Reapers shouldn't be considered Range?

I mean base on attack animation and spells range, They could be ranged and use Spiteful. Wouldn't it be better if they categorize Reaper as range, since it really looks like a Range DPS because of Chains.

    They're considered mid-range, which isn't far enough to use Spiteful.

    That's the problem with Reapers. Many ppl don't like Reapers as dps in their parties. It is fun class but with very technical issues. few chances made them better but still they lack.

    Seems like player skill issue.

    care to enlighten me why reapers on many stuff not getting picked or kicked? Class seems easy but it is a very low ping & high skill cap oriented class. I don't do bad but I don't do good, my 220+ ping is effecting but still I am not that good, yeah. But Reaper is a class you don't see much.

    Many people don't like reapers because of the reputation that's out there for a long time and majority are not very knowledgeable at first in learning the skill chains effectively. Reaper is one of those classes where it's hard to find someone skilled in because of the skill it takes to maximize the efficiency for reaper class without using spacebar. When you do find one, you thank the moment to be able to run with someone who is skilled at reaper class. The same can be said with most other classes as well (hard to find god lancer, slayer, zerk, etc).

    I never get kicked once with my reaper. I have 250ping to 270ping.
    I still outdps some warrior and archer with same wewpon tier(both ambush+15)

    You dont see many people playing berserker or slayer either, but that doesnt mean zerk or slayer are bad. Infact, recently, all the slayers ive played with (in lfg pugging) are actually good, same with zerk.

    People just loves new things, who would want to play super old class when theres new classes/revamped classes.

    I cant deny reaper being [filtered] at high ping since theres some skill not being able to work properly, like shadow burst, shadow lash, deathspiral, shadow step.

    But if you follow redstrikes guide then well...i can only tell you that his guide is outdated.

    And idk about others, those people which I play with, they ignore/reject player not based on class, but based on names.

    @Daight90 I get what you mean, I don't say class is bad, I like it, it is fun, but to me not melee and not range with ping oriented skill is kinda a flaw in designing.
  • Daight90Daight90 ✭✭
    You should play reaper as melee. Treat your skill as 'extender when boss moves away'. You are not playing reaper ideally if you dont fight in melee range.

    can you enlighten us on his outdated guide?

    on his full vm8.5 // enrage top // double energetic IV // double crit accesories
    he still does 4m/s on rmhm without slaying

    is like many bersekers dont notice Tunder strike is range skill ( you still hit targets 8 m away, 9 m in huge bosses )

    You might be misunderstanding something, I just said it's 'outdated', not 'bad', guide being outdated =/= guide being bad.
    His guide is good, just 'outdated'
    Well I'm lazy to explain, here's a hint, if you see his full guide, copy his glyph setup in that guide, and watch his RMH video, you'll notice a little difference in it. :)

    If your playing reaper from range, your doing it wrong...and reapers are far from weak... I have never been kicked from a party for being a reaper and I usually get top 5 dps in HH with my reaper as well~

    reapers can get behind a boss way easier than actual ranged classes can
    so there's no reason for them to need access to spiteful.
