Egorum.9506 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thematically it fits reaper, gives them a taunt for tanking, forces them to choose between having the stun break or having a taunt to catch opponents off guard. Stops foes from just running away from the slow death theme, which is in place of giving reaper a second gap closer. Cd to 40s, remove the weakness/might. 2s taunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 A movie monster don't taunt. Anyway, it's a bad idea, I don't think reaper can afford any more loss in it's defense (weakness). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 If I were to buff YaaW in any way, it would be adding a Might strip to the skill. Can't remove any boon but Might, but it gets stripped from enemies. Not corrupted, just stripped. That said, I don't feel it really needs a buff. It's a perfectly usable skill as-is, especially when traited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDragon.3046 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 You are all weaklings is kind of ok as it is now. Of any shout I would rather see a buff to nothing can save you by changing its mechanic to gap close and just be a flat duration unblockable rather than one that scales per foe hit.

Remove the cast time. It's a non elite/heal shout ffs, should never have had a cast time to begin with. /rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephylon.4938 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 If I recall, ncsy originaly had no cast time. It was added later on because it was deemed too op. As for the op, I'd agree to this if the taunt was added ontop of the current effects. No more trades, reaper needs a buff without a nerf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the op, I'd agree to this if the taunt was added ontop of the current effects. No more trades, reaper needs a buff without a nerf. Originally, _all_ of the Reaper shouts had cast times. Yes, even the stunbreak shout. "Nothing Can Save You!" is one of two that still has its original cast time (the other being "Your Soul is Mine"). "Rise!" was a hilariously long 1.5 seconds cast originally, leading to the meme that the more the Reaper had to say, the faster he said it. "Suffer!" didn't help with a 1 second cast.

Anyway, it's a bad idea, I don't think reaper can afford any more loss in it's defense (weakness). I disagree. How many times you see someone turn around slowly, look the killer in the eyes, and just ... freeze, in a horror film? Pretty common trope, if you ask me. TBH, I'd actually be kind of ok with the theme the OP proposes. It makes it a different skill, unrelated to the current one, and so you are right: losing weakness would suck. OTOH, taunt, weakness, and stun break sounds like a tight combination on the skill. Fits with a bunch of other taunts also giving some sort of mitigation to the inevitable damage that having everyone suddenly hitting on you brings. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
