As we are going into beta weekend tomorrow and getting some videos of what the reaper currently looks like from Gamecom I wanted to see what everyone thinks of the damage being output by the reapers great sword.
From what I can gather the greatsword was meant to be a slow hitting melee weapon with high damaging returns which looked really exciting, especially when considering necromancers current position on dps (being low-mediocre).
But from what I’ve watched it looks a little low when used on the target dummies and low when in spvp (although we cannot see what gear the enemy team is using). So far it looks like the auto attack from the greatsword will be left in the dust of daggers autoattack and with the addition of a icd and current damage of gravedigger I don’t see it being an amazing weapon in either pve or pvp.
Obliviously once we get our hands on it this weekend we’ll have a better look at it but I just wanted to start up a conversation so we can make sure the dev’s see our/(my :P) concerns.
