Reaver good or bad?

I'm not sure if it is just me, but Reaver seems to struggle to fight anything solo at low levels. Is this why nobody plays them? lol

Re: Reaver good or bad?

They're the class I really want to like. I feel like they're ok at doing a lot of things, but not amazing at anything at all. As a shield peeler they are outclassed by Arms and to a lesser extent pallies. As an interrupter they are outclassed by theurgs. The biggest perk to bringing a reaver is that they can guard a target while still putting out max dps, unlike Arms/Pals who need to put away their big toys to guard.

I think it takes a very dedicated person to make a reaver work well.

All that said though, they are a blast at higher levels and are wonderful to have in pve groups as off-tanks for guarding the MT and debuffing all the things. I am currently leveling a reaver as my secondary character, but I'm not sure how much RvR they will get to see outside of zerging due to class metas.

Honestly, despite their lacking attributes to a grp, we need more TWF’s out there. Its such a powerful ability for sieges that our BG’s almost never have.

Yet they rarely get a group in zerg warfare, since everybody wants casters.

Re: Reaver good or bad?

They are a great class. sadly, this custom setting is a really bad one for them. (no slam-Levi-Levi-Levi-Levi... no reaver bomb, etc)

Therefore, if you are a regular Reaver player, you'd probably not enjoy feeling this weak; and if you are just a hybrid lover, VWs and Thanes simply outclass them.

However, they still are great and TWF is excellent.

Re: Reaver good or bad?

Reavers are good debends on how you want to play em. I'm using flex untill i hit 50 then going slash (47.5atm). 40 slash 42 shield 50 SR rest parry. Just the temp will be hard as i want max spell range and spell pierce.

Once u hit rr3 soloing enemy stealths will be nice and simple RRs.

Why not slam levi levi levi?

Levi has no prequisite on this server so it should work imo. Asking because im leveling one right now :D and it is (was!?) stupidly strong i remember.
