Reaper speculation thread

Also, the vfx I noticed is the one from when a buff is applied to you. Like when you're eating food.
Could be a placeholder to have a visual cue that application of an effect works or something like that.
But it seems that (in the current build) attacks from the voidsent give a buff (attack speed? Damage ? no way to know)

Positionals are there to make the melee job feel artificially engaging. I very much enjoy PvP Monk over PvE Monk as Chakra is built per weaponskill and has no positionals and isn't contingent on knowing when to use a certain skill out of 9 and drops the forms required.

Which I find more fun in it's simplicity.

And in raids at launch I find positionals to be detrimental to learning fights when Tanks don't know what's going on.

Most cases I'm more comfortable with ranged classes for new content because they have the leniency of no positional requirements.

A melee job without positionals would make it unique in a way but somehow I doubt it will be without them if role actions like True North will still be maintained.

Give Reaper a full raidwise raise move. With a 20 minute CD. Players will riot for weeks.

Why Raise? Let them do the reverse and reap the soul of allies, killing them and turning them into the shadow buddy for x duration with big dps buffs. That would definitely cause some fun riots.

Replace all of your allies by Trusts that do all the mechanics perfectly.
But never do enough DPS to pass the Enrage.
