Guild Wars 2

So I tried to make power Revenant work all beta weekend, it was ok in pve(where a lot of things work) but every time I went to Pvp it just wasn’t right compared to every single class, almost no condition removal(which I get it needs some weakness but it’s Still WAY too little) not too many ways to defend yourself except for spamming dodges, every time there is aoe you just melt and even with all their escape tools I found it hard to run away and recover, now(I tried sw sw and sw axe with hammer and sometimes staff, trying out different legends with different trait lines ). Now I just recently played with condition rev for a bit with mace axe staff and I feel significantly stronger and I can actually somewhat defend myself now so imo it’s in a much better spot. power based specs need a little bit more work done. But overall I love the class and it’s super fun and so much better than the last beta weekend! Keep up the awesome work guys

in pvp- cond melee revenant mace/ax + demon stance I found to be very, very good.
Carrion Amulet + undead rune (+cond damage rune your choice) seemed to offer very good torment dots.

And in pvp where no one stands still— the torment dots hit really hard.

I found in pvp the best setup was cele amulet with divinity runes for a perfect stat balance. Mace/axe and staff. You hit real hard with direct damage, and you can probably imagine what 15 stacks of torment is like…

Mace/Axe, Hammer

Sigil of Blood and Doom for Mace/Axe, Leeching and Torment for Hammer.

Celestial Amulet, Divinity Runes

Shiro, Mallyx legends

Devastation – 1(Assassin’s Presence), 2(Nefarious Momentum), 3(Assassin’s Annihilation)

Corruption – 2(Demonic Defiance), 3(Spontaneous Destruction), 1(Diabolic Inferno)

Invocation – 3(Fierce Infusion), 2(Invigorating Flow), 3(Shrouding Mists)

Open with Shiro, use the heal skill, swap to Mallyx, 2, 3, 5, 4, 1, 1, 1 repeat.

Pretty much the only thing that works right now, as other people stated

I had fantastic success with a rampager setup. Sword/sword with mace/axe as 2nd weapon set and Shiro + Malyx. There was nothing I couldn’t melt in seconds. I really wish there was a 2nd ranged condi weapon set, however. Physical damage has both ranged and melee weapons, but condi does not. If you look at other professions, there’s normally a long range and melee range option for both condi and physical damage setups.
