And to add: This also solves the problem that it feels that most legends havent left the BETA phase. You get more choices, so utilites you dont need dont waste THAT much space on the bar.
Just a shower-thought I had, I’m sure it would fix alot of revs problems with its lacking ability to pick different utilities instead of the given ones by invoking:
Elementalist can switch between 4 elements but afaik switches mostly between 2 elements. In extreme situations the other 2 elements might come in handy.
So why not do the same for Revenant:
- Instead of 2 legends, we get 3 legends to play with at the same time
- No need to get free utility choices
- probably still switching between 2 legends (glint and shiro for example while jalis could be used against too much pressure)
- this would also solve the energy/cooldown dilemma
Yes Elementalist cant switch weapons. But if you calculate the skillchoices elementalist has, with the one Revenant has, its quite similar after this possible fix:
Elementalist:
4×5 Weapon skills
1×5 Utilities (choose-able!)
Revenant:
2×5 Weapon skills
3×5 Utilites (not changeable individually, only through legend-change)
In my head, the difference between the two utility-bars is balanced since Elementalist can use every Utility with every element, so theyre able to individualice them. Revenant on the other hand can only individualice all 5 together and maybe has a few he wont ever need. Therefor Revenant can use more utilities just like Ele on weapon (If the energy-usage stay the same, theres no spam possibleby swapping legends, wouldnt be different to its actual situation).
The cooldowns:
We have 9 seconds CD on legends right now. If we have 3 legends (Glint, Jalis, Shiro), and youre on Glint for example and want to switch to Jalis:
Glint is on 9 sec CD and Shiro is on 9 sec CD, youre on Jalis. So the inactive legend gets a cooldown aswell (unlike switching elements on Elementalist).
What do you guys think?

Forget it, seems like Anet doesnt care at all. Havent seen any reply by them to ANY of those problems. And I like GW2 because WvW is pretty unique here. Meh, other games got the same PvP arena scheme. WoW got better PvE but I still enjoy it here. But WvW… they could make this game so special.
Well Rev and Warrior are nice epi targets, but since HoT condi is more of a thing. It wasnt used that excessively preHoT. Trailblazer and several builds allow it.
Also: So many people went to bed with wet eyes because of the so called “powercreep”. But they just couldnt handle that every class got its dps boosted. So to maintain the sustain from preHoT but still do more damage than those “powercreeps” they need to go dire/trailblazer.
However, we can still run a poll to see if the majority of the community wants another 4 week tournament
Did you saw a poll? I didnt. So I keep asking.
Will ask until someone of anet says that WvW has been abadoned.
The permastealth-trapper thief needs to be nerfed. There is no counter play to this. It’s toxic and should not exist in this game.
Nobody has ever seen a permastealth-trapper. How do you nerf what isn’t there?
You seem new to WvW. Take a look at perma stealth condi trapper. Its a thing. Welcome anyway.
I think he was making a joke :P
cant take jokes about this builds, its serious kitten .
After 4 years someone started crying about this. And been crying for months in so many posts. Enough with thiss already. ANET responded in the latest patch. They are aware accept it or play something else. Thats what i do when im playing a class with no chance against a ghost condi thief for ex.
Well, enough with those people who dont care. The more threads, the more likely something will happen. Condi wasnt a big thing 4 years ago, not it is. Think again. Answer another thread then, if this isnt what you like.
checked all, got nothing in WvW.
EDIT: ah kitten , the main checkbox wasnt activated, just the smaller ones -.-
backline and auramancer are still good and mostly needed. The pressure by meteor and its ability to take out tricky placed siege is important.
I honestly think that Anet doesnt care. PvE works, in pvp epi isnt really in use afaik. Its extremly abused in WvW since weeks, as you see you cant even react.
But hey, atleast you can roam condi free cough oh no, did you just get killed by 3 roaming trapper thieves? Well bad for you eh. THEY have fun. So everything is in order.

Why are you kittening? We got buffs….so kittening what if they gave Alacrity to a Legend no rev in this game will ever use.
Why is this sub forum so full of self entitled players who refuse to actually see the bigger picture of this game? Keep quiet before Anet hot fixes our buffs away. The players who know the big picture know that we should ALL keep mum…..we got away with one here fellas.
So, I should be happy to have ‘paid for’ a specialization that is no longer a specialization? I should be willing to give up anything for the good of the game?
It doesn’t matter.. Mesmer got buffs right? I suppose you’d be happy swinging a sword like a warrior, yes?
It doesn’t matter that Mesmer is a unique profession with it’s own identity. We should be willing to hand that to revenant because…. reasons… right?
That sounds a bit too close to religion or some segments of current politics for me.
Leave the game then. Get your pink tux and sit on the street all day long while playing on your ocarina. Special enough then? Gosh, mesmers got problems.
We got tournaments in 2013 and 2014.
Nothing in 2015
Nothing in 2016
Those are 2 years anet didnt give a kitten about WvW. Yes pvp might be a big thing for you, but we have nothing happening here.
Is there any new tournament planned? I’m wondering since it was announced to have seasonal events in WvW like 2014, spring and fall tournament. But Anet, seasons happen every year, also 2015 and 2016 and believe me or not, 2017 aswell. Now, are we getting ANYTHING? Because I dont want to believe the desperate “WvW is the unwanted child”. There are still masses of people enjoying it, but feeling kinda left alone.
Title says enough, we got the chat option to choose heal combat log, but its not working. pretty sad if you ask me.
What I don’t understand is why you were standing still long enough for their group to set up a takedown. OP claims cleanse didn’t work. That seems unlikely. Even if you only cleansed some of the condi it cuts the dps significantly. That gives you time to heal and cleanse again.
As explained, you cleanse all, you get all those condis up again. I tried condi thief for 2 hours in guild arena vs 2 friends and both had cleanse. Its extremly easy to keep those condis up all time even if all get cleansed. The CD on traps is super low + all other traits/skills that grant condi. Condi on CD? stealth around and wait.
What is this? Its Anet not caring about what their ‘balance’ does to WvW.
If you can, just learn to live with WvW being treated as the unwanted step-child or you’ll forever be upset about what is happening with the game mode.
Ye well people are arguing “this game is dead anyway, anet shouldnt give us dire and trapper stuff, they ruined everything”. No, those people USING it ruin everything. If the game is dead for those people, couldnt they just … you know, leave? I still enjoy this game but those depressive emo-condi abusers are annoying as hell.
Perma stealth, high condi damage with trailblazer/dire build and yet it even gets its traps boosted in latest balance patch. People now get hunted all over WvW by 2-3 condi trappers roaming together, you dont see them. You just see 15 confusion and 25 poison which is instantly up even if you cleanse all.
Completly ruining roaming. Best thing is, they even hide in keeps after they tried to cap it. Perma stealth -> place some traps at a portal entrance and viola you can farm people. what the heck is this?
Hadn’t heard about them getting alacrity until seeing this thread.
I don’t love the look of it.
Executing the same ability over and over and over and over and over to keep a buff up? Yeah, that’s not going to make me want to throw myself out a window.
i dont think your intended to keep the buff up its just some added flavor to justify using the energy. the reason to abuse that power is 8-12k on a single heal with a 2 second CD. and you can trait for protection every time you move the tablet. as well as pulsing regen and you can tap the light field on for condi clearing on demand or use it to cover your rez or protect your retreat. plus infinite access to knockback is great tho the knockback range needs to be higher :/
Dont forget the energy usage, try it out first. Its cost intensive and while you spam the heal, you can only autoattack.
ehm, you need to trait Salvation for it.
I bet 80% of all the people complaining never actually tried a ventari healer.
I haven’t tried ventari heal yet
why even comment then?
got 1600ms in Divinity’s Reach now. Wow.
Since the update I have an unusual high ping (normal 7-20ms) with ~250-350 in PvE and 1400 in WvW (without a blobfight). Anyone else experiencing this?
nah bro that would suggest revenant was near complete. i mean honestly look at how many weapon choices we have. look at the fact that we dont have an extra couple utilities per legend so you can pick how you want to play each legend. usually utilities are broken down into “sets” like traps shouts wells physical banner cantrip ect. and you usually have 4 of each per class revenant gets told to kitten off you get 3 of each and if you use one you use all. in exchange for that bullkittentery you get to select two sets but in exchange for that pleasure we will make sure you are limited by energy so you cant make full use of them and your weapon at the same time.
Dont forget the poor underwater combat. Anet: " lets give him just 1 weapon for underwater, 2 legends which are easiest to redesign for water and just ignore the others. What? Herald? Nah, ignore it. Wastes too many time – they will buy HoT anyway!"
Bandwagoning is caused by the linkings. Instead of linking servers, Anet should have deleted 1-3 Servers and grant free transfers for a week.
With the 500gem transfers to low pop servers which are linked with T1 servers is just ridiculous. THIS is causing serverwh*ring.
Now theres barely a server community in lower servers, since their community is changing each new server relink. No community = no reason to stay. Its been completly ruined by Anet. I hope they think about moving towards the old server system, just less servers. The PvE-world is independed from those servers anyway. Its just affecting WvW. But since Anet seems to just move forward blindfolded, this wont get any better.
Devs play on a lot of different worlds and move around frequently and that includes the WvW team. However, the WvW team also plays together on a different random world once a week.
US only or also european servers?
There is a safe way for the OP to unlock twilight to give up their own Sunrise and end up with 1000g of value.
- List Sunrise for 2999g, leaving the OP with 2549g after fees.
- Put in an offer for Twilight for 3000g
Net cost: only 500g.
OP ends up 1500g poorer than expected, but still has a legendary and both skins.
Why does no1 read what I wrote? Its Acc-Bound.
Found a legit source about the new planned Legend:
“Nono” (If you dont know: The vacuum cleaner from the Teletubbies)
→ Youre able to use racial skills only
→ Sucks basically (just like a vacuum cleaner)
Its great, its wonderful. I love it. You will love it. 100%
Or just half the damage of Debilitating Slam and remove the chain so you got instant access to it, put the damage so low that its usefull for the CC only.
unfortunately it is locked out and they are unable to be used with revenant since it’s utility bar is locked to stances. It’s sorta dumb.
I wouldn’t say it’s dumb.
Yes they are the only profession not to have access to them, but racial skills are locked out of PvP for everyone (for balance reasons) and it’s not like many people use them in PvE either.
What I would hope is that eventually Revenants have a legend for each of the major races. Presently the entire Vetinari legend is essentially Sylvari racial skills.
So because of one gamemode the BETA-mode of revenant should just be ignored? Oh lets remove food and other nourishments aswell, and lets see … legendaries and ascended, no profit in pvp. Lets remove it. Get it?
Its just an incomplete class design, they got their money with HoT. Revenant hasnt been improved since then. Bugs (which worked in Revs favour) got removed, while nerfs were added. Maybe some condi revs want the asura ability to daze? Maybe some revs in WvW (yes this gamemode actually exsists).
I have motion sickness and the scene in the turning room wasnt really healthy. As soon as you see such a scene, move the camera above you, so you can only see the ground, no more spinning walls. Everything was fine then. Maybe that helps.
Well, I dont know how to approach a trade in which no one has the fear of getting scammed. I want to trade my Sunrise (bound, unlocked skin) for 1000g. How do I want to do it? Someone sends me Twilight, I make Eternity and send it to its owner. And I get 1000g. Not a single person in my guild has it tradeable, sadly. Anyone got an idea how to make this more safe? It sucks in these situations that we dont have a simple trading window with another person.
Whats the matter? You get the loot and the kill. The other players is an angry kid with issues. Youre the winner in all cases. “Boohoo the other kid doesnt let me throw siege on him”?
Your server dont get the score, so no you are not the winner in all cases.
Who cares about that single point? The Blob vs Blob does the numbers. The amount of Alt+F4 idiots is low enough to ignore it. Just laugh at them.

Youre sick of dire builds in WvW? You like to gank condi thieves or others? You like to brag about how you smacked one condi guy with 3 others and yell “JUSTICE!”. Well, then I would like you to introduce my new little guild growing in numbers “Hunting Condi Kids”.
But Attention: With that tag, you going to harm some dire-build user feelings like hell, so prepaire to get focussed and bring some cleanses! Main server is Piken, feel free to join from any other server if you feel the same way and need to get aggressive in guildchat so this forum isnt full of kitten kittens.
Just whisper me!
Yea i noticed that today in queensdale mini dungeon with the bandit hideout.
I used the hammers at the door ,went too close to the door and it stopped spinning.It makes sense actually, you dont see other aoes going trough walls do you….tho it can be annoying sometimes
Every AoE goes through walls/gates. Its the only skill which is useless in narrow passages etc. pretty terrible.
most people are looking for AoE damage which Guards,Revs,Eles,Necros and Mesmers can provide
Druid can nuke down single targets really fast since staff autoattack isnt a projectile, staff3 has a great heal, and staff4 is awesome for slowing down the backline since they mostly lack stability/cleanse. So even with a roaming build youre usefull
even kicked from the squad
I never got kicked from squad because I was using ranger (the days when ranger was “ugh”). You just need to find a server where people dont get kicked because of their class. On Piken we just ask for a specific class if we lack it. No one gets kicked if they dont change class or arent on the desireable. Why kick people if they feel more comfortable with another class? As said: find your server.
PS: Its “Classism” :P
Interesting idea, but you HAVE to watch it with the heavies.
Warrs/Guards/Revs get more armor than the other classes. If you overtune that, you make them pretty much invincible.
Vitality would be the better condi-def stat then.
Why dont you get their names then? Target, block, check who you blocked, report. Not that difficult.
Why is this conversation even still going? An army that falls apart when its leader falls is a weak army. Taking out the commander has always been a valid tactic in war. If you can’t function without your leader, then you deserve to lose. Learn to function as a collective and all work together as one unit with no one person being more important than another. You know the saying “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link”? Don’t have any weak links. If one person dies, it shouldnt make a difference, you should all be capable of continuing to fight on.
Yep, back in the active WvW-days we had 1-3 spare tags who tagged up as soon as one cmd went down and kept fighting. Dont know why no one does it now.
If your commander runs cheesy builds, runs way ahead of your blob, its his fault for getting pulled. Normally cmds ask NOT to focus the other cmd. But if the cmd does yolo-moves you cant really blame the others.
Get the cmd in party with guards giving stability, cmd should have a class/build/armor which gives him enough sustain to command even when focused. Since one ex-cmd here was crying around each time he got pulled, I tried the same thing with DH on an opponent cmd: its not that easy, most of them (with a pre-made party) have enough stability to get pulled.
Why so? no blob will move all over the map for a roamer.
Blobs already move to groups of 3-5 people when they are marked by watchtower. I lost the count of how many times I had 25+ to come to my group when we purposefully put siege in the range to be marked by the tower to see if a small group would come fight us.
so you put siege close to a watchtower. Now imagine your team has the tower? Do you just ignore them? Maybe its a fully sieged tower and 5 guys gonna use a ballista to shoot it all? If you roam, be aware of watchtowers, theyre pretty obvious. A group of 3-5 are not roamers, theyre gankers. I specify roamers as single people.
And not to forget: If its your spawn, be glad. You can fight as much as you want and respawn when youre dead. No more running all over the map.
Enjoy the moment.
Sentry/watchtower markers already more then enough to promote lazy scouting. Putting more of these ingame going to hurt the roam scene even more.
Why so? no blob will move all over the map for a roamer. If another roamer decide to hunt him – good, isnt that what roamers want? fights? or do you just farm camps/sentries when you “roam”?
well then make the trap larger and “a minimum of 3 players have to cross the trap withing 3 seconds to activate this trap” and youre done. single roamers are not affected and you cant drop traps on the whole map anyway. No one is doing it now with supply removers. I see 1-4 supply traps per day, thats not much if you take a look at the amount of players.
Just dont go there. As soon as theres nothing to fight they will leave.
He said utility, not food.
exactly. so utility: -20% and food: -20%, that would be a start.
