Guild Wars 2

This build is what I have come up with since finishing Reaper last night. It isn’t too unlike Power Revenant, which is how I play my Revenant…

Focusing around building up crit chance to 100%, stacking as much vulnerability as possible as well as Reaper shroud Auto attacking for generating personal might.

I’m currently running this with full exotics, however I chose to build it with full ascended so the numbers on the right should be as “final” as possible.

Please let me know what you think, any constructive criticism is much appreciated. Thanks!

lose Signet of spite and get well of suffering or suffer instead, if you depend so much on vulnerability. Lose some vulnerability traits like unyielding blast for speed of shadow. All in all you you cap vulnerability so fast that all this traits are useless.
Axe AA alone will cap it in few secs

You seem be over capped on crit chance. You have 49% base, plus 50% while in shroud and another 50% from 25 vulnerability stacks. Might I recommend adding some valk gear to lower your base crit? From my experience, GS+shroud autos are more than enough to get you your 25 vul stacks. Or you can drop decimate defenses and take chilling victory to get more might out. I would also suggest trying air, strength, or rage sigils over frailty sigils as your vul stacking is already decent without it. Also, this is a personal choice, but try using strength runes. I find that 1 good hit from a mob is usually more than enough to get you below 90% hp denying you the 10% dps boost of scholar. I would also recommend blighter’s boon if you’re having some difficulty surviving.

Additionally, I did some testing, and nothing can save you does not add any vulnerability stacks unless it strips a boon. If you are using it to add vul stacks, it doesn’t work. Try using well of suffering for vul stacking instead, or even you are all weaklings for a stun break and more might generation.

See, this is why I posted this, tyvm ^.^, I’ve got some revisions to do.

I was afraid of overkill on crit but, I thought I wasn’t near that but you are right, I am WAY over cap.

I like the idea of self sufficiency when it come to might generation, so decimate defenses is prolly going to go, and I’ll be picking up you all are weaklings. I went for the shouts instead of wells because I have a horrible habit of missing the wells unless I open the fight with them, plus more CC breaks is always good.

I originally wanted to go with Strength runes but good lawd those we outta my price range, but hey I’ve got something to work for ^.^ Do you think that Rage runes would suffice as a cheaper alternative in the mean time?

For sigils, I honestly wasn’t sure what to go with besides force so i just snagged more vuln, I’ll have to weigh my options.

I’ll update this thread with my revisions here in a bit, thanks again for your time and insight into my build ^.^

If you put in more valk over zerker since you are already overcapped on crit chance, then Rune of the Wurm would be quite decent and cheap. I like this setup.

Honestly, the best case scenario here would be a stat combination that doesn’t exist. Which would be Power (main) – Ferocity – Condition Damage. If you’d like 4 stat, add in Expertise as a minor and elevate Conddmg to a main stat.

Here are my suggested changes:

- “NCSY!” and Signet of Spite were not really doing much in that build. Replaced by “Suffer!” and “YAAW!”.
- Scholar Runes don’t work without support that keeps you topped up, so Strength Runes will be a more consistent choice.
- Adjusted sigils.
- Overcapped crit fixed by picking Dhuumfire instead of Death Perception. Burning always adds significant DPS, as a rule. Decimate Defenses provides a more stable source of crits, even if you lose the Might from Chilling Victory. This is more personal preference than anything else, so feel free to do that the other way around.
