Guild Wars 2

Invocation has traits for +7% damage and +20% critical chance while under the effect of fury.The only source of 100% fury uptime is Facet of Darkness. Facet of Nature + constant legend swapping comes close though, at 75%. Will revenant become all about staying in glint and maintaining fury (risks being dull playsyle) or are the alternatives strong enough?

I wish they’d buffed Roiling Mists by adding a non-fury effect (like dmg/crit at high health or while using upkeep skill) instead of increasing the effect of fury further than the previous +50%.

I think the alternatives are strong. You don’t even need to have Facet of Darkness on 100% of the time to get perma fury. I think maintaining fury is gonna be a thing for sure though and probably part of the task of playing a Cavalier/Valkyrie Revenant. That being said, I don’t think it’ll be too strong considering you have to manage your energy while applying Fury and using your skills so it might be strong but have a skill gap required to play it and also counterplay in being boon stripped/corrupted/weakened.

You can already have near 24/7 up time with invocation by itself.

You have two heals, and can switch legends back and forth every 10 seconds.

And there is runes of rage.

Superior Rune of Rage + Invocation MINOR + Facet of Darkness is 100% fury uptime on both legends if you keep Darkness up for at least 10 seconds.

Superior Rune of Rage + Invocation fury on healing skill is 100% fury uptime regardless of your equipped legends.

Invocation fury on healing skill + Facet of Darkness is 100% fury uptime on both legends.

1 Guardian or Ranger in the party + Invocation MINOR may also be enough.

So it’s easy enough to achieve. Get Rage if you want to be 100% sure and you also want that sweet +5% damage boost.

EDIT: forgot Facet of Nature.

OP ? Not at all + not everyone will pick elite spec.

You do realize you will give up alot for that sort of offensive power. Fury is easy to come by from other classes. I never seen a fight without Fury.
Also do not judge the new skills based on existing contents. Who knows , when you actually face the new mobs, you will wish that you shoulda kept quiet about “oh don’t give me skills/traits that are very strong”.

I wasn’t so concerned about balance vs other classes (revenant has been weak in the betas esp. in PvE), but internal balance, like that min-maxing would push you into stay in one legend and even skip using your stunbreak.

@KingFarout: the fury on heal has a 20 second internal recharg I’m afraid.
