Reaper Megathread

Just my suggestion, I hear MNK has no positional requirements which is exciting news. I can’t wait to play that class, but I never had a positional problem with monk mainly because their rotation was so smooth.

I'd suggest you take a step back and look at the Reaper rotation again once you've time to get used to it, as it is indeed super smooth. And Monk still has two positionals. Positional reqs have been massively nerfed over the years, but they clearly aren't going anywhere on melee.

Reaper is exceptionally smooth and forgiving. I've been playing tanks for four years and figured out RPR very quickly. Loving the class atm, although I feel that Soul Slice/Soul Scythe could be an oGCD.

Reapers at 86 requiring players not living next to SE servers to clip twice during enshroud for extra 400 potency feels bad but at least it's nowhere near mch bad.

I like all the GCDs we have currently, it winds up giving us just enough gauge when we need it for reopeners and odd minute shrouds. If they changed Soul Slice & Scythe, it mess with the alignment without them tweaking other things as well

[Khalithar]

They will in the future, having to focus so much attention on the skills hot bar and not watching the action is overwhelming. When using AOE cone attacks forces you to stop your rotation and move in position just to hit all targets. I think removing the positional requirements would welcome even more people to the class.

I agree with getting rid of positionals and SE continuing to dial back on them is a good sign.

I genuinely thought this would be the expansion where they *finally* got rid of them. Hopefully next expansion.

And cast times, ugh, all the swiftcasts and doublecasts and triplecasts just to work around such a clunky system

[Sarevok_Thordin]

Reaper has been fun except for one small problem.......well big problem

Lemure's Slice weaving during shrouded mode, it's effectively 2 double weaves.

MCH is already basically hell to play for UK players on US servers, I thought they wouldn't do it again.

[MagiusNecros]

Oh please. Shroud is so simple. 2 GCDS > oGCD > 2 GCDS > oGCD >GCD.

The only caveat Reaper has is relatively limited use for Harvest Moon.
