Guild Wars 2

For raids, which hero setup does one run? I know Shiro is supposedly more DPS, but doesn’t mallyx have better breakbar, boonstrip, and that 10% stat boost elite?

PS. Does Mallyx’s elite share with other party members?

Usually, Glint shiro for DPS maximization (impossible odds is a hell of a skill). Take Mallyx if you’re filling the boon strip role.

Embrace the Darkness doesn’t increase stats of allies nor make them apply Torment. It’s self-only effect.

If you have a Mesmer with 100% quickness up-time, then there really isn’t any reason to take Shiro, which makes Mallyx a better choice because of the 10% increase in stats on top of quickness.

Dosent that depends on the group?
If there already are support roles that perma stack might, whats the point with glint?
Id focus more on damage then which would be mallyx for 10%

This, although 100% quickness uptime is really hard for Mesmers – realistically its 80-90% for the whole group. 80-90% is higher than the 45% a rev achieves solo. In exchange, the rev keeps facet of nature passive on 100% of the time. If he took shiro he could never use IO and keep the facet on.

In addition, as has been mentioned, the 10% stats boost is a decent dps boost for revenants.

It does depend on party compositions but what’s fast becoming the meta – 1 chrono + 1 PS war + 1 Rev in one pt. 1 PS war + other rev in other pt. These 5 will provide perma fury, 25 might, very high (read almost 80-90%) quickness uptime and lots of other boons depending on other classes.

The rev in the mesmer pt will definitely want mallyx/glint. The rev in the other pt has a choice – sometimes shiro is preferred e.g. if he’s going to be splitting off to take care of adds but he could easily run glint/mallyx too.

Obal had a guide out but that is for fractals and dungeons. Raid meta for rev isn’t the same (nor is the rotation). It all depends on party composition. If you are running a static, the 2 PS wars, 1 chrono, 2 revs is an excellent base for any team for potentailly all bosses (definitely good enough for the first wing). You can add a druid to that list meaning the last 4 positions (dps) will be made up of whatever the fight determines e.g. condi’s for VG, tempests are good against gorseval, high solo dps vs Sabetha etc

Because revs are now the primary source of fury.

Yes it does.

- Glint/Shiro : If you are the first Revenant in a party with no perma quickness

- Glint/Mallyx : If you are the first Revenant in a party with perma quickness

- Shiro/Mallyx : If you are the second Revenant with a PS Warrior but no perma quickness

- Glint/Mallyx : If you are the second Revenant with a PS Warrior and perma quickness (Give perma protection instead of Might/Fury).
