Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, would like to ask what does a revenant normally play as during PVEs? I have tried to roam around forum, is it mainly DPS / buffer? Since it is a heavy class, can it possible to be a tanker, draw aggro or etc? Is this class accepts by most of the raids / fractals / runs compared to thief? If someone has a solid PVE build please do share at here, thanks.

Agrro has nothing to do with your armor class. While you can tank as a revenant not every raid boss needs a tank. Raids are taken for facet of nature and to fill in whatever buff is missing (usually fury).
This is the meta build

In “hardcore” content, we are basically buff bots.
However, for dungeons and open world we can fill pretty much every role.

I myself played several fractals as a Venrathi healer with great success.
(I have to mention though that this doesn’t always work! It can fail just as badly based on the team your with and the content your playing.)

Revenant in regular PvE content is very versatile BUT you need to plan ahead.
Otherwise, yea it’s Glint with Shiro for us basically.

Read up on some other topics and you find the class has plenty of problems.
Most of them originate from the talent trees. (Dwarf and Venrati in particular.)

That all said, it can be a very fun class to play. But it isn’t for everyone.
