Guild Wars 2

As ive been playing the beta, ive noticed that even with full berserkers gear the dps my revenant puts out is very low, especially compared to all my other level 80s, even my guardian which my build isnt meant for high dps, the revenant does not put out any spectacular conditions either and when running with the celestial gear it felt squishier than my ele in knights gear or other classes in full zerker armor. The healing done with staff still feels pretty lacking as all healing does for me, and the weapons feel overall slow and clunky after the first few hours of playing, ive only gotten to run dungeons and other pve so far as wvw on my server is currently about 20 gates of madness guys camping our spawn and i havent got a chance to go in spvp yet so i dont know how it is there yet, although i do feel that as of now the revenant needs overall buffs to most of its skills so they trigger faster and do more damage, and add extra mechanic to some skills such as make the projectile sheild reflect instead of absorb projectiles and other small things like that to make the rev better, because already dungeon groups are asking me every so often to ditch my revenanf and get a different class and ive been kicked many times due to lacking capabilities in the revenant, overall please buff the revenant as its currently sitting a tier lower the other classes in how powerful they are

yes.

They cursed this class by making it overly technical.

raw dmg = might stacking
hammer pewpew dmg = maintaining darkfields to pewpew through
pbaoe dmg = better learn how to manage energy with those upkeep hammers
condi dmg = better learn skill rotations
skill targeting = better learn how to face your character

I think the class will be ok in the hands of a great player. I think the class be be absolute trash in the hands of a casual.

Although do note
Ventari: Healing
Jalis: Tanking
Mallyx: Condi
&most likely Shiro: Damage

so maybe the dmg is inc with another legendary.

I think its a bit early to judge the revenant on ‘lacking damage’. They’re basically missing the (what’s speculated to be), raw damage weapons and specializations.
Its like playing an Ele that has no fire attunement.

That being said, I do feel like it is lacking a bit in other parts. Personally I feel like Staff skill 2 is useless.
Long cast time, and have to hit an opponent that is currently attacking. All that just for a bit of weakness?
I know it hits multiple targets, but honestly Hammer 2 on warrior is basically the same thing, but faster, stronger, and more weakness, even uses the same animation, just single target. I honestly feel like I put myself in more harm when using that skill, as opposed to simply auto attacking.

TBH i cant see a real actual scenario use for a staff.

Even with Ventari Legend having hammer for the ranged option and being able to micromanage tablet at ranged is infinitely better than trying to micro manage it while in melee.

Yeah was gonna say the only legends out are tank, heal and condi. So if you want to see some dps you should be making a condi build. You can speculate condi n tank with carrion amulet or condi n heal legends with settlers, try that.
