sounds like thief when rev was created. apart from the management bit.

Revenant is like the person who tries to be everything and so they end up sucking at everything or being subpar at everything.

In 2 words :Engineer or Scrapper.

You’ve adequately described Arenanet

Well except for the first year of HoT where they where gods at everything

its funny when you fight a dragon hunter , you cannot stand in traps and you cannot be at range either.

I agree, delete this garbage class and give us new one without wep swap. I dont know who allowed rev to go live when theres 0 synergy in literally everything.

There has always been multiple classes better than rev every season since the expansion.

Rev is/was the most cried about though.

There is no need to delete Revenant to get that though … /GG

Except they were not.
For instance they were always harder to master than current Berserker.
Revenant was actually High Risk/High Reward in its prime, an actual jack of all trades (and master of none but not mediocre like right now) while Zerker right now is just Low Risk/High Reward, you can’t just balance that way. And Rev was only ever popular among top players, their popularity/usage rate among most players has always been low in PvP (Yes most people are in Bronze to Gold). Before they started splitting PvE and PvP Revenant was already gutted by alot of nerfs because ANET kept balancing around a small group of people (ESL).

However, Revenant would be in a “decent” spot right now if everything else was drastically brought down, it should always go like this:

High Risk/High Reward
Low Risk/Low Reward

Rev is actually one of the classes which is balanced, now u just have to read the skills and learn the class, rev is a hard class to learn just like thief, u need pratice and stuff you hardly ever see a thief below 1000 hours who is good so keep your head up…

They don’t need to delete revs, they need to remove elites from pvp and balance core accordingly from there.
Problem with rev generally is that was designed to fill roles of war/thief/guard at the same time. It worked because those classes were nerfed to oblivion/rev was overtuned. Once they brought rev to semi-reasonable levels, the class suddenly struggles to find a niche.
Anet really should decide what rev should be really (one role) instead of trying to make it master of all trades.

haha that was amazing

considering rev needs it’s elite spec for anything even close to a viable build, i feel removing dragon stance would be akin to deleting the class.

i would love to know what kind of a build you would run on core rev if we were restricted to core. i cant think of anything remotely viable.

Herald is bad as it is but core rev is total trash. It was trash in beta, it was trash on release and now it is in even worse shape cause for whatever reason devs didnt nerfed stuff that should be nerfed (stab on dodge as example) in herald and decided to hit core rev even harder. Everyone rush herald cause core rev is literally unplayable.

revenant was Always a broken class that didn’t work with itself on a technical level espically annoying bugs like bieng stuck in a wall however the massive dps and the ability to bunker bust made it passable enough that the equivelant of silver players could actually use it half decently with emphasis on half decently. not kitten but not amazing either. then they absolutely kitten on revenant dps and all of it’s troubles wich weren’t fixed got more visiable to the point that u will see only a few golds actually winning thier 1 v 1’s and not dying by the first and best focus in a teamfight. the nerves made it an high skill floor build which i could accept, if the class was one coherent logical class and not a bugridden nonsensical pile of rubbish that is broken in the most literal sense of the word to the point that only somewhat of above average and better players know how to handle that thing. the reason for the high skill floor is wrong. it’s like any elementalist that tries to use anything else then support.

You conveniently cut out half of the sentence. Read it again, there is your answer.

only because anet and balance is an oxymoron

Rev is actually a really fun class but disappointing that it is so niche or simply ineffective.

It sort of plays like thief but cannot do anything that thief can do nearly as effective. Either needs more stopping power or survival, not gonna pretend I know anything about balance but the class is clearly underpowered.

It has high risk without the high reward imo

!~COMING SOON TO A PATCH NEAR YOU~!
REV BUFF!

-Increasing facet of light duration by .1 seconds!
However a heavy buff like this has to be balanced soo..
-Increasing upkeep of all glint skills by 1

Thanks and enjoy the powerful buff
-Anet.
