I'll x2 that request on an exo skyscale plus add an exo warclaw skin just to have all mounts covered.

Unlike the 5 pack Exo-suit mounts, the Roller Beetle on preview shows matching colour channel (bottom right) to rising 'electro bubbly' effect but on use in game the effect is always white.

Thanks

> It all began with the rework that movement impairing conditions do not affect leap distances anymore (chill used to decrease the leap distance of your target by 66% and cripple by 50%, so basically no one could disengage with a leap from you). That deleted the concept of reaper and they shifted the spec away from the horror movie monster to some semi tanky, semi mobile, aoe burst spec.

> New players might not believe this these days, but a pure melee reaper (GS+d/wh) used to be viable. Chill with GS or cripple with warhorn5 (pre rework) or on entering shroud with spiteful spirit and you could stick to your target for the whole fight. Frequent shroud access due to 7s cooldown leading to frequent leap access to the target was also a thing. Reaper felt completely different.

> Btw. swiftness increased the leap distance by 33%. So under the effect of swiftness RS2 was an 800 unit leap. Everyone can imagine how impactful swiftness to cripple corruptions have been in that time.

I almost teared up. Those were the days...

Bingo.

When we said whats next on the chopping block its fair to say this wasn't an option.

LF generation without the trait, that'd be enough to not cause an uproar or nerfing of another thing to 'balance'. A slightly fast AA would be great as well but that'd be just Crazy.

Nimon that blokes lost the plot. A decent thief can disengage whenever we pop shroud and wait it out then burst...super easy. I've only ever run reaper in wvw but have had to go condi, just to deal with the super booners. Revs and Eles are nuts let alone thieves. Every fight requires full LF from the start and without grasp you hope you can do enough dmg to end it asap.

Geist it's rough as a roaming reaper out there vs decent opponents but play with LOS as open fields no option. Necro can get into shroud alot easier than reaper so you have that path too.

Have you got a bun?

Yeah!

Here have a sausage.

Hey, I'm taking back my sausage and your bun.

But you know, keep the napkin.

CD turn around was really unfortunate, wow they caved quick. Waiting for dread nerf and torch readjustments so as to be in line with these theme based changes. Never surprised.

Howd they keep the name? This patch would've been a perfect time to 'Chilling Scythe' it or something. Level of detail in these patches..

What a laugh. But good job dominating vs other Silver players. Let us know your end of season rank . Necros get dealt with swiftly higher up.

It's a no.

I throw it on depending on certain situations in wvw when roaming. Along with curses trait and staff 4 its handy vs mesmers and the like.

Thanks Kr, that build's pretty inline with my norm. I've resisted choosing berserker but will make the change. Not enough damage otherwise, that's for sure.

Cheers mate. More so looking at a PvP builds but I might give him a whisper.

Completely agree. I'm one of those Speed rune reapers and you're spot on. I instantly opted for Spite Curses and that was really average. If anyone can link the mystery Reaper build that's being quoted as the dominator I'd be appreciative.

I was sayin well done to a mate who I thought had it equipped while we were Usain Bolt'n it in wvw only to realize it was from the bloke in front of him hahah. Get that range sorted Anet.

> @"Axl.8924" said:

> Why nerf sustain when other classes can do the same but also with damage? Guardian anybody?

Agreed man. Btw we're considered an attrition class right, so I guess that's what's going on here. Its aweful for them that they couldn't clean you up as fast as before Eremite.

Yeah its truely a super strong spec. Wvw - vs a decent one, isn't all that fun at the moment, not at all.

I've already mentioned years ago that I'd be all for a complete spec based on downstate, not much of a stretch due to our high mobility, so yeah you're right, great pickup there Arthur.

Woohoo. Nice work mate. I'd prefer to be ball-less but if I've got to hang 1 out for dble stat swaps Brilliant.

Ps not that I as a necro can mace it up, but Moot should be a hit right now.

Ok I'm talking about you just guess I thought it was obvious, and cool I'll stop being passive aggressive coz you know in these dire times we've got to stick together, I just couldnt get around to typing Stand the wall dude or even pop the quote, yeah that was bad. And you know you're pretty right on it being pointless to cry about, I've just seen enough changes and got nostalgic. To each their own lads, guess I just like darting around a little more. Peace!

Silver.. as in Silver mentality to think it needs a nerf.
