How to beat a Reaper

Look at that cheese class!

Prior to the hatred for Reapers comment I got this morning on one of my montage videos, an idea popped into my head, and made me so excited I couldn't go back to sleep. (I was looking at what time it is on my phone just as I woke up and I saw the notification, and literally couldn't go back to sleep. xD)

I would like to offer tips and tricks on how to beat a Reaper, because nothing is more frustrating than getting beat by a class & build that you don't understand. A lot of you guys have beat me with sustainable builds, so John on Condi Reaper/Druid, Mera on Ele/Druid etc. Or way too much CCs like Heralds. I'm not saying my playstyle is all players' playstyle, same goes for my build, but I would love it if at least you guys would be able to beat me. And when you do beat me, you'd get a better knowledge of when to dodge what and all that. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to learn how to play against Condi Reapers too, so I can only tell you what their skills do.

I'm not entirely sure what questions you would have, but anyone who is interested in knowing more or have questions on this, ask me in-game or post it here.

Tl;dr: I'll offer tips by showing everything and anything about my Reaper build and playstyle to you in the Guild Halls Arena.

Aim of the game: Guildies to beat my Power Wells Reaper in duels on different classes. Guildies to hate Reapers less.

I can see where the "cheese" comment is born from. Reapers are just kind of strong against everything right now and it's not too difficult to play it to a decent standard. When I play ranked PvP I play Reaper because it was easy to be competitive with.

In a 1 vs 1, a good catch all counter to Reaper right now is something with high mobility or something with a CC on a low cool down OR!! Make it a not 1 vs 1.

Great kiting, or high CC. If a Ranger/Druid kites well, they can win a fight, or a high CC Rev/Herald works very well against them too. Get out of Reaper's chill stuns, Elite shout skill, and Reaper Shroud 5, they both have a very obvious cast animation. If you get stunned, you're very likely to have wells underneath you.

That's just a few points I can think of off the top of my head, there's loads more, but they're the most obvious ones.
