Guild Wars 2

Hear my pledge, give our revenants a greatsword ranged weapon based for conditions please? we need some synergy with corruption so we don´t have to go hybrid, give Mallyx some love. Other condi classes too strong, Need demon stance variety. I´m not asking to be as op as necro condi bombs, just an alternative ranged condi weapon

The best bet for ranged condi is probably the next elite spec. But I wouldnt bank on ranged greatsword, mesmers already stole that.

Revenant already pretty much replaces thief. A ranged condi weapon would make rev even more OP than it is now.

Oh the forum troll decided to visit us.. Sry to break it for you, but rev is not all that broken.

Yeah that troll that said rev replaces thief should just uninstall, lol. Thief is one of the best 1vs1 class right now with the disengages, someone is just kittenhurt cause he got countered maybe, lol. L2p issues

Thief hasn’t been a good 1v1 class in like a year and a half. The last time it was good at 1v1 was when s/d 2 could be used while cced.

If revenant didn’t have weapon swapping this wouldn’t have been a problem and they colud just have extended the range on mace#2 to give it a mixed range/melee feeling like spear.
But I guess LucianDK is right and revenant will be turned into long-range condi spammers next expansion

Condis don’t make use of fury/crits/Cruel Repercussions to the extent of hammer CoR and hammer bolt : the best you get is a 33% chance for 1 stack of torment from Rampant Vex.

If revenants had some sort of ranged condi weapon akin to Ranger shortbow or engineer pistol+pistol it’d not be over the top. If you took the mace 2 & 3 skills and doubled the range and looked at it, I’d say it is not that high burst damage compared to a revenant power build , mainly since it requires targets to stand in it.

If revenant didn’t have weapon swapping they’d have other issues.

Also I disagree with giving Revenants ranged GS, GS is the most used weapon right now. It should be mainhand axe , scepter, or dagger ; shortbow (900 range).

@ Burtnik
Rifle, probably not : I don’t see a magical profession wielding a rifle. Longbow maybe. (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Revenant_02_concept_art.jpg)

Also scepter for necros/eles/mesmers is 900 range ; engineer pistol is too ; thieves only have 900 range. Unless you want the auto to be like guardian staff or something…

Anything more than 900 range is “ranged” by definition.

No. Rifle/longbow. Shortbow skills usually has 900 range – for what kitten i need that junk? I want ranged wep, not something that pretent to be ranged.

Rofl

It depend. I was against rifle some times ago (coz of ritualist being spiritual/magic in nature). But thinking about the possibility of summoning Scarlet it would be a very nice addition. When we think about it she is clearly a better candidate than Eir who have just failled to kill kralkatorik or Traherne who has just lead the pact. Scarlet really has killed a ton of people, have made really fantastic mechanical inventions and have let a mark in Tyria for long time.
But yes, it need to be 900 range coz we have already hammer for very long range (1200).

Id die faster than channel some salad.. tfu. Eir being a legend is also a stupid idea as she didnt do a kitten at all. Wrecked by vet mob.. rip.

Hammer = power weapon btw. I dont see a reason why condi wep cannot have 900 range. If its bc of hammer then fine.. i wont complain about 1500 range condi wep.
