Guild Wars 2

I honestly don’t see how rev is meant to deal with condi classes. Even single condi classes (aka dragonburns) can easily outdo what little I can scratch together. Jallis heal clears a meagre three condis in exchange for a forced legend purely for condi clear… what the hell am I missing? Are we meant to all use Sig of Energy and dodge all day because thats our only counter to condition classes?
And Mallyx, our supposed condition legend… needs to strip condis off allies to get resistance. If you’ve only got your own condis… well you’re kitten outta luck.

we have staff 4…….but its not removing conditions from yourself as often as it should

it only removes conditions 30% of the time……and onyl 2 of them…….with a long cooldown in this cripple spamm frost spam meta….

it sucks T.T

Interested in the answer as well. I’m coming from Celestial Signet Necro so the adjustment is really big.

reve just sucks atm. so annoyed i wasted time making it :l

I was asking myself the same question. How is dps revenant supposed to clear conditions? one cleanse every 9 seconds and two every 15 which bugs out half of the time? How is that even remotely enough for how fast classes apply conditions?

I think the only way you can reliably remove conditions in anyway as a Revenant you would need to take the Centaur Stance, since you can use it to remove 3 conditions every 5 seconds if you have the energy, plus it heals per condition used. In pvp, even the glassy thief had more condition removal, so I feel like Centaur Stance might be a requirement to help survive, given how many conditions there are. A dead dps does no dps afterall.

If you want to deal with conditions you’ll need to either run Mallyx with demonic defiance, Jalice, or time Glint’s heal to negate them.

Also, pain absorption always gives resistance, it just gives bonus if you have more on you.

Centaurs can’t remove condies too.
30 energy for 3 condies? Better use shiro stun for 50!
P.s. condies applies too fast at pvp!

Wow, I guess we actually are as bad at condi removal as I thought o.o I was expecting a dozen “l2p’s” but I guess this is actually a huge class weakness.

After the hit on our survivability it’s even a big problem for ventari/glint…

You could try lyssa runes but tbh theres not a kitten thing you can do

GW2 is in a condition meta still with the introduction of a class that lacks condition removal.

The irony

SolarDragon.7063: Are we meant to all use Sig of Energy and dodge all day because thats our only counter to condition classes?

That is exactly right.

This is obviousily an oversight, the devs can sing the praises of two heals at once all they want, but if the only thing we have to scape condis off is Jalis and legend swap then we are doomed to fail.

They thought too highly of the double heals. Because they are all inferior.

I know it’s not what you wanna hear, because you are pigeonholed into one certain stance, but Demonic Defiance is a great answer against all conditions.

But it’s nothing for the meta assassin/glint stance build.

go to learn from thief who also dont have good condi cleanse but stealth
so learn to engage and disengage fast with shiro and heal through with life steal and fast dmg
use your legendary swap, generosity, staff, malyx etc… just time it right and you’ll do fine

Thief condition cleanse is superior to revenant one, you also got Shadowstep. There’s nothing you can do if you face heavy condition builds.

This. It ‘s not really a problem for me, even running the only two legends that can be used properly for now (shiro/glint), you already have defensive abilities that can hold conditions. I mainly a learn to play issue. I never understand why, when you give something to someone, they already want more and more. Revenant’s weakness is condition.

Thieves are often traited to remove condi periodically while in stealth with no additional initiative cost. Also, a revenant isn’t a thief 100%, we have ways to engage the enemy quicky (Phase Traversal) but no ways to disengage as easily as a thief (Shadowsteps).

Its a joke trying to enjoy yourself in pvp with the amount of condi everyone is throwing around. Anet did not think this whole condi weakness through. Forcing a melee player to take a condi stance just to have a chance in pvp is unreasonable
