Fact 2: The GM trait that gives 50% crit chance when under Fury means in organized groups with permanent Fury and Banner of Discipline the Rev can get to 100% crit chance without going deeper than 2 into the Precision Line.

Wrong fact there, the trait does NOT give 50% crit chance for fury, it gives 50% MORE crit chance and since fury is standard 20%, that mean you get another 10%, ie fury will give 30% crit chance

That isn’t how it worked in the beta. But nice try.

If it really gives 50% MORE crit then there is really no point is rolling any class other than revenant. Might as well just remove them at that point.

Necromancer already has an identical trait (50% crit chance boost in Death Shroud) and it has done wonders for them in the PvE meta.

Obviously his comment makes no sense for other reasons. But this trait is clearly vastly superior to deathly perception. Having perma fury is much easier to do and allows you to get the bonus everywhere. Compared to necros having to camp DS which is really limited in options and isnt even the absolute best source of damage.

Apparently someone found out the datamined chat codes for Revernant weapons have changed a bit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/336lgd/revenant_dagger_skills_have_changed/

Dagger skills are different and quickness on block has changed to knockdown on block.

Sword now grants Vulnerability on Autoattack, the 2 skills to block projectiles or something, and 3 is probably the same teleport spam attack but it now grants might on hit. It no longer applies torment and burn.

I think it’s safe to say Sword will work the best with a traditional zerker set now.

Rev is better than 5 classes especially necro, they have $$ on their mind too. The significant thing it that it’s two at a time.

We knew about it for a while now.. and sword damage doesnt look all that impressive yet unless it can hit 2x like in the tooltip. Im more interesed in Ossa shield skill

I was making that point that the trait in a vacuum is meaningless. The necro trait, while not identical, is similar enough. It’s similar enough that if the Revenant version was so OP that it would make 5x Revenant meta you’d think that it would do something for Necro. You seemed to interpret that I was saying the necro trait is amazing, but my sarcasm went undetected; I was saying how irrelevant the trait is.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the numbers. While the overall concept of a weapon set might be set early on, the numbers are going to be jumping all over the place until launch and overall I like the concept of the sword we’re seeing right now.

No, I did detect your sarcasm. I just didnt like to leave it unsaid because in reality they shouldnt be compared due to how vastly superior one is to the other. I felt compelled to say something even though i knew you didnt need to be be told specifically. Forgive me. :P
