PvP Build (Shiro / Dwarf) Power Burst
Good video and interesting build.
My concern is (correct me if I’m wrong) there doesn’t seem to be any condition cleanse in the build. So I feel like this might look much better on paper than in a real PVP match with Necros, Engis, burn Guards etc.
I do understand that anet has intentionally given Rev a general weakness with no easy condi cleanse, but there are a few options. From weakeast to strongest, 1 is a cleansing on F1 swap trait in Invocation, 2 is the Herald heal skill (condis heal you during it), 3 is running Mallyx. I am not super experienced at PVP Rev yet, but I feel like at least one of these is a must pick.
I haven’t tried this particular build yet, I run glint/sin, staff, Sword + shield, mara + multiple runes. You will struggle with condition pressure, I’m able to deal with it through healing, Sword 4 and 5, evasion and block on staff and being extremely aggressive with my dps. My playstyle is to apply as much upfront burst as possible, get them on the back foot so they can’t free cast condis onto you.

What do you mean with Dwarf? Not just any dwarf, it’s King Jalis Ironhammer.

Jails heal is a Condi cleanse.
Plus if you trait corruption you can get a 3% dps bonus for every Condi on you and have a chance to transfer condis when you are hit.

I wasn’t aware of the condi cleanse on Jalis heal. That could make this more interesting for sure.
The Mallyx trait you mention though, that transfers conditions – I don’t really understand. The text says this:
“Chance when struck to copy all conditions currently on you to nearby foes for a few seconds.”
It sounds like this doesn’t actually cleanse you at all, it doesn’t transfer conditions. It just copies them. So it’s an offensive bonus to having condis on you, doesn’t really help you deal with the damage itself.
