Guild Wars 2

Rev still needs at least one conditions based ranged weapon and one Physical underwater weapon to complete it’s weapon options and compliments.

As it stands the Rev only has the Mace for a Condition damage and it is purely melee range. A ranged weapon that dealt condition damage would be beneficial for investing in Condition focused armor, that would give the class both a ranged and melee condition play-style option.

Underwater, the ONLY weapon is currently a ranged condition based weapon. This makes no sense considering most builds will only use physical based weapons, limiting the effectiveness of the class underwater. A second weapon option would cover the shortfall.

After playing a Rev for 1 year the class still feels like it’s in Beta, and not completed I think these two additions to the class would clear it from Beta stage.

Irrelevant, the primary attack attack 3 and 4 is condition damage focused. The weapon should be conditon based and was designed at a time when only 1 weapons was ever considered for the Rev. With the exception of the Elementalists all other classes have two weapons. One for conditions one for Physical damage. This standard should also be applied to the Rev considering the Rev is a two weapon set class.

How is it irrelevant? That single skill probably does more dps than any other class underwater lol. 3 and 4 also have power components btw.

tbh, there are bigger issues than an additional underwater weapon for Revenant. They made spear lazy-design so condi users and physical users have an autoattack. For underwater battle you just need to cage with spear5 (which is pretty slow but whatever) and/or catch up with Phase Traversal and just autohit them down. Shift Right click spear2 for autoattack.

You’re both right, really. Revenant spear was obviously designed before revenants had weaponswap, and needed to be able to provide ranged, melee, condition, and power all on one set. The result is… well, probably the best it could have been when you’re loading that much onto one weapon.

Now that weaponswap has been introduced, though, they probably should make the effort to split what is now revenant spear into seperate weapons. And, in the meantime, provide a viable ranged option for condition revenants. The slowness of hammer means that it isn’t even a viable option for triggering Rampant Vex.

Yes, they do. They will never feel complete until they get two more weapons. I don’t even think they need to mess with the spear, really. Just leave it be. They need at least one cond-enabled ranged weapon and at least one other condi or hybrid enabled melee weapon.
