Why do a lot of Revs use this rune in PvP now?

So called healing revenants or regular power builds?

Anyway, answer is one for both – they are kittened. While I can see usefulness of water runes for healing builds, I cringe at the idea of healing revenant in spvp. Not only it is easily focus but also slow and lacks condi cleanse.

Power revs are using it. Some Engis do too

The boon duration/heal on heal are the two best aspects of the rune. I’m not sure why they’d be running it outside of that.

Boon duration for retribution and stacking healing power for shield’s 5? Meh. Burst that’s what makes revenant in spvp. And a good +1 potential too.

And how you know this info exactly? Last time I checked you couldn’t check out teammates/enemies builds ingame. Also in the World Championships most revenants used Rune of Surging, instead of the original Leadership or Strength.

I’ve seen a consistent number of Revs use that rune in custom matches. Granted, I know most things that occur in custom matches shouldn’t be representative of anything useful or good, I just wanted to know if there was some new phenomonom going on that I didn’t know about. I’ve also seen Engies using water runes. I thought the healing benefit of the rune may be the driving force behind why people use it, but it’s probably the boon duration coupled with the healing benefit… IDK
