Thread: How does a reaper major feels about reaper in 7.05 now and how it can be improved

I'm massively against square continuing to remove debuffs from the game. Their fear of them has been a bit of a cause of the homogenization i feel, nobody can have dots, nobody can have debuffs to put on enemies, everything has to be a buff on the player or button turns into other button. Dot classes are basically purged from the game other than bard at this point for example, i don't want to see them continue the trend of removing debuffs

Indeed, removing debuffs is a horrible idea, thats why i have another suggestion with if keep death sign: gain soul, the biggest issue of reaper is not how hard the rotation is(in contrast the rotation is already quite ez), the issue is as the battle time increases, there will be a soul/ shroud shortage comparing with the rotation in end walker, the appear of perfectio would reduce the number of casting enshroud. I think the design team originally wanted to add this skill(perfectio) to make rpr's rotation more flexible and dealing more damage but it ironically reduce the rdps.

If you really want rpr to become better, please watch my post carefully, thank you so much.

I have never asked it to be easier. what I did is just giving suggestion to develop team (luckily if they view this thread) on improving rpr's current state and sharing you guys how a rpr main(me) feels about 7.05 update and how would I improve this job By not just simply modifying the damage delt and how The light of vpr has completely obscured rpr.

I do not want reaper to be easier, I hope it's design will be more reasonbale and funnier in the following Dawn Trail patch update.

Because literally everything you suggested makes Reaper easier to play and just a Viper clone on a job with a far slower gcd. And anything skill speed related will never, ever take unless they somehow make communio an instant cast while you have skill speed monk gcds. Which is also trolling btw.

To say it will somehow be harder is delusional at best and obvious trolling at worst.

Just play Viper.

If it is true that ppl think everything i suggested makes the job easier.
I would say
I surrender. yeah yeah true. I will definitely go viper if no optimize update to 7.08 reaper .Also if this circumstance continue Until 7.1 Lets see how many progging teams aiming ultima eden will pick reaper instead of other meeles. Until that time, not only people, but the development team will finally realise that rpr is actually shit this patch
I love playing rpr, it is so cruel to see that even lots of problems on rpr have not been solved but a strong and easy melee just came out and beat rpr effortlessly.

Is it some sort of lost concept to just play the classes/jobs you have fun with instead of worrying about how much better or easier another class/job is or what?

Viper has high personal dps because it brings no utility, even for itself, and Reaper does less damage than it because it does, that's the price it pays because otherwise why bring Viper. More than that, who the hell cares? I don't understand why you would want Reaper to get simplified solely because Viper does more damage for less effort.

I don't need nor want to see Reaper get butchered just because Viper does more damage, that's just ridiculous.

Death's design does not need removing nor does it really need to generate gauge. I'm sick of seeing debuffs and DoT's get axed because some people see ONE ability that actually might need you to rub a braincell against a wrinkle to maintain/use and then proceed to whine.

I'm missing my ears and tail.

That's all.

Yes, Thank you for waking me up.
I was worrying too much about his situation, maybe I should just play the game.
