Guild Wars 2

The amount of salt in this thread is real. Ps real range of CoR is 900 cus bug.

That theory makes a lot of sense and could also explain why unlike every other channeled skill in game UA breaks on stealth (when obviously channeled abilities were meant to be a counter to stealth). Howered as far i rebember my evade on ua broke that time, dindt made full ss but i took also a hit from illusionary rogue that killed me before the last hit of ua. Weird stuff.

Interesing enough i dont get blinded from vet scouts blind field during phase smash unlike UA.

Since UA ends prematurely all the time, any chance it wasn’t still going?

Check last post from my bug thread (in sig) for pic.

Also the stupid bugs on Unrelenting Assault need to be fixed that let you get hit and applied with conditions while using Unrelenting Assault. Lastly, the bug that makes confusion damage hit for every strike of your Unrelenting Assault. It’s like Retaliation on steroids and it’s so annoying.

You sure those are bugs? Pretty sure the second is working as intended. And on the former, if you mean due to moving through wells/traps, that seems like legit counter play.

Then a counterplay to dodges are wells/traps as well? Cus dodge = evade. UA = evade
2 days ago or so i got hit from maul during UA. Thats definitely not working as intended.

Last evening I one hit KO a daredevil in our guild hall.. he had me low but RNG gods were gracious, i hit him in the sweetspot 7,3k 9k BAM. It felt great and i was at the top of my game.

Thug life. Howered it doesnt happen often unless someone run away from rev in a straight line.

Ross Biddle.2367:

Don’t worry. Ant will fix this bug soon enough.

Tooltip update: Trap effects are sometimes invisible.

~Fin

ArenaNet dev spotted.

Malicious reprisal should work like signet of might. Theres no reason to take it atm. Too random. If it gave 5sec unblockables when you struck foe below 50% hp that would be totally different story.

Cruel could be changed to provide 2 stacks of might for 6sec when your attack get blocked.

Maw/lb5 are invisible sometimes and doing well. Seems its not something they fix anytime soon.

Tier 4 for 2mil karma/piece. Im up for dat. Too bad we wont see more cultural armors otherwise revenant set would be one for charr.

I hope they never fix it. I was so tired of these baddies hiding behind a wall/cannon. Its revenge time where now i can hunt them all and laugh in ya face <3

Maybe for once people learn to play instead of camping a tower and pewpew people.

So..i have runned in this cookie. It almost felt like someone wished worked (is it Christmas yet?). I dont kow what caused it or whatever but during UA i dindt had evade frames. The situation i was in was 1v2 where mesmer was downed and a ranger. Both ranger and clone managed to hit me in evade frames. Literally..lol

Herald is pretty balanced. Revenant is not.

This from the leader of the Nerf Herald Brigade? What changed?

Leader of the nerf brigade? haha. No i was just saying that Glint is too strong compared to others legends and she still. The only tools that are little balanced still Glint. She just give us tools to be a little competitive. But she actually IS the revenant, she have all of the tools in one legend (tanking with healing, stunbreak, condi and power aoe…) shield is too ower best defensive weapon. That make actually too much for one legends. They really need to improve others. Even now, with phase travel nerf, it hurt shiro legend a lot. The only thing still with him is impossible odds. I’m really tired to this dependance to Glint…

Glint is all around legend and its not the one that need nerf actually. Problem is everything else is underwhelming. A tank that doesnt tank, condition dealer that deal too much condi, a healer that heals poorly.. As for Shiro it not olny hurts but often PT bug out for no reason. Its broken in current state – Shiro no longer does it job at chasing. Glint is fine tho..except chaotic release

Mallyx dealing too much conditions?! Maybe you want to say no enough. Embrace the darkness torment is laughable. The elite really need to pulse others conditions too.
It’s not only legends is talent tree. Corruption traitline is mostly scrawled coz it was designed for a condition eater. Redemption traitline is fine but really lack symbiosis with others traitline (exclusly focused on healing and ventari legend). Shiro phase travel don’t work one time on two… The thing i’m afraid is that there is not going to change since months, at better. Look at warrior for exemple. Core classe are not going to change and, if there is changes, no since months or years. I think we need to be happy with only Glint for a while…. Pretty sad for a game designed for pvp.

Ah sry.. made a typo. Edited

Had hope for no icd.. and 6g to craft hmm..ill pass i guess

How much does that heal for?

I have never understood why ranger is the olny class in gw that has to chase his mechanic.. like really.. All the pets should be unlocked by default. Maybe someone can explain that thing to me?

I think Roy is on vacation, the Revenant developer

i dont think so, but he really deserve one. Yes there are things to hammer out but Rev is in super good place. Let them fix the big stuff and they’ll come back to balance

He said during the live stream about taking a vacation and Ruby said, he deserved one.

Hope so, cus we really need him. We have fewer utility skills and most of them are not viable. Its not right.. Im hoping for a day to break myself from Glint. Boonbot playstyle is not really what i looked for.

tough/vit/condi dmg/condi dura..something like that.

Salads are bad. Even for dinner. Meal is the king. First rev is a charr. Thats enough i believe

You should specify then if its intended for pve/pvp/wvw. But generally speaking for maximum dps output you go for viper with Mallyx/Glint. Howered if you want to be tanky id suggest traquil something (new stats) now that the food is nerfed.

Condi builds are too weak so for now dont bother till they dont fix rev one day.

To answer OP question.. cause revenant goes into the mists. Another dimension. That skill has 20cd so its not gamebreaking and quite easy to mess up as you cant control direction like with whirl for example. You can hit someone 9 times if he was noob enough to stand in front of rev, or 1 hit max if rev casted it from side.

Tbth i threat UA as a defensive mechanic rather than offensive. I usually try to bait out stunbreaks for jade winds and aa with quickness during that time. Damage done is much higher and often if someone fall for it hes usually dead unless it was engi/war/mes with clones up and f4. Its quite hard to pull off as we dont have good access to hard cc but yet its far more dangerous.

For some idk reason when i try to aa someone with IO i usually miss tons of my attack even when i am next to the target – usually its the first hit that has problem connecting.

Same here, I use it mainly to avoid damage rather than dish it out.

Also I’m having that same problem. The sword 1 is super unreliable. I have to literally let go of my mouse while auto attacking sometimes for it to connect. It’s so annoying. I really wish they’re just increase it’s cone or make it a slashing attack.

Well from what i noticed when i try to move around controlling my camera my toon aim in the ground..i think thats the reason why i miss. I never had that problem on other toons. So its not olny awful to start with stab as it looks ridiculously but it seems to also have some problems with connecting. Im still voting for mesmer sword aa aimations over the crappy warrior ones. 3rd looks fine, but 1 and 2 has to go..

When other revs UA i will either take advantage of it and use Glint heal or catch him right as the animation end during aftercast with something. I prefer phase smash for it as it allow me to take 0 damage while critting other rev for over 4k but somtimes i use jade winds as well.

Scowny.1654:

Yeah, while exploring in PvE. I’m not running out of energy as it happens while I’m not in combat at 50% energy.

Take a look if they deactivate while your level downscale. Like moving from level 17 area to 16 on the map

in pve while exploring maps?

ghost.1804:

3. 25s CD- again not very long, and since it has a 3 second duration it’s pretty much a 20s CD

Except cd reset once it channel is over so actually 28sec. So where you got 20cd from? Its impossible to circle between block and evades for rev, even if you wear staff and sword offhand.

As for UA damage in spvp where i run berserker amulet with invo/retri/herald i do 8,8k (all hits crit) so its far from one shot. Meanwhile i can sneak up on a thief with pp set and do 16k under 2 seconds with basilisk venom and immobilize at 50% hp. So if youre not fast enough to react..rip.

They should just make new weapon type and put 2h axe in there. Thats the olny thing we miss atm.

Axe is the olny component that miss 2h version i believe

He got #rekt

One question..if revenant is so devastating in wvw why everyone and their mother doesnt play one yet? Cause in my server and the servers i fight against i dont see many revs at all.

BlusterWolf.2103:

Devs were active on the forum cuz the PR team/higher ups told them to and give them permission to talk with us on the forum, in order to create a image that will make potential buyers have confidence in the expansion, now they got all the money, who gives a fauk. Just wait for next expansion and they gonna fix some of the things they should fix since launch.

Indeed, that was pure PR but people these days arent really smart so whatever..they praise dev to this day even tho theres not much reason to do so. A lot could be done but instead we ended up with half broken class and it wont change anytime soon. Everyone and their mother runs Shiro/Glint as everything else is useless along with crap traitlines. Without Glint rev would be unplayable as Glint is the one that carry rev so hard.

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

Pardon my ignorance, but what are you talking about?

About the kitten ugly norn that has nothing to do with our spec instead of Glint in herald artwork.

I wish to play condi rev sometimes but hes trash in current state. Both pve and pvp wise. No wonder why he got kicked. I wonder where is that promised trait to boost torment damage to stationary targets. It hurts even more given the fact we also lack ranged condi wep where torment would make much more sense than on a melee wep.

I understand it sucks a bit but cmon, it has been done quite some times now, just join some community/organized runs

Oh please, this idea… With current system, you CANNOT organize your try properly. See GW2C has more than enough ppl every Gerent event for TWO maps.
Yet you leave billion of ppl out, because you just cannot pick a map and get your ppl in. Fake taxis everywhere, map full/bottlenecked immediatelly. And this isn’t about getting 20 of your guildies in, it’s about having ~80 ppl fooded and educated.

I don’t mind hard events, but this solely depends on luck if you make the jump to right map. All that for ONE HEAVY piece of armor collection.

Meanwhile you can easily PUG raids…

You can pug raids? I tried it and all of them failed within 2mins everytime, now im looking for a raid guild as im tired of pugs. Howered i agree that gerath is “too op” and needs some nerfs. Locking last piece of mistward behind is just…

Howered if some of you are on EU then https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/CHAK-The-Gerent-Slayers/first#post5775947

Hope to finally get it done and never again.

I would like to see full underwater pvp map. Doesnt have to be ranked or smth, just as hotjoin one will be enough for me. You know.. for fun.

Wont happen cus exalted outfit is coming

So apparently some legends are aquaphobic?

Nobody care about underwater tbh but Glint facets should be usable.

Just because you don’t care about underwater combat, doesn’t mean nobody does. I for one quite enjoy underwater combat in this game. I just want it slightly revised, more so for PvP. And it’s just ridiculous that there’s only two Legends that function while under water. There’s little excuse in the case of Glint as well, with only Elemental Blast being “problematic” and in need of a adjustment to function under water. Ridiculously lazy on their part if you ask me.

Who said i dont care? Right now theres nothing to do and basically no reason to go there at all other than map completion. I actually wish for more uw contest but it wont happen and like i said majority doesnt care and even hate uw as they cannot adapt to 3d envi.

Still hoping for pure underwater pvp map.

To change herald art to the fugly norn?! Please bring me back old Glint art.

Anyone believe they will do some balance patch in 2016? Stop kidding yourself

Lets be honest, thats “strategy” doesnt work. Its basically lets do balance patch 2 weeks before leagues and hope we dindt broke the game. #esport

Raid is just a dps check. Nothing else really

I still really think that I would love to see a condition Greatsword elite spec for Revenant. I keep saying Kalla Scorchrazor as the legend too as she wields a greatsword and would offer us another female legend and our very first charr legend! That or…. SPOILERS!

Show Spoiler

hide spoiler

Trahearne would also be awesome for a condition greatsword spec. Actually making it a hybrid condition/power, range/melee weapon like the underwater spear would be freakin awesome and let it synergize with the majority of Revenant builds. Plus it would be awesome communicating with him again and having him be your sidekick this time around. You could still be partners in the fight against the dragons too!

Special mechanic could be calling on the power of Caladbolg for some special effects

Both Kalla Scorchrazor and the SPOILER sound fairly cool , can imagine both playing out nicely.
In responce to the other post though, who is this Artorias you speak of? He sounds exciting as a potential legend

Hes not from GW but he has cool moves in his sword that doesnt resolve around spin2win like everyone else in this game. http://darksouls.wikidot.com/knight-artorias

Revenant
Legendary Dragon Stance: Fixed an issue causing upkeep skills to not end immediately when invoking another legend.
Fixed a bug where underwater legend selections were not remembered.
Soothing Bastion: Added a displayed effect for this trait when it is off recharge and can be triggered.

Wow, exactly 20k! On a serious note tho for some reason gs and rifle berserker f1 does more damage than arcing slide and killshot while they were supposed to be weaker but more spamable.

I think cruel should just go. It rewards bad gameplay. Why you should be rewarded for failing to land a hit?

Funny enough that out of all legend olny Mallyx is actually the olny one with cool theme. Just look at Shiro..he was supposed to be that maniac bad murderer but he keeps throwing some nice bro words to you with kitten voice. Shiro is without a doubt our best legend due to stunbreak and quickness on demand but his theme lack so much and i dont understand why they made it green either when his clothes are red/orange.

Even Jalis dialogues has more balls than Shiro. Meanwhile we have berserker shouting “ill destroy you all” and i feel like they took our real Shiro dialogues.

cursE.1794:

you need to post it in the “pvp” subforum.

In pvp subforum where people complains about anything, even rapid fire to this day? Okay. I wonder what about your ele and reaper (most broken thing 1v1) then.

Stopped reading after dmg nerf to auto. And now i see a quote about removing my double stab on dodge which is probably our best stuff here. If anything that cheap crystal hibernation on 25% should go away with current cd.

If we get any elite spec which channel someone from gw2 i will just pretent that we dindt received elite spec.

Also lol at condi gs. Gs is needed as our 2h aoe melee dps power weapon (and yes i wish to see Artorias moveset on it, espesially that triple somersaults so im biased).
Longbow would be great for condi weapon. I wonder if we ever get hands on rifle tho..

Btw, if one could post animation bugs from races it could be useful info as well. I olny play charr and theres olny one odd thing – sword 2 doesnt do spin move while moving. Is there any other stuff similiar to that one?
