The Reaper Experience

[@adradox]

I said to my leader: "All that matters is that I'm having fun" and he responded: "bro stop standing in AOE you have 16 stacks".

[@EvaHoshizora]

Hi! A tip I give to people if they get overwelmed easily with new classes is to do Palace of the Dead to learn the class skill by skill in a slower and safer maner. I did that for Samurai and for Dancer, and it helped a lot to get the combos down, move skills and learn everything without feeling overwelmed.

[@obamaorb7426]

Double enshroud in 2m burst is simultaneously one of the simplest but most satisfying optimisations in the game. Just one of those little things like on black mage transposing into fire phase with an f3 proc to use. Just gives me the happy chemicals

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

The happiness feels long lasting

[@mrdoormat6809]

I main reaper just so i can mentally play Scream over and over again everytime Enshroud is on.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

or just scream out RULES OF NATURE, or something

[@RED_XLR]

I can only imagine how astronomically difficult it is to balance this game. Because the more content they add, the more expansions they add, the more levels they add, the more stats are needed, the more jobs get added, and the more time is needed to balance everything for every job, including the new ones. This goes for both old and new content, and the more content... Well, the longer it takes to balance, no? This isn't even me going into bug fixing, cosmetics for each job and race, and how the higher the level cap, the more skills "have" to get added, meaning more buttons to press, making old jobs feel overwhelming... So I'm not surprised they made newer jobs simpler, but they still managed to play their intended roles properly. I cannot wrap my head around how they manage such a feat. It's impressive, and it only gets harder and harder for them with each new expansion.

As a DRG player, I can confirm that we cry on the inside while we break our fingers on the keyboard. Great video as always!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I will never forget the happiness I felt when I played DRG all the way till ShB, then I realized on how much I cry every time, thank you so much! :D

[@EinsteinJR2]

Damn this editing goes hard, it's admirable how much work you put into this, respect

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much! :D

[@Moorbote]

I too am a certified reaper enjoyer. But my enjoyment comes from seeing a maid bunboi kill people with void magic 😈👯‍♂️

dude your videos are so good! keep up the good work, i always look forward to your uploads

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much! :D

[@canadiandude66]

Okay. When someone is able to make me burst out laughing so hard I nearly wake the entire province, you’ve done a good job on a video.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'm glad my shitty sense of humor can do that! :D

[@Tigerbro6]

you killed it on this one sam! great work on this guide. The effort really showed on this one as you tried to make it a bit more cohesive even with your usual memes! keep it up homie

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much, Sol! Always appreciate your support and thoughts! :D

[@The_Nohal]

You just earned yourself a new Reaper Subscriber! Keep on slicing and dicing, man.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Yoo thank you so much! Slice your way to the top :D

[@The_Nohal]

@@SamTheLemonBoy I mean, I am currently rank 11 Reaper on Abyssos Normal 🤣 So don’t have a lot to improve on that front :p (Still need my P8S clear tho) But I with Reaper I finally feel at home with a job again, so I will keep slicing a long time hopefully! :p

[@TheScarletCross]

I stumbled accross your ranking videos a few days ago and damn, I really like your content ! I really love the smoothness of reaper, but nothing can compete with whm in my heart, even if the class is really clunky.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Yoo thank you so much! It means a lot! :D

[@301SO]

What a fresh way of doing these class overviews! Keep making these! Your hard work is appreciated!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'll hope that I can do more like this in the future, thank for sharing your thoughts! :D

[@andream5462]

This was fun! I picked up reaper to absorb my msq xp for shb and it has been a lot of fun as my first dps job outside of rdm

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'm so glad you think so! and yeah, I am thinking of picking up RDM soon! :D

[@andream5462]

@@SamTheLemonBoy coming from whm, rdm was a lot of fun even though it was particularly squishier than I was used to because I didn't have vercure yet

[@its_deer]

holy balls that avatar bit and voice was so well done

[@chrisironland7050]

Ikr? Now I wish Enshroud had voice lines like that. Maybe not everytime you use it, but like once every encounter/instance

[@Mhoukkie]

Saw your vids in my recommendations and love them, love the humor and its also nice to see a fellow ffxiv EU player too :D

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much! and yes more EU Andies let's go!

[@SirFingerless]

1:10 That was super surreal, I was just using this exact voice in voice mod, testing it out for my character, and then it happened in this video and I was like "wait what?" Great video though, very entertaining and the editing is top tier, nice

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

The future is now! Also thank you so much! :D

[@raviolijesus6181]

Amongst top tier raiders, we all agree that Samurai is the easiest job in the game besides summoner. With samurai you don’t even have any 2min buffs to worry about dishing out..you legit never just stop doing your rotation and you don’t need a fundamental understanding of the game. As top tier reaper, if you line everything up properly you actually out DPS dragoons

[@ronin3070]

I really don't think that. It's the type of "Freestyle Samurai" that do the lowest of rDps. You need to take aware of raid buffs and burst windows as any other class. But with SAM I personally got the Problem, that I dont have an own so continually miss the 120 seconds window.

[@xmixaplix]

SAM has one of the smoothest straightforward rotations I've ever played. Damage aside from all DPS class, it's less chaotic and forgiving to a degree. Reaper is like if a SAM, DRK, and a RDM have a orgy and that's why your optimization seemed chaotic and unforgiving at times. My experience is I got to worry about keeping the debuff up, make sure my arcane circle is popped constantly, not capping on my resource / proc shroud and make sure not to mess up the gib/gallow, and proc arcane circles dmg all the while the timers in between doesn't expire. Oh and I got to proc that range ability for a free throw before battle 🤔 is there anymore micromanaging Yoshi-P need to throw at us? I'm already playing DDR with boss mechanics and now I got to be even more conscience about my own class mechanics 😂

[@CmonstahxD]

That's an interesting take , I personally find reaper to be the easiest of the melee, I find samurai to be middle of the road along with drg, and monk and nin I find take the most attention . Viper I feel like is right there with Sam for me.

[@brendonsabbe4851]

Never been so entertained learning a class

[@akaiYaMa9]

Nice editing. The blue bar cutscenes was sick 😷

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much, that means a lot! :D

[@CulturedDegenerate]

Funny man make meme, brain release dopamine, life good. Seriously though the few vids I've seen from you are really well done. Funny but still informative. Keep up the good work!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Commenter comments nice things, gives a reason as to why the comment nice things and share their opinion, I smile and accept, I thancc! :D

[@Gemini_Godhand]

Whilst leveling up I never got into a comfortable rotation with Reaper because by the time I did everything died. Practicing double Enshroud shredded Fate farming.

[@theikachi]

as a fellow reaper enjoyer, this class is so freaking funny to play, even more than samurai, still i think the class need a buff, just be more easy to access to Spoky Slides, i mean, Enshroud and the class would be on fire! still, im gonna play it with my friends when they need a DPS, great video!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Reaper and many other DPS jobs beside it need a little boost from Squeenix, but yeah, we'll see what happens, definitely one of the more fun job designs and aesthetic. And thank you so much! :D

[@vaynearior]

I chose reaper as my first ever melee class some time ago, and recently decided to level up dragoon and HOLY FUCK this class has so many things to press. I don't even know where half my shit is, why do i have to constantly run around the boss to do positionals, why do i have to constantly renew the shit buff every 30 seconds instead of just stacking it to 60 like reaper, my fingers hurt x_x

[@jonclark7537]

What is that glam at 2:17 looks dope I want it

[@ZaBoiii1620]

I just started this game, yes I skipped and bought a class but only so i could gain access to rpr. Technically rpr is my starting class. Today is day 5 and this video helped me learn my rotation.

Great and unique editing as always But I have a question, how often do you fanta?

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much, it means a lot! And also, for legal reasons, I am not allowed to answer that question

[@celalshakon]

I really like the machinima inspired classroom bits, but it does feel like you have a new character every other vid

[@MasterPancakes]

I've been a SAM main since I started playing the game a couple years ago. Reaper fucking murdered SAM and left it in a ditch. I love my edgy fuck boy.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Old habits die hard

[@-DeadFunk]

Nice Vid

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much :D

[@SmolGui]

I need no other class when I have edginess and double/triple enshroud

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

You have my respect, I do not know how to triple Enshroud to save my life

[@Saba-um5fu]

Nice video so funny and so true! Reaper forever 💕

[@burnersforhim]

i absolutely love reaper and have been maining it since launch, but i gotta admit i was hoping for the enshroud + voidsent attacks to be earned through a dragoon style combo. i just want more complexity on the job, even if that means less enshroud windows.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

It would be interesting to make it a more complex job, but it's nice to have an easier job for each job role

[@Lunarfly_streams]

Reapers story seriously shoulda focused on your Void sent packt, get you to know them better

[@fthenri]

i dont even know the game but your video made me laught a lot, points for the game

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'm so glad I could entertain you, even when you don't know the game, that is a huge goal! :D

[@celticlord88]

As a reaper main, it's the perfect class for 6.x patch

yet you use songs that are mainly for sam with reaper like the song of vergil and the song of jetstream sam, both katana users

Do ... do people really struggle that much with the DRG rotation? I play the job as my main DPS role and I never had a problem with it. Or is that just my FromSoft poisoned gamer-brain not registering the pain anymore?

Not a giant roe or an edgy xaela au'ra so not the best reaper player to exist

By level 90 you find that using your 123 combo is essential pointless as at tgat point your just skill weaving. Also controller Players i know hate reaper. While pc its brain dead. Too many buttons to hotbar swap im told
