Power Reapers as myself use the auto-spinal shivers in Spite yes but it strips boons not convert as ppl here said. no one uses Focus really so that spinal shivers is gone.
There are counters to Reapers as ppl aslo stated above, vs Condi Reapers there are perhaps fewer but Thief for sure.
Servant of Dhuum
I play Power Reaper hours every day and still refuse to go Condi (have bin there ofc) and the fact is if the players are equaly skilled a Condi should ALWAYS beat a Power, just by pure pressure. The Condi weapons are also stronger wich just adds to it, I actually think that the answer to level the two builds out is in the Weapons…
and thats why the Buff to Scepter just baffles me.
(but the slaughter of Mesmer, the buff to Thief dmg rather then utilites and the lack of fixes for Warrior just speaks volume of Anets failing balnce team atm)
Servant of Dhuum
Necro has never bin in a good position, tho they may gonna abit overboard on Corrupts Necro/Reaper deserve some time in Meta. And u can counter a Reaper.
Servant of Dhuum
How is Ele gonna beat Reaper ?: Well maybe try and buckle down and actually practice and improve. We were forced to, first time ever in 3y that Necro steps up to the Meta where btw your fcng class bin since launch.
Servant of Dhuum
I run basically all the stuff that did’t get touched. Blood/Death/Reaper (occasionally Blood/Soul/Reaper) with GS and axe/dagger or GS and staff. So yes, this does literally nothing.
But those were already pretty strong??? Not sure what changes you were looking for?
GS and Axe strong ? compared to what the recently buffed Scepter? that is clearly the strongest Nec weapon by far
Servant of Dhuum
- Necromancer : well, Necro was already very strong in the meta
lol, wasnt even part of it but will be now
Servant of Dhuum
I main Reaper and u buffed it with tons of Corruption, imho way to much. Another lazy balance change when u buff the Scepter and Condi Necro the things we didnt need a buff to.
Power Necro needed abuff and Weapons like Axe,GS and Focus are the ones not used and u buff Condi + Scepter ? really lazy and bad.
Like the Alacrity nerf to Mesmer, when u just could have nerfed the “shareing” u nerfed a entire class into oblivion also so incredibly lazy and bad. Look to other games for balnce cause u atm cant handle balance between PvE – PvP -WvW
U need to really buff things that arent being used not buff them and tbh u just funnel classes into areas where ppl are forced to play your way. Fine bunker Meta was boring but a Meta where u kill certain classes and then still ask ppl to play them isnt working.
Tnx
not like u listen and care
Servant of Dhuum
no buffs to GS,Focus or Axe
That was somewhat to be expected since non of those weapons were mentioned in their preview last week. But it’s still disappointing seeing how those weapons probably needed more attention than scepter/dagger.
yea I like Anets reasoning “lets Buff the one weapon thats already OP” Corruption on Scepter
Servant of Dhuum
My Spite Reaper totally un-changed by this, gotta laugh at the Condi-love yet again.
changed the Spite Gm trait no1 use, no buffs to GS,Focus or Axe not even alterations basicly pushing all to be Condi-corrupers now meh not for me
Servant of Dhuum
no chnage to GS and only Buffs to Condi Necs, lol
Servant of Dhuum
Nice Vid Donee, and well NO Iam not excited by the 2 changes we seen since they dont effect my Power playstyle at all but hopefully us Power Reapers get something aswell.

yea but thats most likely everything but the Balance Notes since they where adressed last Friday, however Iam intresting in the FULL notes for every class since as I said we only got a small taste. I really would like em on paper pre-weekend & I think iam not alone.
Servant of Dhuum
Or are u holding those until after u release the Patch on Tuesday ? I guess u are scared and concerned about the reactions but tbh your hanges are already done so why cant we get the Weekend to go thro them Anet.
Since u clearly said last Friday u only were going thro a few of the changes/class we all know there is quite abit more.
Tnx

The Plague Signet tho has a annoying effect when roaming so Id say Shouts.
Servant of Dhuum
yea Reapers is in a good place, Condi Reapers are borderline OP if the game where balanced around 1v1 VERY OP (but it aint) and Reapers still lack boon-shareing and we dont have any gimmick uses like Mes Portal. Still I think Reapers are in a good space but:
Anet still need to buff/adress Power weapons
Axe need rework
GS needs faster AA and maybe even gravedigger
Focus needs some love aswell
ps: there are ppl who really hates this Condi kittene give us some love
Servant of Dhuum
Going from haveing 1 Necro/Reaper in the top 8 teams in EU to actually be “the Meta” is a huge step and control your hype ppl. There are several things needs to be adressed and mainly “The Power Weapons” are weak: GS,Axe,Focus (ps:idc if GS is good in PvE,real targets move)
But also from what I understood Shroud 1 now pierces on baseline so thats meens atleast 1 NEW trait we get then and thats intresting or atleast some change to it.
I honestly dont think we get a new trait. They will just keep it at DS 1 causes vuln.
seems very meh then and not really a challenge to Unblockable Marks

Yea thats it for me. Off to a game that focus and support us WvW players. If u said Jan26 WvW gets it overhaul maybe u save some now u just KILLED it…

Hope u speed up Reaper GS cast times or it will still be a useless Weapon, u gave us kittene in HoT after months of hope.
You’re missing out if you think GS is useless.
Iam not talking about hitting a stationary NPC target here. Dont give a kitten about PvE but Reaper GS is useless in WvW and PvP and u see almost none useing it, as an effect u see almsot NO Necro/Reaper going Power these days cause Condi dominates this class and GS was the hope for us Power Necs.
Necro unkillable ? thats the biggest laugh Iv had in a long time. I saw 1 Necro in League yesterday Posi… one
pooor reaper cant hit with gs… welcome to warrior’s world and have fun while been outkited. Oh no, i should tell something that all those skilled necro have been saying to me in these years of kiting: l2p.
pathetic attempt to trash, and dont even compare the GS of those classes nab

nah sry Reaper isnt close to perfect with such a poor weapon as GS and I feel let down.
GS isn’t an universally bad weapon, though. It needs adjustments for PvP, yes, but in PvE it works well.
in PvP and WvW its really really bad, only reason it works in PvE is cause NPC’s just take it and its high dmg. When u actually trying to hit something that reacts its useless. And if its not at all used in 2/3 game-modes it must be considered a failure, atm its place on the low shelf together with Axe… atm I get more use out of my Spear kitten

Look at Reaper GS plz, or PowerNecro will never be viable neither in WvW or sPvP.
Servant of Dhuum
Dmg is fine but when it dosent land the GS AA overall is kittene and I dont care kitten all about PvE I want to hit players not a kitten NPC
Servant of Dhuum
Iam only looking for 1 thing to keep me playing this first Quarter: Improve GS specially cast-time of AA

Servant of Dhuum
I only really like 2 Shouts: Rise (DH killer) and the Elite (I prefer this over any other atm)
On the GS: I run it atm and it makes me weaker most likely, just I really do enjoy it when it lands. Its the feeling I get when I 1-shot a Thief or Ele that keep me grasping the GS. You can report me cause I agree that the AA alone should make any PvP/WvW Reaper toss it in the lake… ooh when it lands.
ps: the Xtra Vitality from Marauder does help us, if not for defence then for the LF Bar but choice is yours. I even run 2 Knights rings

I love that January soon here and still we see the Champ Lords walking outside the Keep Walls in PvE that would be like seeing the Vale Guardian walking around in Verdant Brink.

Very Nice vid Hollts, some Power vidz are always fun to see. I run very similar to you except I still hold on to the GS.
Servant of Dhuum
Rise is futile vs Thieves and Mesmers but very good vs the rest of the Classes, any type of Chill is also futile vs Thieves but Rise is DH killer due to it sets of there Traps and they way most DH runs Rise takes away 75% of there dps and I like who clueless they become waiting for there traps to get off cd. Hence why I prefer it to Sw tho I miss the jukes
Servant of Dhuum
Yea Iam more into Power Necro/Reaper aswell since thats all I play after the “Terrormancer era” and Condi is stronger no doubt, Id say its the case for 7 out of 9 Classes atm. Still I do appreciate a good Vid no matter what Specc and Iv always enjoyed Donee’s Vid and ofc Hollts Power Vidz.
Power Reaper has some very bad MU’s when u roam atm. Hammer Rev, Daredevil’s specially when they get they can just out dps u from Range and all types of Eles/Tempest are imho really bad MU. DH is suprisingly easy if u just slot Rise tho.
Servant of Dhuum
Whenever a Hammer Rev dies the world gets a little bit better. Nice to see your Vidz again Donee. Wanna see some more of Hollts aswell

to OP, in any PvP/WvW situation it still sux
Servant of Dhuum
get over the past now, Gw1 has had its time soon Gw2 aswell, I know I wont see the next Expansion tho I enjoyed Reaper that came with this, to many stuff mainly in WvW wont keep me around to see next Expansion but I dont regret HoT cause I liked the Reaper Elite.
Servant of Dhuum
Dont think Necro/Reaper needs a buff either but some of our Weapons do, we got a Weapon in HoT that everyone looked forward to but due to cast-times no1 uses outside PvE cause u cant hit anything…
GS needs buff for sure (the AA is a joke, really Devs wtf did u test internally ? hitting afk Anet personal)
Servant of Dhuum
I like these added changes so I give Anet credit for that but:
PPK should bin there from start and its just mindblowing that it hasnt, when it is in PvP and if u look at old games with WvW it was a factor. Killing enemies should ALWAYS bin high priority and ofc rewarded as such. A Kill-Log Boook (like Dammaz Kron for WaR) is something Gw2 missed out on badly.
Oasis & Rock-Wall-Maze was an extremely bad idea and even worse in execution… the added Stealth-Mist isnt makeing it better either and the whole area surrounding the Oasis is what confuses ppl and throw them in a maze that most Guilds actually avoid NOT use. Its something that highly contributes to the hate towards the new borders and CLEARLY no communication has ever bin had with WvW community pre-hot regarding this.
I like the NPC scouts tagging ppl but it also took away something from the WvW community, alot of ppl find it enjoyable to scout for there side and thats hardly there now.
Collision detection should have bin part of the game, sry but running thro enemies arent as fun as acually haveing collisions. This is miss alot.
Changes aside its just a little to late atm, most I know gave up long time ago and Iam here still due to 1 thing only: the combat is really really good and fun. But even this wont keep me past CU Beta stage2 where I will leave this game for good so cant say that any changes u do now will make any diffrence to me and well my old friends and WvW Guildies have already left and started up in CU… same goes for basicly any big Guild that ever where a vital part of WvW in Gw2.
There we will get the focus we want and crave and all tho we still dont know how it will turn out I doubt any will return to this sinking ship. The changes u are makeing now is done for a community that has moved on already… they got tired of not being heard.
