Rev Or Thief - PvP/WvW
Oh I play both profs, but I don’t play wvw lol.
Umm they are pretty similar and you’ll be surprised but rev can have much better mobility depending on the situation. Like for example rev can shadow step through the Kyhlo walls and floor straight onto the point if it has a target, however without they are forced to take the stairs. Also if in combat rev can reach the speed cap with superspeed, but uses most of its energy doing so, where thief cannot quite get there without a trap build and trapper runes -.-
I’d tell you to play revenant, simply because it just wrecks face. While yes you can dominate anyone with thief now in 1v1’s. Almost… You will still be doing almost as well with a rev in 1v1 spots, annnnd you have a bazillion times stronger presence in a mid fight, and you have the tankiness to 1v2 for a good 30s on far or until your team can lick up mid.
However one of the scariest things any PvP’r can attest to is sitting on home and seeing a thief just casually strolling up to them. I prefer thief actually in general, just because a thief’s build before a game is always premeditated and rebuilt around the team comps, having only 1 main dps set and 1 set of utility skills. This makes for much more rewarding kills and the necessity for some tricky plays.
Both are viable, thief is more of a roamer, and plays the decap role better. Rev can sustain on a point much better. So they are similar in some ways, but depends how much you want sustain vs unhindered mobility. (no need for a target) I do however hope they nerf Rev mobility a bit, so thieves always have the edge, as revs always have the edge in terms of sustain. I’d also say thief takes more practice and skill to pull off. Bad thieves hurt their team more than help, and it sucks to be on a team with them.
if you like easy faceroll go rev if you prefer challenge go thief, as simple as that
