About Reaper.

If a class is both balanced and fun why would you change anything?

The Bad

-Bad DPS
-Awkward Buff
-Nothing feels impactful
-Burst phase is too long to utilize most party buffs
-Debuff based damage buff

I dunno about you but I generally top the DPS in any instance I'm in. There's something to be said for consistency and reaper is fun and consistent in its DPS.
I don't know what's awkward about hitting a button for a burst window or just general assistance to all.
Maintaining your 10% damage debuff/buff at least adds some engagement rather than just toggling on a thing.

These all seem like very weak complaints.



I'd rather they not ruin the first job I've enjoyed enough to swap mains to in 8 years.

I know you're joking.. but you don't need a parser to check.

For a quick and dirty, glance at the threat. This is a good tip for everyone who runs the game vanilla (like I do). If I'm just below the tank.. I'm pretty sure I'm top. There are mitigating factors, but generally, if I'm #2 (sometimes 3 or 4), I can safely say I'm doing more than others since I don't really have anything else that causes threat, especially since my potential for healing is not really worth the move anymore.

Ah I know, but given all the hub bub going on recently with 3rd party tools I saw your words and the gif instantly popped into mind

I remember when that was a good way to see how people didn't use their threat reduction tools lol - "I'm so good I keep stealing aggro" .... Me: "Or it's because you're not using quelling strikes... two in one hand half a dozen in the other? /shrug?" haha.

Although I believe SMN does mess with that, if I remember the tooltip correctly it has enmity on summoning demi.
