Discovered Reaper Bugs and Opinionated QoL Changes

Reaper Bugs

  • Reaper Shroud 2 travels further than intended while under the effects of Slow.
  • If auto-attack chaining in Reaper Shroud when Life Force runs out, you will finish the attack chain outside of Reaper Shroud. Note: Does not use the “attack” of the equipped weapon (Having scepter equipped will not cause the glitched Reaper Shroud chain to apply bleeds/poison).
  • Reaper Shroud 5 interrupts a target within the hitbox through blind.
  • Deathly Chill, although deals damage in the form of a condition "tick" and functionally identical to Terror, cleanses blinds.
  • Reaper’s Onslaught attack speed bonus doesn’t work.
  • Animations occasionally fall out of sync with the ability cast.
  • Animations don’t fully match hitboxes (i.e. Reaper Shroud 4 hitbox extends beyond animation).

As for Quality of Life improvements, these are just my feelings about some of the abilities of the class right now, feel free to share your own feelings as well.

QoL Changes (My Opinion)

  • Reaper Shroud 2 could use split functionality: With an active target, it should stop at the target, but with a no target selected it should travel full distance (The way it presently works).
  • “Chilled to the bone!” cast time feels too long. At most it should have a 1.5 second cast time. The swap from resistance to stability feels awkward and off-key.
  • Greatsword 2, upon having reduced recharge from a >50% enemy, should also have a reduced cast time. In its present form, it wants to reward you for hitting low health enemies by allowing you to cast it again, but the cast time being as long as it is makes the "combo-chain" concept feel exceptionally clunky, and on top of that, the DPS you get out of Gravedigger chaining in it's current form doesn't even out-damage most other methods of dealing power-based damage, like using Reaper Shroud and Dagger Autos.

If you want to update the op with better/correct formatting, just update it, comment and I'll remove this post.
