Hey guys
I’m a returning player after an year (a bit more now that i think about it) break from GW2 and I find myself a bit lost..
When I left the game, the meta for Revenant in raids was the Power Herald with Jalis(or Malis)/Glint and at the time, since I played mostly Rev and Guardian I decided to do an Ascended Set of Berserker Stats since it fitted both classes meta.

Well since I returned and I have never done Raids before I want to try them out but I cant seem to find a viable source of info about the current Revenant meta for Raids.
Some players have told me that Power Rev is not meta for a long time..
Metabattle still has Power Rev has the highest classification for Raids regardind Revenant
qT has Power Rev has one of the 3 meta builds but when you check tips its says is not effective in any encounter..

So who the hell is right after all? Can I still try raids with my Power Rev or do I need to change? Right now Rev is the class Im having most fun playing and really want to keep playing it, but changing my entire set to another stat before and expantion comes out seem like wasting gold because a new stat combos will come out and I have to do it all over again

If you are in a guild that raids, then yea, you can. Otherwise the old power Rev for raids is dead, and condi Rev viable for one boss really, from a PUG perspective. That’s why on qT’s site they show the builds but when listing effectiveness it zero. Other classes have stepped up their game and bring more to the fight than Rev did, and our dps just isn’t on par with others as well.
But………..
There is light at the end!!! With Renegade it is looking more and more like we will get a nice condi boost to our builds and some support as well? So there is hope!!
But if you are keen to still raids a go then maybe try out the condi build as condi is the thing right now. Or as I mentioned if in a guild and teammates are cool then they will take you regardless or what you play…sometimes….lol.
Oh, and for future reference it seems qT has taken over the mantle of the go to peeps for builds and such. MetaBattle still posts but many feel they a tad outdated or out of touch whereas the qT guys are actively testing all the time. Or, just make your own and play what you have fun with…always a good option!!!

My main issues is that i never really liked to play Condition specs, and we are in a condition meta, basicly I dont like this meta xD
But I also dont like to not get to try certain content because i just dont like the meta..

Raids are fine with Exotic right? I might just do a full set of Exotics to try condi build and if i get to like it, then commit and change my ascended, but kitten Viper Ascended Trinkets seem such a pain to get..

But then I also have the issue of new stats coming with PoF, do you guys think that Viper will stay meta after that? To a certain extend I cant imagine a better combo, Viper isnt perfect just because its lack Ferocity.. I think

You can farm the viper trinkets off the Living Story maps. A bit of a pain I know, but very doable.
