Gamble.4580

I get the random bot maybe 2/10 but my problem is I placed silver lol so I struggle keeping t2 plat as game just wants me back. I climb, then games like wait u was placed lower and boom whole team vs good players. Idk I enjoy it tho makes game more juicy

Why do we want the healing back? It was useless in pvp and not noticed. If u want a big update we want worm instant cast or a a update the reapers elite

Staff is main weapon for scourge reaper and core for spvp it’s just that good and needed. Staff is for kiteing or pre dh rotation bomb

Lol fb scourge blood and scourge curses will just win

You will learn rotation. You aren't too mobile, so you have to learn to anticipate how others will move. You will learn about matchups. Ranged snipers will beat you, unless you can kite them or account then. You don't need any of this at the start. Just go blow up team fights. But I found reaper to be very effective and instructive up to around gold 2. The skill floor is low, but there is plenty of room to grow if you want to.

> 4. You can run almost an identical build in open world pve, so it is easy to build up some muscle memory while farming

I agree reaper is a great class as it’s simple to understand but like easy to play classes more people understand how to kill one and where the weak spots are and that’s why reapers mainly stay in gold and low plat. Some leave low plat but that’s because they play the real necro meta as metabattles builds are not what u should be playing in plat. Gold u can play gs but plat ur main weapon is staff as it’s just that good! Unless your team has no cleave then I might take gs it also depends on the map.

Also fear cuticle is a must! It’s just that good if u ripping stab with ds, makes a great peal or burst combo also it’s great for rez

Reaper is fine in pvp. I don’t notice any difference. It will only effect the pld reapers

I do it cus vallun does it

> > Sindrener: just play DE it is better anyway plebs... "and then I Farm u with S/D"

> Sindrener played DE himself on the stream. Faeleth never stoped to play DE. Top2 EU is DE (now, and he was falling back and forth in positions)... Sure DE is cant be played in ranked /s

> The last season reaper player finished as top3 with 800 games nonstop playing, not just sitting it out as many does.

> Even core guardian CAN be played in ranked as last season top14 is a core guard main, point is... what cant be played in ranked ?

The problem is with playing none op meta builds in pvp is different if u Eu to Na. Most plat Eu players will be gold in Na fact. As vallun said it’s nothing to do with skill level it’s population, 50% of your games Na will be a smack together group vs the lucky matched well to level group. So to play non meta is supper risky Na As non metas can’t carry as much as needed no matter who u are on Na. On Eu I was leg most seasons with ex on Na I struggle plat2.

Lol who did anet take their advice from for the up coming changes ?? It’s like they have no idea

Do u remember what was said because I was tagged in it for some reason and got deleted before I read lol

Reaper is like the teams guard dog u see the red and set the dog loose and it goes mental and attacks and chases everyone down. It gets u by the balls and kills u or u put it down before it does.

But one thing is clear it helps the team because moment you show your face the whole red team have their tails up and you take their focus and that helps your team even if it’s for a little bit.u support your team by being very aggressive, focus smart and mobile! U get in a thf /rev mindset and run around like the lone stray attacking everyone. Reaper is bae

It always felt based on the other teams coordination or your teams coordination to keep you alive in my opinion. I always know when decent people are queue together in matches because those 2 or 3 people will always be the ones who focus me no matter what point im attempting to play a part in and no matter how i play it. I can show up as late as i want to in a fight and no matter what they are doing their focus instantly switches to me. Most of the time how well i do is not based on my own skill completely but also based on the skill of those im matched against or those on my team.

This is some good points tho. Does reaper need buff no I agree it’s fun to play and can hold its own enough to be useful. Butttt would love to see worm a instant cast for quicker kitting. but I reckon on core it could do with some buffs in ds maybe but don’t play it at all for years so can not tell u what ability’s but just watched valluns core nec video and seems good for low plat

Loved that! Great video!! Never wvw looks fun might start tip toeing in there. Hate looking for the fight tho want it in front of me all the time.

Core grd is not a big issue at mo, they are a nice class but due to a less condi meta rev as taken their spot as the roaming dps.

I only go for beasts if it’s a free kill a steal or to stall any other time it can throw the game. All though will admit have had tunnel vision went for beast and games have been lost because of it. Npc play don’t always have to be used infact most of the time it’s to risky to do.

Cool our own redshirt guy!

That poor thf tho. Legend says his still waiting for a Rez.

I disagree I think reaper is in a great spot at moment. But no1 but few know how to use them properly.
