Reaper Megathread

[ThorneDynasty]

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

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.
