“Might makes Right” – the ability to commit an act is sufficient justification to do it.
Rev vs Condis
-play meta invocation rev with runes of the surging
-don’t 1v1 condi specs
-stay in team fights
-plus 1 all the time
As of right now, you have to just avoid them completely if they are coming from someone who is dishing them out constantly with proper stat allocation into making them potent.
After all the nerfs to rev sustain the class needs some form of condi clear accessible to the meta builds. It used to be that rev had quite a bit of evades, and was extremely mobile which helped deal with this. This is no longer the case.
1. Pick one of the other less powerful classes, like warrior
2. Save one of your six disjoints for the hard hitting enemy condi drops like skull crack and necro spin.
3. stand near your shout ele (only works for small amounts of condis)

Made it to legendary league solo queue using hammer zerker rev with only 1 condi clear. You don’t need anymore than that lol. You just need to kill them before they can apply a ton to you. You just need to avoid 1 vs 1 this specific classes
1.) Mesmer (Confusion Mesmer, Strong vs Power Rev)
2.) Engineer (Applies a ton of Condis if using pistol Very Strong vs Power Rev)
3.) Necro (Applies condition and is able to take a ton of damage but not as strong as condi engi or condi Mesmer)
Other condi builds are manageable with Invocation and …. Staff 4. You can also put purity/generosity as weapon sigils but they tend to lower ur dps which gives the condi classes more time to put more condis on you.

Really? a hammer? hmm from fighting other revs hammer it is very predictable from what i seen, but guess ill give it a shot.

Run Leadership Runes when you see a team with 2+ condi classes. You have a condi clear on legend swap and Staff 4.
I kind of wish Cleansing Sigil was in PvP but if you’re having that much trouble consider running Generosity and/or Purity Sigils at the cost of some DPS. Not worth it IMO, at which point it’s probably either a matchup, player skill or rotation problem.
Spam through your rev skills, melt your opponent, repeat so your opponent never gets to drop his condi’s on you.

Other than not engaging in the first place this is the only way to reliably fight condi, except condi mesmer. Damage is split between clones and they have every type of active defense in the game. Other than running around in circles dodging clones, against a good condi mesmer going ham with the damage doesnt work.
If the invulnerbility was removed or coulnt be used while cc’d and 2 of the precision strike projectiles were guaranteed to hit the target then there wouldnt be a problem.
Even something as little as increasing the number of condis cleansed in invocation from 1 to 2, or the cleanses specifically removing damaging conditions like what thief got after its condi issues was finally looked at, it would go a long way without having to actually nerf mesmser.
Even with the piles of evades, invluns and blocks avoinding condis is pretty much impossible in this meta. Your goal as a rev isnt so much to drop them its to manage your healing and know when you should disengage. You have a 2 condi drop/heal on staff 4 you heal when you hit your target from behind, you have heal when you swap legend under 50% energy, you drop a condi when you swap legends, you have 2 heals on shield. And you can constantly pop regen. Rev is about managing CDs and energy at all times. You can actually produce a lot of self sustain even while under pressure by using your various heal skills/regen during kiting. Popping regen and shield 5 can keep you alive for a very long time for example. The issue with a lot of revs is they start blowing their heals too quickly when they need to be using their various short CD skills first.
