Guild Wars 2

Hey devils. I fought a few daredevils in the mid of the video here with my reaper. Was wondering if i did the fights well and if there was anything i could have done better. Thx in advance!

DareDevil should keep flank and stealth burst run when facing a reaper
daredevils on your videos are kitten.
good thief will shadowstep out until you out of shroud and don’t give you chance to regain lifeforce

thx for your views!
your comments make me feel like Reapers shouldn’t be able to win against good Daredevils though XD
actually sometimes I feel that way too. It is so hard to win against a devil as a Reaper.
maybe I’m too sensitive

I’ve no idea what those guys were doing, but they didn’t really do a good job at interrupting your tells and kiting away from your Shroud.

Anyhow, you won the fights so you did well.
Against better Daredevils/Thieves, try to bait out the stunbreakers without wasting too many of your own cooldowns. Notable one to look for is Shadowstep. You can usually bait this out by applying a lot of condi’s as this tends to get most thieves to be a bit jumpy (even if they don’t really hurt… It’s instinct, I supose).
If you think you baited the stunbreaks, use your staff #5 and/or Shroud#3 to fear the Thief. Fear is pretty much our worst enemy and the tells on these skills aren’t as big as the one on Chilled to the Bone so they won’t just blind/interrupt/evade these. If you can impact a Thief’s mobility and/or stealth, you’ll break them.

So yeah, try to bait out stunbreaks and evades etc. You can also look for certain bits of terrain to stand on so that a Thief can’t shadowstep towards you.

EDIT:
In reply to what you just posted… In a fight between an equally skilled Reaper and Daredevil, the Reaper will win. The fact that you run power gives the Thief slightly more breathing room, but you really should be able to win these fights (especially if you start with a lot of Shroud available).

Oh, also… Weakness! You quite often use your Staff #4 at seemingly random moments. Try to use it to either transfer condi’s, or use it to blast the Poison Field from Staff#3 to apply AoE weakness. Any class that relies on physical burst hates having Weakness.

I noticed you always show the fights where you have full LF

Thanks for the advices!

I fought a few more DDs in this video at the 4 min 45sec mark and at the end.
Did I do better – are there still things I could have improved on for those fights?

reaper has no chance vs staff thief but dp is another story. if u get lucky to avoid steal and burst u win

this video should be called " this is why thief should not fight nerco in reaper form" LOL you just wait it out in WvW no rush punish it lol.

honestly after thief engage you after 1 hit should of just ran away trait swap spam head shot on you.

This is true. Unless you are fighting a condi reaper.
condi reapers have a good chance to kill most kiters still.

I rarely see staff thieves roaming in WvW. Have not fought one on my power reaper unfortunately.
