Guild Wars 2

Ive basically retired my war and im going to turn his armor into something tanky, not sure what yet.

anyone using rev for tanking?

I hope to, eventually. I want to work on a set of tank gear in the process of making the legendary armor.

Really depends on what the encounter requires to be tanked what kinda setup you want. Do you need a mixture of damage and damage mitigation? Is damage mitigation pointless and you’d just use/spam Shiro mobility?

I’d say just go for a bit of mixed, I personally did what I could best and turned out fine, using 2 different foods along with superior sharpening stone, 1 food is dedicated for tough/prec, other for power/prec, stays roughly at 2,7k-3k armor. Unless you really want an all out tank?

well it’s not exactly NEEDED. Just be the guys with the most thoughness and then stack DPS. I feel like shiro mobility in tanky suit is the best, just dodge all around while autoattacking, sw/sh + staff for extra blocks/heals.

I’m also thinking about a Cleric’s tank and be both the tank and the healer in the group to free up a dps spot.

I’ve just gotten a great Glint/Jallias build working. I plan to test it with my Guild this weekend.

Still does good damage with Crusader gear, and that 40% fury.

I have a hard time dying. It’s hella fun.

I don’t think Rev has the needed tools to be tank healer since I think best for this is still glint Shiro sword with protection regen and boon duration during glint phase and dodge/cc spam during Shiro phase(quickness if in a burn phase). That would be a good mitigation tank spec.
If you try to work Ventari in there you end up with 50% of the time taking a lot of damage and healing yourself instead of others, which is a bad thing.
Hope there will be one, I didn’t even count Jalis and don’t know how to work him in…

Avoid upkeeping Facet of Light if you’re DPS. It cancels better Regeneration from Druids, Tempests and support revs especially.
