Guild Wars 2

after spending a good bit of time yesterday testing revenant in dungeons, i noticed that with the rolling mist trait revenant doesnt really need prescision at all to have a high critical chance, and being able to permanently have fury on glint stance and with facet of nature while in other stances, that in mind i played around with the builder and made this build, i would love to hear opinions on it

the idea is to use the rolling mist trait to achieve high crit chance without needing presicion, wich leave us to use valkyrie gear to exchange the stat for vitality, while still achieveing high crit chance thanks to the trait and vit to pres food and accuracy runes

pros
-very high critical chance on fury thanks to rolling mist (82%)
-high ferocity (224%)
- high party support with gling stance; protection,swiftness, fury and stacking might and facet of nature
- fast personal and party stack of 25 might stacks without need of fire fields thanks to strengh runes, shared empowerment and facet of strengh and unrelenting assault
- decent survavility with altmost 21k hp and 2200 armor, stability , protecction and the 50% reduced dmg from Jalis elite
- decent aoe with unrelenting assault, vengeful hammers and chaotic release

cons
- condition builds

might want to trade fierce infusion for cleansing channel or change Jalis for Mallyx at the cost of vengeful hammers and stability/rite of the great dwarf

i tested a similar build, but with sword/axe (i think sword offhand is not that good) and shiro stance, IO is so strong after u gut all this boons on u.

I also run in Devastation line Assasins Annihilation.

But overall it works pretty good in dungeons and fravts

I did all valkyrie armor, everything else zerker. 72% ctit chance with 21k health made me very happy. If you drop the fury though there goes the ctit chance so have to always stay on top of that.

I think for Raiding, a mix of zerk/assassin/valkyrie will be great. With perma fury from Glint being 40% crit chance and any other precision buffs (e.g. Banner of Discipline), you’re gonna cap out crit chance, so some extra health will be nice. Same with WvW. I feel like a Glint hammer build could be great for WvW backlining. I’ve hit 10k Coalescence of Ruins on squishy targets… on a 2s cd.

Ever slight tweak using soldier weapons. But yes I really enjoy this build and felt like I could still take a few hits.

I have somethin’ similar, but instead of Jalis I’m using Shiro for that quickness on demand and backward roll which breaks stuns. It works really well even in sPvP (gotta love quick stomps).

oh it sounds realy fun build and such

idk about jalials dont like his skils that much so i think i gono switch it into shiro but question though how do you upkeep the fury so high when swaping to other legendes from glint?

well, i had general pve and raid content in mind when i made this build thats why i chosed jalis since 3 more usefull defensive utilities (50% dmg reduct, stability, aoe hammers) make up for on demand quickness from shiro (since the gap closer, lunge back, and petrify arent very used in pve), main dmg comes from sword by stacking might and fury in glint stance, Jalis only working as a defensive shift when needed, using One with Nature (double press F2) to get fury in the short time that you spend out of glint

for spvp or wvw Shiro would probably be more usefull, or even Mallyx

Try this if you want to do more damage http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAsein3guNSuQ7JRboVlsP0rS4IaWJ4EdskFNFidMppNtBYBRwugJshA-TBCBABGt/wlq6UpaBnpEELlkittenAyTfQAPBgAAHA/23++bgzP/8zP/8+93f/93fLDg+YA-e
52% precision is an important number. It’s enough to reach 100% with a warrior banner or 99% with a ranger in the group.
Go full berserker on armor/weapons and full valkyrie on accessories if you don’t want to use precision food (you can use vitality food ).

Feel free to use str runes if you prefer.

made this alternative version of the gear tossing in a couple of soldier and cabalier pieces, the crit on fury is the same, the ferocity is similar too, and hp too the only difference is that it trades 300 power in exchange of 800 armor

i think the 300 power could be overlooked since this build has enought dmg modifiers on traits and runes to give the reve an extra 40% dmg to targets below 50% hp, we dont know how hard HoT content will be but from anet imply´s we can assume that a little extra toughness wont be bad

Are we in agreement that this trait is just called Rolling Mists now even though that doesn’t make any sense?

I’m just teasing, I don’t care. It’s just kind of funny I don’t think I’ve seen it written correctly a single time because “roiling” is such a weird word that no one really uses day-to-day.
