I’m curious for all the rev players out there as to what weapons and Hero’s you find best. After watching twitch, YouTube, metabattle builds I’ve seen quite a few options, and I know it’s what works best for each specific person as well as what type of group you or no group you are going with.

Sword/shield (seem to be more on the roamers but not all)
Hammer
And everyone had a staff so I’m taking it that’s a must

Everyone had glint
Shiro (seem to be more on the roamers but not all)
Malyx (meta)
Dwarf was only on a couple

So I’m interested to see who all runs what weapons, and what hero whether you are in a Zerg or roaming.

Glint is necessary
Mallyx is used to counter condition damage, with the stability changes it’s more for that than to just counter chill/fear/immob
Shiro was nerfed a bit
Dwarf was nerfed

Staff 5 was nerfed & stability changes mean it is no longer as good

I prefer sword/sword over sword+shield these days since you don’t have to stand in one place

Desolation (EU) → Yak’s Bend (US)
In your backline: Elementalist+Mesmer+Necromancer

So you prefer to run glint and mallyx?

Do you run hammer at all? Thoughts?
You run sword/sword over sword/axe? I always thought axe had great power

What’s your second weapon?

Our guild runs Glint/Mallyx for zergs with Hammer/Staff. It’s essentially a buff bot. Wanderer’s gear is good, but anything that’ll allow you to stay relatively tanky is also good. Just provide your frontline with fury and resistance and that’s your job done. Even better if you can land some good CoRs.
