Guild Wars 2

Man, this specialization is just amazing. I haven’t such fun playing a game in a long time. Everyday, everytime i play it i have fun in different ways.

PS.: kitten scrappers r too strong, i can’t beat them … one of them at least. hehe

I’d love it if I could play it. I need a solid 2 days of no real life commitments to unlock it. (Lawl like I’m gonna get that any time this year)

I expected the Reaper to become my new main and well he did. I have accumulated over 25 hours of playtime on the Reaper according to my birthday boosters. I’m not sure I could even pull of any meaningful rotations on my Necro anymore.

Reaper going strong for me, really enjoying it.

Love it for PvE, it’s so much fun to just thrown on spectral armor, go into reaper shroud, starting infusing terror, and go to town on the bosses and enemies that are doing their big damaging attacks while others are running away. I hardly ever die really, only times I have are when I’ve not paid attention to my life force levels.

WvW, I took it in fought an ele that would just keep running whenever she lost so much as a thimble of health. Think if I had the spec completed i could’ve beaten her though, still need time to master, probably take it into PvP now.

Reaper is everything I’ve wanted from the necromancer, it’s tanky, I can dive face first into most dangerous situations other classes would run from, and what I love most is saving downed teammates with Spin to Win Transfusion or Death’s Charging in to revive them and keep them alive through a big attack.

One of the coolest things with HoT for sure.

All of the reaper skills do such fat damage. I love it.

Reaper made me return to my long forgotten necro (which was my oldest character too). Now I only need to unlock the very last skill and she’s complete as a reaper, but the spec was enjoyable even as a char with one major and two minor traits on day one. It feels really fun and strong.

Loving reaper. Specially condi reaper

Been enjoying it, though after this round of midterms I need to go farm out some hero points I guess.

The hero point farm is a bish, specially when you can’t solo half of the hero points.

Definitely a PVE king for me now. The only HP champ I can’t solo with my reaper so far is the vampire champ.

Reaper is amazing. LOVE IT.

Yeah, now everyone is playing reaper. Before the expansion, we were a rare class, which was good, because I didn’t feel like a clone. Now, I look at the new content, and I see tons of necro/reapers running everywhere. YAY!

To be more serious, as a necro main I understand the hype. However, I don’t understand why the others specs are “ignored” compared to the reaper. The tempest for example, he’s amazingly strong and multitasking, able of incredible things, especially in a group.
I guess (and I hope) people will realize that the other profs are also really fun to play and capable of amazing results. I’m afraid we’ll be too much reapers for raids and on the other hand not enough of the other classes to have balanced and efficient raid groups.

@leinhart
I doubt what you describe is going to happen. I just had a terribly frustrating conversation with some “Meta Head” guildmates.
There is still a huge contingent of people in this game who, after all this time, still have no idea how the game works and who cling to the narrow strategy and party comp that we all know and love…
As an aside, is really a bad thing that our favorite class is getting some love and attention?
I love running around seeing all these “band wagon” reapers.
It’s like seeing someone wearing your favorite team’s jersey just because they won the championship. Sure, its a little disconcerting but it’s still my favorite team and i like seeing the jersey! lol

Reaper really is one of the best things about the expansion. Kudos to Robert Gee!

Did a temple run in Orr with Reaper and was startled by lower than normal champ credit; I.E., fewer coffers. I switched to a standard Necromancer power build and still had difficulty getting coffers. Reaper had only the first two minors and four majors. Armor was exotic zerker-scholar in both cases.

My guess is either other professions were doing more damage, or there was a bug / secret nerf in rewards. An Ele friend was having similar trouble but was not running Tempest.

The fact that people love the necromancer/reaper isn’t the problem actually. Of course I dont like the “clone effect” but mainly I don’t like when a class is a way more represented than many others because this difference shows a problem with the game balance.

I know this is just the beginning of the release, so people don’t know the full potential of every classes, still this point annoys me…

I’m absolutely in love with Reaper. I think they’ve done a great job with this spec. As for the Reaper population, I think the spec is pretty thematically attractive for an MMO, and it draws people to it.

Agreed^^
I feel like a harbinger of death when im smacking fools upside the dome with mah GRAAATESWORD!
