Ok, so I know QT has done the benchmarks and all, and others have posted that condi seems to be in a much better place but the question I ask is, is anyone using it in raids and to what success? By that I mean are you getting hate and salt with wanting to raid as a Condi Rev, or are you being embraced and welcome as a viable asset to your team?
Also, what Bosses are you have the most success with. QT listed one, Cairn, and if that’s the case then yea, no point really.
But if many of you are having success with the build and not copping abuse I’d love to hear it….either way really. Just something tells me that even though Rev got a bit of condi love I don’t think we will see it fully embraced until the next xpac and new elites, if they are coming.
Anyway, share….would love to see how its going for people. Oh, and I come from a PVE/raids point of view. Cheers!

You get the least hate in wings 2 and 4…

It’s fun to play, but I wouldn’t recommend trying to raid on your rev unless you have a dedicated group or like commanding as 99% of PUG groups are still just going to kick you or tell you to change classes.

I have gotten hate in every group I’ve joined for it except for 1 VG group that said “Revenant please stay dont leave!!!” as soon as I joined. Even got kicked after beating cairn because my DPS was too low (even though I was top of ARCdps). So people just wanna hate, but it is very viable.

I kited shards on Cairn the other day in my Ventari Deimos gear… You definitely can’t support the group as hard as an ele can since you need a lot of self-tablet love to heal through the agony storm ticks, but holy crap is it easy mode just rotating through your evades and blocks. If you want to be especially lazy, you can even just straight up block all the shards with your tablet dome for a crazy long time.

I didn’t do this, but if you were like, super into trying to rev heal, you could run a sigil of water on a hammer to up your group support while using hammer 4’s mini shield to handle most of the shards, but I mean, people are still gonna be like, “Nah man, we’ll just wait for an ele or dr00d.”

You may want to try supporting with the same gear on Matthias. Really does wonders.

Back to the topic, I would expect the condi rev to be at least decent on bosses which move around (again, Matthias being the prime example), ‘cause you know, torment. On static/immobile bosses like Gorseval or Sabetha it won’t be that good, but probably still passable. You can pull your own weight with that build, the issue IMO is the community will most likely think you’re a beginner if you’re not brining the current top meta dps to the party. And of course, there’s KC, don’t bring condi rev to KC please.
