How much armor you need as Reaper? WvW

[Tzozef.9841]

I"ve been roaming alot as Reaper and dueling very top tier Warriors and Revenants.

 

I'm curious how much armor/damage is needed to be effective to roam in WvW. This is what I use now - http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNBhOD7kjGodTs2GwzGgeTsgLYxXxuYYE6qFAOATjtmQ/C-j1yHABCpkwLdDf/AA+XZkTKBB4CA8u6Ahv/QPKR0TlnhUKEAABwO35O35O3Zt5NbzbWn78mJFwqLjA-w

 

Also this is what I'm thinking of switching too- http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNBhOD7kjGodTs2GwzGgeTsgLYxXxuYZE6qFAOATjtmQ/C-jlyHAB9oE7d1BA4CAImuhvfAAhv/gSKNGSZgeq84kSwAAIA38oZzGNYn7cn7cn7s28mt5NrzdezkCY1lRA-w

 

Can fellow Necro/Reapers help me out? Reapers are in a really bad spot design wise and need to stat maximize as much as possible.

 

Could others if you like post your own Reaper builds where you stat optimize as much as you can? Curious to see what others offer.

 

This also includes how much Crit damage vs. Attack Power do you actually need to do sufficient damage.

Between 2.6k and 2.7k is good for power dmg reduction.

Any higher isnt worth. Additional 500 armor will only block 500 dmg from each attack. So its 1:1 dmg reduction and armor. If below 2.6/2.7k armor, its somewhat 1:1.3 pretty stupid. Well i dont know the exact numbers anymore from my testings.

 

[KrHome.1920]

2600 power

2600 armor

50% crit chance

200% crit damage

 

should be optimal

Utility 3:

NCSY! -> Revenants, Guardians

Corrupt Boon -> Warriors, Soulbeasts, Holos, Thieves

 

Good vs. Power builds, bad vs. condi builds (e.g. against a Condi Scourge just go full zerk with wells, then CC and melt him in 2 seconds at melee). But that's how the game works... rock/scissors/paper

I wouldnt play scholar rune.... reaper dosnt have enough self healing to get a good uptime on that dmg modifier.

 

Right now im testing this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNBhOD7kZToaTs2GwzGgeTskLYQBgGQBIeKuFHjUnh1QzC-jVSBQBP4IAshLAwVUOAgHCACV/BP6GIy+DmRJIGVyRKgImsB-w

 

I even won some fights against guards and revs.

 

Against condi, you want to change out spectral armor for the condi transfer shout.
