Guild Wars 2

Ever since BWE2 I have been fiending to play Revenant again. I decided to go highlight a game and upload it to youtube. I hope this can help hold back your cravings too mates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPRKaMTJDSA

Build used is in the videos description but I will also link it here: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAsemnvN2gS6JvQRVlbosryPUYW5IKYs8ElFNFSdG74HtBYBRwegL8hA-TpBFABPcIAEvMABnAga2fYhjAAAPAAA

You have really bad posture.

Hoelbrek may be the way to go with solo queue.

Why would you use Ferocious Strikes with Sword/Shield? Isn’t that only for dual wielding?

Lyssa runes for yoloQing. You don’t use F2 as often as you could be as well as Jade winds Phant, but otherwise pretty solid game-play. I preferred to use Invocation over Retrib and it enables me to not have to run pack runes.

Sword/Shield is a dual wield and activates Ferocious Strikes

Sitting like that isn’t going to do your back any good.

Also how low is your monitor? O_o

Lol are you guys really commenting on his posture? Who cares?

We don’t want one of players representing game’s pvp to look like Gollum in the future

Rune of the pack is pretty much useless with Glint existing. Try Hoelbrak

Nice video man.

Roy Cronacher the most friendly dev ever!

Looks good, man. I’m a fan of Invocation over Retribution. I ran Glint/Shiro sw/axe hammer during BWE2. Not sure how it’ll hold up once people learn to play against rev, but I preferred it to other setups. I also think Hardening Persistence is miles better than Radiant Revival. It’s nice to see that quite a few different builds are popping up for Rev after that weekend, so that’ll at the least be refreshing.

Swap on sword and click skill *3 wait 10 sec and click skill *3 again -> enemy down.

Please fix this before release…. https://youtu.be/xPRKaMTJDSA?t=4m20s At 4:21 Revenant uses Shiro utility to teleport through walls… He using his 8th ability or his F key 2 times. One teleports him to the wall, second teleports him up into the clocktower without any visible path… Is this supposed to work this way cause “walking through the mist” ???

Could you imagine doing this into WvW keeps / towers??

Well guardians, thieves, mesmers do it all the time now..let us have this power too :P

Those 3 classes also have Path checks I believe… Just like Elementalists Lightning Flash…

Thief has Steal and Infiltrator’s Signet, Guards have Judge’s Intervention and Mesmer can Blink through the Khylo floors and walls just as easily.
This isn’t unique to Revenant.

It has the same functionality as other shadowstep skills such as Signet of Infiltration on thief.

As long as it doesn’t go through keep walls, then all is good!

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Keep in mind this was the beginning of the second day of playing Revenant. By the end of the weekend I was playing much more efficiently than this.

Tweak the build to your liking, I know I was tweaking it all weekend long and expect to more during BWE3.

So you planning on maining Rev over Ele come HoT? I certainly am thinking about it with how extremely underwhelming Tempest is and how new and exciting the Rev feels.

Path checks mostly don’t apply in sPvP. If you can manage to get a reticule somewhere and the reticule is green, you can usually teleport to it, unlike PvE or WvW. If you’ve got a ‘teleport to enemy’ skill, then as long as you have the enemy targeted and in range, you can get to them. This makes it very useful to call targets if you have mediguardians, thieves, or Shiro revenants on your team and on their way to help you out.

I’m surprised people still don’t know how teleports work in this game.

Generally, if you can get to a place without jumping or falling down and it’s in range, the teleport will work. Otherwise it will either fail outright or teleport you to the spot where you’d need to move along the Y axis to cross it.

You do not understand..it means it GOES through wall, like many other skills already in other classes. This is not rev specific but game engine level. When/if they’ll gix this every skill with this behaviour will be adjusted. Nothing to be desperate on

A lot of people seem to be missing a great build choice. I think that Crystal Shield grandmaster is meh. If you’re running Ret (and I think you should) then use Enhanced Bulwark. It has a 1 sec ICD and works off your gain Stab on dodge trait (no ICD), and it gives a longer lasting stack. It means whenever you dodge you’ll get a 2 3/4 second stack and a 5 3/4 second stack. You even have amazing endurance regen to trigger it with Enduring Recovery and Vigorous Persistence. Control becomes a total non-issue.

You’re lucky to get a clear teleport on flat ground in wvw, terrain there is so buggy. I can promise you 100% this will not break into keeps….

You should try the hammer more. It has nice damage, and is much better compared to staff.
