Hi everyone, I just recently returned from a brief hiatus and, purchasing Heart of Thorns, am really liking the reaper specialization. I am curious though, what are some of the current “recommended” builds? I’m currently running (from before HoT release) an exotic combo of berserker and carrion, with some vitality and toughness thrown in. I’m running Staff + scepter/x (mainly dagger) and have picked up some of the reaper shouts. I should probably say that, while I do dabble in wvw and pvp, I’m usually pve. Thank you for any insight you can give me, and happy gaming!
With your armor, you should be running dagger or greatsword. You have power as your primary stat. Work on getting enough hero points as fast as you can.
Reaper, Soul Reaping, and one other (Blood Magic for dagger travel bonus and small heals, Spite for power, or Death Magic for minions or toughness stacking) is your best bet.
Use shouts, Spectral skills, or signets for utility. Reaper supports greatsword and shouts. Soul Reaping supports staff and Spectral skills.
