Greatsword
Skill 1, Auto’s are good the 170 range helps kite which compliments how slow they are, 3rd attack animation is gorgeous as well.
Skill 2, gravedigger is brilliant the reset makes up for the long cast time, plus being able to move while casting is exceedingly useful.
Skill 3, damage is nice, animation is nice, life force makes up for 1 and 2 not generating any.
skill 4, good good radius could be bigger, considering our autos are 170 and we kite a lot.
Skill 5, meh the hit box is rather small and tends not to work a lot (beta ik) the skill itself is useless most of the time and the life force generation on this skill is important. The fact i can miss or not get all 5 targets is a bit rubbish. (i can understand it might be a skill based thing but it just doesn’t need to be)

Reaper’s Shroud
Well the **** done its amazing, some people think death’s charge should be target based IT SHOULDN’T XD.
BUG* On skill 5 the animation when attacking large monsters can sometimes be HUGE! XD (ty its fun)

Shouts
Heal “your soul is mine” it either needs to be instant cast or heal a lot more the life force generation is great but as a heal skill it sucks, I’m just not using it for the heal.
“you are all weaklings” burst class getting 20 stacks of might means its a brilliant skill 10/10
“suffer” its situational and just all around boring, other skills already do what it does but better.
“Nothing can save you” same as suffer its situational (meaning useless most of the time) and just as boring as suffer. (why would i take suffer and NCSY over other utility’s)
“Rise” hahahaha really! so they ran out of ideas Ok.
“Chilled to the bone” This surprised me it goes with the specialization very well, Only thing it needs is a Stun duration increase just because Ice Bow 5 is 5 seconds, yes this is 5 targets but this is an Ultimate. (plus you get two ice bows on cast = 10 seconds of stun, it just out classes this), (doesn’t feel like an ultimate move at all because i don’t need to save it, i just use it whenever its up, the trait to decrease the cd is nice though)

Overall i love it shouts being meh aside since gw2 has loads of useless utility’s i don’t mind having more.
As a class it plays well and is awesome to play.
Only 2 things i would really want changing are heal skill needs to heal more or be instant (why not both XD). ult’s stun needs to be longer.

Good Job Anet! XD p.s tiny thing, scythe blade is a tiny bit harder to see than id like.
