Maulclaw.4365 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I've been debating lately as to what the second weapon I should use for a DPS Reaper. Obviously, the greatsword is the main weapon, but I also like to rely on a second set. So far I have been using a Staff because of its life force, so it's lacking in both damage and conditions. I was pondering about a Dagger/Focus or even Dagger/Dagger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaCoty.5721 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I believe this thread would get a better response for you in the Necromancer section of the forums - you can find builds on metabattle.com and qtfy.eu depending on your game mode - I hope you find something.

My build works fine. I am fully geared and have a role in mind. But I'm just doubting about the choice of using a Staff. Maybe I'll keep both sets around and swap them time to time and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless Soul.5178 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I use the staff as well on my Power Reaper, but I do have a dagger, focus, axe and warhorn on hand just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sokeenoppa.5384 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Dagger/Focus and gs for me. Also Axe and Staff in inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vincent III.1286 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I used Scepter/Warhorn for mobility and CC and I used GS for combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conncept.7638 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Curious as to why you would use the staff, only decent power damage on it is the auto, and it's not as good a power auto as that axe, dagger, or greatsword; all of which also gain life force better. As for me, I'd go with dagger/warhorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff is hands down best utility weapon. And pretty must have in PvP (Power and condi builds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlinvf.1358 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Dagger isn't ranged aside from Life steal.... and thats not always a viable option given Reaper shroud being melee instead of ranged. For power necro, theres ultimately no better ranged option then Axe main hand, given its ability to kite and quickly generate Life force; and it effectively pairs with every off-hand (as their mostly support and self-sustain). Dagger filled the role of melee DPS before Reaper came to be... but its lack of cleave has always been a major sticking point for it. I run Axe/Focus on my reaper, because the vulnerability stacks synergies extremely well with Decimate Defenses, and can burst up 24% LF in a few seconds (without trait bonuses). With Reaper, both shroud and GS are point blank attacks for huge damage......so your second weapon set should be ranged (either Axe or Scepter to match your build), to keep generating LF when you need to back out of melee range; then dive back in with either GS or Shroud once the space is safe.

Anchoku.8142 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Axe for solo PvE because you will need ranged power switching to greatsword when you close. Staff for open world PvE zergs because you will want tagging and the AA piercing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm biased and will say Staff. I don't play as a Reaper though. Staff is my favourite Necro weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minion.1987 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 axe and horn are good. staff is good cause of the one sigil that increases damage per condition along with the unblockable signs that give life force. greatsword isn't that great the blind and pull are good but the others not so much. i only used dagger for offhand condition build mainhand doesn't look that useful.

Omega Mayhem.7163 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Axe/focus and Greatsword. Get to 50% crit chance on gear, and after 5-6 seconds you will have 100% crit chance with Decimate Defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maulclaw.4365 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm rather torn between Axe and Dagger now. You all have proved some interesting points. Perhaps axe would be better since I inflict vulnerability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
