This is the build I’m using:

And shield is nice, even came in handy for healing but don’t care for how it roots. The AoE heal was great at times (even managed top heals a couple of times).

I know sword and shield is meta for a reason and not sword and sword but OMG sword and sword is just so much cooler! The shadowstepping utility looks cool and the block is decent. Sword and shield is still cool and seems like the safer option (no pun intended) but sword/sword has some potential too…I think.

I use dual swords and its a lot of fun. Most people use shield since its pretty much a third heal skill, and therefor a get out of jail free card, but grasping shadows can go through that making it a counter. Having the cc + a block you can use while moving makes it a pretty underrated weapon.

Both the Immob and Skill 5 on Offhand sword could use some improvement tbh BUT I use Dual Swords as well and love it just for the block even if the other skills are a little unreliable. Thing is that I actually use Base Revenant and like it way more than Herald so Off-Hand Sword is the best offhand available to me.
