Reaper beaters

[jortann]

If one was going to craft some weapons for fighting reapers what attributes would he want to put on them?

Thanks!

Cannith? I'd imagine Ghost Touch of Incorp Bane is pretty cut-and-dry

If daggers are ok and you don't mind waiting a couple weeks the spectral dagger (https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Spectral_Dagger) from the endless night festival is really good and you get 4 effects on the level 8+ versions.

A high rate of fire and a 17-20/x3 crit profile.

Reapers are ... Lawful, Evil, Outsiders, Incorporeal.

So anything that does extra damage against those types will help.

Anarchic
Holy
Outsider bane
Incorporeal bane

Roll a sorc/fvs and nuke 'm from orbit.

This is exactly what I use and it is wonderful against reapers also works well against devils and demons .

Minimum level 10 and above you can add vampirism for a little bit of self healing which you typically need when there's a reaper around

Reapers have now too many hit point. And hit stronger than every champion or boss in the quest

U can't beat them

(Think they are lawful outsider evil)

INS Deadly, not vampirism. IC and heavy self-heal penalty do vampirism non-viable in reaper environment. More damage, other hand, always more damage. 8)

Don't forget that you have to kill the regular stuff while you're killing the Reapers too. And some of them are REALLY nasty up close.

So what you're looking for is a weapon that can dish out good damage and bypass the Incorporeal defense that they have and do it from a distance when possible (and still murder them when they are right next to you - thankfully ranged attacks can still do that).

So... Ratcatcher with a Ghostbane augment or Ghostly/hit incorproreal enemies in your other gear/enhancements/feats.

Just to clarify... we can't craft Holy shards anymore right?

U can craft good damage (same as holy was) but uses the same slot of ghost bane

I crafted ghost bane weapon + bludgeon damage till lvl9(ghostly item)

I dont use ghostbane augment

If u have u can craft good damage and bludgeon damage weapon + augment

Ghostbane is ML1 and the Good damage flag augment is much higher level. Better off with Good Cannith crafted damage and a Ghostbane augment instead of a Ghostbane crafted. You'll get more damage out of the weapon and you'll bypass more DR than with Ghostbane on the CC prefix.

Yes you need a ghostbane augment.
U can have it in mabar ebent coming soon or auction house

I dont have and dont want it so i crafted that weapon

But dont play reaper without a form of ghostbane (augment weapon, enhacement trees)
Or u die if u melee or ranged

Casters win here
