Guild Wars 2

im just curious.

Is rev a buff bot? dps?

since HoT came out all ive been doing is HoT maps I havent touched fractals yet. After playing a good amount with all the elite specs, I simply cannot see where Reaper/Herald fit in a team. Mind you, those are 2/3 of my favorite elite specs so far, I just dont know what they bring to a team really. I was thinking Herald would replace warrior, but Berserker elite spec just does way too much damage.

• rev is very high in the rank of dps
• on paper it should be also a good healer but the community hasn’t fully figured ventari yet i guess (and it needs some tweaking imho),
• with glint and jalis we have great support/off-support

as you can see we can almost fill every role, maybe not the best in each, but quoting DnT’s Nike “Rev is one of those classes you’ll be always glad to have nearby”

Each stance has a very defined role, therefore you can mix your roles depending on which stances you take.
Shiro is very mobile and offensive
Mallyx deals with your parties’ conditions and the enemy’s boons while doing nice damage
Jalis is your defensive backup with stability, flat out damage mitigation and sustain and some CC
Ventari is very supportive but the defense from Protective Solace is invaluable
Glint is BoonBotOp 2.0

Although Ventari is underused since it needs some gerais, overall it’s great to say every legend has its place and is unique.

I have to comment here. So I’ve been playing revenant since friday and I’ve taken it to Mad king’s labyrinth numerous times now. That lich boss that everyone is so afraid of? Mallyx makes a short work of it, boon stripping whenever it’s needed, assisting with condis to a great extent and all in all just destroying the boss. That boon strip though, best in game imo since it’s pretty much spammable.

Ventari has been figured fully before BWE3 :P. BWE3 only made it better.

Yeah as i said on paper looks good, maybe it’s me but it feels really less responsive than any other legend. As you said in another thread rev is all about opportunity skills and cost. Ventari is not very opportunistic since the tablet can’t be played in a reactive way. You have to summo it, and the movement is bound to CD and cast time.
I like move around the tablet but imho there’s no point in destroy it with the elite (since without the tablet you don’t cast a thing) and not having it out on legend swap.
While the heal on trail is super cool it makes it slow, an almost instant movement with a bigger heal just on landing would be much more responsive and “opportunistic”. Other skills are fine.

I already gave this kind of feedback both in BWE2&3 but apparently this is how we are supposed to play it, is just a shame it feels disconnected from the other legends

That is why I think the tablet is clunky. You need it for the slot skills but you have to keep moving it constantly and before you can heal you have to have the tablet out.

Revs role is fun. They are masters of it.

But yeah, they can do a bit of everything, and as a Herald, supplement a group with a variety of boons and boon duration.
