Do you never get tired of your nerf DH threads?
Anyway, you play DH and I’ll play Rev. You can guess which one will win but I’ll give you a hint, not the DH. The so OP profession has a hard counter! Who would have thought!
Revs aren’t even our biggest weakness. Any decent ranger/engi can kill us with ease.
Sorry man, but I played guardian for more than 4k hours over the past 3 years and 9 months. Unless the Dragonhunter is a mender bunker, which the Rev will eventually kill, any other DH will die to a power Revenant. Gimmick full trapper you can count down, they die roughly in 20 seconds, once all their defenses are down.
Plz, plz, plz guys elighten a noob about this issue! I’ve recently picked up rev for pvp but I’m even ‘noober’ on it than on other classes so I ofc get obliterated by anyone who the game gives me as an opponent based on my MMR. Including DHs… so what guidelines can you offer me (strategy is enough, I’ll figure out the mechanical part by myself)?

If you started playing Revenant just now, you will want a bit of safety to engage fights. For that, I’d recommend to use Retribution over Invocation. An interesting build to start, while the opposing team have dragonhunters is this one:

Hardening Persistence, Eye for an Eye, Versed in Stone and the Leadership rune, which will increase all your stats, should give you a good margin to deal with the unexpected.
First thing to do is try to recognize the build the dragonhunter is running: power symbolic, mender symbolic, full trapper or meditrapper and if using long bow or not. If the DH is using long bow, you want to close the distance as soon as possible but still do it carefully, remember that you get stab on dodge, so that will help you in case activate the trap Test of Faith, which a good guard will try to push and pull you across it for damage.
Another thing to keep in mind: keep a close eye to the DH animations or simply hear the fx sounds to know when they are laying down traps.
If is a full trapper, just let them drop all traps in the point then use staff #3 or #5 to activate them all. Mist of Surge will take you out of the danger zone, away from the PoB and ToF range. They will only have heal and the F 1-3 skills now.
Start to peel the guard, I simply auto attack a few times with the sword which will hit hard enough to make their health drop below 40%. From my experience that’s usually when the majority will use Wings of Resolve (F2) to run away from you then they will drop Purification for heals. That’s a good time for you to use staff #2 quickly to activate Debilitating Slam to daze them and interrupt the Wings of Resolve or simply let them heal up and use Shield of Courage while you auto attack with staff or sword again, the latter is recommended since it is faster.
Try to manage your energy and keep the boons up, save it a bit for when you see the DH hp drop to 40% or less, because that’s when you are going to take advantage of the traits with damage increase. Hit F2 twice for the boons from One with Nature, use the Elemental Blast to force them use the dodge in case still have one, then start your simple combo which will be devastating if lands perfectly: Burst of Strength + Surge of the Mists. If the opponent somehow dodged part of the Surge of the Mists, swap to sword to finish them by using Precision Strike with Impossible Odds (too fast and too close, they won’t dodge nor block unless aegis is back up).
If you decide to to interrupt the Wings of Resolve using Surge of theMists, you can make a different combo with Chaotic Release + Burst of Strength + Precision Strike.
If you are out of energy, so can’t block, can’t dodge, Crystal Hibernation is on cool down and a DH spammed their trap on you, remember to use Infuse Light heal if you hp is low and abuse of all their damage for a full heal or swap legends to Assassin Stance and use Riposting Shadows to evade the traps.
