MELEE REAPER:

Stats: gear(exotic for now) – berserk
Rings (asc) – berserk
Amulet (asc) – commander

Rune set: Scholar

Soul reaping – Unyielding blast – vital persistence – death perception

Reaper – Relentless pursuit – Decimate defenses – blighter’s boon.

Greatsword:

(group):Chilled to the bone! 1 (complete), 3 then 2
(solo): Chilled to the bone! 4, 3, 2 then 1 (complete or untill 3 recharges then 2 agan) just spam 3 and 2 combo when possible.

Reaper rotation: (this is for solo, for group just take 4 out of the rotation)

As soon as you hit max life force switch to reaper:
Simply spam 1 untill you’re only getting crits then 5, 4, 2 and keep spamming 1 untill 2 or 5 are free. When you get to about 25% LF switch back to normal and spam staff marks and GS 4,3 then 2. When you get your LF back up switch to reaper and start again.

staff: I only use it if I need to scape, cc or in ripper rotation.

Scape:
Run spam staff 5, dodge then 4 run, turn reaper hit 2 turn staff before it ends, dodge and keep running.

CC: start with staff 2 then 5 and 4 – 3 if you need condi removal. Spam 2 when possible inside the melee.

Brief explanation: This build revolves around the idea of 100% crit chance and +200 crit damange.

With this you should have around 2.5k strengh, 2.2k – 2.4k armor +34% crit change and +200% crit damange.

Crit chance: 34% base + death perception (reaper form) 50%= 84% + a few vulneravility stacks from Decimate defenses and you hit 100%.

Why I took “blighter’s boon” instead of the others?

It works better for me: recharges your hp when in reaper and I spend most of the combat on reaper form. Also scholar gives +10% extra damange when above 90% health.

With this build you can basicaly ignore anyone’s defenses when solo take on bosses on your own and help to keep up with the group’s DPS with vulneravility stacks and chills. And it’s just cool to watch somebody’s hp melt like butter :P

Cheers!
