So its ok to kill dragons and use fireballs, but using 2h weapon in one hand does not match reality.
Few words, “its game” and “you lack imagination”
PS: wall of text… not gonna read any of it

It sounds like the Necro/Reaper have some problems contributing directly to team-situations, but are still viable when compared directly with other individual classes?
This conclusion is plain wrong. Pure BS
You have a lot of extra health that is “wasted” when other classes can survive with low Health.
Your DPS is low and your support is low. Your skill cool downs are really high.
The class is really fun, but only a couple of gimmicks keep it barely alive in PvE.
In pvp, the situation is better, but you still rotate very slow have terrible ranged fighting and are hard countered close by meta classes. You are pretty godly in stronghold however.
Yes that’s me and I’m walking away.

All numbers used are only examples. The whole idea is just concept and nothing more. Let’s not fool ourselves its for fun and not getting implemented
Ritualist
Mechanics:
-Sacrifice: [F2] When triggered the necromancer get “Sacrificial aura”. It alters the effect of some of your utility skills. If the necromancer enter Shroud or press [F2] again, Sacrificial aura ends (10s cd)
-“Sacrifice Rituals” skills gain retaliation on use and use Life force for activation. They only can be used while under the effect of “Sacrifice”
-“Sacrificial Offerings” are another option for your utility skills.
-The Necromancer gain “Soul Shroud” instead of Death Shroud.
-Leaving Shroud gives 3s of retaliation.
-Retaliation is center piece in this Specialization. Its both offensive and defensive. When traited it also heals every second.
-Vigor is another addition to the Ritualist. Its another defensive tool that allow the necromancer to dodge more often.
[[Skills]] Sacrificial Offerings and Sacrifice Rituals.
-Offerings and rituals share the same utility slots. You can use Offerings at any time and Sacrifices only while under the effect of “Sacrifice”
-Sacrifice Rituals drain your Life force. Some skills drains fixed amount and others drain constantly until its duration ends or the Life force is depleted.
-All sacrifice skills affect up to 5 allies in 360 radius and has low or no CD.
