Guild Wars 2

I played both Beta Reaper and Revenant over the long weekend.
This review is focused on reaper but may reference Revenant

First being in reaper mode is awesome. Top to bottom. Your tanky powerful and dangerous which I can say it has been a while since I felt dangerous playing a necro.
My only change would be to make Reaper 5 skill a knockdown.

That being said getting to Reaper needs help.
The shout cast times are seriously tooo long. most should be instant or near instant.
Also the shout time reduction based on how many it hits is just tooo cutesies.
Make the change so that there is a flat 20% time reduction in their recharge.

Same with bonus damage per condition on you…can we just have something similar so that if a target is vulnerable we get a 5-7% damage bonus.

Next the Greatsword…..looks sexy as hell and feels mmmm ok in pve but is next to useless in pvp and wvw.

I think skill 1 needs to swing faster and all swings hit 180 degrees around the necro.
Skill 2 needs to hit much HARDER but on a longer cool down. By comparison to the Revenant hammer every skill when traited similarly hits twice as hard as the necro great sword which is much slower and has little range. I am begging please rework the greatsword to speed it up. The chill mechanic is great in pve but not good in pvp or pve

Great work but hope its not too late for some greatsword love
