I don’t understand why the profession with least amount of build variety is the hardest one for the balance team to get right.

Hell I don’t even play rev but this patch confirms my inactivity in gw2 will continue. Ill check in at the next balance patch but with the abysmal release rate and skipped balance patches who knows when that will be.

Im almost satisfied with rev buffs but still waiting ventari tablet to move with me like spirit weapons. Skill 6 would be like command skill and i can manually move tablet. Then i think that mallyx elite needed some buffs and staff 2 faster interrupt. But its not bad update just not enough.

It’s not bad because it didn’t nerf the rev even further?

To be fair. Revs didn’t receive any nerfs this time around, and objectively received buffs. Having said that, they literally slapped duct tape on a sinking ship. It’s better than nothing, but isn’t going to do anything.

I was really hoping that they would reduce the ICD of Venom Enhancement, or just remove the Poison application and make it a Bleed application instead with no ICD.

I like the idea of ventari revenant, but i don’t like the alacrity.
First as a thematic point of view it makes no sense(i don’t see any purity of purpose here).
Second as a PvE prospective it force us to camp in ventari and just autoattack and spam Natural Harmony every 3 secs(so yeah we pulse alacrity but don’t really use it because using any skill aside from the casual cleanse will waste energy that we have to use to fuel the NH spam. So your actually overhealing the hole time mindlessly just to grant alacrity.

By the way i like the tablet autospawn but in PvE is pretty useless because you’re camping ventari because if you switch legendary stance you lose 9 secs of alacrity for your teammates.

And just to make me a sad centaur the rev has been gifted with the only buff(alacrity) that is not modified by buff duration, yes facet of nature is there staring at you powerless.

Damage buff are always appreciated.

I don’t understand why the profession with least amount of build variety is the hardest one for the balance team to get right.

Actually, in the context of Guild Wars 2 balancing, I think the problem with balancing the revenant is because of the limited build options, not in spite of it.

For most professions, being able to individually swap out skills means that you can fine-tune your build based on your performance. If you need more condi cleanse, you can slot in a condi cleanse skill. If you need more CC protection, you can slot in a stability and/or a stunbreak. If you need more damage but, for whatever reason, don’t want to change amulets, you can put in a utility that directly or indirectly increases your damage output. And so on. Because of this, other professions can fine-tune their way into a ‘Goldilocks zone’ for the meta, where they aren’t too weak to any specific counter.

Revenants don’t have this. Revenants have exactly 20 different combinations of utility skills, and even that figure requires the questionable assumption that all legends are viable. Apart from the limited tweaking you can achieve through traits alone (and the revenant seems to be lacking in the sorts of traits that you can take in lieu of having a utility skill: most revenant traits are basically damage or healing) your only option if you identify a weakness in your build that needs to be shored up is to basically switch to an entirely new build that may open up another weakness.

On top of this, the fact that revenants take five utility skills in a package makes them more sensitive to any one skill being changed. For other professions, if a key skill gets nerfed, they can swap to another skill that performs a similar function and still be okay. For the revenant, though, a big nerf to a key skill can bring down the whole legend.

This is only exacerbated for the fact that many of the nerfs to rev have been done due to their dominance in the ESL environment – where the weaknesses of the revenant were covered for by other team members. Most sPvP players, however, don’t have the luxury of playing with a team that covers for their weaknesses – the most successful builds are the ones that are at least reasonably self-sufficient.

To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

I like the buffs because it made Ventari somewhat viable. Bet some WvT blob-material healer revenants love it. However, I started playing revenant as a damage dealer and always looked upon revenant as damage dealer but I am not even sure any more.
Maybe revenant IS a psycho class with multiple split personalities after all…

People who like ventari role have been waiting longer for buffs than people who like the damage dealer role though =P

And what about us Bunker/Condi revs that are waiting on Jalis and Mallyx to actually be fixed? We’re still waiting
