Guild Wars 2

Colin.3741:

Was looking to start a Rev as a fairly new player, but looking at some of these posts it seems that it got nerfed pretty bad, at least thats what people are saying. Is it worth starting a Rev, or should I wait and play other characters?

Also race/gender suggestions?

Thanks friends

It was a heavy hit for us and what makes this so upsetting is that it’s a straight nerf since other skills weren’t improved to make up for it in any way. It tells the story that Anet is unhappy with the strength of the Revenant and wants to tune it down, not shift the balance or playstyle.

As for the outcome, remains to be seen. People are always quick to preach doom and gloom and while it’s totally understandable after such a major hit it can have a silver lining as new builds or styles might emerge. A crappy thing is that we can’t really expect the weapon selection to change much since we have no real options there.

As for your own char, the great thing about gw2 is that you can try out any class at max lvl in pvp by simply making it. If you enjoy melee and want to be a heavy hitter check out thief or guardian (dh) which also comes with a lot of utility should that be your interest. If you just wanna annoy people, check out Mesmer etc. I’d say just spend a day or two trying stuff out and you might end up on something you really enjoy.
