[Class] Reavers

[Faelor]

I can't find the original post, but according to this (http://forums.riftgame.com/showthread.php?643-Reaver-Community&p=76325&viewfull=1#post76325)...



The Reaver is one of the warrior starter souls available to the Defiants and focused on heavy armor. He starts out with a basic set of plate items, a one-hander and a shield, but it seems you are able to equip a two-hander or dual-wield as well right from the start.

As a Reaver you have access to long-lasting self-buffs called bindings, of which only one can be active at a time. The first binding that you get early on increases the damage you deal with each hit. As a warrior soul, the Reaver's main mechanic are attack points, which are basically combo points that build up on the Warrior himself, up to 3 total. At any point you can unleash these attack points with a finishing strike, which get its effect increased with the number of attack points.

The signature ability of the Reaver is to spread death and diseases in the form of damage-over-time abilities like Blood Fever and Soul Sickness, two actual ability names that you start out with. He later gets access to a few AOE skills, threat-increasing abilities, as well as very limited self-healing.
Yes please!

I gotta agree, Reavers sound 100% badass.

Working on my Void Reaver now

[Decay]

Is it just me or does it seem like a combination of those abilities makes it almost impossible for the Reaver to lose aggro?

Grim Lure - 8 sec cooldown - 3 sec taunt
Concussion - 6 sec cooldown - 3 sec AE taunt
Incite - which doesnt list a duration yet.

And by taunt I mean it says, "Forces enemies to attack the warrior".

Granted its pre-beta but that seems kinda good.

Don't nerf me just yet.
