Overview
Classic power reaper spin to win playstyle. Generally speaking, this plays like:
- Step 1: Prep (with abilities/wells)
- Step 2: Spin
- Step 3: Repeat
Gearing
This plays quite tanky and comfy. There are some modifications below to adjust.

Alternatives and why...
- Cheaper/non-EoD option: Swap Dragon's for Berserker's
- Higher risk/higher-rewad: Swap Dragon's for Berserker's
- Dealing with percentage-based damage? Swap Dragon's for Berserker's
- Not comfy enough? Swap Scholar runes for Vampirism (only do this for Open World, as it will over-burden your healers in some raid scenarios)
Rotation / Notes
- Pull enemies to melee range with Spectral Grasp or Grasping Darkness
- Hit enemies with Death Spiral (Greatsword 3) to inflict vulnerability (and increase your crit chance)
- Hit enemies with "Chilled to the Bone!" to inflict chill (which grants might, life force and nova explosions every time you hit them)
- Go into Reaper's Shroud, drop an ice field with Executioner's Scythe
- Use Soul Spiral in the ice field
- When out of shroud, focus on life force generation with weapons and "Your Soul Is Mine!"
- Dual-swords are provided as a utility option. If you don't own SotO, use axe/warhorn instead.
- Sword 1/4 will heal
- Sword 3 provides rapid movement (sacrificing health to move again)
- Sword 2/5 generate additional life force (note: sacrificing health for second use does not build life force)
Crowd Control
You have several options:
- Grasping Darkness (Greatsword 5)
- Executioner's Scythe (Shroud 5)
- "Chilled to the Bone!"
- Spectral Grasp
