Spectral Bunker Reaper?
You need vital persistence on every single necro build to have some grain of sustain. Meaning spectral bunker is non viable.

This just isn’t true at all. The significant increase in Life Force generation from a Spectral Bunker build more than makes up for the lack of Vital Persistence.
As for Spectral Bunker Reaper, still toying with it but an issue is automatically being locked into Soul Reaping and Reaper traitlines, where as a base Necro you have much more flexibility with your traits.
Has anyone tried this, and if so, what was your build and what were the results?
I feel like I didn’t do so well with it when I tried it in a few matches, but that could be due to any number of reasons, including but not limited to: I’m not the best PvPer, I’m not the best at making builds, and I might have had some weird lag/control issues.
It was the primary thing I played so far in the beta. One of two things happens: either you get on someone with Reaper’s Shroud and they aren’t able to get away, or you get kited. The big thing is RS is your main damage, if you get and stay on someone, or god forbid multiple people, they will all die, and do so very quickly. It wasn’t uncommon for me to down someone and then kill 3 people when that person’s teammates tried to res. However, it is extremely easy to kite, and so works much better in teamfights than 1v1s, yet in teamfights you are squishy.
It isn’t bad, but it still has some of the issues base Necro does which hold it back defensively. Offensively it is extremely strong if you can get on an enemy.
