Guild Wars 2

I am leveling revenant and alredy up to level 70. So far realy enjoy the feel of it and skills.
Only thing what bugs me is that sword seems to do realy badly against 2 or more mobs as skill 2 and 3 spread between them and sometimes hit even neutral mobs further away so basicly AA is best option. But just AA bunch of mobs down feels boring and i take quite a bit of damage to the point that hammer even feels more efective.
I have played ranger warrior and elementalist and all of them feels like deals better with multiple mobs.
Anyone else thinks there should be some change to sword main hand?

If you look through the forums you will see a lot of this. Revenant sword is the only weapon in the game that gets weaker when there are multiple targets around. Thematically, the sword is supposed to be about singling a target out and bursting them down. Sadly, sword 5 can be difficult to land and is the only real way to distance one target from others so sword 2 & 3 can get all hits on the same target. It is great on paper, but the implementation was off and it is noticeable to anyone playing rev for any decent amount of time. They did reduce the range on the sword 2 skill in the latest patch which is a nerf or a buff depending on your point of view.

Welcome to revenant and his only one and yet broken as kitten weapon due to kittened desing to make it “unique”. Enjoy your stay.

Oh and prepare for more nerfs soon. Its nerfnant after all

Welcome to the revenant meta; unlock elite spec, turn on all facets, AA, swap legends, AA, go back to glint and turn on facets, AA, etc. etc. etc.

During the beta weekends the class was fun as hell. It’s been getting nerfed since then with no actual polish to the other weapons, legends, etc.

Welcome to the world of revenant. The only profession in game where its weapons provide 1/2 to 1.5 second evade frames for free.

You’ll see a lot of people in game QQ about sword being this or that and overall weak. These complaints come directly from people who don’t make the most benefical use of weapon swapping and have a mindset that revenant is entirely about DPS.

Revenant auto attack will never out perform thief auto and their direct DPS will never match warriors. Their ranged DPS will never beat ranger and their AoE damage will never out perform elementalist. Their sustain doesn’t match scrappers.

However their access to basically every boon in game and the ability to share it, their use of stability of dodge, their use of massive stability removal and break bar and their horrific amount of movement skills and evade frames makes them overall one of the top tier Pvp professions.

If your content playing story mode and just spaming the first three skills on sword, you may as well pick up a warrior.

If you aim for fractals 80-100 where dodges remove boons, conditions are randomly placed on you and getting optimised DPS requires fast break bar, then rev comes entirely into its own with being able to single handedly destroy break bars, re-apply boons consistently, provide resistance where needed and automatically provide natural tick healing.
