Good to see that my research from KR content creators came to similar conclusions with your research. I think i will love either full swiftness or moon, as a one trick i will play both. I just want to be really fast and altough i prefer the playstyle and i general burst of moon more (idc about dmg) it feels too slow for me. Ty for the video gl hf grinding for that week one reaper push

[@nostrahazer8970]

im a heavy spec enjoyer. all my class are full specs so i guess moon reaper is da way for me xD thanks for the great video overview about reaper class Grenton, cheers!

[@zoom0244]

1st I thought I will go Moon 100% because it looked much cooler. But Thirst being swiftness makes it look good as well. I will start with 4x3 until the prices drop and I will get both setup as 4x3 to try them out.

[@Cauttyh]

SUPER informative homie thank you for this! REAPER GONNA BE HYPE!

[@GrentonCasts]

Yessssirrrr!!

[@AQ-yn5ns]

Great Reaper content Grenton, learned a lot to better prep for NA's release, thanks.

[@CharlyLPride]

I was looking for some explanations and to be fair you answered so much questions. Thanks !

[@GrentonCasts]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@CharlyLPride]

@@GrentonCasts can't say I didn't.

[@MrFrosteyes]

Will be using the reaper as an alt next to my EW DE but stillt not sure which class engraving to choose from. Moom is what I expect an Assassin to be, while thirst do look quite fun as well. Choices over choices. Trying to create one but every name is already taken

[@GrentonCasts]

Naming a new character is 100% the hardest thing ever.

[@petrp4427]

Thanks for the vid, very helpful

[@benellis6816]

Really useful, can’t wait for the class, I’m a swift enjoyer so debating the 50/50 spec swift or full swift build with off stat neck

[@GrentonCasts]

I always suggest starting 50/50 and then adding more if you feel you want to :)

[@Zextro.]

Very nice video ! Thanks😊

[@GoodFella876]

Great video! I will be making both :)

[@MrCruelsafix]

i'll be running thirst love swift builds my reflux sorc is fast as hell

[@Azure_Eclipse]

Very clean video Grenton Thanks for the info this is Bubblekins from Laufie's stream btw

[@GrentonCasts]

Hello Bubblekins! Thanks for watching the video! Im glad you enjoyed it

[@Nalfen8522]

Thanks for the video, it is really helpful. I was considering Ether Predator on Thrist as a fourth engraving (I want Spirit Ab, Raid Captain and Thrist) for starting the class just for the 30% defense and 10% damage. Do you think for a beginner it is a good option or I should replace Ether for Ambush Master if I use the card sets you suggested?

[@GrentonCasts]

I wouldn’t take spirit absorption myself. The 4 engravings I would take as thirst if I was doing 4x3 would be grudge ambush thirst and adren then add raid captain as a 5th

[@Sebastian_leinhart]

you got a new sub. thank you very much for the detailed explanation, even though english is not my mother language, everything was understood perfectly.

[@GrentonCasts]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Hydr312]

Reaper Workshop Ep.1 ... The end.

[@GrentonCasts]

Yea I had a lot come up both with streaming and in my personal life. Still trying to figure out what I want episode 2 to be about! I am working on something though!

[@drgitgud]

my first impression is that moon reaper is lowkey deathblow on crack and i love it

[@GrentonCasts]

They definitely share some similarities. Moon is just a lot squishier that’s for sure

[@001rein]

good stuff

[@gotsnuffify]

Can you tell me how you pre bought your accessories? Where are you storing it? Are you keeping it on a character and just going to pay the pheon cost twice to send it over?

[@GrentonCasts]

Yep! They are currently with my Shadowhunter and I'll be paying the Pheon cost again when I send it over to my Reaper

[@xJokeSilent]

I watch bonyoung a lot he’s an insane thirst reaper player

[@I3asyl]

COudl you go over how we can prep ahead of time. You said you already bought all ur acc and im assuming thats because you're planning to get legendary class in the engraving slot and then u only need one acc to finish that. As a f2p casual player i dont have much gold and my main is at 1445 and the way to get 4 engraving ez is to get the class engraving on acc. We cant buy that ahead fo time so do you have any other tips cuz i imagine the books and acc are gonna be mad expensive but i know i can push reaper to 1445 right away. Itll be dumb if im 1445 with no equips LOl

[@GrentonCasts]

If we look at Machinist launch the books will be insane for the first week or so. I don’t really think I’ll even buy any myself until the prices settle. To prep I’d just work on making sure you have mats to hone. Hopefully with the class being popular you Can build a 4x3 legendary set rather cheap. The class accessories will be pretty pricey regardless

[@Solarious]

Ark pass season 2 tomorrow pog champ

[@Mui3210]

Hey great video one quick question. I want to play Moon Reaper and i have 1lvl 10 dmg 1lvl 10 CDR 1lvl 9 DMG and 2lvl 9 CDR Gems what are the most important skills for my dmg / cdr gems ?

[@Hydr312]

Is it worth already buying items for reaper? Stuff is expensive xd

[@GrentonCasts]

Moon will always be expensive since a lot of classes share those engravings. Thirst is a little cheaper. You can try to prep early just remember you’ll have to pay double the pheons and make sure the accessories can be traded too

[@Alex_Bomaye]

nice video, i'll leave u a sub for that. btw what im asking myself is - why does bongyoung not go 70/30 swift/spec? since he's almost all the time with a supp in group he should get almost to the same move speed if not the same... the only thing he mentioned in a previous video was that he isn't playing the crit tripod but the lower cd tripod instead, which makes sense to fit one more red skill in the rotation and gamble for more dps since his attacks could crit (better with crit synergy i guess). it feels to me like 70/30 could be a sweet spot for newbys that look up for more mobility but do not want to go for the full swift bongyoung build since he has 1800 swiftness and we cannot get that on NA/EU atm to get one more red skill in the rotation, or am i stupid? :D have a good one

[@GrentonCasts]

He just prefers the play style. I personally would never run anything besides 50/50 on thirst myself! Thanks for the sub :)

[@terumikami3461]

for stats do u have to do 75 25 spec being 75 obv and crit/swift being 25 or can u do 50 /50 spec swift with mnoon?

[@GrentonCasts]

Moon is a full spec build yeah. So the meta one is everything spec with crit on necklace. The swift on necklace is not as strong at all and I don't suggest it for newer moon reapers. 50/50 is only really doable on Thirst

[@d0mit0ri]

What about Thirst lvl1 Reaper, saw a few with that?

[@GrentonCasts]

You can 100% run Thirst at level 1 as well. Smilegate has said they wanna move away from classes running their class engravings at level 1 so I always build with it at 3 but right now 1 is still viable

[@Despond]

@@GrentonCasts That's what I fear, investing in 5x3 with a +1 class and they just randomly decide to ruin that.

[@rakarth4tw224]

Have you tried Ether Predator for more tankiness?

[@GrentonCasts]

I wouldn't run ether pred in a regular build. In hellmode if you're going for deathless sure. But to run Ether pred is a little wasted imo unless you have a 9/7 and you wanna run it at +1

[@gabrielvictor9670]

moon needs how many wealth runes to work the perfect rotation?

[@DS_Takuya]

How do you prebuy accessory ? I dont get it since wont you want class engravings on your reaper accessory but they dont exist yet? Can someone explain pls

[@GrentonCasts]

I bought all my accessories except for a ring. So I will get class engraving + my last regular one on that ring : )

[@gho4st983]

How high uptime you have to get on Thirst to make it comparable to Moon? Everyone says that Moon is harder but I can already see how burst classes are favourable (Kakul P3 is perfect example) so I feel like having high uptime on Thirst will be harder to achieve thus making Thirst harder to play per se.

[@GrentonCasts]

Having good uptime on Thirst is actually quite easy since you have so many tools to get behind the boss. Spec/Burst classes always do better on Farm content where sustained and swift classes tend to do better on progression. I would honestly play what looks the most fun for you.

[@gho4st983]

@@GrentonCasts In that case it seems Moon would be better as alt, if person does not mind the price of spec accs since you will mostly farm content, not progress it.

[@GrentonCasts]

@@gho4st983 Not entirely true. To actually do your entire single damage rotation as moon it takes 3 different build and spend rotations most players don’t want that pressure on an alt they’d prefer to simply have a fast and easier play style. Again if you’re up for that challenge then by all means play moon. If I could only pick one build I would be picking moon

[@angelnokare6906]

Can I Do grudge keen raid cap ambush. And then adren 2 thirst 1?

[@GrentonCasts]

I’d test it in trixion when the class comes out to see if it works for you. KBW in that setup may feel weird since your crit will be low.

[@angelnokare6906]

@@GrentonCasts any other engraving you would suggest? I'm trying to make it viable with thirst at lv1 .. el cheapo

[@GrentonCasts]

@@angelnokare6906 That really is all you can run for level 1 build. Maybe cursed doll instead of keen as well since on NA/EU people don't like Cursed Doll much so it could be a bit cheaper!

[@angelnokare6906]

@@GrentonCasts Thank you ^^

[@GrentonCasts]

@@angelnokare6906 my pleasure! I hope you enjoy this class as much as I do !

[@cafesoneca]

can you run spec switf with curseld doll ? kind already bought the acessorys

[@GrentonCasts]

You'd be missing 15% crit which is huge on Moon. I'd look for a Spec/Crit neck so you can just go meta build. White numbers are death on Moon

[@cafesoneca]

@@GrentonCasts thanks,bought the Spec crit neck also

[@Despond]

Thanks for the reaper video, but I think the background music is too loud, it's louder than your voice so it sounds like your voice is the background noise.

[@GrentonCasts]

Thanks for the feedback we fix for next video :D

[@panini9860]

im looking forward to making a reaper although im certain i wont play thirst, it just doesnt look that fun to me

[@TheAbundance1337]

This might be a stupid question but how did you buy the accessories already? I mean aren't you gonna have to spend even more pheons to transfer the accessories to your reaper? Thanks.

[@goldslimetps1245]

Buying accessories now is basically a gamble that the prices will rise high enough after release that spending double pheons now would still be a discount

[@andrewhernandez4446]

Noob question but can someone tell me how to pre buy accessories? do i just buy them on another character then when reaper comes out i mail it to the character?

[@GrentonCasts]

Yep exactly, just be aware you pay the pheon cost x2

[@DJMontague]

Liked, Subbed, DMed. Hot dude alert.

[@GrentonCasts]

No u

[@raidenxt8737]

WTF valtan ghost phase is a named mob? so he doesnt take extra dmg from grudge?

[@GrentonCasts]

So I may have not specified it properly in the video. He 'acts' like a named mob in that your skills pass through him. Not that he is a named mob. That is 100% on me. Good catch!

[@doanrii3242]

im using forest giant card set and umar family card set to my gunslinger and striker its good combination card

[@xEvolutionOfWarx]

Looking for a video on different voice types for Reaper so I can figure out which sounds best :)

[@GrentonCasts]

Im very biased to Voice 1 and 4. 4 is -very- high pitched so if you like that I would suggest 4

The background music is too loud mate

[@GrentonCasts]

Hey! If you're watching on Mobile that might be the case, a little bug in the sound! On PC it should be fine though!

[@gabsoul69]

I watched on PC and its to loud i must admit, had to rewind and rewatch couples times cause music is to loud

‘I prefer play style of spec/swift compared to spec/crit’ I promise you I know how to speak sometimes lol
