==Overview==
A reaper build focusing on shouts and chill to maximize damage and to utilize chill traits and skills for CC and extra condition damage. 

==Skill Bar==
{{Skillbar
| profession = necromancer
| specialization = reaper
| set1 = greatsword
| set2 = staff
| healing = "Your Soul Is Mine!"
| utility1 = "Rise!"
| utility2 = "You Are All Weaklings!"
| utility3 = "Suffer!"
| elite = "Chilled to the Bone!"
}}

===Slot Changes===
'''Utility'''
* {{gw2skill|"You Are All Weaklings!"}} {{to}} {{gw2skill|Well of Suffering}} - for more vulnerability pressure and more lifesteal and damage.

'''Weapons'''
* Greatsword {{to}} Axe/Focus - for extra chills if using more wells and more self-support.

== Specializations ==
{{Specialization|Spite|bot|top|bot}}
{{Specialization|Death Magic|mid|mid|bot}}
{{Specialization|Reaper|mid|mid|mid}}
'''Variants'''
* Take {{Trait|Unholy Fervor}} instead of {{Trait|Chill of Death}} if you are using Axe/Focus over greatsword.
* Swap {{Trait|Chilling Nova}} with {{Trait|Augury of Death}} for faster shout recharge if using all five shouts. Better self-support.

== Equipment ==
{{PvP equipment
| weapon1 = Greatsword
| sigil1 = Ice, Force
| weapon2 = Staff
| sigil2 = Ice, Force
| rune = Grenth
| amulet = Rampager
}}

===Variants===
'''Rune'''
* {{gw2rune|Superior Rune of the Nightmare}}
* Builds focusing more on conditions over shouts should take this.
