PVE Tank Rev Build?
here is what i run ive done all pve things but raids(i havent tried them yet) with this build http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQJASmnfNWNSuJrJRHl/kskygS4S5QJorcrkFTFRdToUpBOEhd5zsA-ThSDwAh0Vg5JBka/BYq/cUpXAzQ+UGUw0TElgAukAAA-e
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! The only question I have is if you’ve experimented with replacing something for Herald for buffs for the party? As well as access to shield if you wanna mainhand sword instead of hammer.
Shield isnt terribly good for a tank, due to shield 5 rooting you in place. A tank will need frequent movement.
But herald have fine access to protection through Facet of Chaos, and Facet of Light is a good uh oh heal. Plus with the herald traitline you can spec double stability on dodge.
Hrm thats a fair point on the shield. I think I’ll still modify the build to include Herald since I find it really good for buffs and the healing and protection and use off-hand sword if I decide to melee.
After some thought and comparing a variety of builds I tried to find a middle ground between tank and damage (I don’t wanna be a tank that deals no damage or a damage dealer that is still pretty squish) here is what I’m going to try out if anyone wants to have a look/critque:
sorry i hardly get on so sorry for the late reply i would replace corruption for herald and the shield can be useful i just hated being rooted and your build looks good for a compromise

Well like during phase 1 in vg if you get low on hp you can shield 5 and itd hold the boss still in the corner as well as prot you for the healer to get some heals down.
