Reaping + Fortified/Teeming

Gameplay Dungeons, Raids and Scenarios

Both make Reaping exponentially harder to deal with and there’s a massive difference between Reaping on Tyrannical and on Fortified. This is no small difference as was promised. The Reaping mobs having the extra health makes them harder to deal with.

And with Teeming the problem is that the extra mobs ALSO spawns a Reaping add, which in turn makes there be an overwhelming amount of them.

This week there is both. So there are more Reaping mobs with higher health.

Make Reaping mobs get half the base health of the mob without the Fortified bonus and make Teeming mobs unable to spawn a Reaping add.

Both of these are affecting the Reaping affix making it harder to deal with despite it being supposedly unaffected by other affixes since it’s so strong.

Which reminds me that I have seen Reaping mobs spawn Explosive Orbs right before they got into melee, so there is a bug affecting them with some affixes under the right circumstances. If there is a bug with one there might be similar bugs with others and Grievous + Reaping mobs is just too horrible to contemplate.

afaik, reaping mobs do spawn with 50% of there base health. after being modified by keystone level. thus not by the presented affixes, Mob A during a tyranical weak will spawn a reaped mob with the same health as it would’ve during a fortified week.
reaped mobs spawning orbs would be an issue yes. and i think you should buckle op for the grievous weeks :slight_smile:

99% sure Reaping was hotfixed a couple weeks back to not be affected by Fortified.

They gain from Fortified in the sense they gain 50% of the mob’s modified, with Fortified, health.

It’s true that them theyself never get the Fortified Affix.

They still get a secondary benefit from it however.

And with Grievous weeks I’m get a DK tanking since Warriors tanks with their utter lack of self healing in unable to remove the bleed.

They do not:
“Whenever you kill an enemy, their spirit will spawn above their corpse, untargetable, and with half the base health of that enemy - BEFORE modifications like Fortified, AFTER modifications from Keystone Level.” (https:// raider . io/news/16-the-weekly-route-reaping-guide"

The bleed it dispelable, warrior are completely fine with this affix.

Wait, what? When did they make Grievous dispellable? :open_mouth:

In a way he’s correct. It get auto,atically dispelled once you’re above 90% health.

And since Warriors lack any kind of reliable selfhealing they can do nothing about it.

A DK can, they can remove it several times during a fight if they’re lucky as their selfheal can take them above 90%.

It was a lot more maneagable back when I had Mannaroth’s Bloodied Vambraces since I even with that small heal could hit 90% and remove the massive damage from the DoT. Now I can just die instead and have to rely 100% on others.

Well according to how reaping works their counted as Guardians which means most if not all affixes ignores the mechanics. Even teeming since the mobs who are part of teeming don’t spawn ghosts… Reapings fun and easy.

I’m glad I was mistaken about their health, still does nothing to affect the amount of Reaping mobs being affected by Teeming, so yes they still gain benefit from at least one affix.

Also the bleed is only removed when the target goes above 90% health, and since the only choice for warriors is dying slower, the DoT makes a royal mess of us.

Its not even griveous week this week though why is it even mentioned.
Just get a better healer then. I have 0 problem with keeping tank up on grievous weeks. And im constantly playing with a guardian druid.

As for reaping its a ridiculously easy affix. The only time we had problems was when some of the normal mobs were still alive when they spawned. There didnt seem to be too many explosives when they came so im not sure they would be affected by that affix.
Its definietly not affected by fortified though. Couple more ghosts? So what? More fun to aoe it down for dps, cause thats all they are good for. Whats the problem then? They are super easy to deal with if tank just gets dispelled on cooldown.

I meant the reaping debuff which i applied by melee hits. I assumed he was talking about the combination of reaping debuff + grievous making it hard for prot warrior (since topic started with a complaint about reapings interaction with other affixes).
However, warrior are still nice for grievous since they have one of the strongest mitigations which allows healers to heal them up while they take barely any damage for several seconds.

The only affixes that affect reapong are “enviromental”;
Quakes will still be ongoing.
Grievous will be in play.
Fortified gives them minor dmg and hp… but since they already deal low damage it’s negligable unless it’s a really high key.

So unless you have some other “ordinary” mobs, most effects won’t trigger since the ghosts are considered as guardians. I’m acctually unsure with necrotic, but we will have to see for ourselves since some guardians do apply it.
