[3.26] CheapBunny's Dual Crit Reaper of Eviscerating Necro | The Dark Monarch | Maata's Teaching

Unlike the original skill, the Reaper of Eviscerating does not attack automatically. However, the ultimate dash command ability no longer has a cooldown, with higher mana cost and lower cast speed.

Because of the no cooldown property of the skill, the optimal way to play it is to be able to spam it, and hence scaling hit damage is necessary.



The Dark Monarch has great synergy with this version of Reaper, it double the number of Reaper we can have, it essentially double the skill dps since we are scaling hit damage.

The of down side of Dark Monarch does not really concern Reaper build, because she will weaken and consume other non-Reaper Minion, so she does not really need other non-Reaper minions.

To be able to spam Reaper's Ultimate as fast as possible, we will need to scale both cast speed and minion's attack speed, this is because Reaper's attack will be omitted if our cast speed is faster than its attack speed, she will only dash around before finishing her attack.

So source of buff that can scale both cast speed and minion's attack speed is very valuable to the build. One of the biggest source is flesh offering. By default, flesh offering only grant your minion attack/cast/movement speed. When paired why Leash of Oblation unique belt, the bonus will also applied to you, essentially scaling both cast speed and minion attack speed.



Since we are going to scale flesh offering buff, I decided to go triple offering to gain the most out of it, by using Queen's of Hunger.



With Queen's Hunger, Leash of Oblation, and enough investment into skill effect duration, both the char and Reaper will get following from the offering
i) Attack Speed/Cast Speed
ii) Attack Block/Spell Block
iii) Critical Chance and Crit Mult

Dual Reaper of Eviscerating is scaling hit damage, which can benefit from crit (from Spirit Offering), so I decided to go crit for this build. Maata's Teaching become an obvious weapon choice because of this.



Another source that can boost cast speed and minion's attack speed is Haste Aura.

In 3.26, Summon Reaper of Eviscerating: Quality bonus has been changed to cause Minions to have 40% chance to Aggravate Bleeding on targets they Hit with attack. 40% might seems low, but we have 2 Reapers, essentially making both Bleed Chance and Aggravating chance to be lucky. Without enough cast speed/minion attack speed, we can apply aggravated bleed quite consistently.

Since we are scaling crit, we can use the juicy Critical Strike Affliction Support as well, it provides 109% dot mult, which is almost all you need for a dot build. What's make it better is Dual Reaper also essentially makes our Reaper crit chance lukcy.

Unlike normal Reaper build, Reaper of Eviscerating is a mana consuming skill, especially when we are scaling so much cast speed, so I use Eldritch Battery
to solve the mana issue.

I chose Necromancer ascendancy because of Essence Glutton provide all the ES regen the build need while consuming/having corpse around.


To generate enough corpses for offering and Essence Glutton buff effect, we use
Corpse Walker boots and desecrate (while bossing).
