Need tips/ help

[Xenly]

I'm trying to do reaper quests. I'm running to the problem of low dps. Mobs with 30k+ hp are out living me. Doing quest on EE no problem don't even have to try really. But once I go into epic reaper quest. I'm running into problems. Only on my 2nd life. Have ok gear but mostly struggling. I think I'm doing ok with gear. Not good but not bad ether. I was doing ok on some quest. Or do you think. I'm jumping into reaper too soon? Any tips on how to get past this skill wall I've hit?

I think we would need more information regarding your build and gear, specially your weapon. It is true that Reaper in early epic is specially punishing to new players, so you could hold up a little until you get a couple of levels, Having a hireling for heals also helps a lot and learning how to use them without dying is a skill too xD.

Gear & build help a ton. Joining a party also helps. But one thing to think about is the differences of your level vs quest level. In heroics folks tend to go into r1 at base + 2 level for max delving bonus; in epics/legendary, you can do base + 4 for max delving bonus. So if you do some EH/EE (whatever feels good) and then when you're level 24+ start redoing the level 20+ base quests on reaper. That'll give you some extra power from ED trees to help.

What rabid said. I'd add to this by saying every character I run reaper on no matter what class, I tend to spend my reaper points to get the core 4 of the con/defense tree.

My focus on low reaper points toons with physical damage is to focus on the reaper momentum specially on range toon, and on melee that are not able to get to 100 double strike yet and the rest on the defensive tree until I get 21 points spend on the tree and cores

In reaper quest I stick to same level or maybe 1 level above me. I do use a healer follower but mostly sit them at the entrance. Due to dieing. Then use them to heal/cure me. But 95% they die if helping me. Using elite followers. If need more info let me know. Still trying to learn what I need to have stepping into epic/legendary quests. If need more or difference stats let me know. Mostly looking for all class. To the start. Whether it's a caster, melee, or ranged. Mostly so I know what stat need just stepping into them.

Do you have access to any expansions (exc Shadowfell & Menace of the Underdark)?

Also what ED's (Epic Destinies) are you doing?
