Broken, stupid damage, cc, aoe fear, stability access, blinds, boon corrupts...it really does everything necessary to be a broken dps
Fantastic build in the current meta. Tankier then most reaper build due to the high vitality and low reliance on shroud autos for damage. Your damage comes packed in with debilitating conditions like blind and chill enabling you to lock down enemies and lower their ability to pressure your team. Very easy to learn though will require good positioning to survive at higher levels. I don't think it's necessary overpowered as the damage takes a long time to ramp up and being killed by this build means you have tanked multiple key skills from the reaper. However, the near permanenet chill is extremely unfun to play against.
Completely busted build that makes it nearly impossible to play support because of how hard it's spamming multiple condis at once. No build can keep up with condi removal. I'm surprised it wasn't nerfed witb the may 2 patch, I hope it gets the nerfhammer in the next one. "PlzAnetBuffNecro" is full of bs, at least hide your agenda behind a better name dude.
I dont think this build should be 5 stars. It might work in lower tier pvp, but most classes being played in the higher ranks have the instant burst to negate shroud and make you useless as well as enough condi cleanse (which has always been the case) to negate your condis as well as enough cc to interrupt your main dmg (reaper). Giving it a star. Power Reaper or Condi Harbinger still outperform this.
I think people are sleeping on this. The damage if insanely good, so is the condition variety and how quickly it can put 5+ different conditions on a target. Great chill uptime, lots of AoE boon corruption (many of them are tied to instant cast skills and procs too) and easily stacks 25 vuln in no time to help your team pressure targets. It's really squishy but with proper kiting, CD management, and positioning it's manageable even if you don't have a support. The boon corruption and Weakness in the build also adds to the sustain in a way. This is a very solid build for rank climbing at the very least.
I think this build is great. You have to honestly out smart your opponent with positioning and picking the right utilities base off your opponent. IMO you can make this build work without support. I personally play this build and I have no problems.
Do not use this when soloing or without support. You will only handicap your team.
This build is amazing. "Rise!" is just great at countering Mesmers and their pesky clones.
Warriors and Guardians cannot out-sustain me due to the constant flow of conditions and condition transfers.
Elementalists and Thieves cannot burst me down faster than I can burst them down due to the major difference in sustainability.
Only class I've really had problems with were rangers, and that's due to their also great sustain, damage and tankiness combined.
This build can easily fill all three engagement distances, with Reaper form as a frontliner / tank / pure DPS. Scepter is great at mid range, makes up for the lack of mobility by taking away the enemy's mobility. Staff is fun when both other engagement distances are filled and you can comfortably sit at the back and spam heals for your team and conditions for the enemy.
While this build can hold its own in most 1v1 scenarios, it does have its counters. However, the enemy must be geared in such way to counter every aspect of this build, which would sacrifice their overall potential. However, this build shines in teamfights.
I was skeptical about switching to this build because of the success (albeit squishy) of more condition-heavy builds. But I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. This build is absolutely SICK. The sustain is unreal and the damage is sufficient to 1v2 and sometimes 1v3. It takes down DHs and rangers with ease, totally slaughters thieves, engineers, and eles, and out-sustains most mesmers and warriors. In the last 5 matches I've played (consecutively) I have not died once---compared to dying 3 or 4 times with previous condi-heavy builds that relied on team support. This is a solo-ready build for pugging @ season and will be murderous in an organized team setting. I opted for "Rise!" to split incoming damage (since I solo-Q and can't rely on a team healer) and it works beautifully. I can see why this is the new meta reaper build. Excellent!
Absolutely fall in love with the amount of damage this build can deal. The survivability is also good by necro standard.
So Spiteful talisman or Bitter chill? That 5% damage extra doesn't appeal to me at all in comparison to the vulnerability stack.
Good build regardless. Not too sure if this is a meta build though. Condi pressure from all out necro has much more presence in team fight compare to this one (and obviously they die much faster). When macebow warrior hasn't been categorized as meta in sPvP I don't really see this belongs to the meta.
Love it! It's insanely strong but IMO requires even more attention to good positioning compared to the old builds. Briefly said, it kills faster than the old builds at the cost of being more vulnerable.
