TheReaper's Mark was mentioned in the Athena's Fortune novel written by Chris Allcock. In the novel, the Pirate Lord received a necklace with a "Reaper's Mark" on it as a parting gift from his long-time crewmate Mercia. The necklace was hinted to contain the magic behind the Pirate Lord's ability to live on as a Ghost beyond death. Presumably this effect could be bestowed upon any Pirates that received his favour as Pirate Legends.
Although the appearance or shape of the Reaper's Mark was never remarked upon in the novel, the video game has decided to show it in the Shape of a Skull. The Pirate Lord's necklace and the insignia of the Athena's Fortune Trading Company appears to be that of the Reaper's Mark, depicted in the ghostly green tones of the Pirate Legends in the Athena's Fortune Hideout. The Reaper's Mark also seems to be the logo of the Sea of Thieves video game itself.
Outside the Pirate Lord and Athena's Fortune, it seems that the Reaper's Mark seems to have an entirely different effect on any pirates. First of all, any items with the Reaper's Mark will become cursed with an ominous red smoke that will disclose the location of that item to any and all Pirates on the Seas. This is mostly displayed on the Map Table of a Ship. The Reaper's Mark appears to be related to the mysterious Reapers who have set up their own Trading Company the Reaper's Bones at The Reaper's Hideout. The Reapers are a group of vicious Pirates who wish nothing more than to serve the wishes of the Skeleton Lord Captain Flameheart and oppose any and all other Trading Companies. The Reapers value Pirates who are daring enough to risk their lives by taking on the Curse of the Reaper's Mark on their Ships. It seems that the magic behind the curse of the Reaper's Mark is what envelops the base of the Reaper's on the Reaper's Hideout. The Reaper's Mark has also been seen to interact with any Skeleton Glyphs with a red hue.
There are two Chests in-game that bear the Reaper's Mark: The Reaper's Chest and the Reaper's Bounty. These two Chests mainly appear in sunken Shipwrecks and are cursed to display their location at all times on the Map Tables of any Ship. Untouched, these two Chests shoot out light pillars into the sky - green and red for the Reaper's Chest and golden yellow for the Bounty. When picked up, the light pillars will disappear, but the location of the chests will still be visible on the Map. These chests can also be acquired from a finished Fort of the Damned Vault and dug up from Skeleton's Orders Quests. These Chests are only valuable to the Reaper's Bones Trading Company, who seem to open these chests to uncover Skeletal remains for mysterious rituals.
Any Crews that wish to Represent the Reaper's Bones Trading Company as Emissaries will be cursed with a Reaper's Mark. Their Ship and its Emissary Grade will be visible for all Crews on the Map Table. Once Reaper's Bones Emissaries reach Grade V Reputation, they will be rewarded with the power of the Reapers, which shows the shadowy locations of ALL other Emissary Ships on their Ship's Map Table.
It would be fine stat wise for Crucible but I doubt it would work well, because of class/set limitations. I changed my mind about trying to optimize it, it just seems to me that Deathmarked Reaper is not going to be Infiltrator/Trickster/Blademaster level autoattacking beast because of the class combo/gear limitations. So I think your draft is fine, you can of course twinkle some stuff in it.
Mark Target reduces an enemy's armor and spell resistance. If an enemy dies while under the effects of this ability, your Health is fully restored. Mark Target does not count as an attack, and casting it on an enemy will not cause them to notice you. The Piercing Mark morph increases the duration and allows you to see the marked enemy even if they use stealth or invisibility. Or you can use Reaper's Mark, which increases your damage when the target dies.
Blizzard has shown another set of brand new hero talent trees that will be coming in the next World of Warcraft expansion- The War Within. We will be taking a look as this hero talent tree will be centered around Frost and Blood Death Knights so we will see how much the gameplay will be impacted.
Blizzard has set a lot of high expectations following their reveal of the three next expansions that will be rolled out over the following years. Although the concepts and ideas behind these hero talent trees share similarities with features from previous expansions, it is exciting to see how this will be integrated into retail WoW.
Reaper's Mark travels to an unmarked enemy nearby if the target dies or explodes below 35% health when there are no enemies to travel to. This explosion cannot occur again on a target for 3 minutes.
Wave of Souls: Reaper's Mark unleashes a dark wave towards your target and back, dealing Shadowfrost damage both ways to all enemies caught in its path. Wave of Souls critical strikes cause enemies to take 5% increased Shadowfrost damage for 15 seconds, stacking up to 2 times, and the wave back is always a critical strike.
Shuddering Soul: Reaper's Mark explosion causes a piece of the target's soul to tear out and spiral outwards, dealing 10% of the explosion's damage to enemies it passes through. Enemies hit by this effect deal 5% reduced physical damage to you for 10 seconds.
As more is being revealed regarding the newest World of Warcraft Expansion: The War Within, we are slowly starting to see just how much the scales have changed for Retail WoW. Here is the entire Hero Talent Tree as presented in the most recent blue post.
