Harpe giving Soul Gauge is the biggest change for me. Not sure if the other changes will fix it, but RPR has a Soul negative rotation, so being forced out of melee would cause you to sometimes not have double enshroud up for your 2 minute burst windows.

i ahve been gripping over not being able to have enough gauge cause needing to be really greedy and not use harpe but this changes things soo much! Bleeeess

Something not mentioned in the video is that Harvest Moon now also grants 10 Soul Gauge. This is really great for gauge management, because now we're no longer working in as much of a deficit.

Wait for real? That's awesome. There's a variant of the 2 minute burst where you use Harvest Moon during it, so that means we can get 10 free gauge during our burst.

These changes sounds great, im already a fan of harpe usage during times when I'm forced out of melee so being extra rewarded for it is cool, and perfectio should help with some of the awkward waiting for shroud to get off cooldown

They really gave Enhanced Unmend to RPR.

@@Double0Anims It's not shown in his dark knight video, but they still have Enhanced Unmend. It works the same, just for the new gap closer. Does feel less necessary now, but...

yay more buttons in Enshroud! I wish they would have made Arcane Crest last longer with all the other defense/health related things tho.

Shadow of Death, as much as I dislike it, actually helps a lot for aligning things during burst windows. In the 2 minute burst, SoD lets you weave pots and Arcane Circle during Shroud as well as lines everything up so that Plentiful Harvest becomes available the moment your first Communio goes off. All in all, it seems like Dawntrail doesn't chance the job's overall rotation a lot, just gives us Reaper mains some new fun toys to play with. Digging it, especially the free soul gauge on Harpe so that I'm not instantly behind on my rotation the moment I have to disengage. 👍

i think the thing people dont like about shadow of death is that it is a debuff on the enemy they should just keep the button and make it a personal buff you have on yourself

@Auesis

Ай бұрын

They could just allow you to keep doing your normal GCD combo inside shroud and then SoD would not be necessary for any alignment. SoD would be way more interesting as a combo button like Storm's Eye instead of a standalone, slow, boring one that gets in the way of the fun stuff.

These changes are sick

I really enjoyed playing RPR while I leveled it in EW, glad they're not changing too much about it!

Harpe/Harvest Moon not contributing to our soul gauge was literally my only issue with the class. Not only did they fix that, but they gave the added bonus of cdr to our teleport. Didn't think I could love reaper anymore than I already do but here we are!!

I thought Perfectio's animation was going to be an upgrade to Enhanced Harpe, since it looks related to the Hell's Ingress/Egress portals

Im kinda disappointed by perfectio. When i saw it i thought it would be a nice additional attack to pad out the time waiting for Plentiful harvest to be ready. Plentiful harvest being a requirement to use perfectio is definitely annoying imo

So i know this wont be read by basically anybody but as much as people hate deaths designs buttons, in the current way reaper is built to play, it is a button than will fundamentally break the entire job if it was removed without us getting a replacement to it. If you remove it as a button we now have to worry about the fact that we have no "slow down" button during our enshrouds especially as buffs are coming out and as a job who already has to deal with a built in drift, that deeply pushes it to drift unlike most other jobs which will hurt us a lot more than what a lot of people think. I do understand why people dont like the debuff it offers and personally i do want it gone but its give and take situation. You can remove that button but if we do not get a replacement the job is dead in the water

Okay, so leveling it is still hot garbage. My main gripe is still there

Any low level content with it is a bore

Was hoping for Shadow of Death and Whorl of Death to give 10 Soul Gauge when you deal damage with them as well but hopefully they add that before too long into the expansion... I was also expecting more Avatar actions and more Enshroud actions...

I love reaper and still plan on playing it but there’s 3 things I’m surprised that weren’t changed. 1 - I thought they were going to take the sam route removing the heal from crest and give 10 soul gauge when popped. They didn’t raise the cure potency so I’d rather have gauge 2 - Getting another option to use harvest moon. Like for example similar to drg maybe at the end of gibbet or gallows you get a token and after 2 or 3 you use it without having to soul sow. Its such a fun move I wish we could use it more often 3 - shadow and whirl of death being ogcds. I will admit weaving it into the 2 min window has its perks but they have been removing that type of mechanic from other jobs so I thought they would do it for rpr. I like SoD so I’m glad it’s still here. Just my opinions… everything else is Perfrectio! 😂

It's happening. I's happening!

Disappointed they didn't change Soul Reaver so these stacks won't disappear if you use another gcd while the buff is there. Other than that I like the additions

if they make communio into perfectio why on earth is arcane not turning into plentiful harvest`? also why is there still a single target deaths design? the aoe one looks better and does the exact same thing, just adjust its potency.

really can’t wait to see the identity we get in 8.0 right now this job feels so unfinished and begging to see its potential.

I played so much RPR at the start of EW, but eventually slipped back to mostly SAM for melee. There's just so many melee and I don't play the role that much, it's kind of hard not to go limp back to the one I've always known the best, but who knows, maybe one of the others will grab me. Maybe even MNK that I was totally shit-talking in its video. :)

Soft accent for Sacrificium would be "Sa-cri-FI-cium", following phonetic latin rules.

I wish Shadow and Whorl of Death would be removed it's annoying to use them just to provide and maintain deaths design. It would be better to give deaths design to Harvest Moon and refresh or add additional seconds with Gallows, Gibbet and Guillotine.

Double communio during burst is going to be a little harder. xD

Gluttony combo now does more dps than perfectio so our big finisher likely won't even be used during buffs outside of the opener lol

I like how the thing we asked for, your melee combo refreshing your death, was already in place for NIN, and was placed into Viper's starting kit. CMOOOOON team, just let me stop hitting that button.

Reaper is my main that I savage raid with and the most annoying aspect of the reaper is shadow of death. Just make it a full minute would be such a major quality of life improvement. Other than that I'm very happy with the Dawntrail version of reaper. I was worried they would add additional actions as I'm fresh out of buttons on my Logitech g600. It looks like all of the new actions just upgrade current actions so that's great. I like that a lot.

I know I will become the most hated comment but I am happy we didn't lose death's design.

Hop into enshroud at the wrong time? Whoops, you don't have any filler gcd's besides shadow of death.

Reaper. The prime example of button bloat for the sake of button bloat. Nearly every single single target ability that reaper has it also has an AoE version that does the EXACT SAME THING “but now it’s AoE”. It’s uninspired, and disappointing. And they didn’t change a thing
