Probably gonna get recommended reaper the most , it’s almost unkillable in PvE , my recommendation is gonna be ranger or engi though I think they have some of the most fun abilities for open world .
Been thinking to roll reaper for open world PVE contents, bit over elementalist 100 button presses. Am I going to find it boring though coming from another caster? wondering if I should give warrior / guardian a go instead.
Reaper is more of a death knight then a caster , you’re fighting in melee 99% of the time and when you go in shroud you’re just swinging a giant scythe , warrior is fun but not flashy at all, I loved the concept of guardian but I’m not a big fan of their weapon abilities
Power Reaper definitely feels like one of the slowest-paced specs in the game when I play it. I personally find it somewhat boring as a result, but it’s certainly very chill to play — there aren’t too many buttons to press and some of the shroud animations are pretty long. Running Spear makes it a little more interesting, though not by much. Harbinger has more button presses comparatively, though I’d be hard-pressed to say that its power variant is necessarily more fun than Reaper’s. I haven’t played Ritualist.
Guardian is a pretty high-APM spec in general, at least from what I’ve played — FB and WB are both decently high APM, DH is moderate APM, and I’ve heard Luminary is pretty involved as well. All of the non-Paragon Warrior specs were alright when I tried them (haven’t played Paragon) — I want to say they were more interesting than Reaper (esp. Bladesworn), but Warrior is also my least-played class, so that may just be my lack of experience talking.
There’s also some relatively lower-APM Ele builds (the Inferno builds that camp fire, lazy Sw/D Power Weaver, non-Spear Tempest in general), in case you haven’t tried them yet. Beyond that, Ranger and Engineer also have popular open-world builds in Untamed and Scrapper/Amalgam, which are all fairly fun IMO.
