Guild Wars 2

I rly love my reaper, and the traids the spec provides, but some just feel underwelming.
the biggest disapointment for me is Soul eater. while the beta version gave you LS on hit with GS the heal now only applys to grave digger.
my suggestion is to reverse the change, turning it into a traid woth picking

Kind of agree. Gee seemed set to having something tied to Gravedigger. Personally, I would have liked a mix between beta and current Soul Eater trait, where the life leech was less but applied to all GS skills and the recharge reduction remained 20% without any gimmicks.

GS3 could become a decent heal skill with that, which it could use with how low it hits.

i playa full LS build and more healing is always welcome, but eventho i love reaper and the GS LS works best with fast hits, and so i rarely use it, reworking this traid could chance that

I’d like it if soul eater just caused your gravedigger to have 50% reduced cast time for a few seconds after attacking something under 50% hp with your GS. On an 8 second CD, just to start you off without that hopeless pit in your stomach as the gravedigger animation winds up on something that’s about to die…. and that’s not even considering PvP where you’ll literally never hit anything other than a bot, complete idiot, or downed enemy. Ofcourse that’s in addition to the current siphon on it, which imo is fine if a little lackluster (not that it isn’t made up for with the potential to do area damage).

Superior Sigil of Speed/Agility helps immensely for connecting Gravediggers in spvp.

This.

I proposed that in the reaper topic back in the beta weekends, but sadly it wasnt changed…

Just have the trait make gravedigger heal you for whatever damage it does, then it’ll actually be viable to cleave downed bodies or jump directly in the center of a fight.

Did I mention I don’t give a kitten about PvE?

The lifesteal is pathetic. It was pathetic in beta and now it’s worse.

However, the Recharge reduction is good & technically this trait is best in slot for DPS.

would be better if the trait apply life leach on every gs hit + reduction to all gs skills or cast times
edit: or make the life leach affect all your attacks even in ds

The lifesteal on every hit of the GS was actually not awful with Death Spiral, just… everything else And that was when the CDR was still tied to Gravedigger, which was the worse side of the trait.
