Guild Wars 2

I ran a few dungeons, world bosses and 4 fractals on Revenant. I got to say the utility for support is nice such as projectile block and stability as well as some blast finishers.

My main problem at this point is a huge lack of traits that are more viable in PvE. I undersrand we are still missing one legend which will be the “Power” trait line. However the other two trait lines we would still have to choose would be rather lacking in my opinion. I can see how these traits can synergize well in PvP but I’m not seeing this much this way for PvE.

Retribution: Mostly this trait line lets us take less damage. Great for PvP and WvW. The only trait PvE worthy is empowering vengeance, though most parties have a ele or warrior to stack might so this is somewhat redundant.

Corruption: Mostly this is condi driven which is great if you want to go that route but PvE is mostly damage/berserker driven. I could see this line being somewhat useful if you are going against mobs with lots of condi spam. I suppose Maniacal Persistsnce is somewhat decent as well.

Invocation: This line is more of a hybrid healing. Out of all the lines this line seems to be a bit odd to me, however it is also the best line that will synergize with berserker with Rouling Mists and Fierce Infusion.

Salvation: This is obviously the healing line. Which is okay I suppose if we are getting new challenging content that requires a lot of healing and can’t be mastered with dodge/blocks/standard heal/ and other standard damage mitigation skills.

So overall I don’t see much synergy with Berserker builds besides the invocation line to some extent. Yes I know we still have the power trait line coming but I personally feel the other lines we get to pick from are really lacking. Of course we still have yet to see the specialization for Revnant as well so perhaps this concern is for nothing if the Power line and the Specilization line have a better synergy with berserker.

And yes I am a berserker fan boy. If Anet is movin away from breaker meta I’m fine with this however I hope that means we are getting actual challenging content that can’t be done with berserker.

Thanks for reading and I’d love to hear some other’s input.
