Rev advice for high latency?
So i play with roughly 300-360 ping most of the time, and I’m trying out rev in spvp. Any suggestions on a lag friendly build that can work around my latency? I tried the metabattle power shiro build but chaining attacks just feels heavy. (swapping to staff take half a second, and then pressing 5 takes another half a second before it casts)
If you want to drive on the highway, you need a car that travels faster then 15mph.
So, fix internet and stay in HotJoin…
What does the FOX say¿!
On rare occasions when my ping goes higher than 150-200 (my avg. normal ping is 80), everything just starts being so sluggish and unresponsive, it’s impossible to play a fast-action class like Revenant or Thief with such ping. I’d not recommend doing it with your ping. If that’s the only ping you get, I suggest trying playing slower bunker classes.
I don’t usually play Sunday because of my ping, 100 90 is unplayable for me.
Forget about Rev…
I have a lot of experience playing with high latency, this is one of the few builds in GW2 you can play with 200+ and still do fine:
Not unusual to get top dmg and condi dmt dealt stats after match, an absolute beast in team fights and can win 1v2s too. Trick is learning when to flash shroud and when to go into shroud and stay there. Flashing shroud triggers your Hydro+Leeching or Geomancy sigils, gives you fury, RETALIATION!, bleeds (2) cripples and weakens everybody around you and also corrupts 2 boons per target, at the price of waiting 10 more seconds before having shroud available, and you can do this at the start of the first fight because your heal lets you gain LF when the countdown starts… Soul Reaping spec is not missed due to the great LF generation from shout heal and spectral armor plus the shroud flashing nature of the build. Suffer>Plague Signet in some situations, and it has a very short CD. Way too easy to play, almost no mistake is punished and actually works anyway because everything is AOE and triggers something else.

It’s the definition of garbage at its finest. It will only ever kill AFK players and really terrible ones.

You can just take any rev build and roll your face around on your keyboard. doesnt really matter wich skills come through, your passives will do most of your work.
Jokes aside, in order to actually be helpful: there is a support build based on ventari somewhere out there. It might not be as powerful, but perhaps less responsive.
You might also consider to unplug your computer from the internet and instead save outgoing data on a flash drive and send that to anet via mail.
Playing from the other side of the planet requires workarounds. I know certain builds that require twitch responses just wont work with high latency

Rev doesnt have a hammer. Its the only one profession in game without ranged weapon

Hammer Rev is much weaker then Staff. Staff gives Evades, Blocks and also the extrem Strong Staff 5. Not to forget about rare Condicleanse and a Stun.
Some classes like rev or especially thief are very problematic to play with lags.
Some blocks flatout fail to block. then i go down and blocks come out.. its funny sometimes. #laglife

Well the only one class i can think of being decent with high ping is reaper.. Slow, facetank playstyle while you drinking coffee. Make sure to get aimbot option for marks and done

I’ve actually had decent winstreaks with signet reaper. Just like you said, facetank and just randomly place marks and stuff dies. It abit ridiculous how some classes are so lag friendly and others are almost unplayable.
