Guild Wars 2

Hello all!

I was curious what builds are currently the best and most “tried and true” for PvE content. I’m talking both in groups and solo roaming. I Run this build:

But I feel like I am too squishy even against some single targets. Any help or input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Although possible, it isn’t recommended to run a condition heavy build at the moment for Revenant. Our condition damage relies heavily on torment (which is IMO the worst condition for PVE, but powerful for PVP). Mobs in vanilla and HOT maps simply don’t maneuver all that much to take significant damage from torment.

I highly recommend using a Power variant build. OR, if you wish to play something different, Ventari Rev is quite a lot of fun, though clunky at times.

I’ll assume you do not have HOT due to the lack of Herald in your suggested build (Herald is an absolute must for ANY build), so here’s my suggestion:

Sword/Axe should be your primary. Good damage and some level of CC. You can swap Axe with shield if you wish to be more defensive.

Hammer can be swapped with staff. Hammer gives you a ranged option witch is extremely helpful in many situation. Staff provides the infamous CC on Staff5 (good for raids/fractals).

Scholar runes can be swapped with something else if it is too expensive for you.
