Reaper Rotation

[Yournewstepmom]

Just hit 70 and unlocked Reaper. Anyone know a good rotation that includes most abilities and not just AOE and Slices?

reaper rotation probably the easiest from melee but i wouldn't worry too much until at least lvl 80 when you get enshroud

A nice suggestion and the website is fancy but feels a little complicated to get through. The top build in there seems to be for lv90 but I found the leveling guide which may help:

Hello, what do you find hard to get through?

In case you're one of the person behind the website (or not, either way), just know that I didn't mean to sound rude. I think I spoke with a tired mind when I did because looking at it again, it's really not that hard. Maybe I just didn't want OP to get lost. Otherwise, It's good.

Well I didn't make it but I do help out, so I can pass on feedback. And don't worry about it, just wanted to pass on feedback if you had it.

All good but no, in all honesty, I have no complaint. In fact, I even wanted to tell the people behind the website that it really looks amazing. (Not kissing butts, I am serious). Don't mind the "little complicated" part, I think I spoke out of line. The images really add to the guides.

you didn't, don't worry about it.

70 Reaper rotation is easy, your big hitters (GIBGALGUIL) align in a burst perfectly with True North, so you don't even have to worry about positionals if you're lazy, it just takes some gauge management on your part, but since you should be holding your burst for raidbuffs (Or at least getting in the habit of holding them) all this aligns quite well. I haven't played reaper for amonth or two, but I think at 70 you get a Gib-Gal-Islice-Islice-Gib-gal every 60 seconds, so your second 70 burst comes online with another round of raidbuffs (Often referred to as the Reopener)

When I say holding for raidbuffs, I mean the concept of not burning your CD's and gauge except during 2minute windows (The opener, 2min raidbuff and pot reopner). However you also don't want to overcap resources like gauge, so the trick is knowing when to burn excess and when to hold for incoming raidbuffs.
