Reaper Discussion

[MagiusNecros]

I'm having a flashback to the Master of Shrouds prestige class from the D&D 3.5 splatbook Libris Mortis. Having a host of incorporeal followers that could drain ability scores by touch was hilariously broken if your DM wasn't prepared for it.

Glad I'm not the only one that has Libris Mortis. Master of Shrouds was fun for me with Corpsecraft. Very powerful shades.

I hope we can glamour the avatar.

I would love to have diabolos as my voidsent avatar.

[TheMightyMollusk]

You can have that right after I get a Demi-Alexander glamour.

After watching the demonstration a few more times, I think I pinned down part of why I'm not terribly keen on the class, and that's that they opted to attach the gaudy green/red and black slashing visuals to all of their scythe attacks, which makes them very indistinct outside of the directions the slashes are going in.

The other melee jobs have much tamer special effects on their combo moves, which places more emphasis on the animations and it's generally only their combo finishers that tend to have much visual flair.

I think I'd like the job better if it placed a similar emphasis on animations over visual effects by reserving the fancy colors for their combo finishers and other moves you're not going to be spamming all the time.

Looks cliche and unoriginal honestly. Gameplay may be fun, but the style of play is impossible to tell from the trailer.

I found the name very Bland
like Sage is pretty simple but Reaper jeez

I don't think the name is particularly bland, really. No more than the likes of 'Rogue', 'Warrior', 'Ninja' and so on.

I'm pretty excited - it's effectively exactly what I wanted in a job but didn't get until now:

- Suitably 'edgy' aesthetics.
- A scythe as a weapon.
- DPS role.
- A 'pet', even if only temporary/tied to specific attacks.

Furthermore, it potentially opens up the way to other similarly darker jobs in the future.

Unfortunately have to agree. That pet and forced change to black robes during burst is pretty silly.

I think you change more than just your clothes, notice that lack of horns and tail (since the example character was an Au Ra) and different face appearance.

[Sathona]

They'll never be as edgy as Dark Knight as long as we still have the Delirium animation!

they will never be as edgy because reapers control a voidsent, dark knights literally summon their dark edgy side /sweat

You are right. The horns and tail disappears.
