Guild Wars 2

thanks for your suggestions.
currently i use one Ascended sword and the rest are exotic weapons. I’m on my way to get a 2nd weapon, but which should i choose? axe, staff or hammer?

Hooglese.4860:

Uh.. Best weapon for rev is a different story. The legends are just the utility skills. I personally like shiro for that, but Glint is probably the best for raids

legendary weapon

I’m not sure which weapon I should be going for. I thought sword would be best but with recent nerfs, i’m not so sure anymore. I also raid and do group content a lot, should i be looking at a staff as well?
What about my 2nd ascended weapon, sword/axe is what i use, but I’m supposed to use staff in raids, and i also use my hammer a lot.
Someone give me some advice please!

1.Empowering Misery. I believe they put healing skills on a longer cooldown for Revs due to the fact that we could hit 2 in a row if we change our legend. The class is made to be toggled between the two often, so that pretty much answers a lot of your questions – and no 2 legends can counter every single offense, that would be pretty OP.

2. Embrace The Darkness applied torment every 1 sec to nearby foes, which is a nice perk. If you happen to have the Corruption Tree, the last tier allows you to use “Diabolic Inferno” which applies burning when you hit your Elite skill. Many guides suggest you toggle Embracing the Darkness on and off to burn aoe. It works pretty well, but most people don’t run with the corruption tree once they unlock Herald.

3. Stun Break. Changing your legend will break a stun.

4. Combo. While leveling Shiro/Mallyx is probably best, it’s what I used, but the Dwarf spinning hammer is pretty cool too, at least for tagging a lot of mobs on events. If you’re in love with Mallyx, then I couldn’t suggest Shiro highly enough. Mobility and incredible damage is what he brings to the table.
I would use Shiro to Charge the target (Phase Travel), or to run at high speeds (Impossible Odds) to my destination, if you’re getting stunned, you can Reposting Shadows to get out, and then Charge back to them via Phase Travel. I spent most of my time in Shiro, and i think once you realize how mobile it is, you will too. Not to mention that you can burn anything down in seconds if you use Impossible Odds + auto attack.

I’ve heard that condi revs are not very effective, but that’s just what I’ve read- compared to other, more effective, condi professions.

I would go with Shiro/Mallyx for leveling, burn your energy between Unrelenting Assult (shiro) and Embrace Darkness (Mallyx).

I did pretty much the same thing with my Rev, and enjoyed (and miss) my time as Shiro. The mobility and damage is great.

before i had herald unlocked, I went with Dev/Invo and corruption.

I would flip between burning my energy on impossible odds and then flipping to Mallyx and toggling Embrace the Darkness on/off for the free fire, and using my sword/axe abilities to burn fast enough to switch back to Shiro. works pretty well, and they (guides i’ve read) suggest it as the highest dps build if you already have a rev in your party.

Holy…
i can’t stand listening to this 60yo cigarrette smoking hag scream every time i flip to Glint. Is there any way I can turn off these audio cues?

Rev can switch legends to activate another heal if needed. This one is weak because it’s where we spend most of our time-doing the most damage. If kitten’kittenting the fan, switch legends and use a real heal.

For the love of god, Greatsword.

that’s a refreshing change.
