Power harb is denitely one of the most fun necro builds to play, having extremely high mobility baked in plus the sword 3 and worm with spectral walk. Boon corrupts and spike damage, with AoE weakness procs thanks to curses and high amounts of cleansing with decent barrier generation. I wonder if warhorn over sword with relic of speed over fireworks might be viable to enable a better rune like Holosmith to avoid wasted stats, burst would go down but consistency goes way up. Marauder amulet is definitely better than demolisher aswell since it works better against both damage types and has synergy with shrouds life force pool. Also tried the original Lynx version with the relic that buffs life steal (forgot what it's called) and that can be good to make bigger barriers using blood bank. Additionally you could also drop curses for death magic making you way tankier and gaining alittle bit of damage but you loose weakness on shroud and booncorrupts on shroud 2. One of the reasons this build is so fun is because there are almost endless possibilities when it comes to trait choice and gear, pick what feels best, and tweak as you go, although I will say taking spite or soul reaping isn't necessary at all, you have extremely high damage as is and taking either of these lines makes you extremely reliant on support for survival, hitting harder doesn't matter if they kill you before the hit lands.
Put swords on instead of axe focus and with demo amulet you get a much tankier more viable build with blood bank. The health taken from swords is too good to pass up and the recent sustain buff to harbinger shroud really makes this an excellent pick. Elixir of bliss for added condi/boon removal also does wonders. If this isn't meta now, spear will definitely bring it to the top if blood bank isn't getting nerfed.
The damage is off the charts but the sustain is nonexistent. Mobility tries to make up for it but that only goes so far. Has potential, but kinda feels like a PvE build sometimes. There's a reason Harb isn't very popular anymore, but I'll admit it's a lot of fun to play. So if you're just chasing big numbers and not high ratings, you might enjoy this and it's certainly not the worst thing you could play.
Extremely fun build with suprisingly high damage. Absolutely excels when you're left to autoattack the enemy to death but can be heavily shutdown by reflects and focus. You need very good positioning and awareness to play this build and not get farmed.
High damage with good escape potential. Very important to having positioning just right and be able to get vuln stacks before trying to burst. I've been using Rune of Vampirism which can come in handy when you are cleaving bodies down faster than you could finish them. Whenever there is anti projectile you have to be careful not to stay harb shroud too long and switch to axe after using your non-projectile shroud skills. I haven't had much difficulty fighting reapers and this feels stronger as a power build to me.
Four Stars. Incredibly Bursty and Insane Damage, but lack of sustain causes it to be 4 stars, especially since if you wanna fix that you have to lose a good chunk of DPS. Valkyrie kinda fixes this problem, you lose alot less damage than before with just it, and gain a good amount of sustain. You can possibly two foes assuming you can group your vulnerability stacks with them, but even so.
Overall, Reaper is still the Meta. But I love this, some range and a lot more fun with a powerful AOE Stun
