Hey everyone. So I’ve been taking a break from GW2 since the release of HoT but I’ve just recently gotten back into it and have been playing around with the revenant.

After playing power revenant in pvp I noticed that I didn’t have much access to stability with Shiro/Glint for stomping purposes. So far the best method I’ve come up with is to activate the blind while in Glint right before the downed player’s stun but it isn’t too reliable when there are lots of enemies around.

I was wondering if there were any revenant/herald stomping techniques that you guys use or if there are any resources on the topic.

Thanks alot!

Okay, I will answer this quickly for Revenants overall:

  • If you are running Glint you can Blind stomp with Gaze of Darkness as you described. Alternatively, Staff #3 can be used to Blind before you start stomping, but that’s rather unreliable
  • If you are running Retribution you can use upkeep Facet of Nature + dodge roll for Stability and immediately start stomping. FoN will make the 2.x second Stability stack into little over 3s required for stomping, that’s enough for 1v1 stomp most of the time.
  • If you are running Enhanced Bulwark trait with Retribution, just dodge roll to get 2 Stability stacks and stomp.
  • If you run Mallyx Revenant or have other source, Resistance will allow you to resist Necromancer’s downstate Fear without need for Stability.
  • In teamfight, you should Sword AA with quickness on downed body unless there’s nobody else to stomp.
  • You can avoid downstate CC from professions using projectiles in downstate if you happen to be using Hammer or Ventari (for some reason). Just Hammer #4 or put Tablet with Protective Solace (bubble) on top of stomped enemy. This will work against Revenant, Warrior, Engineer.
  • If using Jalis, put road (Inspiring Reinforcement) on top of stomped body to get pulsing Stability.
  • In addition, Staff #2 is very effective way of interrupting rezzes/stomps.
  • General rule – unless you’re running Enhanced Bulwark, you’re not the best at stomping as Revenant. That’s said, both Power and Condi rev are extremaly strong at cleaving downed body due to abyssmal damage and CC and can easily capitalize on enemies that overcommit to rezzing. Stomp if you have to, but you’re not the best at it.

Hope it helps.

I think revs use the dodgerolls stability trait and maybe also the trait that doubles up the stability.
