Reaper Megathread

I mean, some of the old jobs like Dragoon got some nice visual updates on some skills.

Sure but they still feel like they have some left-overs like Vorpal Thrust.
And MNK still has the same combos we've had since ARR they look rly outdated imo especially stuff like Bootshine, True Strike and Snap Punch.
Demolish and Dragon Kick should be the standard and even then I think they still feel a bit old.

Reaper is just fresh all-around, when I watch them in action they do look significantly more modern than the rest.

I rly like what I've seen for the MNK rework but updated combos was one of my first wish for this reason.
It's what you do most of the time and it just looks and feels old.

New jobs are flashier to draw in players to try out the new jobs. Updates to current jobs are only reflected in the upgraded skills. Monk is one of those jobs that is very outdated much like Bard is before upgrades. You could argue Bloodletter still looks lame as hell.

Reaper and Sage animations are top level.

Yeah I hope they consider updating us in the future.
It's pretty insane looking at the footage from the media tour just how flashy Reaper is.

Every animation feels top tier and incredible.

Where will the reaper quest start? What zone will I have a que for teleporting to?

You can turn into a "demon thing" for few seconds... makes it already my favourite job.

A lot of guesses about dark knights swapping over isn't totally unfounded. Reaper looks like it'll be more fun to play and I've been tanking since HW so it'll be nice to try something new. I also play Reaper in Guild Wars 2 and there's surprisingly quite a few similarities such as the shroud form and the shadowstepping

DRK refugees are a given. I suspect a lot will be moving to Reaper if they drop tanking.

Yes, hello. Tis I, disillusioned DRK player.

I actually mained DNC throughout the entirety of ShB because DRK felt a bit too bland and after watching the various EW presentations, it became clear to me that the job would never quite feel the same as it did back in HW... which is when I enjoyed it the most.

Now, I mained WHM during ARR and, although I dabbled in healing via leveling SCH and AST in subsequent expansions, I never went in it as in-depth as I did when I mained the job. Part of me reaaaaaally wants to go back to healing with SGE but the part of me that loved DRK also finds RPR very, very appealing... I think that, ultimately, what I'll do is unlock both and take em into Bozja to get a feel for them. Historically, I've always stuck with jobs that just feel good to play, so it might sound silly to say but... if it "speaks" to me, then that's likely what I'll end up maining.

I've already decided I'm maining Reaper because it just SPEAKS to me. So much so I've capped Poetics, Allegory, Revelation and have full 72, 74, 76, 78, 80 gearsets ready to go for launch. And plan to spend an hour or two labbing out the class and putting all the HW, SB, ShB sidequests I've skipped to powerlevel Reaper casually before taking it to Bozja to get to 80 stress free then play the MSQ and easily get to 90. Very excited for the job. With Sage and Summoner as subs.

The true Dark Knight experience is upon us.
