I’ve been having a lot of fun in both hotjoin and sPVP with this.

I love this build because I always like to think that the best defense is a good offense.

-The constant condition pressure allows for very heavy dps; no matter how many cleanses or transfers they have, you’ll always have more tansfers and condis to counter.
-the viper amulet allows not only for condition DPS with very high condition duration (coupled with runes of the nightmare), but heavy direct dps with a lot of crit thanks to its stats coupled with Decimated Defense trait
-the various shouts allow for great sustain, in my personal opinion, “Rise” is a godsend to the reaper.
-“Chilled to the Bone” and Reaper skill 3 allow for very high stability uptime, giving you plenty of time to transfer conditions and apply more to others.
-Spite grandmaster traits allow for a lot of variability: for signets to still be traited, or to let reaper cast unholy feast, corrupting one condition to all within a 600 radius, along with gaining retal and applying cripple, or just a straight +20% damage boost to all foes under 50% health. possibilities are endless when you have both high direct damage and high condition damage.
-condition transfer is very prominent in this build thanks to dagger 4, staff 4, and plague signet.

This build easily outdps-es 2v1s and provides a lot of pressure in teamfights, no matter what range.

let me know what you think!

Well I don’t want to be mean, but this is barely a variant of the frostfire meta build. And one of the main differences is that you don’t use the signet trait which is a weird decision, especially since you do have signets. then you use off-hand dagger instead of warhorn, and the shout heal instead of signet, which is are both acceptable decisions.

my apologies, i haven’t really looked up the builds of the ‘current metas,’ and this is more or less what i came up with on my own from the signet corruptionmancer build, and I don’t really feel the need to trait signets as i don’t usually proc anything other than plague to transfer conditions, and i’ve got corruption on the dagger and area corruption if i trait reaper to use unholy feast.

I see a lot of peoplee running viper but I feel necros/reapers are gimping themselves without Merc Amulet. “A best defense is a good offense” is a notion I agree wiht, however, necro manacers just scale so kitten well with toughness/vitality combo with their two lifebars. I coudl definitely be wrong and it turns out Viper becomes meta but I tihnk Merc is the way to go
