can somebody sum up nerf?
- Staff 5 got nerfed (50% damage reduction)
- Sword 2 got nerfed (33% damage reduction)
- Staff 5 got nerfed (50% damage reduction)
- Sword 2 got nerfed (33% damage reduction)
wow staff was nerfed pretty hard. last time I played it wasnt all that to begin with. So I assume it must have had a buff between then and this nerf. was that the case?

Nah, it never got buffed. SotM was really powerful if you landed all hits, shredding a bunker’s health down by 50% was even a possibility. It also had CC and evade, which is why it got nerfed. However, the problem is Revenant might not be powerful enough anymore to make a big impression.
^ The cooldown of Warding Rift was also rised in PvP from 12 to 15 seconds (was previously nerfed from 10s to 12 half a year after HoT release), so is not exactly true that “they nerfed staff damage due must be a defensive weapon”. And isn’t just about the block, because WR is also the only second source of Herald blinds after Gaze of Darkness.
ANet said that they will be alert about those changes making the meta game “too tanky”, as happened in some seasons (celestial ele meta), but I’m looking every stuff Sindrener ups to His Youtube channel with His Thief and He’s struggling to kill half of the classes even being +1 (some matchups in 1 vs 1 are just impossible).
So, Rev does less damage and is less tanky than before; what prevents next Pro League from being a tank/holder fest? Teams wouldn’t risk to roster Thief + Rev for the kills (would reduce the team sustain).
Don’t worry, thief will still be king of WvW roaming anyways.
Were those nerfs only in Spvp or were they also in WvW? Last I played I felt really good roaming as rev.
What are the good roaming classes now?

Last nerfs stayed in PvP so Rev is still decent for WvW roaming.

If you’re in a group yes. If you’re solo, well good luck with the abundance of thieves and condition roamers

At least with thieves I’m loaded on marauders and cavalier weapons/trinkets so I can pretty much tank them on my way to the castle.
But being loaded on conditions isn’t fun ;(
