New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of doing this job as the first melee you pick? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Reapers how to Reaper properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I’ll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. Endgame is a long way away and there’s lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a time! Then, graduate to more advanced guides.

Thank you all for the support. Follow my twitter and stuff if you want updates. Or the discord or patreon or whatever. Use the links! Sage is next, cya next week I hope!
oh fuck I spit my drink in laughter on the intro. That was amazing dude
your guides have helped me become a better tank in ShB. thanks for your vids and i hope to meet you someday in game and say thanks there <3
Its funny that the sequence of abilities sounds a lot slowet in "karaoke" mode but when I am doing it in game my mind is going a million miles an hours checking my deaths design, watching for aoes, positioning for gallows or gibbet, checking death's design again…
Bravo for the karaoke style!
I bet Wars gonna be hella short haha
looking forward to the mnk guide
What's a Macanist?
I know you mean "machine" ist 
Watching thisnwhole my reaper 90 and geared up. It's pretty a good guide. But for those thinking it's confusing not ar all you'll pick it up rather quick as you learn the rotations .
Thanks for these videos. Without these I could never learn any jobs lol
Nice to see you so early back to your videos. They really helped me understand the jobs when I started in shadowbringers
I. WAS. WAITING!!!!
The karaoke version of the rotation was VERY helpful!
Hey Albert, I'm curious now if you're going to re-tool your guides for the lvl 90 abilities for all classes or if reaper and sage are just new additions
It truely is the most risky Job in the Game for the WoL to use xD
Offer your Body for your Voidsent Avatar to possess, but sure, Black Mage and White Mage are forbidden Jobs by the Councel of Hearer
Thank you dude, i always wait for your great guides!
Wish you could play these classes from the beginning of the game :/
I always wonder how should I go about the rotation with another reaper in the party, should I hold my rotation till their arcane circle is over??
This really helps reinforce and connect the dots to something i'm sure a lot of players were trying to figure out, based desu !
Really love reaper. Might be the only melee I play after I'm done leveling.
Thanks for breaking it down. Now to find a striking dummy to accost.
Finally!!! I can ascend!
"watch yourself go from this.."
> shows botanist
LOL
This is literally my rotation. I have watched so many guides from that I was finally able to come up with a good rotation on my own.
you mean the dumbest idea you will ever have as a warrior of light so far.
Saying the skills out loud during openers to better understand the speed of use is a great addition to the guides!
Loving the new karaoke bit. Love the guides and looking forward to your sage guide. Just hit Endwalker. Reaper here i come.
I really like the "Karaoke opener" – gives you a better sense of the tempo of the rotation
what is this mog?
Reaper is the only melee dps that I can use at its 100% cause the hotbar gods have blessed it xD
Yess! Wesk Alber kicking off Endwalker guides with Reaper! Can't wait to see the rest of the class guide videos!
The Karaoke Opener Overviews were really awesome and helpful. Thanks for doing that.
on a scale from one to ten, i give you a solid thirty two.
Best guides in the game
Woohoo.. been waiting for your Reaper guide. Best guides out there
Yesssss, love your videos now I can finally play reaper right
This is amazing Alber. I've picked up reaper the other day and haven't been using sould reaper at all since i couldn't read everything cause my friends didn't let me haha. Only reason i don't like playing dps is the queue but other than that it's a very fun job to play!
i cannot wait for the monk guide, i think im starting to get it after the changes but it is quite jarring
Good going, carry on
I'm having so much fun with RPR as a DRG main, its so smooth even in the 70's
I see rotation guide I give a like! The master has return with his godlike rotation! I'm still waiting for other jobs rotation
Thanks for the guide man! Was waiting for it!
Thanks!
Me: Hm, Reaper doesn't really seem that interesting, probably not gonna play it.
Also me: New WeskAlber leveling guide let's gooooooooo
me playing as reaper since day one "Wait you have a single target version of the debuff!?"*feels completely dumb*
Best guide maker
