Reaper speculation thread

[Arkdra]

Since Reaper is sorta toeing the necromancer line, it'd be interesting if it were to be a Melee DPS with a raise of some sort. It would need to be on a long cooldown, or reaper would need to utilize MP in some way, but it'd be a novel utility for a Melee DPS to have when it's been the realm of casters for so long.

I would love it if Reaper got a rez. That would tilt me over to maining it almost immediately on it's own (at least until I got access to it and a training dummy).

Also, please, please, give them (and everyone else that doesn't already have it) an aoe at level 15.

I might end up as a Reaper main because as a long time SMN main, I'm super jelly of how detailed the summons look compared to my featureless blobs of cute. It depends though, on how the play feels. Either way, I will level it and Sage to cap for sure!

That's because they are not summons. Hey are merely animations of an ability.

The only reason to give Reaper a rez is so that they can kill their enemies a second time.

Aye I kinda thought it might be like DRK's but seeing the detail in the preview I am uncertain. I love my Automaton queen too but it seemed to float slow like Demi Bahamut and Ifrit egi! Either way I am excited for Reaper.

You want the melee to hardcast rez?

I think a different rez mechanic would be interesting. Requiring a full gauge, no or short cast time and essentially uses the voidsent to "rez" a target player. That player is then treated as being under living dead for 10 seconds or so. Thus allowing bringing back a dps in a critical burn phase but still requiring healer input if that dps is to stay up. Throw in a pretty hefty cooldown to prevent abuse.

Sounds like a rez that nobody's ever gonna use tbh. Take it off the hotbar and keep rolling with the mighty Red Mage in your squad instead.

sure, if you want. Just spitballing ideas that are unique rather than the homogenized crap we have now.

I don't care. I would use it. There's already a whole parade of morons who don't use their role skills or other utility amongst all jobs so that isn't an excuse. I very much don't want to hardcast a rez though, I'd expect it to be instant with a cooldown similar or longer to swiftcast. Tying it to a resource would suck but if that's the price, so be it. If they did require it to be hardcast I would still use it, but pretty much only in the case of all the other rezzers being dead.
