Open world reaper build??
It’s not a open world build, it’s a raid and high level fractal build. It needs time to ramp up the damage from the conditions. It’s going to take longer than a pure power Reaper to kill things because you are relying on second by second damage to add up over time.
Almost always when people discuss builds, it’s for one of the following categories: Fractals, Raids, PvP or WvW. Only very rarely are open world builds discussed. This is because in general anything can be ‘useful enough’ in the open world. Of course there are builds which kill enemies faster or move through the world faster in the open world and some people optimize for that, but there is little need to squeeze out as much damage or survibility or what have you as possible. This is why a website such as MetaBattle only has PvP, WvW, Fractals and Raids as its build categories.
This is what I’ve personally been using for open world. I tend to adjust a little based on what I am trying to achieve, but this seems to give me good mobility, dmg, and durability. I wish I could ditch locust, but that movement is so clutch :<

This is based on power valk btw. I’d love to see some condi builds.
Try this for open world solo roaming.
Substitute this for some champ events.
