Guild Wars 2

what do you think about this build? (food not inclused) http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlQQNAseinvN2gS6JvQRVlbossyPU4V5IKYs8ElFNFidMppNtDIANwugJshA-TBSBABUcGAKa/BLVVhS1KMTJ4VK/wTfAAPCAA-e

I think we’re getting to the point where you don’t really need to be asking about peoples opinions on builds like this. It’s almost exactly the same as the now generic dps build everyone was running on the last bwe. Maybe you’ve only just decided to look in to the revenant so it’s okay that you didn’t know that but there are a lot of builds you can and should read about on these forums before posting one of your own.

Analysis: It’s fine. Force sigils are a bit boring (though effectively fine) and hoelbrak/strength are better than rage runes. Ferocious strikes is better than rapid lacerations but the overall build is fine. It’s all fine.

Have fun.

It’s debatable if Strength/Hoelbrak is better than Rage. More or less, it’ll come down to slight difference in numbers. For launch, I’d say Rage is better. If I’m wrong, you replace Rage runes which are cheaper. If I’m right, then you don’t have to overwrite very expensive runes for cheap ones. Also, Ferocious Strikes only works when dual-wielding and shield is not part of dual-wielding.

@OP Question: Do you plan on swapping legends when needed or constantly? Is this build for just open world tomfoolery or dungeons?

In most PvE situations, Cleansing Channel will be of minimal value. Generally, you want to legend swap with Shiro/Glint when the fight demands it rather than when you need a condi cleanse. Fierce Infusion will most likely be better as it can help you keep up your fury when in Shiro just a bit longer.

For group content, I’d suggest Swift Gale over Hardening Presence. The latter is okay for open world, especially combined with a shield, but I’d say the former is better for groups. Generally when you are stunned in dungeons, you can be in danger of taking extra damage. Getting a quick bit of Superspeed can get you the hell out of there and properly reposition.

Build looks fine. It’s pretty much the same build that what seems a majority of people will be doing. It’s still a little early to tell what is the “best” or become the DPS meta.
