Guild Wars 2

I know you can use Jalis and Mallyx but 1 condi clear while traited and 2 with staff on shiro/glint is far too little.

I’ve been trying to learn Rev recently. Tried the Shiro/Glint metabattle build. Every time I switch to Shiro I just get bombed by condis and die.

HOW U DO DIS?

Yah… the options are pretty small. I tried to be creative and find ways to remove condi or manage them :

If you’re traited in Corruption, you have Demonic Defiance with Resistance. The problem is that you need to trait.

If you have Jalis and traited Versed in Stone (Retribution), use both Rite of the Great Dwarf and Vengeful Hammers to have 70% reduced incoming condition damage. The problem is that you need to trait, again. Energy management is pretty bad when you just used you Elite and draining energy Utility.

If you have Ventari, you can blast Protective Solace (light field) and of course Purifying Essence. Problem with Ventari is the bad self healing.

Direct self condi clear : Jalis Heal, Staff Renewing Wave, Invocation trait Cleansing Channel (Should be 2 or 3 at best ! Not one).
Other options : Sigils and Runes. I think they gave a QoL buff to rune of Lyssa especially made and tailored for the Revenant, look it up.

tldr : it’s underpowered.

Our problem is not to deal with condis’ at all or at least it is not my problem. The main problem you are probably facing to is that you are not a revenant main. I play only revenant(currently 1600-1700 rating), yes that means I have only revenants on my account. And it took me +-800 ranked games to figure out how to play this class. I can see the real difference at the battlefield when ppl are trying to play revenant as a guardian/warrior and it is so bad aproach. On the other hand you will see good revenants, who just appear on battlefield and somebody is just melted down within 1-3seconds. That means positioning, energy managment(for equilibrium), combos, overall knowledge about enemy’s def tools, timing and the most important practicing are the tools to success as a revenant.
That is the reason why this class is the hardest one in PvP. Please do not tell me Thief is the hardest one, because it is not.

Summary: Best way to deal with condis? → Do not let enemies stack them up. Use your mobility to move around battlefield even to run away and crush people down and most important → Do not execute your full burst combo with weakness on you.

I’m not saying you’re wrong but there’s only so much you can dodge and predict, I just feel like 3 condi clears isn’t enough. I do see where you’re coming from but I can’t really attribute this to a l2p issue

I can agree with this (though my account has more than just Revenants on it!). I don’t really think conditions are that prolific in PvP right now. The primary condition users are some Warriors, Necromancers, and Mesmers. There is the occasional condi Engi, but they are very vulnerable and can’t avoid much of your damage. There is also the occasional burn Guardian, and they give me more trouble, but I don’t run into them often. Most condi warriors should not be hitting you too much. Skull Grinder can be anticipated and evaded pretty regularly. With Shiro, Glint, and Invocation, Rev is not lacking for stun breaks, so a Warrior combo into Skull Grinder from Headbutt or Mace #3 should be avoidable most of the time. I will admit I don’t have a good answer for condi Necros or Mesmers, other than choosing not to engage them 1v1. They are both slow so they won’t be chasing you down if you choose to disengage.

If you still have problems with condis, you can try using sigils of Purity and Generosity on your weapons too.

More condi clear on rev? Are you high? You are not allowed to have condi clear, stab or reliable heals. Get out with your heresy, we dont need it here.
