Guild Wars 2

I’m still pretty new to the game, I leveled a guardian to 80 and am level 8 mastery but I’m getting pretty bored of the class, tbh. It’s just seems very slow and as DH, outside of traps the combat just isn’t very fun. I

created a test rev and went to the mists and the abilities seem a lot more engaging and they look a lot more entertaining than guards but I’m still confused on how the class works. Can someone give me an idea on what it’s like to play as one. I do a bit of everything, PvE, PvP, and WvW but I like PvP the most.

Revenant is a class that has very few weaknesses. Of course depending on your build it can have access to pretty much all boons with a huge uptime, especially on stability and resistance and fury. But unless you use mallyx as a legend, conditions will melt you. The playstyle is somewhat unique. In general you want to swap legends every 10s to maximize skill use. The meta marauders herald cannot deal with condis well but can still put up a fight thanks to blocks on weapons, evades from shiro and glints heal. Main role is to roam and duel non condi builds. In teamfights use cc and boons while focusing the weakest link and getting support from your allies.

I like the way you put it in the 1st part!

Roam & duel non-condi builds… as the condi ones will melt you almost like you are AFK!

In team fights its more fun and what you say is mostly right… try not to be focused and, like a hunter on a prowl, pick the “injured calf” and finish it!
