Way less then sword AA + the 2 seconds of quickness you lose fot those 10 energy. Currently no rev skill does more dps then that. How many can you lend in 2 seconds? 3 full AA rotations factoring quickness. I’m sure it’s above anything axe can do.
And you’re clearly underestimating how much the extra might, armor and healing from shield does in a whole fight. Even the +65 armor alone is enough considering that not using OH skills at all saves a lot of energy
Under the assumption that all attacks hit, fighting a single target with dagger/(warhorn/focus) will generate 5.13% LF/s. Fighting three targets will generate 6.13% LF/s.
In the same conditions, fighting a single target with greatsword will generate 2.8% LF/s. Fighting three targets will generate 8.4% LF/s.
Thanks for the math. What about 5 targets for both? (With dagger lf not inceeasing)
Of course, it’s punishing if you don’t swap or if you spend all your energy before you can swap again (has cd).
And simply don’t use jade winds on 50 energy, lol. THAT, sir, is mismanaging, and you should be punished with wait time.
On the opposite side, if you stay on glint for 10 seconds and then swap to shiro, you can end up having many seconds of fury, might, wuickness and jade daggers. Way better then simply fury + might. That, sir, is called reward
Rev support is boon, so a redundant type that has a lot of competition. Druid just needs to have something like warbanners or like ranger spirits. Something that stacks on top of boons.
Also wth, reaper has so many debuffs and is very hard to kill. I’ll be always sure to have one in my group
Basically stop camping one legend and join the infinite energy club.
Energy cost on weapon is there to punish you if you mismanage your energy, and also an anty camping mechanic.
They want you to feel the power of invoking the legend.
If you camp glint then you won’t be doing much damage. Glint is for support and boon stacking. Once you have some fury and might you should swap to shiro and use impossible odds to do damage. Quickness + daggers + fury + might > fury + might.
Even Jalis does more damage then Glint if you have the buffs already.
UA is beyond OP, how can u call it weak? It even follows when target is going onto a ledge. The burst is beyond amazing right now. I feel Revenants are fine now damage-wise.
It’s far from being op because it also has energy cost, so no jade winds or 2 less seconds of impossible odds. It’s just good.
Also you lose dps if a rabbit is close. It’s basically useless in aoe except for might stacking.
In any group any mob has 25 stacks of vuln and heralds stack minutes of fury, so you end up having 70% crit rate even with 0 precision in a group. In reaper shroud way over 100%. Precision is useless on reaper.
Any calc and test on golems is done only with reaper’a vulnerability, so it doesn’t matter. In a group everyone stacks vuln
It has pierce too, so explosion+ burning + burning explosion on crit. Even with 5 target limit this is huge (can still hit 25 times). And none of the skills you listed hits so many targets and has 5s cd.
lighter, regardless of the starting hp, enemy or reflects, 5 sec cd skill with 6-7k damage unbuffed and no target limit is OP. Period.
They said primal bursts are weaker then normal bursts but have less cd and adrenaline required (see longbow), so this skill is a huge fail, since it’s 10x stronger then rifle normal burst.
normal rifle burst does way more damage with 6 sec CD and pierce 5 targets in that golem place, much damage, such wow, nerf normal rifle burst plox
The primal burst has pierce too and explodes on all 5 pierced targets, hitting unlimited enemies around the pierced ones, stacking 6k each (pvp gear, no buffs) and BURNING.
Considering that the explosion can also hit the previously pierced target, I’m sure the damage is higher even on single targets if the skill pierces.
Even with 5 target limit it can still hit 25 times
Document folder is always the same regardless of where you move gw2. Just rename the old documents/guild wars 2/screenshots folder to screenshots1 and a new empty one will be created as soon as you make a new screen
Then that confirms that Shields will never see use on Revenant if the skill stays as is, and also that break bar on players needs a ton of rework.
It’s still better then any offhand in pve. Both OH sword and axe would lower MH sword dps, just wasting energy, and both have far inferior defense/support capabilities.
Shield is not perfect but it’s still out best OH, and gives 65 armor for free. Also #4 is pretty decent and #5 gives som heal at least.
Still I believe #5 was supposed to be a “panic button”, but it’s not. The root and the very short breakbar force you to think very carefully about when to use that skill.
You can only use up to -10 upkeep, giving you a total of -5 (base regen is +5). You are already using facet of nature upkeep, that is -2, activating Impossible Odds would give you -12 (so -7 total), that is impossible (and would drain all your energy very fast).
have you clicked on the small arrow above Jalis or Shiro? It’s exactly like changing an utility skill, so it’s something that you get explained at level 10 by the UI helper.
If you tried then provide a screenshot of your legend list please.
Look at our screens. Facet of nature was not used or on cd.
Plus look at the pips icon. Judging from the boon bar and the pips it seems that facets are canceled way after legendswap.
Stunbreaks are not really a big issue since we have many (even on legendswap).
Big problems with Jalis are:
Vengeful Hammers: bugged. Can’t be used on bridges, close to walls or if ground is not perfectly horizontal. Sometimes they disappear when you use the skill while on a road that is just a little bit below the margins (like a soft U shape). Can’t be used in almost every boss strategy (not even Spider in AC, because of the statue in the middle and the stairs). Same can be said about Sword#3 and sometimes even Hammer #3 (mainly when target is below you).
Forced Engagement: huge energy cost on something that can be easily avoided and has an effect that is nice but not worth the cost. Also: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Taunt-bugs-in-pve
Edit: can also be reflected, right? With the easy access on magnetic aura it’s not good.
Inspiring Reinforcement: was the best Jalis skill, now it’s meh.
Rite got a nice buff, however I don’t see it as impactful as the other elites. May be better if Salvation is traited, but you have to give up a whole spec to make it worth.
Healing is solid. Currently the only reason to pick Jalis at all, wich is a waste.
Still better then Mallyx. I mean, Mallyx is good overall, but it’s the only legend that you can’t swap in fast and just use with whatever build. It requires Corruption spec to get resistance on every skill (otherwise you basically consume all your energy spamming pain absorbtion and then exploding).
Don’t run everything all at once and you will be fine.
or run everything and then swap. you don’t even get cd on the swap back and you will amass a lot of boons with 10 seconds of full facets.
it’s like a flow. Just manage according to the situations.
A little clarification: I don’t really use this strategy often. It may happen however that you need both damage and protection+regen, so you may end up using 10 upkeep points. Regardless, it’s not a big deal. You have 10 seconds of full facets (almost) then when you swap legend you still have 50 energy and a lot of boons. This is actuallt viable since sword and hammer have great AA.
I actually disagree, my way around this is OOC, run nature/fury/swiftness.
This will stack up a ton of fury and swiftness (talking 1m+ if you not fighting for awhile), and then when you enter combat you can just use the actives of fury/swiftness and use the might stacking and still gain energy for weapon skills(or even run regen if you want) … then just use fury/swiftness if for some reason you get low
Using fury facet onlyy ooc means you probably won’t have fury when you swap to the other legend (not really a great idea to stay on glint) unless you doubletap nature.
I prefer to stay in regen + swiftness ooc and then start with dragonbreath and fury+might in combat, with healing ready when needed and no energy debuff, then I swap to Shiro 5-6 seconds later to get another 6 seconds of fury and eventually doubletap nature. This way I can easily have daggers + quickness + fury + 20 might all by myself. Bursting all the way.
Once Shiro’s energy is over I swap back to Glint and everything is (almost) recharged.
Of course, activate facets second effect before swapping.
Nope, when i was travelling between locations I could easily end up with 1minute+ of fury built up. This is really noticable in WvW where you often roam a long time looking for fights.
This way you got a lot of in fight time where you can avoid using it, and just bring it back up when needed
It really requires A LOT of time to stack up all that fury. Many times you start the fight unbuffed in real situations (fractals, pvp), or you can go down and rally with no buffs and so on. You still need a correct energy management strategy, you can’t always be in a dream scenario where you’ve stacked 1 hour of fury.
The whole train of thought of the skill being super strong yadayada comes mostly because they probably made it thinking about PvE raid content
Nah, VB mobs can hard and soft cc too. It only takes 1-2 hits to break and you can’t cancel even if you see the skill incoming. Only weaponswap and then dodge, meh. At this point you could allow the skill to be canceled with dodge, like Charrzooka #5 (Claw of Jormag ambient weapon), since it’s already exploitable.
Also the skill prevents point capture liek an invulnerability, while it’s WAY inferior to an invuln. Only the healing is nice about that, I hope it doesn’t get nerfed.
lighter, regardless of the starting hp, enemy or reflects, 5 sec cd skill with 6-7k damage unbuffed and no target limit is OP. Period.
They said primal bursts are weaker then normal bursts but have less cd and adrenaline required (see longbow), so this skill is a huge fail, since it’s 10x stronger then rifle normal burst.
You can use skills instantly after leg swap before skills load on bar.
Except impossible odds. I’ve found it won’t activate till a couple seconds after swap even though i’ve got the 50% energy
Same here. It occurs when I have many facets active and then I cancel them with swap, or if I use facet of nature second effect right before swapping. Screen:
Sure, if the ground is perfectly plane and has no holes or rocks. Otherwise they just disappear.
As I said, they fall of bridges if it is narrow (like 99% of the bridges in VB)
Legendswap on Herald is not a must anymore. It’s just there if you want to do more dps (Shiro) or more condi control (Mallyx), etc. Herald boons linger for a lot of time even after legendswap, so it’s just an advantage if you want to do it, but Energy is not really a big issue anymore.
Of course, if you’re staying in Herald full time you’re either a supporter or you’re doing subpar dps. Herald < Herald+Shiro.
Not sure if you have tried yet and just can’t. But as soon as I hit f1 I am able to hit any of my utilities and they work. The animation may be there but the swap is instant.
Except impossible odds if you had any active facets before swapping (of course, not counting Nature).
I don’t think that the breakbar is the issue. Even a full invuln with the position lock is not a great idea. We should just be able to move and dodge (even cancel).
