I just wanna say to start with i love how the expansion is going and the new class/spec’s are good fun but i feel i have to point out atm the lack of condi removal from rev and its ability now to be a condi applying class since Anet has already said they wanted to take us away from the zerker meta (shame because the real condi classes were ACTUALY real condi classes then) now im not a PvE player i only WvW and since condi classes are the meta for roaming atm i took my beta weekend and wanted to build the rev as it is now into a condi class and at the moment its Eh its pretty weak and you have almost no condi removal as a rev you feel pretty much pushed into a corner since every class has ranged condi application and as a rev your ranged condi skills are pretty weak and since the changes to Mallyx you have very bad cc to help you fight with and very bad ways to deal with any conditions applied to you i like were rev is in its zerker place but atm that’s all rev is the condi side of rev is very weak to the point where running Mallyx even in a condi build is pointless now one of the best parts of Mallyx was the displacement aoe that gave you breathing space and a way to fight burst heavy classes that get ontop of you chill dosnt cut it against a thief or glass warrior or necro alone because they all have Realy good condi clears just to name a few.
in the end Anet you have driven Rev into a zerker only meta where using shiro and another legend to help you burst down someone before they burst you so to close it
This is JUST my opinion and i may have to deal with it but i gotta say it
1. Bring back Mallyx Displacement if you want rev to be anymore then zerker
2. Give Rev’s Some REAL condi removal thats not just in ventari or on a heal skill (swapping legends only clears 1 condi????) (and staff 4 didnt even wanna clear any condi’s sometimes)
3. Resistance is not a real way to deal with condi’s if its only short duration if your gonna take away Mallyx pulsing condi’s back to people why keep Pain Absorption a thing it didnt work with necro why do it with Rev no one wants condi’s from other people if we cant do anything with them at our control not on a 25% chance when hit to copy them to another target for 3 sec is that a joke?
4.Replenishing Despair is a joke 127hp heal on a 1 sec internal cool down is pointless even people that are not condi classes will do more then that with just casual condi application now i understand this one could get very op very fast maybe take away the internal cool down and make its a % heal? or even keep the internal and make it a % heal so its worth looking at
SO in the end condi Rev is weak since the mallyx changes yes but since we have no ranged condi weapon give us back the displacement so we have a way to fight people up close
i hope you listen Anet i love rev its good fun to play but being only able to play power builds does kinda suck
keep up the fantastic work
