Guild Wars 2

I find that movement speed is lacking for the Revenant during the early stages of leveling. Phase stepping to enemies works for the time being.. but yeah.. just my thoughts.

it is. its a big meaty mess imo. I find Rev to be boring and meh, until you get Herald. Herald makes it alllll worth it. In actuality, thats a bad thing, but ill take it

Step one: Use Jalis and mace and or hammer
Step two: Cast Inspiring Reinforcement
Step three: Blast the field with your weapons skills.
Step four: repeat this few times.

You now have perma swiftness

Target mobs which are far away, spam Phase Traversal on Shiro.

I put a sigil of swiftness on my hammer until I get herald. I can stack up to 2 minutes of swiftnesss

Phase Travel while oof & marking far away enemys/ white thingys = move at the speed of light

Phase traversal is pretty spectacular in mob-heavy areas.

Even just following sparkflys and fish when underwater, it took me about 3-4 minutes to unlock all the way points in mount maelstrom just now.

Staff 4 works as well.

I pop speed boosters like candy.

Wait, with phase traversal you teleport back don’t you? So how can it be used for travel?

Where do you buy Speed Boosters?

They fall like rain from Black lion chests, so over the years they have just sat in my inventory. Now they get used.

Use the “About Face” option, you can bind it in the options – pressing the key will make your character face the opposite direction it is currently facing. So About Face>Riposting S will make you travel forward, takes a little bit getting used to it but it’s useful on a lot of other characters too.

As for rev mobility, as someone mentioned you can stack swiftness with Jalis and mace/hammer/staff though this requires you to be stationary for a few seconds and can interrupt the flow of movement. Someone else also mentioned Sigil of Swiftness, I used to use these all the time if you were killing a lot of mobs it’s free perma swiftness.

I find that rev has one of the best mobility for leveling up, the OOR Phase Traversal is insane, try using necromancer, then you’ll know the meaning of lacking movement xD

Warhorn and spectral walk.

No mobility problems on my necro.

Aside from the part of if you get to close to a mob it can put you in combat? That’s a problem lol.
And they have one skill based mobility skill – flesh wurm, which isn’t that good. So comparatively, necro is lacking – every class can get perma swiftness. I never said they had problems, only that they were lacking.

Lol, I wasn’t calling you out man. On Rev just gotta slot a staff if you know you’re gonna run a bit.

Traveler’s Runes did the bulk of my pre-Herald work. However Shiro’s Impossible Odds on demand Super Speed was also amazing for skipping mobs who put you in combat, cripple you or chill you. Also Phase Traversal can be good as well if it’s heavily or densely populated.

Yea…I have no problems with mobility on my Revenant…Phase Traversal out of range mobs for continious 1200 range teleports. No mobs in range? Use impossible odds for on demand movement speed until you see one. Toggle on and off liberally. Use either Jalis + hammer for swiftness, or Malyx and his little area jump ability. Actually one of the faster moving classes even pre herald.

Ahh, Shiro then. As I grow more comfortable with the place I’ll swap the horse with the murderer.

You know, you can also use unyielding anguish for short range teleports that are moderately spammable. Individually its not a whole lot, but it does add up

Here you go:

Rune of the Centaur + Ventari = perma swiftness.

nope! it’s just a shadow step that requires a target

I was thinking of phase smash, heh

Just to echo what other people are saying, if you’re in a mob heavy area, you have a 1200 range teleport on a very short cd.

One really fun thing to do is blink through walls. I had an enemy targeted while playing Battle of Kihlo (or however it’s spelled). He went inside the clock tower while I was still on the ground. I activated Phase Traversal and teleported from the ground outside into the top floor of the clock tower.

Honestly, in open world, I think we might be the most mobile class.

Sword/axe problem solved with assassin stance. almost perma superspeed. See a Mob far away? Shadowstep, axe4, oh look I’m ontop of the mob. Could’ve sworn I was like 2k away. The class is extremely fun. I kinda hate these forums coz it’s always full of people whining about things the class clearly already has plenty of…

Woot? Perma swiftness in herald.
