The damages from _deathly chill_ were changed to bleed for a good reason, you just kill the purpose of this change which is to give room to more than 1 reaper on a single target. Now, focusing on power is bad design in itself and hurt the reaper even more in PvE because the necromancer is basically a gimmicky profession that only got epidemic as a good side to be taken into a group and epidemic just happen to be a condition skill.

 

Overall, with your changes you just destroy the reaper in all gamemodes here.

 

Blood magic changes are also asinine, especially _transfusion_ with it's 25 seconds cool down... lol. I understand the reasoning but no, just no.

 

Like I already said, making reaper an "Okish" dps is just a mateer of tweeking _chilling nova_ so that it grant a longer chill uptime and _reaper onslaugth_ so that it grant ferocity indiscriminately whether you are in or out of shroud.

 

_Chilling nova_: Base chill duration increase to 3 seconds (PvE only) and ICD decreased to 5 seconds (PvE only).

 

_Reaper onslaugth_: Now allow migth stacks to grant ferocity as well. 10 point of ferocity per stacks (PvP/WvW) and 15-20 point of ferocity per stack (PvE).

 

2 changes to make both power and condi reaper a little bit less unsigthly as dps spec in PvE. In PvP, the reaper need survivability not dps, but what you suggest won't manage to give this much needed survivability.

Reaper is not a "Power spec", and has never solely been dedicated to a single damage type full stop. Reaper was designed as a blend of three ideas: the melee brawler that is rewarded for hitting multiple targets, the master of Chill, and the "movie monster". Reducing the Elite specc to just "a power specc" instead of embracing the fact that in high-end pve Reaper is able to utilize multiple build types is ridiculous.

im not agree with that in pve are only played "Condi" Reaper and Condi scourge. Where is the Power Reaper in pve? in my oponion Reaper needs fits his role as a sustain Meele fighter by using Chill and Frost Auras as Major Mechanic and not Bleed.

I'm not sure why you want to gut Reaper's best trait (decimate defences). I mean it's a pve trait and you want to turn it in a pvp trait despite 2 other pvp orientated traits existing in the same line. Gut soul eater or chilling victory instead (cv being more suited to the theme of chill).

Also I agree with Dadnir. His 2 ideas are far better than any of the other suggestions.

Becasue Nerco lags of sustain and Frost aura gives you Sustain with the Trait you have a 12% dmg reduce and you Chill enemies also grants Crit Chance and is still useable in PVe to inflict Chills. in my oponion this fits perfect the roll from reaper Frost Aura as a Meele Option is just what he need.

Soul Eater is already a sustain trait, Chilling Victory is when used in conjunction with Blighters Boon and is the "chill" trait of the mid tier. No reason why it shouldn't be one of those 2 that gets revamped instead of Decimate Defences.
