Wait, how is (or was, rather) revenant hard to master? Don’t you just cycle between shiro (quickness) and glint (boons) spamming sword auto? I don’t play revenant, and haven’t looked at any guides or anything, but I tried it out in pvp lobby pre-nerf, and it seemed like ultra easy high dps.

Ventari, on the other hand, was harder to use, but no one uses that.

When killing certain bosses you play like that , in pvp you’re more likely to be destroyed by just auto attacking…. you actually need to use every skill Glint/Shiro has, but ofc you’’ll end up with no energy having to auto attack.

I main a revenantm so not very happy about the patch… thx for destroying my facet of light and my AA…. -20% second hit is insane nerf… c’mon reverse this kitten .

All i find in the arena are thieves and freacking necros, i’ts impossible to fight them.

Revenants are crap for raids and pvp, move on , play necro and thief.

Yes thanks Anet i quit today.

Yesterday i’ve tried condi rev power rev , and everything, i kept being overwhelmed by thieves necros and warriors bcuz thats the only thing you see in the arena.

I loved my revenant from the begining until yesterday, now i hate it bcuz it just impossible to win. out of 20 matches i’ve won 2, before was 55% win lose rate.

Now i can play diablo3 new season.

Every time there’s a patch that nerfs anything there’s going to be someone that leaves the game. Good PvPers will adapt to the changes, because that’s what good PvPers do.

What you’re essentially saying is you can’t win battles with auto attack anymore. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the way PvP was meant to be played in the first place.

You cleary didn’t tested the new rev, the AA nerf had didn’t affect much in pvp, but the facet of light can’t be cast while c/c’ed, UA doing less dmg overall while was used to evade it is not as effective as before. Precision strike doesn’t hit the same target, so it was not a “buff” still the same crap, took away quickness effect while taking out downed people while thieves just hide while doing it (not fair) , shield 5 healing was nerfed, the teait that granted stab after dodge was given a 5 second ICD, when really it was the GM trait in Herald that gave an extra stack of stab when you got stab that needed the ICD.

Yea good pvp’ers adapt —> moving to necro’s and thieves lol

Tried whole night diferent build from power to condi, nothing is useful , RIP rev at pvp, survivability was already a crap now its impossible…

After tonight i quit pvp entirely and it was the best thing gw2 had.

This Patch looked like it needed to be rushed.

This AA nerfs are way to harsh

They told us they would add survivability but instead took away a lot of it and added nerfed dmg WTF is up Oo

I’m so frustated about leveling my rev ……..

awww seriously they did that to my revy >.>

this sucks!

Does anyone else agree that spending as much resources they do on an aspect of the game the clearly are failing at is a waste? The money could be spent in other places, sad to say because I joined this game for pvp but they are really blowing it. Pro players manipulating matches, tt is hardly watched by anyone, they refuse to do anything about purposeful trolling. I am sorry but this is not Esports not even close.

200k usd is not that much for a company and you need to look long term benefits it will bring to the game.

I have played Hearthstone, HotS and LoL and i think Gw2 pvp could be there too, you just need a good marketing, the game is already good enought to get there.

just an idea, i think they could add like a twitch stream with a prize in $$ for killing a raid boss like Kerafyrm the Sleeper from EverQuest, not just pvp but also a massive pve event.

PvPvE Reminds me of dredgion from Aion… fun times hehe

Arm glow is fine.

If your dye doesn`t fit the glow, change the dye…

PS: You can never go wrong with black

rev is not going to be bad at the point you are going to get kicked, just level it already >.>

Revenant needs a ranged weapon… hammer is so bugged in pvp it’s not even funny, skill#2 only landing on even terrain, skill#3 almost same problem, if you are above or below someone sometimes it doesnt land.

The bow idea is great, because since rev is a “spirit summoner” kinda thing, he could shot spirit arrows looking like blue flaming arrows or w/e Spirit legend is on, being condition damage orientated.

Bolt! You can never go wrong with Bolt.

If you have unlocked Herald the collection it`s unlocked.

For the mats needed for the collection i used wiki to find where to farm.

Took 20 mins tops farming specific mobs on my rev.

I believe if you have the collection unlocked you can get those drops with either character you are on.

raubvogel.5071:

at least the aa chain was unique.

ua fails indeed a lot. I would say 20%. Also your char won’t attack with aa due to standing in the wrong way.

maybe removing the vuln from the aa would do the job. the vuln could been transfered to other skills.

Yes moving vuln to skill#2 would be better.

This nerf is a big let down i even started to look into other classes, maybe necro, but don’t want to level it to 80 either >.> maybe stop playing lost interest, thx Anet

AA nerf wasn’t needed and -20% dmg second hit it’s just overwhelming ….

yea that mask is so pretty, been wating on it too and phalanx armor <.<

Burtnik.5218:

Guys.. please. Wait for the review before you start complaining. I will be first to yell at Roy if the changes sux balls but we dont know their plans for rev now. We dont know if they reduce energy cost on wep skills, rework sword 2 to be a burst move or whatever.

It may not be as abd as it sounds. For now i only hope that they rework Shiro healing cus its really terrible. Gonna bumb my thread about it and zzz time.

If history has taught us anything, Anet does not know how to balance anything ‘slightly’. They will either tweak something so it makes no difference, or they will sledge hammer it into oblivion, rendering the skill completely unusable.

Reading between the lines, the Thief will be the new WvW/Spvp FoTSeason class. Increasing their damage and not touching the stealth mechanics so squishes get one shot from stealth..Fun times… My only concern is the fact we will have to live with any crap changes for 4-6 months at least.

Agree, they should take notes from ppl who really plays rev and against them above lvl35 pvp atleast, so they know what they are talking about.

Hit lvl80

- Go to wiki find yourself a legendary weapon and craft

Only by doing this you are forced to run fractals, pvp many jumping puzzles farm materials, need to do living story and HoT content to unlock masteries just to craft a legendary.

step two you find out yourself >.>

Wow ppl still talking about this skill being OP?

It’s the only skill making hammer usable in pvp…. and it’s not even good

btw it’s impossible to hit 10k crit with it using any kind of setup, im running zerker and can only hit 3-5k dmg, never done more than that. Stop this bullkitten already.

Look what ppl have done, saying rev auto attack was powerfull and now they are going to nerf it over nothing Oo

I’ve bought one slot(700gems) and i find this too overpriced, if this have been 1800 gems for 20 slots (a bag) i would have bought it.

I don’t like the Karl’s preview of balance >.>

I’m so anxious about this balance thing it’s almost unbearable, after they announced they are taking a “look” at the auto attacking skill from Rev i can’t even sleep anymore.

Nerfing sword AA is a big mistake, because you’re left with:

-Precision strike is slow attack with hight cooldown. <- AA is faster which i doubt they’ll boost the dmg of this skill so much it’’ll out dps AA in it’s current state.

-Unrelenting assault dmg is pretty balanced, the only problem of this skill it should focus on main targed, and this skill consumes too much energy.

-Duelist preparation it’s almost useless in pvp and a defensive skill so you can’t put dmg in it.

- Grasping shadows this skill is so bugged most of the times you just use it while not pulling anything with you, you need to fix it first. Also cooldown too long to compete with AA.

In my point of view they should rework skill2 “precision strike” and replace with a new skill, or reduce the cooldown to almost nonexistant while greatly increasing the dmg of the skill.

Revenant AA is so important right now because every skill consumes so much energy most of the times i find myself just auto attaking my opponent empty on energy.

Make Unrelenting assault focus target and buff healing from all legends, buff damage from dwarf and demon skills.

yeah agree with OP….at fist i didn`t like the idea but adding gliding do core tyria will have in inpact on jumping puzzles making them immune to dmg.

Instead give dam mounts to travel faster

Jumping puzzles are well implemented in this game, you can do almost everything in this game by skipping them and they are pretty easy to do aswell. Think of them as a training for pvp as you need to practice your reflections and reactions.

very nice staff indeed , but im working on astralaria, this weapon is amazing <3

<3 Glint!

don’t touch her, leave her alone >.>

condi bow… either short bow or long bow, doesn`t matter, but bow would be nice

Waiting on Phalanx armor, when does this come up?

TuyenPham.7064:

I’m desperately waiting for phalanx set to come back to the store too

same here =/

The second one, tought you should work your dyes there, its too much black.

Sthenith.5196:

Played ESO in beta, and immediately uninstalled thinking : “players are going to expect ‘Skyrim Online’, and it absolutely won’t be that.” It turned out i was right. They expected something different and ESO went from sub to F2P in an instant. They knew they would have a dead game if they didn’t do that.

Yeah i was expecting skyrim and left the game in about a hour lol

I like the circle and the effects as it is.

Don’t like it? play another class.

i find strenght runes the best choice with zerker build

wow that ad doesn’t bother me at all

Why make such a big deal…

I’ve only watched the match yesterday because of it

I think the grind it’s pretty fine as it is…

IMO it should be even harder to get stuff

Humm i like the idea of it…but as an e-sports fan, played a lot of HotS, play a lot of hearthstone. But for mmos…i don’t know, it’s a little bit more complex than FPS and MOBAs.

The new pvp maps introduced in heart of thorns brings the feeling of competition and its fun!

A Valkyrie helmet like this, but leaving a bit of the hair if the hairstyle is long beneath it

For PvE rage runes are the best option if you won’t buy strenght runes.

Why nerf the only skill that makes wielding a hammer worth…kitten

Hahaha wow nicely done!

Im looking for this skin also, hope it comes back soon

Started Palying this game last week and im having a blast playing this game until lvl60 (im currently at).
Played L2, WoW and Aion a lot and this game made me have that feeling its gonna be the game im gonna spend a good chunck of my life into it, and im having high expetation about the lvl80+ content, can`t wait.

I’ll give this game a 9/10!

And Phalanx set also >.>
