Build:
- S/S Shiro – Hammer Dwarf
- Marauder
- Rune of Hoelbrak/Pack
- Traitlines: Devastation, Retribution & Invocation
- Solid, high DPS on non-moving target
- Test took 4 hours dueling and playing (un)ranked, but no Stronghold. Although my feedback will mostly likely stay the same after playing Stronghold with DPS Revenant.
Feedback based on current “meta”:
- lacks sustain
- lacks defensive abilities next to 1 block (like all other DPS classes/builds have: Aegis, blocks, invulns, blinds, …)
- lacks mobility to be a good DPS roamer (outside fights)
- lacks reliable stunbreaks (unless u take Legend Swap Stun Break Trait)
- casttime on Healings are too long for a (melee) DPS
- Dwarf Legend Utility Taunt doesnt always hit (bugged)
- overal casttimes are too long for a DPS
- countered by all DPS builds (in Conquest and both 1v1)
- stuck in same utilities (no chance to take more Stunbreakers)
- energy start (50%) too low to actually engage full on as DPS
Overal:
- Nice concept and decent design
- The ‘ideal’ DPS Revenant is close but needs some rework to be ever viable in PvP as DPS. Having Shiro as one of the legends, it simply needs to be viable in PvP
- Feels like Ranger; fun for 1v1 but horrible team-utilities and sustain for Conquest. Although even in 1v1, the Revenant has a really low chance to win unless opponents makes tons of mistakes and you bring your A-game.
Revenant Shiro was basically the only reason I pre-purchased HoT for the beta and I’m, sadly, a bit disappointed. However, I do hope with the incoming feedback, you’ll be able to make something out of it
Cheers and sincerely,
