Guild Wars 2

Hey there guys!

Today, early morning, I faced a Desolation Rev (Herald). The player was at Legend WvW rank but probably was a PvPer as he seemed he knew really well what he was doing and his skill usage was perfect most of the time.

While I rarely (if ever) encounter the build he used it seemed it was quite efficient. To some extend I could tell the traits/legends and weapons he used, his gear eludes me and I didn’t have the chance to ask him. So maybe someone of you can help me if you are familiar with that build (which isn’t a copy/paste from metabattle ofc).

So… his build should look like somewhat (I left empty the things I couldn’t be certain of) like this :

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAsXmn3guNSuQ7JRboVlsP0rS4IaWJ4EdsklVFwGqIVYA-TFAhAIvFA-w

About weapons/legends I am absolutely sure he was Sword/Axe-Staff, he used Shiro/Glint and from Stability on dodge, Confusion and Burn (when used Elite) he certainly used Retribution and Corruption (along with the obvious Herald) traitlines.

I made the following assumptions :

Cause of the rather frequent poison application he should be using Venon Enhancement. Other than that he seemed to be able to maintain his health high enough and was still susceptible to heavy condi application (from a Reaper) although sometimes seemed he wasn’t taking that much damage (possibility he used Versed in Stone). I don’t think I saw any Taunts.

Still, don’t take any of these for granted!

So, anyone familiar with such build?

Kek hi there.

If the rest of your information is accurate, you can assume one thing at least.

If he wasn’t using mallyx, then he is almost certainly using the first trait in Corruption, Replenishing Despair. Why? He isn’t really inflicting torment, nor using demon stances. So the other two traits would be out.

Repenishing Despair? Who would even pick that.

Nope.

For sure he wasn’t using Mallyx legends but still he can (and did) inflict torment of crit and using Axe#5. And he did apply poison as well. I am 99% he had Venom Enhancement, unless he used some sigil/rune. Still this seems rather unlikely since his poison application was rather frequent and I don’t remember myself having torment without poison.

And, as a last argument… Who would ever take Replenishing Despair?

This trait seems too “meh” in the current metagame..! Are there any build that integrate it for some reason?

The thing is replenishing doesn’t even work.

As for the thread itself, neither I was using sigil of doom, nor Venom Enchantment. I wasn’t even running mallyx at all that time since devastation proved to be better both dps and sustain wise thanks to Assassin Anihilation. It was just sigil of generosity at work.

You were that Desolation Legend that fought in Gandara BL that morning? Nice!

Yeah, the one that /bow’d back at you once you found me AFKing near North BL camp.

Exactly!

Great skill mate! Didn’t have the chance to tell you.

So is it condition based or hybrid?

Nah, I carry this build in the morning and then it carries me in the evening/night time

So is it condition based or hybrid?

Hybrid. But could swap one of the trait lines and food/utility for more condi pressure.

a last, we finally found condi Rev.

There is condi but it’s not condi
