    I think Harvest Moon is fine the way it is. There's too much emphasis in the FFXIV community on having every button press do something useful in every single situation. This is a niche optimization tool. You probably won't be punished too hard for not knowing how to use it, but some will figure out a way to squeeze out extra dps with it by recharging during mechanics heavy intermissions. This job is closest thing to perfection that they've ever released, and I'm very worried that some well minding buffoons will destroy it by making some completely unwanted suggestions that will inevitably be taken up by a job development/balance team that is completely incapable from filtering out out good recommendations from bad. Lightning does not strike twice.

    'Uh, duh gap closah is hard. What is keybind?'
    'Okay, let's remove Ingress/Egress and give Reaper Plunge instead on two charges, with a cooldown reduction trait on Harpe.'

    Please, if you think that you have a helpful recommendation for Reaper, kindly do us all a favor and suggest it to Monk instead for their upcoming fortieth rework. Or alternatively, let them know what an obvious missed story opportunity that they had in the job quests in not letting you banter with your symbiote Voidsent. No, we cannot eat the fire primal. Grapes?

    I've finally gotten Reaper to lvl 90 and I have a few nitpicks.

    1st: Soulsow / Harvest Moon. I think it has the same problems Shoha did on it's first outing and I'm not sure why the devs decided to do it again. Soulsow doesn't even charge any of your gauges. I feel like Harvest Moon could have just been an upgrade to Nightmare Scythe.

    2nd: The DoT that's not a DoT. I don't mind applying it with one button but I kind of wish Infernal Slice and Nightmare Scythe kept extending it. Shadow and Whorl of Death don't grant gauge so it always feels like a waste having to constantly reapply it.

    3rd: I think Ingress and Regress should be made 10s and remove the enhanced Harpe effect. Then make Harpe instant and lower it's damage or something. I'd rather be able to dash more and be able to attack while moving when I have to run out of melee range.

    4th: I kind of feel like Blood Stalk should work like Gnashing Fang on GNB. Where when you use Blood Stalk it triggers the combo Gibbet > Gallaows, or Gallows > Gibbet if you prefer. This way Gluttany could just be an upgrade to Blood Stalk or Grim Swathe.

    5th: I would like Communio to be instant cast but that's just me hating casts on a melee. I also wish Void Reaping and Cross Reaping became Communio with only 1 Death Gauge charge left.

    All and all I think Reaper is fun, once you get to 80 anyway. I look forward to seeing how they improve it later on if they do.

    I’ve only been able to unlock it and do one dungeon with it so far (due to not being able log in most of the time… xD) but I love it. I tend to play classes more for the aesthetics and glamour than for the rotations, so I won’t be giving much of a constructive comment. But, it’s flashy and fast and it’s fun to have a ghostly companion aid you in the fighting. I like that you can jump around and get yourself out of sticky situations . It’s also why I play dragoon as the only other melee dps dps.

    Honestly, all of this. The class is quite well done. I would imagine we will get a trait in future expansions allowing some sort of proc that will give us a Soulsow stack to perform Harvest Moon in combat without the charge time, but as it stands now there have been multiple times in various fights where the boss becomes untargetable, giving us time to charge it in combat.

    The only real tweak I would enjoy right *now*, would be to simply change Hellgate to last the full 15 seconds that our In/Egress is on cooldown.

    Outside of limited HM use I think the job is pretty much perfect. I did test stacking Spellspeed for kicks with lvl 80 materia and you can get down to a 2.38 recast on Harpe and have a 1.23s cast time. I think with lvl90 materia you can get to 1.20s or less and be one of the fastest casters in the game.

    With the squished stats I wanna wait for calcs to determine if the 10% Det damage(would be effectively 20% damage increase with DD) and 50% DH rate is attainable like it was before Endwalker. Since my 3k Det and DH went down to 1k/1.2k.

    If it is not attainable it's probably better to stack Crit/DH so when you do hit big. It be big.

    Super low Harpe casts essentially will mean no downtime attacking even at range with slidecasting. So even if Hellsgate is on CD you really can keep attacking from anywhere as a melee.

    I'm looking forward when I reach lvl cap to see how low you can go. Very exciting.

    I agree with all of this, Reaper is honestly one the best designed jobs so far. You have a good melee skillset, a unique gap closer that essentially becomes 2 uses if you can use it well, and while your ranged skillset isn't its main focus, it's there if you have to attack at a distance. Plus, it isn't that weak at all in potency. At the same time, it gives the job fantasy of playing as a reaper perfectly. The animation for Harpe is great too. Soulsow is great for that niche optimization in moments where you can't target the boss. It's now my go-to for a melee DPS job.

    The hit effects are great and it feels nice and fluid overall.

    The only thing stopping me from playing it is being forced into the hobo coat when I use enshroud. Looks good on some chars, sure, but not on my stupid rabbit.

    Did they give Miqo'te mini-hoods for their ears in Shroud form? Because they definitely need to add ears on the voidbuns.

    Can Soul Reaver stacks not be removed by any thing? Or at the very least Shadow and Whorl of Death? I'm finding sometimes Death's Design is about to fall off when I need to use Gibbet or Gallows but if I use Shadow or Whorl it removes the Soul Reaver stacks. ><
