Reaper Megathread

Is it bad that i wish Ultros was our voidsent buddy?

Also do wish there was a more plain scythe and a dyable version of the starter one.

Isn't the starter one the same model as the level 80 relic one? The level 80 relic one can be dyed after reaching a certain point in endwalker.

80? least the level 90 is a different scythe when i checked.

Yes 80, You can go get level 80 relic gear from the same guy you get all the other classes' level 80 relic gear. I'm pretty sure it is just a level 80 version of the starter gear you are given, except it becomes dyable at a certain story point.

The lvl 80 gear is actually undyable save for the weapon. Kinda shitty imo. Unless I am misinformed that is the way it is.

I'm close to level 90 (currently 89) and I have to say I love this job. I only play melee casually (I am a caster main), but I'm thinking of trying RPR in EX/Savage because it is a lot of fun. I usually enjoy oGCDs and weaving so it is a bit suprising to love Reaper, but I also love resource-based jobs and flexibility, so...

A shield for light self mitigation that also has party utility once broken, rewarding you for proper timing? Great. A party buff whose effects you can feel without ACT? Awesome. Only Soulsow feels a bit out of place, but I don't mind it.

The biggest issue of the jobs is that it is awful when level synced, but I don't mind playing it only at level 90 (or at least EW content). After they ruined SMN for me, I feel like RPR is filling the void I got from SMN rework, somehow.

Aesthetic, animations and sound effects are also top notch.

lol u said void without thinking.

The class where you literally have a voidsent inhabiting you is filling your void.

My opinions on Reaper are just “meh” tbh then again I’ve only been toying with it in small amounts

Firstly why doesn’t it’s 1-2-3 have any positional enhancement? Effectively being tied for most boring rotation along with MCH? DRG does MNK does NIN & SAM splits. It comes off as pretty shallow more so since RPR kit is super shallow and condensed (not as much as some ranged but I’m sure no other job has skills they get at lv55 or 65 due to lack of skills)
Maybe it’s a severe late bloomer but the job itself is rather unidentifiable

It's a very late bloomer. The job feels very lacking until 80. The job doesn't need more positionals. It's busy enough at the late levels.

Because the rotation isn't 1-2-3, you fill your meter so quick it's almost always closer to 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-5 (without the finishers actually having a fixed step unlike DRG) with plenty of double positionals, burst combos and the buff upkeep sprinkled in.
