Reaper Megathread

[Arkdra]

You've completely missed the point, I said "buttons to press" not "the numbers of all ogcds combined".
I ain't talking about the numbers of ogcds Reaper has, I was talking about while we're in combat.

Only has 1 combo but A lots of ogcds to press, even more than DRG and SAM.

Hmm.

It's downtime, to be more specific.
More buttons to press means less downtime.
As of right now, every melees have their own down time but Reaper looks like it has the least downtime among all melees.
So you will have something to press most of the time, more than when you played DRG or SAM, that's my point but obviously I haven't played Reaper yet so I don't want to get ahead of myself so this is just pure guess.

What does this mean? Reaper has fewer buttons to push than samurai. Reaper has less to keep track of than samurai. Reaper has a less complex rotation than samurai, assuming it goes live with the abilities shown. Both jobs have the same kit in terms of things to do during forced downtime/high movement (a ranged attack and a long channel). Reaper generates soul more slowly than samurai generates kenki so samurai will do more ogcd's per *insert duration of choice here* than a reaper will. Samurai also has a speed buff so they will just straight up be pushing more gcd per minute than a rpr will.

Reaper will have a busier opener probably, but even that's a maybe.
