Guild Wars 2

HI, How many of you roam solo on your power rev these days? I love my Rev in sPvP and PVE but with the abundance of thieves in WvW I find solo roaming on Rev a bit difficult. I end up switching to my Power War or DH. Rev is totally fine in a small group or zerg setting, In small group I get the back up of a druid or ele or even a DH.

Any tips or should I just stick to my War/DH for solo roam?

Thanks

Rev isn’t a great solo roamer for numerous reasons. For starters their biggest weaknesses are thieves and condi builds which both dominate the roaming scene. This is augmented by condi builds having access to dire and trailblazer stats as well as thieves not needing to worry about capture points at all.

Additionally Rev disengage is pretty poor unless you are fortunate to find some mobs in the direction you need to go. Even then the disengage is no where near the level of stealth heavy builds. So while you can still roam on Rev it is best to duo with something that can help you cover your weaknesses such as an auramancer.

Thanks. Its what I figured. Seems best when paired or in a group. Thanks for confirming.

Gaze of Darkness really needs a bigger range and lower cooldown… Stealth builds in WvW are getting big time out of control.

My friend roams power rev paired with a druid. Beyond that, it’s generally better to roam with someone anyhow so long as neither of you are garbage players.
