no?

hmm 5 skull maybe a little bit harder ,So Let's talk about average to 3 skull .
Btw X BOW surely do well in lowbeis quests ,but when lvlup to 10+,Solo Reaper quest by using X BOW=Death.
and another question is can tree build easily solo skull 5 or above(lvl20-30)?

+1, I am having issues soloing some skull 1 quests because of this.

Its not that I can't take the encounters, its that they catch me by surprise since I'm usually at a jogging pace.

I then have to jibbers, shrine, and keep goin.

If the build has a ton of heals its not a big deal. It depends on the quest, mob density, traps, and layout.

DPS reduction is basically the same thing as inflating the sack of HP again. They didn't make the high skull Reapers more challenging. They made them more boring.

As Lelouch said, it's hard to beat xbows at lower heroics.. A repeater with ranger levels is a lot of dps right out of the gate along with some CC to go with it.

-Helf artificer dilettante can get you all xbow profs and the ability to use no fail conjure bolt scrolls.

-Force arrows can be taken as early as level 2 and remove miss chance for reapers which is pretty huge. Taking down fear reapers quickly is essential to survival.

-Terror arrows work amazingly well at low levels even at reaper 3. I was planning on using them just to fear things as a defensive option, but PK was proc`ing a lot. I think it's due to most things usually dying so quick in heroics you don't have a chance to even see them.

-Unfortunately insightful damage scrolls don't work properly so getting stat to damage would require some investment in harper tree or rogue levels. I will be swapping to bow after I get manyshot and get a few monk levels. By then I'm hoping the dex to dmg will make up for the slower fire rate. I also have a heroic sapphire sting so this should help as well.


I can see warlock being a solid choice as well, but it's a rough start if you plan on actually doing reaper 5 out of the box. Once you get a few levels and some pact damage it gets much easier.

I have found something on cannith crafting,lvl 1 items with Guards. found on Boots, Armor, Shield, Trinket.and do 1d8 dam to enemy,for a total of 4d8≈18dam.It maybe help a lot in lowbies quest.

You may get better results if you ask what you're looking for.

Max XP and some reaper xp?
Max Reaper XP per quest?
Max Reaper XP per minute?

Those all have different strategies, where reaper 5 skull may or may not be optimal.

after 12/13 clr or fvs will be nice with heals and BB

I am doing 1/2 skulls lowby solo on a very stupid cleric melee build, i have to assume a lock could do 2 skulls higher than me easily

ps: also depends how equipped and organised you are. I am not and if i was I could do higher skulls (like i dont have ghost touch weapon and I lost my invis belt somewhere etc etc)

If you plan yo use cakes, then no problems doing 5 skull really

also - good fucking luck to get a hireling to survive on skulls and heal you

Best to stick to r3 in the lower lvs... not worth the extra time for the skulls. ...hit lv 12 and hit the r4 r5 quick runs.  Warlock easier mode 12 to 20....repeater builds easier out the gate......1 arti xwarlock best of both.

lv 1 new vorpal with deception repeater with icy festival buff.

Any of my builds are reaper capable

This could have been touched on but, the way i look at it is;
I want to run high reaper for posterity and maximise my life/Rxp ratio but still keep it at a timely pace. Obv. imo if you want to run high end reaper solo you are going to sacrifice loads of time so id suggest a charmer sorc. Thats what ive come to the conclusion of running.
I run 4-6 skull with a hire mostly some i dont dare go that high. Just tossing charm as you zerg and web or really any CC has gotten the job done for me for the last 15 or so lives till i figured out my niche.
ive given up on not dying i just make it  a practise to die ideally, where i can sprint to a good spot past w/e and raise.
