Guild Wars 2

Sure the reduction of the aftercast should be an dps increase but so far my numbers havent. this might be due to me not playing it perfectly correctly. But I am having some troubles to be able to cast wells or nightfall inbetween two grvavediggers. I just wanted to say the old gravedigger felt more fluid as the new one.

First of all, I really liked to see some needed buffs for the reaper. Especially the greatsword which hasnt been great as a power weapon yet. Coming form a min/max perspective I really feel like only spamming gravedigger <50% isnt very satisfying. Since the patch I really gotta mash my gravedigger button so often to not start the auto attack chain because of the aftercast reduction. It just doesnt feel good to me. Gladly the Greatsword sees some use in the new condi reaper rotation, which by the way deals much more damage and is way more fun than the power reaper one. One the one hand im really glad that Anet sees that reaper is kinda underperforming in what it was supposed to be but on the other hand these werent the changes i was hoping for.

sadly all attack speed increasing traits are still worthless when you got quickness.

for someone that has “WTS Boston winner” in his signature you shouldnt complain about facing good players LOL

as much as i love power reaper. its sadly not good enough to be brought for one of the four dps slots. on another note the quickness from chronomancer is just quickness for yourself, thus you are better of with schoolar runes. But even than your dps isnt on par with an ele, thief, guardian or revenant.

i agree with your suggestions, they wont make necro op but will improve its viability.

well you could disabe action camera for a moment with your action camera hotkey then do your thing then enable it again. dont thing thats to difficult

Why doesnt Diabolic Inferno increase the duration of your burns by 33% ??? I really dont understand it. It’s literally the same Skill as Engineers Incendiary Powder. Which is also a Grandmaster Trait (Firearms), on a 10 second cd, applies 2 stacks of burn AND increases burning duration by 33%.

yes its kinda sad, that dagger has better damage then greatsword. the greatsword auto and gravedigger could need some improvments. the other skills are kinda fine dmg wise.

Here are my thougths about the revenant and his main hand sword.

The sword feels overall kinda weak in comparison to what other classes are able to pull off in terms of damage. This could be caused by the overall lack of consistent dmg amplifiers. Additionally the Sword auto has no good cleaving.
In case you want to maximize your personal dps, i wouldnt recommend using unrelenting assult. Since it takes roughly 3 to 4 seconds to complete. Even your Sword auto attack deals more damage per second. Sword 2 is hardly a damage increase over your sword auto. Either the sword auto dmg has to be improved or the other sword skills have to bring some huge burst dmg. Otherwise i cant see the revenant compete in terms of dps with other classes (even necro has better dps actually).
I did some calculations and with sword/axe the revenant could deal between 6k and 7k
dps. Which depends on your targets health obviously. I think revenant would be in a good state when he is capable of doing somewhere between 10k to 11k dps.
