Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Seeing that Power Revs are weak to condis and with so many necros around, which build would you recommend and what strategy?

I was thinking invocation instead of retribution and then using sigil of generosity and sigil of purity.

Which Runes would you say? Lyssa ?

I specifically want a power build not a condi rev build in this post please.

Thanks

Try rune of lyssa and invocation over retribution this should work.
ive never problem vs necs with this setup

You can’t win against a necro in 1vs1, just switch to shiro and run away. But if you are 2 vs 1 a necro or in a team fight just pull out hammer and stay away smashing him.

I’ve found with hammer is the best choice against a necro.

Kite shroud (or use sword 2 and ua to get rid of it faster), dodge marks, save glint heal and staff 4 for condi clean. If they are using scepter keep in dancing around their back to interrupt boon corrupt hit.

Dont feed them (spectral armor), dps and cc the kitten out of them, make wise use of Shiro chill clean and thats about it. Oh in case of rise shout – line em up with necro and staff 5. I personally didnt lost to a reaper 1v1 this season yet.

Most important note – i use sword oh, immobilize for shroud and grasp shadow works great vs them.

Could you post you build Burtnik? Traits/Amulet/runes?

Thanks

Pretty much standard dev/retri/herald with berserker amulet and air sigils. Rest is up to you

Lol then ur doing something wrong
U can clean the biggest Burst easy with rune of lyssa .
And if he goes into shroud just use shield 5 and dodge away.
Most necs are freekills in 1 vs 1 with this setup.

All of this is great. Also, just ping the Necro and wait for someone else to help you fight them. Just don’t 1v1 a Necro or condi Mez. Rev can 1v1 any class except those two. Consider yourself lucky. Thief can’t 1v1 anything efficiently besides a ranger. You can always just rotate somewhere else instead of 1v1’ing them while being much more useful, then bring a friend along to help you 2v1 the necro.

If no life force, treat as normal.
If full life force, leave them alone. They’ll only chew your time up. There is no shame in not being able to defeat a profession that has been made child’s play to operate and defensively one of the strongest 1 vs 1 professions at the same time.

I was on my rev last night and was matched up against a team of 2 mes, 2 necros. It wasnt pretty. I have lots to learn. hah
