Guild Wars 2

I’m sure it’s asked a million times so another can’t hurt I guess.

I’m planning on using my level 80 boost on a Rev. I have 13 characters at 80 already so this isn’t my first by far.

I left the game just before HoT dropped and came back about 3 weeks ago.

Looking for a decent build and gear stats for a fresh 80 Rev.

I plan on some PVE along with a little WvW.

Not looking to be a god in either…just looking for something with decent damage and survivability.

Also I know MetaBattle is a thing but I don’t see much there for what I’m looking for as a fresh 80.

I personally use this build from metabattle:

I have adapted a few things to more suit my playstyle. A. I use Corruption instead of Devastation. B. I use S/A instead of Staff.

PS. Plan for WvW if you intend to use rev there, for PvE anything goes. They mostly use the same gear anyway.

I just started to play a rev in PvE using full Viper Mace/Axe Glint/Mallyx. It’s definitely not optimal, but it’s a lot of fun. Probably doesn’t work at all in WvW though.
