Power or Condi or Cele for GS/Shout?
Impossible to know until it is finished with no more balance tweaks imminent, and would also highly depend on build. Reaper synergizes with so many different spec combos you can’t just say one is the best.
As it focuses on chill/vulnerability , I think that zerker with conditon duration stats will be the best build.
guard ,nades eng ,Trap thief \ranger ,signet\shout warrior, zerk mes\ele & shiro rev.
I think reaper can have various play styles, and so it comes down to do you want a power build? Do you want a condi build?
If you want a power build, you could probably hit 80% crit chance without any stats at all, so you could run Valkyrie. Zerker would almost garuntee you 100% crit chance at all times. (Neither of these takes that 50% extra crit chance in DS skill either…just burst max vuln and go to town).
Mostly tank and power builds but since we get chill that damages (and scales with condition damage) condition builds could also take it, though i doubt they will be using GS.
though i doubt they will be using GS.
Maybe as a defensive siphon/conditon build? greatsword autoattack does condition damage damage, it has poison on #5, and 4 can be traited for extra chill. #2 can be used for cooldown reduction and #3 for extra siphons. Wells can be used for extra conditions, siphons and chill with whirl finisher. Chilling darkness is a must though.
There will be prefer if there is a power/ferocity/condition damage set armour and weapon
zerk, valk or cavalier for power thats for sure.

I honest like a lot of people have said already until we get the definitive product we cant say, but quote me on this- the obvious builds we see are good. It’s those funky combinations with runes that’re going to take Reaper to a new level.
