GS Reaper useless in WvW zergs ?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Ravezaar.4951

Ravezaar.4951

I think GS is a great PvP weapon… but its situational. Imho its use is on points fighting vsX players not in 1v1’s when your enemy can see your animations and focus is on you. But for a on point Weapon its even better then Staff, Gravediggers the 1 player will see and dodge the 2 next to him may miss and get hit by… this is a fact that happens and will continue to do so.

Dont judge the slow cast-times and visual animations on 1v1 encounters vs Good players only, thats a mistake. Also want to add that Nightfall on point is one of the best defensive skills/tool we have it covers the whole point basicly and works like a WoD and imho is very underapriechiated.

Reaper Changes for BWE3

Man, Robert Gee is really doing a great job on Reaper. He is the one dev that is actually listening to the community. The changes on CttB are everything what we asked for. Pretty reasonable.
Now the only change is missing is CttB work underwater. We don’t want to always use plague underwater, CttB could have some nice use and fits the thematic, since you can think as “freezing the water”.

Good job, man!

I agree finally a Dev that listens, feels the room and adapts. Still think 90s on CttB is abit high and we lost a few seconds of Chill (wich Im fine with) I know that with AoD trait we can get it lower but I also think of 1v1 situation wich basicly still renders that AoD trait almost useless. I like the changes and our Feedback is recieved and pu to test, some Feedback we give would make reaper to strong so I get there attitude to not adressing GS cast-times, however after ppl learn animations this will make GS skill even harder to land and the high Dmg aside a challenging Weapon.

RIP Demon Lord Mallyx

In some situations this is a Buff in most situation its a Nerf to the whole Mallyx. But its now a completely new Hero Stance, basicly a total change in Mechanic and the sad part it was 1 of the few Stances if not the only one that made Revenant unque…

The displacement changes tho made due to bugs, were a unique Rev experience that actually made it annoying to other classes and therefor fun. Removeing this completely is more hurtfull to the class then say Self-Conditions.

Displacement was Revenant imho, and this is shameful cause u had so many many months to test this and to get it right but 5weeks pre-launch u deside “lets remove the mechanic” and u sadly removed a big chunk of the Revenant by doing so.

The self-condi stuff I can understand, Gw2 is an MMO and grouping is a part of the game hence AoE cleanses totally mess up this mechanic abit strange tho that u still DONT remove this from Necros Corruption skills ?

GS Reaper useless in WvW zergs ?

Yea setup with Nightfall followed by Grasping Darness works great for large scale WvW fight. Also useing Gravedigger as a finisher after exiting say Reaper Shroud in areas around enmies is working very well with the 5-man cleave.

I think the biggest stigma u have to let go off is that “u have to land every action”…

If u miss a Gravedigger its there just a few seconds later and the reward is when u land it on a few unlucky ppl it can down them. I have a vid on a Guild raid in WvW when I use Gravedigger and hit 5 targets form between 9k to 12k+ so it can be done.

Is it as usefull in WvW large scale as Staff ? no its not but it on the same level as the rest of the Weapons and with some practice due to its Cleave can be better then them.

I went Staff/GS and will continue down that road atleast, so did most of my Guldies

How I see this:

no Dmg Nerfs
Gravedigger got slightly better (Life Steal)
CttB got shorter CD
Shorter CD on my Favourite Shout, NcSY
Like me they consider Blighters Boon balanced
Buff to Chilling Nova
———————-

Soul Eater sry still not attractive choice
Still to weak Heal compared tp Consume Conditions
Suffer is still underwhelming


And Grasping Darkness seems to be as much a mystery to Devs as it is to us

I like most of it tho

Necro needed boost to Power Speccs, Condi was dominateing everything we did for basicly 3y except Large Scale WvW and well none of the necros were really high up in Pve like Dungeons & Fractals. Did I find it wierd that GS is basicly all Power based ? Yea kinda. Tho when u consider a high dps Cleave weapon u dont really see : Condi Dmg so makes sense.

Maybe they could have kept Poison on GS#5 tho, maybe. Iam very happy at the current Reaper form, will it keep it status to HoT release tho idk.

Thieves have many important roles in WvW… scouting, finishing downed players, hitting the blackline and sharing venoms with Necros and Eles. We have some awesome thieves in our zerg.

Venom Shareing is for the skill-less tho. Its when u need to cheeze the enemy. Imho try and move away from that.

Reaper power/condi comparison?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Ravezaar.4951

Ravezaar.4951

I prefer Power necro and I love the addition of Reaper as Power Built. I really never went back to Condi after the Terrormancer was king of the Hill a year back or so, made 1v1’s without any real challenge maybe its diffrent now idk.

Power Reaper have more burst and more important alot more Cleave then current necro, specially with the addition of GS ( the GS weapon itself I see more or less as Power based only).

Condi Necro still imho rains supreme among the necro speccs tho Reaper after 2 BWE feels like it brings Power Necro abit closer to its Condi cousin. Something I waited for a long long time to see. As a mainly Solo Roamer Id say going Condi as Necro is around 8/10 who does maybe with Reaper it be 6/10 Condi.

GWEN is gonna change some classes will fill roles other classes posses now aso..

Guard and Warrior will remain and Il bet Ele will aswell and some may use Tempest but I doubt many in WvW will drop Staff. Warrior have 2 roles a Frontline Soldier or a DPS Berserker and those 2 roles will be there after HoT. Guard has really 1 role and its unshaken and dont see DH will add another.

Necro will change from DPS Caster to also have a Frontline/Midline sweaper DPS role basicly moveing slightly behind the Guards/Warriors as the Reaper and some will stick to current.

Mesmer will be added in WvW to the DPS Caster just by useing Wells and not leave but atleast have a 2nd role to its Focus Party role.

Thief will sadly remain in FP

Revenant will both fill a DPS FP role but many of us also see it getting a Frontline role with Guard and Warrior even to the egree as we will see Revenant Raid leaders in WvW due to traits that can reduce Inc dmg aso..

Ranger as Druid and Staff should give it a better AoE and maybe even some AoE-Ground Target options so it can get into WvW abit more then just a roamer or occasional FP player.

Engi has really no role at all, I see some use it in FP but mainly just for the pull and thats sad, hopefully Forge will give it the sustain to maybe fit the same type of role as a Reaper will, it will ofc also need abit more AoE then.

I've owned GW2 for 3 years and I only pvp.

in PvP

Posted by: Ravezaar.4951

Ravezaar.4951

PvE and WvW is to very seperate things byw, WvW is PvP just on a larger Scale tho there is alot of small-scale and Solo Roaming going on. I Solo Roam in WvW basicly 80% of my ingame time since release and rest is WvW with Guild + PvP. I prefer WvW over PvP due to the lack of restrictions mainly and also due to in a big way the"Amulet system" wich also has way to many limitations to ever be effective. Some classes like Ele and before Engi benefits to much from the “Amulet System” .. benefits u dont see at the same scale in WvW.

Lore and the World in Gw2 is fantastic but as OP I stoped doing Dungeons after first 6months and that goes for rest of PvE aswell, except the rare unlocking of a new Map…

Rewards force WvW players into PvE against there will by Anet in a way sPvP players dont since WvW players gear is mostly linked with PvE players (exceptions being Agony stuff for fractals).

Alot of WvW players wont do good in PvP but there are exceptions like the old RG players like Sabull & Sindrener aso… PvP would have equal hard to adapt to large scale WvW despite haveing the skill for small scale some of them are actually quite weak in WvW.

I would do much more PvP if Amulet system got removed or changed
I would do much more PvE if it actually were a challenge at all, it just isnt even close

ps: Stop saying WvW and PvE are same cathegory, its an insult to both

I like more spaces for Solo Roamers in these Borders, most Solo Roamers avoid EB hence we hang around in the Border Maps, same Maps that will now get replaced. So we really need some places were we wont get Zerged, Cornered or Trapped.

Some ppl say Oasis area however when event happens Solo Roaming around there will become impossible. Also for Scrims/GvG’s or fighting Guilds I really dont see many Open Mob-Free areas either…

ps: If u want EU players to actually test your Maps use a EU server sometimes, just future Expansions or alterations u can keep this in mind, most EU players I know logged after 10-15min due to 300+ Ping #badplanning

How should I rebuild my Necro to be Reaper?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Ravezaar.4951

Ravezaar.4951

Imho and i dont think its diffrent if u Condi or Power, but tho I only run Power I go from that, basicly Reaper is Melee so for PvP,WvW perspective u need to buff up abit. And I will buff up both Vitality and Toughness and will loose mostly on Precision due to not being in so much need of it with new Trait.

Melee as a “Lighr-” armor class is a nice Idea but it requires u to actually adapt cuase u are gonna get hit more… alot more.(takeing in dmg from other sources then just the 1 guy u fighting such as AoE, GT-AoE and basicly being stuck in there)

We bin Nerfed constantly for 3y, we actually bin Nerfed 10x more then we bin Buffed since start so I doubt we get a Nerf now. The dmg feels in balance even slighlt UP in RS and considering our cast times not even OP on GS. The Nerf some non-Necs wanted is on Blighters Boon but saldy its weak outside on sPvP and in 1v1 situations, the whole trait relies on allies imho due to Necros inability to buff himself other then with Might.

I cant see Reaper get a nerf

Burns are balanced

Posted by: Ravezaar.4951

Ravezaar.4951

Burn will get a nerf, think Anet already confirmed this somewhere, but most likely not pre-HoT so just hang in there

Which shows the next problem this game has. Way too slow balancing.

Sorry other games throw minor balancing changes for completely broken stuff out like bi-weekly. Anet requires 6+ months.

A balancing patch every 2 weeks… so rapid iteration on balancing is required for 3 years now, but they just don’t do it.

question what are you running? Why are burns such a problem atm?

Against a burn guardian you just go sigil of purity and generosity with 1-2 condi cleanse. D/D eles i can understand but burn guardians? Trap rangers? Im just wondering why people are screaming blood when there are counters?

There is counter to all Conditions, issue is why 1 Condition is so much more potent then the rest ? Do u really feel Burn is in a good place atm ? No1 is complaining about, Bleeds,Terror,Poison,Chill aso but Burn, think about that for a minute instead. When they made Burn stack in intencity they made a mistake, end of story imho…

Necro is the least played class in PvE, and among the bottom 2 in sPvP and ppl say Reaper is OP after just 2 BWE ? The title of this thread is laughable if anyone actually played the Reaper, since the "tanky2 only appear when Reaper hits destructable objects wich only happens on some areas mostly in Bof K-Map.

On his own Reaper is far less tanky then the DS Necro. I like how Reapers scared some ppl and that the dmg out put form specially GS suprised ppl in PvP but its not even good enough to make it into the sPvP Meta yet ppl cry its to OP lmao: Compared to Berserk Warrior, PU mesmer and DD Ele a Reaper Necro is sofar behind its a joke. Fix those first then come say Reaper is to tanky and to OP, btw most like the thread was made by one of those who got a challenge for the first time ever.

For WvW raids with the Guild u can still use your Wells as a Reaper and imho most things in RS is better there then DS most so the Combos + Infuseing Terror, haveing that Stab is what DS just cant provide. FiG is nothing compared to IT.

So I mainy do WvW and PvP and I will swap to Reaper first avaible second, I think there will for sure be ppl that stay on Necro as it is now but in our Guild raids we mostly going over to Reaper. and btw GS works awesome in WvW u actually get pulls, gravediggers to hit when ppl dont see them comming

“If you’re getting hit by gravedigger consistently as that skill currently is, then I’m sorry but this is an issue of player skill and not whether or not the class is OP.”

Yes and Iam getting upset mostly cause when something is new and ppl havent adapted yet still come with OP-Threads… I saw Rangers, Engis adapt pretty fast and when Melee classes notice they may not have it so easy uplcose vs a Reaper they adapt and maybe add a range weapon, like a Warrior takeing Rifle aso…

Its downto skill, adapting, bypassing the new shiny and yes player skill. But a good even great player will be hit by a Gravedigger or Executione Scythe here and there most will NOT land and RS sustain is quite weak in 1v1.

Basicly the Gear gives you good power , Toughness, Vitality and Ferocity with ok Precision that boosts with the 2 Traits Decimate Defences and Death Perception. Hope it helped.

A mix of Valkyrie,Knights + Zerk Weapons and runes we think well with Hoelbrak + Relentless Pursuit so we took them over Strenght Runes.

The question is tho make it baseline for Soul Reaping or make it baseline for necro ? cause if u want to trait other stuff then Vital Persistance or do u want to trait other stuff then Soul Reaping all together ?

Imho Soul Reaping should be the line for Shrouds and the F1 mechanic and if u wanna improve that mechanic or not but if so u should take soul reaping. Imo make Vital Persistance baseline for Soul Reaping BUT not baseline for Necro.

I may get arguments for that last one but imho if u make it baseline for Necro then it feels like u can have the cake and eat it to….

Yea Reaper aint even close to OP not like the current Mesmer trait PU… fact is just that most players see Necro as a Range-Dps caster that are weak upclose and wich cant really disengage…

…and the Reaper is a Melee oriented (still light armor) class that u really souldnt stick to unless u have some tools ready: like stance,signet of stone, block aso… The diffrence is Reaper hurts upclose but suffers at range and the Reaper wants u to be near him, he even feeds on more being near him & when players get that he will be much easier to handel.

btw if u wanna fight a Reaper on point just send in a DD Ele, aint nothing takeing those down

I agree that Reapers are way to high in dps right now. The answer is constantly, “Well just stay away from them”. The problem is in conquest game mode you can’t just stay back. GS3 > GS 2 combo can wipe most people’s health bars, especially when you add in a shout that can give you 14-22 stacks of might. Oh and you can make it unblockable. And did I mention that RS 4 can put 11 stacks of poison on someone, all while having an extremely high damage coefficient? Plus the heartseeker skill just tops it off. Ultimately I can’t see how reaper can be allowed into the game as strong as it is right now, unless other professions get some serious buffs. This to me seems like the start of power creep…

I cant stop laughing when i read this guys posts, can we send him back to the PU forums plz ? He apperantly got “Meleed” by a Necro, something that cant happen with current Necro, here is a suggestion for you: try move 5ft away from the Reaper !!

Reaper has way, way, way, to high of dps to be as tanky as they are. Hands down Reaper was the best elite spec by far. The amount of damage that they can deal is absolutely ridiculous. Their only weakness at the moment is their lack of gap closers, and I can’t even imagine if you get stuck in melee range with one. The fact that you can stack 11 stacks of poison on someone with rs 4? Or that a shout for might can place 14-22 stacks of might on yourself? Or that gs3 into gs4 can take all/most of someone’s health? And all the while with two health bars to burn through like it’s nothing. I can’t honestly believe that Reapers will be let into the game without some serious tweaking.

I dont know if i should laugh or cry

vs Mesmers when solo roaming I actually had an easier time on Reaper, was the only class vs who I could with RS AA sustain my shroud somewhat due to its scaleing effect and killing clones. Rangers kill Reapers if they can stay at range tho, well most good kiters tbh so you need to get to them fast. When a Reaper is on top of an enemy he really brings the hurt, for a moment I kinda felt like a Warrior….

Also wanna add Blighters Boon as some non-Necro clueless ppl think is to strong in sPvP is to weak in Solo play due to Necros in-ability to self buff. This is strong when we are together with say a Ele or guard on point in sPvP or with others in WvW but on our own it barely helps the LF gen and it NEVER keeps us long enough in RS.

Despite a huge improvement from BWE1 both in range and Cone AoE it still lands fewest time of GS skills for me, in a PvP setup (all skill land in pvE) its very hard to trigger it and basicly just work on a enemy when they up close and right infront of you.

Its not only the bug, the new 2 traits that replenish LF makes LF regeneration just insane, reapers dont even need to abuse this bug anymore, they can start a fight with 0% LF and get it to 100% in no time.

And yet in WvW and any situation without destrctable objects that Trait is underpowered so your talk about the trait if wrong is just rants from a clueless non-necro player.

And Warrior build adrenaline on it aswell, its NOT a class bug its something Anet have to alter if they dont want ppl to benefit from destructable objects. Fact is Reaper Shroud is much squishier then Deth Shroud on basis… where DS can be used equally as a defensive tool, RS is more or less purely offensive tool.

A bad player will have issues with RS and cry here, a good player moves out of range and takes the Reaper out of RS in 3-5s.

How do you land GS skills?

in Necromancer

First the Asura thing: Gravedigger on a small caracter is harder to see animation but ppl will learn about that come Expansion aswell.

GS skills are hard to land but atleast this BWE the reward was finally high enough when they did. In PvP to land GS skills on point or fighting more ppl then 1 is not that hard it will land more then I tought pre-BWE. Even good/great players may focus on the guy nex to u and not dodge the Gravdeigger comming in. Since GS is so AoE heavy it hits quite alot. Useing the somewhat buggy Grasping Darkness to setup Gravedigger works really well and also slot a chill-effect Sigil like Hyrdo or Ice on the GS .

In 1v1 situations it really depends on the class, Warriors,Guards, DD-Eles get hit more then missed cause they need to be in there and Mesmers and specially Rangers wont.

I said this before NO Class, NO player is never so good he Evades everything in a Fight.

@Drarnor you forgot my Fav shout “nothing can save you” … I kinda like vs Warrs + Guards

If I didn’t have notable feedback, I didn’t post anything. I was really focused on skills and traits that changed or, in the context of Chilling Victory and Augery of Death, the supporting environment changed.

Fair Enough
