Why would you want to build a support Reaper in the current state of the game?
Reaper spec will be Power based in the new expansion and Scourge will be the condition/support spec.
Reaper offers hardly any decent team support and yo will not be allowed in raids as a support Necro. There are classes currently offering much better support then what Necro can bring.

For fractals: just stick with the hybrid Reaper for now.. It’s perfectly capable of handling fractals. No need to kitten yourself.

Someone said Scourge is supporty. :/ pff.

Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.

With those 3 trait line you can do a better job as a power reaper.

Well, I was thinking of running this with a noob team/pug, where I can make use of the passive heals/leeches + 120s cooldown revive.

A tanky Dark paladin.

Damage source can either be power or condi. Either stats will boost this build’s bleeds/poison. It’s up to my limited resources. lol

But disregarding my damage output, the idea is trying to keep the party alive.

Traiting vampiric rituals for a mix of signets + wells.

You can try using this power or condition version.
With Transfusion the Signet of Undeath isn’t really needed and having to trait spite only for reducing it’s cooldown is a waste..

Best ANet joke ever XD

About the Signet buff, it’s good Only in PvE where you face mobs and boss that you can hit easly and that have a specific damage output.
In any PvP area that change of Plague Signet just make you die easly because while in Shroud you don’t have any defensive skill to clean conditions (not in a good build)

Anyway, the necromancer is unwanted beause we don’t inflict enough damage and other classes can corrupt boons and do better damage. There’s also other classes that grant a better support and condi clean while able to inflict more damage than us, then there’s no need to have a necromancer that do that.

We can only hope in a huge buff for the PvE area that grant to the Scourge a spot in raids as a real support.

Why just the scourge ? Let’s hope for the necromancer as a whole, hope is cheap (as long as it’s not legendary).

Barriers will be support-ish in a lame, Necro way but the portal, burn bursts, and corruptions will be more important provided they are not nerfed.
