Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Many may know me, many may not. I made many RRR and Warrior roaming vids with 1vx year or so back. Anywhoo I’m coming back and know nothing about Revenant.

-Best 1vx build?
-Best wep combo for leveling? For 1vx roaming?
-Best armor/sigil setup?
-Anything else you can tell me

Thanks!

Herald shiro is god-tier OP and I haven’t seen any notes for its nerfs prior to release. it will either get smacked down in the new patch notes, or we’ll see it in the top tier meta comps along with the chrono for the first pvp season.

I don’t know what that is lol.

Posting the same thing in multiple threads doesn’t make it any more true. Herald/Shiro is going to get wrecked by Reaper and others. The game isn’t balanced around 1v1s.

I did not lose to a single Reaper on my Herald/Shiro and I’m not even THAT good at it haha. I do think it will be top meta along with Chrono though. Even if it does get knocked down a bit. Still, it’s cool that a class I play will finally be considered top tier especially with the set I prefer to use on it. My S/D Thief has not seen much success against skilled premades.

This means it depends on the player not on the class. Nothing else. There are good ones and there are bad ones (like me )
But i don’t spread tears to nerf good players because of their OPness….

Good Reaper vs. worse Rev: Reaper wins and vice versa

Some people just haven’t a clue about what they’re talking about. Seeing a the shiro/glint in the hands of a seasoned player will make people wanna uninstall the game. There are certain players reading this who know exactly what I’m talking about. And I don’t think anything is going to be done about the build before the release. i called it here.

The chrono is basically at the same god tier with the right build. And I dont mean 1v1’s when I talk about these buids…i mean wrecking everything in all situations.

I dont think youve seen a good Shiro/Glint. Ill just say that that set up has an answer to anything reaper does . Its not face roll some smart play and patience is required but reapers will have a hard time.

Srsly, dont feed those QQ trolls. No idea why they cant even post anything constructive for the OP.

For OP:

for builds, you can try refer to this thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/revenant/Revenant-builds

for more information about revenant and its mechanics:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Revenant

As for armour and sigil setup, it is still debatable as raid content might require players not to go full berserker.

Feel free to dig around, even though our forum board is filled with useless QQ threads but some constructive threads are still there, just need to filter those out.

“Everything”

On serious note, is really hard to tell now.
So far seems that Shiro/Glint in power gear is the way to go. Mix of berserker’s or assassin’s / valkyrie’s.
Sword/x (pref shield) and hammer for when ranged is needed, Jalis over shiro for WvW with more tanky gear.
At least this was the dominat build around.

Anyway we need to at least have a solid month of gameplay.

The game isn’t balanced around 1v1s.

That absurd litany of “the game isn’t balanced 1 vs 1” lost all sense after the last month ESL tournament, in which a team of four elementalist and a thief did rolfstomp over the whole competition. The game isn’t balanced. Not at 1 vs 1, not at 3 vs 3 and not at blob vs blob. Some builds clearly hardcounter some others, some skills and traits are borderline useless and there’s a lot fo disparity.

But this isn’t a rant: fortunately most of classes are more or less viable in every game mode, and fortunately big disparities in performance can be gradually fixed. But stop arguing “the game isn’t balanced at 1 vs 1” as an excuse or justification because that song lost all meaning long time ago.

Now, on topic:

The revenant seems very strong offensively, with a few drawbacks in defense. For WvW raid as frontliner the best bet seems to be Glint + Halis, using either hammer + staff or hammer + mace/shield as weapons. Hoelbrack should be the most usefull rune for a while. Herald, Retribution and Invocation as traitlines.

In duel/roaming a Shiro + Glint seems the most viable, probably with hammer + sword x2 or sword/shield. Another options based on conditions can work combining Shiro + Mallyx or Mallyx + Glint, replacing the hammer for mace/axe.

I did enjoy the Gwand channel along the betas, He has some nice builds and skill to take advantage from them, so you can form your own opinion about the revenat after taking a look at:

You can find for every class that kind of OP videos… There are similar thing they connected: they all play against noobish players they can’t play their classes

No argument from me. But the reason I brought it up is that the vast majority of complaints about Revenant have involved Unrelenting Assault, which isn’t especially strong when there are multiple targets, and various issues related to learning how a new profession works (like not to attack during Glint heal, etc.).

Revenant may end up being overpowered, I don’t know. But I think it is just as possible that it won’t seem so bad once everyone figures out exactly how it all works and how to counter it.

UA isn’t necessarily OP for its damage. It’s just another invuln lol. And it’s the whole package that’s problematic, which includes the blocks, the teleports, the boons… reminding you guys of anything yet? Why are people (devs included) even ok with this?

because it’s not that crazy as people claims? I say again, go against an half decent player and you see how it’s not that massive.
Daredevils and chronomancers eat you alive.

I destroyed every single shiro revenant. I dont get why people have such a bone for shiro honestly. Being a bit more conservative and getting some defense will easily counter them. I found glint/mallyx way stronger by far
