I imagine the "Reaping" affix will go like this

"All non boss enemies have a 20% chance to summon a non targetable Valkyr that descends from the sky and executes a random player."

That is fitting...unlikely, but fitting.

Right approach I think, but needs more RNG.

Idk with the way affixes work right now it SEEMS likely

How come Valkyr's don't wear pants? Always running around in thongs for all to see.

No modesty

Okay, latest is fixed on PTR:
All non boss enemies have a 20% chance to summon a non targetable Valkyr WITH GRANDMA PANTIES that descends from the sky and executes a random player.

As people have said it seems fitting but it wouldn't work, especially since you lose time per death. Having an unavoidable mechanic that just RNG killed you would be torture, especially if the targeted player was at random also not "the player who killed the npc"

I can imagine players going into a SoS and pulling the ~8 blob pack and just murdering them and getting bad RNG and just wiping instantly lol.

I didnt mean it seriously, it was joke on how incredibly rigged the affixes can seem sometimes, like they basically guarantee deaths to RNG even if you perform the mechanics otherwise perfectly

Let me fix your RNG issue:
"All non boss enemies have a 20% chance to summon a non targetable Valkyr that descends from the sky and executes a random player."
1.1: Now executes 1-5 players randomly. (was 1)

Sorry, aware that you were talking tongue in cheek. Just playing devils advocate for your idea :D

Turns out they have some potential datamined aura's for Reaping. Looks like it's going to be a mass reflection aura given to a rezzed mob, makes all close mobs deal 75% of received damage back to the attacker.

If this ends up being the case it would actually be more detrimental to specific classes.
Any class that passively cleaves during it's rotation such as Demon Hunter, Fire Mage, or Balance Druid will end up taking decent amounts of unavoidable damage unless they completely gutter their rotations.
