Finally roused myself to go back into the HoT maps and finish unlocking Reaper and I have to say the Greatsword skills are tremendous fun. Been running with minions and axe + focus and its just a burly ‘get in there and crush them while laughing maniacally’ experience clearing camps in WvW.

At some point I may even try out shouts .

Not sure how good they’ll be in WvW but I found myself surprised at how good shouts were in PVE. “Rise!” in particular can make you nigh unstoppable when fighting enough enemies.

I don’t have opinions. I only have facts I can’t adequately prove.

Shouts in PvE and WvW are so freaking good….like you can be a more offensive based shout warrior with the amount of soft CC control you have at your disposal.

Yup. I normally go for Suffer!, YAAW, and Rise!, with the flesh golem, Dagger/Focus, and Staff or GS. You go in as walking carnage incarnate.

Reaper’s the reason I bought HoT.

The class has not disappointed. The rest of them and the actual content of HoT have, though.

It’s extremely fun to play. Base necromancer was way too slow for me, but the reaper’s a blast with its higher pace. I know I’m in the minority, but I particularly like Reaper’s Onslaught and the constant movement resetting on kills.

I was in Orr and picked a fight with the Giant Champion – the one that throws out worms by the billion, and another necro joined me – we killed it with just two of us. It took what seemed forever, but eventually he ran out of worms and we kicked his hiney.

Reaper is fun yes. The only worthy thing to come with HoT imo. 90 euroes for a a new spec of an existing class.. guess who wont be spending money on GW2 anymore

It really is the only thing I’m enjoying in the expansion. Total fun and although it takes a little more time to take some things down it just is a lot more engaging to fight with the Reaper, I’ve barely touched any other profession.

Vini, Vidi, Vici, Viridis…I came, I saw, I conquered…I got a green??

Loving the reaper in all game modes. Very powerful, good self stab & mobility, and it offers a very engaging gameplay compared to necros. Signet reapers are also a lot more fun to play than baseline signet necros thanks to reaper shroud.

I’m getting a tad worried now however as in PvP, double condi rev & bunker mesmer meta is slowly pushing reapers out of the comps. Robert Gee, please look into boosting reapers as I’m sure you can see how reapers are fading out in the high end PvP scene.

Easily the best Elite for me, other than Glint (i love playing buff support) but it fels bundled with the new class… anyway, heaps of fun playing Reaper, one reason being that it’s a cloth-swathed character wielding a greatsword in melee and relying on magic for defense. I love breaking silly conventions against such.

Rolled my first Necro in 2 years last week, specced Reaper and now I’m already maining him. I haven’t had this much fun with a class in a long time. Reaper4Life!

I’m told Reaper feels a little bit like Death Knight from WoW and Dark Knight from FFXIV, but to me it mostly feels like they “Fixed” shroud to be what I’d always envisioned it to be in my head.

I still especially love Blighter’s/Chilling Victory builds, just for the way they give a symbiotic vibe to the interaction between shroud and normal mode. The healing is really noticeable in shroud now, and you can build up life energy so darn fast with the greatsword, staff, and shouts that there are times in big PvE events when my shroud has gone from zero to full before my reduced recharge time has come back (bless GS 3, GS 4, GS 2, and a full spam of shouts on the right side of the bar. Bless them).

Reaper is great. Shouts are really good too.

Do not allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

Yea, reaper can be unstoppable if you know how to keep up pressure on the tank meta. I wouldn’t use shouts personally, but I know a few builds that use them well.
