The build has a nice amount of sustain and damage. I focused on going on the defensive side with the Herald traitline, while highlighting offense with Corruption and Invocation. I really didn’t want want there to be no critical hits so I used Invocation to get the most out of fury. Retribution just doesn’t seem to do this build justice especially since it is missing stunbreaks via legend swap.
Also, to work with the hybrid feel of the build, I went ahead and mixed the Sword/Shield and Mace/Axe norm so you have Sword/Axe and Mace/Shield. Both weapon sets have dodges/blocks and great damage including condition damage. Try Axe 4 -> Sword 3 -> Axe 5 for a nice burst that puts you on a safe side through dodges while dishing out damage.
Mace/Shield also works really well IMO. Drop Mace 2’s field, then activate Mallyx’s elite, then use Shield 5. You’ll be dealing condis WHILE healing/blocking damage. Mallyx 4 also drops an AoE so if you have enough energy, you can drop down Mallyx 4, Axe 2, Mallyx elite, and shield. Also, Mallyx 2 is now a stunbreaker so if you find yourself stuck, use that to get yourself out of a sticky situation.
Sigil and Rune options are changeable, as well as traits. I haven’t tried Rune of Tormenting yet but will give it a try. I might switch to Frigid Precision trait for extra chills.
And that’s just the start. Like many Revenant builds the skill ceiling is high, bound for lots of possibilities and combo choices.
Unfortunately, the skill floor isn’t low so you’ll need to practice a bit before getting the hang of it. Nevertheless, I hope everyone has fun with the build, and that condi Revenant can make a return!!
