Guild Wars 2

I spent around 300 gold to re-gear my reaper into a condi build to really try out the new bleeds and I must say that Reapers are now in a competitive spot in WvW roaming.

We are able to compete rather decently against most of the meta builds roaming out there and this is great news.

We are able to output consistent condi bursts almost at the same level as condi chronos and thieves (who have been able to do this forever) and this is just a really big pleasure.

Thank you Anet. We are now able to fight on more even grounds against other classes.
I am now able to play my Reaper again and have fun roaming with my Reaper toon whose design I love the most.

They should not have buffed condi reaper, what they needed to do was give you guys a better power build to play with instead. Having 25 stacks of bleed come out of nowhere added to about 5 other instant applying condis have made reaper very spooky and kinda sitting in the “broken” section of the game.

“BUT REAPERS HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING NICE WE DESERVE THIS CONDI BUILD”

Yes I understand this, but with this new change it makes you no better than being any other broken class in the game.

And for their next balance update maybe they will adjust staff aa to grant 50 endurance per target hit, marks grant 2seconds of invulnerability and a new trait that makes vulnerability cause chill / poison cause fear.

Then reapers would be amazingly faceroll balanced.

Reapers dont throw out 25 stacks of bleed out of “nowhere” RS5-RS4 combo isn’t out of no where. Stay out of their ice field and stop trying to faceroll a reaper in shroud if you can’t handle it.

We need Commander Shepard, before the condi builds spread out for all the universe.

Necro is a light class and lack of mobility still makes them easily meltable. Surely there has to be a payoff for playing necro somewhere…shouldn’t a light class have high damage from either power or condi?
There seems to be a general dislike for light class damage in general. Any light class that has a damaging build seems to be called broken and generate a alot of calls for a nerf. Why is this a thing?

Its so op that I leveled one, and I am now pushing to gear it, and get its elite. It eats guards and DH for lunch with its boon corruption, bleeds, and life siphon. The team shout build for necro paired with a thief venom share is pure devastation in a 4-6 man group.

Don’t cry too much when they nerfhammer it next balance patch. Abuse it until that.

blind > 3 bleed stacks
fear > 3 bleed stacks
chill > 3 bleed stacks
corrupt fury > 3 bleed stacks
corrupt stability > 3 bleed stacks
corrupt resistance > 3 bleed stacks

…and additionally of course the bleed spam from scepter.

“Stay out of their ice field” … LMAO! That hint was useful pre-buff to counter condi reaper. Meanwhile condi reapers just don’t need to care about that combo. If it lands, they have a ridiculous burst – if not, they still have incredible sutained damage and cc.

25 bleeds is a fairly simple weapon swap and shroud flash combo combined with suffer. No ice field required. You can stack that many in under 2 seconds currently.

Make Reapers great again are you f1cking kidding me?
There is already kitten load of condi damage what Anet should kittening fix that kitten or atleast kitten erf it what they are failt the do cause they are good in destorying the game except the PVE.
Your reaper is already great…

Why enemy don’t just dodge those skills? Every class make huge dmg if you let them land all skills. Funny how players try to stack boons much as possible so they can win easily when they actually should try to make build that doesn’t give them any boons.

@Junkpile.7439, thats funny, ive been doing that on my Dh for quite some time, the only boon ive been trying to abuse is aegis and some minor healing from mace, shelter.
Still its is a very limited build since i refuse to be carried by traps so i play a bit botlenecked.

Hey, man! Your armor is pretty cool
