Guild Wars 2

Hello there guys. Revenant mace is my favorite weapon in the game just after Guardian Sword, leaving a condition field to be boomed to gain stacks of might is fun and everything about what can be comboed with Mace/Axe gives me a lot of fun.

I know it’s not a weapon used competitively, but my wife and I pug Level 50+ Fracs with our characters and we know the fracs well enough to avoid dying often.

I would like to know if someone has a fun Mace build I can use, preference without Viper’s since I am not into crafting either.

There pretty much is no viable build for mace aka Condi Rev in PvE. The most you can get is about 8k burning ticks (with full viper and corresponding runes/sigils that boost burning) which results in around 10-12k dps max. The main condition, Torment, is useless for PvE as Rev due to Melee use of Mace/Axe.

In PvP/WvW Roam on the other hand, Condi Rev is a great option as you spam 15-25 stacks of Torment if played right. Still, in PvE this is not sufficient as Torment only carries good damage while moving.

I feel with you as main Rev, I also would like one hell of a mace build, but when watching the recent year’s patch notes on Rev, I expect there never will be a good build Condiwise – or Rev-wise anyways….

Rev condi is very much so centered around PvP.

Torment is a PvP condi, like confusion, and the way Rev’s condi system works is by punishing movement while tossing down a lot of AoE to force someone to move.

Searing Fissure is easily spammable, and in PvP, no one wants to stand in it to eat the nasty burn stacks it gives, which makes them move and proc torment. Axe gives a gap closer and chill to help keep people at close range and force more AoE and torment proccing.

None of that matters in PvE though because enemies will just stand in Searing Fissure, which is decent burn damage, but now all that torment you apply is acting like a weaker bleed stack, which won’t do you much.

For PvE I would go for Mace+Shield and go for a bunker build….maybe add Ventari so I can spam Blind and Prot like crazy.

Has basically the only relevant revenant guide for condi/pve. The biggest problem with mace is most things are dead before you ramp up to maximum dps.
