Reaper has some big problems

I hate the debuff skills on reaper, only reason i don't play it, lame to keep adding a debuff to increase your damage.

The debuff is just the same as all the other melee applying a buff to themselves to increase damage.

Not really, every other job got buffs included in their combos instead of using seperate buttons.

But it has that so you can realign your buffs and gcd if you happen to mess up 1-2 times in a 1-2min. period.

Arguably, a lot of the classes have their buff as a separate button, since they tend to be the final part of a combo but do less damage, meaning you want to hit them as seldom as possible.

Ninja's Huton is a whole ninjutsu, and then maintained through a different button at the end of their combo.

Warrior's Surging Tempest comes from a separate button at the end of their combo.

Monks get Disciplined Fist from Twin Snakes which is a weaker raptor form option than true strike.

Dark Knight's Darkside comes from a separate ogcd button, samurai's get their buff in the process of sticker collecting, and dragoon gets it as they proceed down one of their two combo paths. These 3 are the only ones whose maintained damage buff isn't a separate button.

The only difference with Reaper's ability is that it can be used without needing previous actions. It's still a dps loss if you're using it without it being necessary, same as the other buttons.
