Reaper in pve?
For the ones who have had a chance to try out the reaper in the beta, how is it pve wise? Does it deal competitive damage? I guess it’s still far from ele/thief top dps, but I hope now it’s more comparable to warriors…. or is it still bottom dps and without any utilities whatsoever?
Im really looking forward to play the reaper in pve, I just hope it isn’t inferior to the current d/wh meta.
I toyed with the builder and came up with a build (link) which allows you to stack might like a warrior, vuln like a champion, and lets you sit at 100% crit. It’s aoe and mobs in pve will suck up all the hardcasts, so theoretically it should work. To which extent? I don’t know yet, but from the tooltip I can see that RS auto does 60% of GS auto, even tho it’s faster and got 100% chance to crit.
I’m just speculating atm, just dying to know if people will stop shunning necro for being useless and dealing bad dps and if RS finally brings AT LEAST competitive dps…. because well, I took a look at the skills, and necro still doesn’t add anything to the party. Just damage. Now I hope that damage is good enough to compensate the lack of support.
Thanks
Reaper is a PvE boss against PvE mobs. A reaper can solo just about all the stuff in Verdant Brink, as far as I’m aware. Champs, not as much (because those kitteners are tough) but you can hold out against waves of enemies pretty kitten well with all the AoE that Reaper brings and the inherent survivability of the class
