Guild Wars 2

I tried it on the day of release, but my group ultimately all agreed a druid is generally stronger because of spirits an grace of the land trait. A rev is better off providing boons, and doing very solid personal damage. Hell, a tank rev is probably a better use of our class than being the healer.

Honestly, I am very happy with the Hammer overall. Rev needs tweaking but that’s on our underused legends like Centaur, Dwarf, and Demon, not our best weapon. Hammer 3 is amazing the way it is right now. With how strong Dragonhunters are right now, Hammer 3 is very good at defusing traps.

As primarily a WvW player, I really only use Jalis for the heal (which is very good) and the elite. The elite is solid when your commander is calling for and committing for a push forward. Jalis is what I swap to when I’m under pressure or when I want to refresh my energy from Glint, but that’s it. Dwarf road feels like a waste of energy, and the only time I use the taunt chain is when it procs off my traits. I don’t even hardcast it out of helping to strip break bars on a lord.

Jalis currently doesn’t do much outside of WvW, unless that’s the intent of the whole legend.

I occasionally hear Glint say something along the lines of “Dragon and hero together!”, but it’s mostly her grunting and growling. Shrio screams quite a bit and also demands that he be released when I use Impossible Odds. Jalis also sounds angry. I haven’t used enough Mallyx or centaur to know.

I find it Ironic how other professions won’t even touch their Elite but for Revenant it seems like the polar opposite.

Revenant was probably designed and developed at the same time if not in a very close time frame as the Herald. Other elite specs were created as either alternate or focused play styles of existing designs.

I can imagine the number of active Revenants that are using Herald will be among the highest in the “What professions are using elite specs actively” poll. Probably, along Reapers and Chronomancers.
