Guild Wars 2

Agreed, came up against one today, it just stood there and soaked up the damage we got it down to about 20% health then suddenly it had every boon known and health was full, and it ran off, there is tanking then there is this.

Well b4 we call it OP one must understand how it works, so that u may compare it to the rest

I can see how it works, it has nearly unbeatable heal and sustain.

If you heal him with your burst, it’s kinda your fault.

And it dies to condition damage and boonstrips. And it doesn’t really have Stability.

Don’t panic.

I have yet not met a single revenant that was too tanky.

This is the perfect example of l2p. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infuse_Light

He might be too strong in certain areas, and too weak in others, but as long as those enormous l2p-problems exist, it is really hard to tell.

Like you did with every other profession: Learn to read your opponent. Learn what they are doing, and what their strength and weaknesses are. Then counter them and kill them.

So basically that person used the revenant equivalent of Defiant Stance. Nobody complains about defiant stance because it’s easy to work around.

As for Herald being tanky, it would have been using clerics or sentinels and I seriously doubt it’s any tankier than a staff ele using either of those amulets or even a guardian.

uhm.. I said herald, not revenant. I’m talking about the melee necro.

Melee necro is Reaper.

Herald is the elite Revenant spec.

wrong name, oops

herald is a very good dueler, strong in 1v1s but the impact in teamfights is medium. herald also dies quite fast 1v2 so in my opinion, yes he is strong, no he is not broken and doesn’t need nerfs.

herald is also quite hard to play and requires a high amount of apm.
