Hello my name is Rex and I adore the reaper so I will be putting up a how to burst as well as a link to the build firstly the build,
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNBhWD7kZTzmUbj1G7tRuJmbq2E6N93YxawkCAhsSW8GMEmCpCBxgJFA-T1SBABQqE0gDCA1KNa+IAwlysIeAASreAS7PgnuHMVxBgLAQAgDgxHPQ+xnf8zP/8jP+4N/4jP/8jXKA/UGB-w
Be aware of you’re weapons, use you’re offhand for a daze and the locust swarm you’re main hand on you’re offset doesn’t actually madder,
to burst with you’re greatsword it depends on range, if they’re closing a gap throw a fear wall chill shout and if they run over the wall than elite and precast you’re greatsword four, than cast you’re five for a pull over use you’re three to stack vulnerability than you’re gravedigger which will life siphon from the nightfall aoe, this will hit them vary hard if everything hits usually at least half of they’re health even if they’re tanky if they’re squashy they’re either dead or dieing from condi’s, if they survive burst in shroud,
use you’re 5 to CC than you’re four to land a combo over the field throwing out chill as well as poison,
which ramps you’re life force and impairs they’re movement,
then you’ll press you’re two as they’re most likely panicking or running than auto which stacks might, decide to use you’re shroud 3 if you think the target will die in the first two bursts if they do you can use it before incase they CC while panicking,
if not than you can save it if they’re heavy on pulls and knock downs etc or the stomp which I normally do.

Once I down someone it ends in either two actually three ways if you still have a full lifeforce bar you can use you’re 3 for stability and stomp, but if it’s low you want to hop out and cleave with chill to ramp life force, than shroud 3 and finish the stomp.

can you separate this wall of text and write your rotation?

IE
out of RS with greatsword

Shout 3—>fear—→GS 5—>GS3 etc

thanks

How do you deal with/clear conditions? Just the single 30sec shout, which you have to hit your opponent to transfer doesn’t seem enough against any condi build. A lot of the condi builds stealth/reposition after their burst, not easy to hit to remove those cancer stacks.

You are immune too conditions basically while in shroud, and that skill cleanses cool downs I also swap utility’s depending on the situation btw this build can be flexible.
I said stealth <_< I edited it sorry I responded so late too xP I don’t go on the forums often I went on because some guys thought that I wasn’t the original person too make this build xP.

While not running Deathly Chill I’m pretty sure you’d deal more damage just running full zerk in all honesty. For a full GS combo with every skill landing taking your foe only to half, you’re better off in zerk gear, seeing as Death’s Charge itself will often already do that. Gravedigger hitting a squishy target will likely just outright kill them, as per what happened to this ele.

I understand English may not be your first language, but outside of the fact that your grammar made this difficult to fully understand, not only is the concept of a “burst rotation” usually too situational, but you’re trying to show a rotation using a suboptimal build that sees no play. Is it wrong to see or play a build that it “different”? Not at all, however, you shouldn’t use it to show other people how to follow appropriate decision trees. This is pretty much exemplified by the fact that a number of your statements rely on “if” rather than “when”, for example your opponent running into your Spectral Wall.

I find the best way to explain burst rotations to people is in retrospect. Most individuals know which abilities do damage, so the best way to explain burst isn’t in how you would burst a target, but rather in why you chose to burst a target in the way you did. It’s better to understand the thought process and decision making that went into ability usage.
