The Reaper

Have to preface this with I am absolutely loving the new Reaper minion. It's a lot of fun. I had two potential ideas for it to allow it to keep up with other minion spam builds.

1. Death's scythe - a soul wrest style item that grants summon Reaper that is separate to the gem allowing you to run two reapers with separate slash cooldowns. Build one for clear and one for bossing etc

2. Have the Reaper summon it's own minions when it kills that it can devour for extra damage or health there by allowing people to entierly build around the Reaper without having to worry about other minions as the Reaper is single target and the reapers minions are for clearing.

#2 is a very interesting idea...although since it is a Reaper it doesn't really make sense for it to be raising other minions from a lore perspective.


I really like the idea of having an entire set of uniques that changes the behavior/skills of The Reaper. For example, have a set of rings similar to the herald rings that all have different reaper effects. Also, it needs treatment like the Primordial jewels for golems.

The link exists already. It's a meal for the Reaper :)
