Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I haven’t played in the beta as of yet but just had a question.

Which legendary syncs best with hammer? Jalis? I’ve seen a bunch of arguments regarding it.

Do you think hammer’s a viable, strong WvW weapon for the rev?

I’m dying to transfer my Jugg onto the rev so was curious :P

As of now,,, NONE.

But lore wise, Dwarf if you looking for role playing.

I personally tried revenant and used the juggernaut in eotm in the last beta, and it worked REALLY well. I was getting tons of loot bags (despite there being no point in picking them up because it isn’t saved!). I was also using berserker stats and a few ascended berserker trinkets too, and the damage was quite nice (will probably be even better with Shiro legend coming later on).

From the 2 that deal decent damage so far, Mallyx and Jalis (excluding Ventari cause that’s more healing oriented), I preferred Jalis simply because I liked the utility skills more. His Elite skill is also really nice and tanky. You can pull in your enemy with that chain utility skill for example, whereas Mallyx has utility skills that damage yourself, which, to me, isn’t very helpful.

I would say Jalis and Shiro will be the 2 main legends I use, personally. I originally thought Mallyx and Shiro, but no, I don’t like Mallyx’s utilities and their self harm effects.

Just my two cents anyway.

Edit: These are the traits I used

Also during the Beta, I used an ascended amulet with power, precision, toughness, with precision being the major of the 3 (I wanted a bit of toughness for some defence, while still keeping a good critical hit chance with the major being precision, and power for base damage). But do what you feel will do the most damage, or what feels right for you. I think instead of Invocation, I’d swap it out for Devastation when we can play in a future Beta with Shiro’s trait line, being as he’ll most likely provide even better damage modifiers.

Legendary Dwarven Stance offers tanking and little bit ofCrowd Control options.

Legendary Demon Stance offers Condition manipulation and little bit of boon removal. (Problem with PvE right now, tho ANet has said that they’re going to update all maps, except starter maps, to contain more complex foes who use more conditions, CC and etc. So don’t expect to play “full berserker DPS who just spams 1111111 or 2222, no need for active defenses” being viable way to play the game.)

Legendary Centaur Stance offers healing, projectile reflection and condition removal.

Hammer offers Direct damage source, but is limited to long range, as it looses DPS when enemies are closer to the player. Also offers reflection field that is affixed to the front of revenant and moves with him/her.

Mace-Axe offers nice condition infliction methods, especially Torment with the skill 1[u], along [u]AoE burning, poison and chill (tho it’s possible it’ll be updated abit in future and on HoT official release).

Staff offers new twist, it’s a melee weapon with healing potential, dropping healing orbs with skill 1 chain, blocking attacks along blinding nearby foes, AoE heal with condition removal and minor CC which propels Revenant forward.
