do you guys think the revenant will get any better in the future? im not referring to the bugs getting fixed but whether or not it will become a staple in things like small roaming groups in wvw, dungeons, etcetera etcetera. right now i feel that its hard enough managing a 1v1 on a revenant while i can even 2v1 on my engi and ranger rather easily. what do you guys think? will there be a significant improvement for the revenant in the seasonal patch? the build variety also feels a lot more limited than the other classes.

Roaming? Roaming is fine as long as you got other build than meta. I guess it’s because all those meta builds are made to benefit somebody else by your expense.

They will probably fix all revenant bugs when the next expansion hits.

that’s the major problem with GW2’s B2P model: once they have your money (ie: you buy the game/expac), they cease to give a kitten about fixing stuff, because it doesn’t directly impact their bottom line, whereas in a subscription game, if they leave stuff broken for 2+ years, people will unsubscribe.

In fact it’s worse than that, in GW2 they are better off not fixing things as it will make people stop playing, which actually saves them money (server time, network bandwidth).

Basically the entire B2P model wants you to buy the game, and buy stuff from the TP or frustrate you into stop playing, until the next expac hits, then repeat the cycle.

That’s why bugs aren’t fixed, and why there are so many skills/traits left to rot.

downed state is bad for PVP

This is wild speculation without a shred of honest truth. After all, you mention bugs have been gone unfixed in a Revenant bug complain thread for 2+ years, except how can that be true when the Revenant launched with HoT only 8 months ago? Hyperbole does not support your argument.

I’m sorry if you believe this is the case, but even B2P games in every other genre need to continue supporting players to ensure continued success. The reality is that some things are more important to focus on than others, resources are finite (including time), and triage is necessary. If your particular issue has not been addressed, then that sucks – but that doesn’t mean Anet is running some sinister dark plan where they do only what is necessary to get your money and then jet away to the Turks and Caicos for some evil laughter and martinis.

They will cover with more bugs from the new weapon set and trait, will nerf so badly the last one, and make the new one so good on carrying players that no one will care about the bugs.

1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.

Revenant It’s a very good 1v1 class, out of condi warrior and necro you can beat any class. And you can also manage a 2v1 for a lot.
It’s also has a crazy mobility so pvp is not where a revenant need buff.
For wvw I think its Pretty fine, as a romer it is really good.
And it also good as a backline.
It could have some buff to the pve aspect where, at least in raids, isn’t really that good and a lot of people are starting to push out revenant from squad composition.

Can still beat those too if you don’t go all braindead faceroll.

Well actually in pvp I always open the match as a revenant pushing far, so I duel very often reapers and condinoobs warriors. And since this season started I have lost maybe 2 1v1 at far, and I did it all the way to legendary division. So Yes as revenant you can also beat condi warriors and reapers but it is way more hard than Powers specs.

Reapers aren’t hard with Mara amulet, Warrs are threatening because confusion rekts revenant pretty bad. Pff, that sword 3 x5 ticks instead of intended one can instagib any revenant but it’s also a cheese to use with infuse the light if you can condi cleanse it after (kinda abusing runes of lyssa for the second season so far).
