Guild Wars 2

I have been genuinely confused for a while as to why people keep saying Rev is OP and its the best class to go in Diamond/Legendary. Last Season I played Rev and loved it, I would say it was borderline OP and I got to Legendary no problem.

However this season I feel like Rev completes sucks. I have played around 100 games on my Rev this season trying out all kinds of builds and I just get destroyed. Necros specially own me in seconds. I do much better in Diamond on my Thief or Mesmer than my Rev can even hope to do.

The funny this is at Diamond I haven’t even fought against a Rev who was ‘OP’, I often focus a Rev in PvP first because its so kitten easy to kill them. I have met Necros, Engis, Mesmers and even Eles who seem OP and are near impossible to kill yet never have i faced a Rev who even seemed close. And Im 2 tiers from Legendary now.

So my question is: Why on earth is Rev being called OP right now? And if so what am I doing wrong?

You are playing it wrong. They have so many blocks/blinds/evades/CC/heals and all the while doing high dps and insane chasing ability. For most folks the class is new and will take time to master. I played like kitten and still easily won nearly all my games hitting legendary, its that easy.

Not your fault really, it’s basically a hate bandwagon for being “new”. Happens in every game.
