Reaper speculation thread

[Brightshadow]

I’m surprised that they are releasing a variant of Necromancer especially with how taboo it is in China.

But excited for the diversity it will bring to the game. I wonder if they will have access to other voidsent avatars, or if it’s like dragoon from FF11 which only had one wyvern.

Got to wonder if we are going to get some skills and attacks similar to not only FFXI Dark Knight but also from some of the Voidsent bosses in XIV notably from the Shadow of Mhach raid series if we are going to channel Voidsent allies.

Judging by the footage I'm going to guess we have our regular combo, the Voidsent familiar as Ogcds and Devil Trigger as our big CD unless it's a resource we build up and expend. Looks like we might have a DPS burst phase of our own version of Fell Cleaves.

I'm very interested in the job mechanics.

As for the Voidsent itself, it might be very sentient and might hail from the 13th. Very interested in learning about the creature itself.

We might develop a Eddie Brock and Venom relationship with it.

Gives me Hades vibes with the scythe in the right hand and claws on the left. (Sure staff for hades but fits a profile)

I’m excited for it. My ingame husband is also excited. All he ever wanted for a scythe wielding job and now he has it. He said it will be his main dps. For me if it doesn’t have positional I will delve into as well. However it kinda gave me a sneak peak into what they may be doing to summoner/scholar with faeries and summons. Summon is my main so I’m super excited. Reaper and their avatar is like what summoner should of been this entire time.

They also seemed to enter a similar state to good 'ol Ranjit. Not a 1-1, obviously, but that's cool as hell. There wasn't nearly enough shown to demonstrate how they'd function AS a melee DPS besides the obvious, though.

As for lore, 99% of voidsent stuff either has them being invasive, or specifically bound. This seems far more mutual, so I'm super curious what comes of it.

Reaper's job quests are definitely going to be ones I plan on paying attention to. I'm very interested in how the WoL ends up channeling a voidsent and even allowing it to take control.

Super edgelord and in play it sort of looked a lot like HW Dark Knight meets ShB Dark Knight. They did say it played completely differently from anything else but I didn't feel that at all from what we saw. I'll certainly give it a shot once it's out but I'm not really sold on it yet. If they release some Maiming sets that skew towards Reaper I could at least see using some of the gear pieces on my DRG though.

Let's gooooo

Looks cool but problem is that most of job trailers look cool. Im more interested on what are they gonna do with the gameplay.

Shiny cool animations wont keep people playing for long if gameplay is not good. DRK on Shadowbringers is a good example: Cool animations but poor gameplay

[MagiusNecros]

I just hope they make the level syncing low level dungeons not suck.
