Overview

Reaper is a self-sufficient AoE DPS class that is easy to do learn and very forgiving for mistakes.


Skill Bar

Greatsword
Utility


Weapon Variants

The second weapon set can be left empty or filled with a number of options.

  • Staff for ranged DPS and Life Force regeneration.
  • Main-hand Dagger or Axe and off-hand Warhorn or Torch for good CC options and Life Force regeneration.
    • None of the off-hand weapons offer any DPS. But Warhorn skill Wail of Doom and Torch skill Oppressive Collapse are both excellent CC options.


Skill Variants

Healing

  • Well of Blood - your biggest heal that also heals allies.
  • Consume Conditions - if conditions are a problem.


Utility

  • If CC is needed, replace Summon Shadow Fiend or Signet of Spite with Spectral Grasp.
  • If you don't like using summons, replace Summon Shadow Fiend with "You Are All Weaklings!" and use it off cooldown. If your Life Force management is good, then this can even be a DPS increase.
  • As you get more comfortable with the build, replace Summon Shadow Fiend and Signet of Spite with Well of Suffering and Well of Darkness. Use these wells instead of Haunt in the rotation.


Elite

  • "Chilled to the Bone!" - if area CC is needed.

Usage

Rotation

The logic behind this rotation is to maximise Soul Barbs uptime by entering shroud as often as is possible, while trying to time Nightfall with Reaper's Shroud so that the pulsing effects benefit from the extra ferocity from Reaper's Onslaught and extra critical damage from Death Perception. Downtime is simply filled with auto attacks.

The buff from Relic of Fireworks is maintained for as long as possible by spacing out Nightfall and Soul Spiral.

Activate Infusing Terror at any time while in shroud to reduce incoming damage.

Summon both minions Summon Shadow Fiend and Summon Flesh Golem before the encounter starts.


Opener

  1. Nightfall - this triggers Relic of Fireworks on each pulse, making the buff last for 12 seconds.
  2. Haunt - can be skipped if there are other sources of Chill Chill.
  3. Reaper's Shroud

Reaper's Shroud Loop

  1. Life Rend Life Slash Life Reap until the Relic of Fireworks icon starts blinking (should be when your Life Force is almost halfway depleted).
  2. Soul Spiral
  3. Exit Reaper's Shroud when the Soul Barbs icon starts blinking (should be shortly after finishing Soul Spiral).

Greatsword Loop

  1. Dusk Strike Fading Twilight Chilling Scythe until Reaper's Shroud is almost off cooldown.
  2. Nightfall
  3. Haunt - can be skipped if Life Force is abundant.
  4. Reaper's Shroud


CC

Use the following abilities to do Crowd Control (break a Defiance Bar).

  • Summon Flesh Golem Charge (necromancer)
  • Spectral Grasp
  • Grasping Darkness
  • Executioner's Scythe
  • Infusing Terror Terrify


Life Force

Use the following abilities to generate Life Force.

  • Summon Shadow Fiend Haunt
  • Death Spiral
  • "Your Soul Is Mine!"
  • Grasping Darkness
  • Dusk Strike Fading Twilight Chilling Scythe
