Guild Wars 2

Where are dose builds? Now that Mallyx has stunbreak, isn’t a power/condi hybrid gonna be a thing now? Not only that, but condi cleanse is also now a thing…

Uhm Mallyx doesn’t have Condi Cleanse…

I’ve been playing with Glint/mallyx but the opportunities for grabbing enough resistance for it to make a dent in any conditions you have, are few and far between. In PvE the Lack of shiro’s Jade Wind for break bars and UA really hurt utility, DPS and survivability.

Shiro really is just the only choice for any power build that doesn’t want to support through healing. Sadly.

I’ve been hybrid for a long time and there’s a realllllly fine line to cross to making it work.

And as usual, it really depends on the target players ability to handle you.

They’re my OTP.

If you look at the lore it just makes complete sense. =P

i play full condi glint/malyx.
i’m no pro though, i mostly just spam through the glint skills and then switch back to mally for aoe tormet or single target confusion spam :P

If you are facing comp consisting of mostly Warrior/Mesmers on the enemy side and want to stay Revenant, you can hop on Carrion/Sage’s Mallyx/Glint, Resistance will come helpful in teamfights.

Necromancer currently totally demolishes any mallyx build though. In the past you could outplay it 1v1 and win, but now it’s really hard due to instant corrupts on entering Shroud.

G/M is not particulary mobile nor filling the same niche as Power Revenant. It still isn’t a 1v1 build and generally functions as worse condition warrior everywhere except teamfights, where it can obtain good amount of Resistance on itself and allies if no boon corruption is nearby. It also nullifies Burn Guards completly.

You may also run Soothing Bastion in this build instead of damage modifier since it works quite nicely with Resistance – just mind that the passive might screw you over. Bolstering Anguish might also be worth a shot.

General build if you want to try it:

just play warrior, you have more damage, more condi cleanse, more heal, more survivability..

I have a lot of fun playing with it in casual PvP, running something like Mace/Axe/Staff (RIP staff charge damage)with carrion and various runes, but you get wrecked when condis get sent your way. One necro can ruin the day for you and everyone else in your party if they sent those 20 stacks of torment back to you or an ally with their cleanse on cd.

Eats stealthy kittens like thieves, engineers, or mesmers alive though. Pulsing mallyx elite can ruin their day very quickly if they don’t get the hell outta dodge.

I’ve played this condi rev build thinking now power rev is dead. It is fun but not nearly as good as condi warrior….

This season rev is dead. You better of playing Engi, Guard, Warrior or Thief for some “Fun”.

I’ve been dueling around with this, and I gotta say, the cast time on pain suppression makes the stun break a joke. You use it, but then you’re left channeling PS, and any good warrior or thief just instantly restuns you before the cast finishes—conversely any bad warrior or thief keyboard spammashing their stuns/interrupts also just interrupts it and locks out your casting. You can stow weapon to try and get a block up before that second stun comes, but it’s still not really fast enough—best cast scenario you get stunned but avoid the casttime lock.

With the high energy cost of pain supression, would it really be too OP to just let it be instacast…?

I also think it should be instacast. That being said, you can always weapon stow then dodge, or just dodge, right after activating it. That way you at least get the stunbreak without subjecting yourself to another immediate stun. Or you can just wait out the CC chain, with a condi warr this is totally fine, power warrior or thief not so much.

Playing hybrid Rev from realease of Rev and its decent in TF or 1v1 atm its harder t do what Rev could do at realease, but still u have party resist spam, AoE condis, boon rip, boons for mates, condi transfer via 3 trait in mallyx in sPVP. In PVE mallyx is smtng around 50\50 but still can be used. In WvWvW M\glint mallyx is best choice for raiding) or solo roam bcs u can deal with power and condi builds easil)
