Personally I feel like necro has always been the strongest thing to play in pvp, out of all profession champ titles I got the champ phantom way faster than all the rest. And now with reaper being added and the last patch that buffed the heck out of it I don’t think anything can kill reaper in 1 vs 1 unless the reaper just isn’t that great at what he/she does. I’ve even seen reapers solo kill 2 people at a time.
Thing with reaper is that it hits everything around at once, so having two target is almost same as hitting one. Add to that they mostly start the fight well fed, having full lifeforce, which is a ridiculous advantage.
Besides few tricks like d/p thief short heartseeker+black powder combo, I think always the key is to do your best to read other player, and counter their skills using yours, which is very dependent on your and their build.
For example, in attacking clones or mesmer situation as you described, it is mostly not a good idea to hit them melee if they inflict conditions when they are destroyed. Or if you have endurance up and you are confident that you will dodge the shatter, you wouldn’t want to spend hard hitting skill cd on clone but use it on mesmer.
So for me it is always what you have vs what they have.
It is not that bad to lose that kind of a game, you can learn a lot from your teams mistakes and how full team plays.
following THE META takes you to heaven
we dont need warrior or thief any more pls delet war from PVP Anet.
I see exact opposite of that game too, necro party getting beaten by warrior party etc. This is just confirmation bias.
Finally, a nice thread! What counters reapers, any experience?
Hi, I haven’t played since we had only solo and team queue. These win rates seem really high comparing to before, are these what you achieve with your premade team?
