mobs. if you have to range, axe sucks big time. If you can mele, gs doesn’t cut it for sustained damage.

I think this build works well for clearing packs of mobs and little else.
