So, what do you all think? With the average D/P meta build, what are your strategies? I just seem to be getting ruined by them even when pressuring them. They’re able to block and heal to full quite easily while I use a lot of evades of their 2 skill, UA.

What should I try?

Can’t comment on D/P vs rev personally, but using the strat I use with S/D, spamming the dodge skill flanking strike during UA, works well.

Just dropping a blind field with black powder if using D/P while they teleport to you should work. Or just git gud and learn to interrupt it during the initial cast (I still have no idea what that looks like).

Hmmm, I do like the interrupt idea with more headshots. I’ll have to go to a dueling channel to try dueling them more.

Avoid attacking when they have their healing stance up, and take improvisation. The stolen ability can crit for 4k easily, and applies slow, which with headshot and pulmonary impact can apply huge pressure without a serious attack. Other than that, save dodges for unrelenting assault (the animation looks like a morris dancer doing a twirl lol).

for me the easiest way is to apply heavy pressure, not giving him any room to breathe
as soon as he is the one applying pressure you can really get in trouble
and really make sure not to heal him when he uses the glint heal
other than that most revs are relativly easy to kill, for me it’s the oposite of fighting a warri, instead of kyting and waiting for his invulns to go on cd and then having easy pickings i need to get him low fast and make sure he can’t really react

Smart pressurizing, making sure to avoid the telegraphed key spells and not attacking while they block.

Thief is very decent against Revenant.

UA is cancelled if target goes in stealth.
