As mentioned above
Weapon:
SB 2 for some reason misses for no particular reason (even on flat ground).
SB 3 is really niche to do it’s full potential
SB 4 and 5 are decent
Healing :
seriously, once again. Reve heal is truly a joke. So you give warrior an 11k heal and 2 xpacs later you still can’t give reve a decent heal that does at least 5k minimum? We already lack cleanse unless we go for mallyx/ventari, at least give us a proper heal
Utility:
Most are pointless, especially in wvw combat situation. No enemy is stupid enough to stand in your 360 radius. Even your own ally wouldn’t stand in the buffs most of the time. Increase the radius for god sake.
I was so looking forward to this and even crafted a chuka for this, but seriously compared to other specs like holosmith,mirage and weaver, renegade really felt like getting the super short end of the stick.
use the LFG for dragon stand meta, join a taxi squad and right click into their instance. It’s actually the easiest to complete out of the 4. certain parts are lock out till you complete the entire event.
You’re making my switch from necro to rev really worth it. It’s a shame rev has no ranged weapon. I hear renegade isn’t so good.
if mallyx = melee condi, renegade is the range condi. Every class has their own melee/range/power/condi weapons. Regarding suck or not, let’s just judge it once we try it. Renegade is more of a supportive/backline to begin with.
I don’t mind clicking 79 tomes, it’s actually fun to see people’s reaction when I power level infront of them. What triggers me is the level up rewards that you have to clear 1 after another for 79 times.
Critical Hits are calculated per tick, and will use your Precision and Ferocity values.
This has two big upsides: For one, it puts the balancing game in the hands of scaling numbers alone, making it easy to balance DoT vs DD on each specific class.
Second, as they now both scale the same way, and the only big difference is DPS vs DPCT focus (and ofc cleansing vs toughness), classes can be designed to inherently work “more with DoTs” or “more with DDs”. As a function of class theme.
Wouldn’t that just make hybrid skills stronger than pure condition ones.
Ok if we kill another dragon the magic gets released and rip tyria. But balth will absorb said magic so why is it bad?
the thing is Balthazar has no intention to save anyone. He is just a typical power crazed villain who seeks power for his own vengence. Just look at the demo clip, his “forge” are killing innocents. Our lives mean nothing to him.
And currently, jalis and shire are your best option for a secondary legend on a condi build. Glint only has one condition skill which isn’t a huge dps gain, and funnily enough, it also happens to be the one skill which makes you lose swiftness spam when you activate it.
???
So you are implying shiro/jalis have condition skill for condition build? And Herald’s swiftness + boon duration last long enough to easily stack swiftness even when you cast elemental breath. You totally make 0 sense in your own “solutions”. And like I said your “solutions” are pretty much what most players including myself already aware of, but it’s still lacking. That’s why we voice it out.
EDIT: it seems that your “jalis/mallyx” is a thing, IF you are building for Pve, which I am not focusing on. But simply do a google search and you can tell herald is still the top pick for most builds.
Then you’re not complaining about the lack of mobility, you’re complaining about your own lack of actual skill in not putting yourself in combat with easily targetted skills.
You still fail to see my point. I won’t pick shiro/jalis nor use a staff as a condi build. Without herald or those mentioned above the only possible “movement” that you suggested is simply spam unyielding anguish, you are happy with that? Welp I am not.. Meanwhile all I was saying is there is lack of swiftness boon without herald, unless you waste an entire traitline for it. If you are the kind of guy who assume others are bad just because they disagree with you, good luck to you and your ego.
Doesnt really matter now, mounts fix any class that wants / needs swiftness. I dont really have to think about speed so kalla become viable and better yet i don’t have to play a kittened boon bot. At first a was really against kalla but im realizing that they just want revanant to be a condi option for heavies. Maybe that’ll change with balance changes coming in tomorrow but I highly doubt much will change.
I am not counting pve/moving around. What I mean is during actual combat. The lack of boons the moment we remove herald makes the class’s value drop by a huge margin.
Literaly every time someone complains about the lack of mobility on revenant it proves how much they don’t know how to play the class.
Like seriously it’s sad.
AHEM
-Axe 4 targetted teleport. Puts you in combat. Not great.
-Phase traversal. 1200 blink. 5 sec cd. If you don’t hit your target it doesn’t put you in combat. Good.
-Inspiring reinforcment + blast finisher
——-Blast finishers: mace 3 (a triple one at that, often procs twice), staff 4, hammer 3 (not practical), hammer 5 (tricky, but useful if you wanna blast for allies behind you in wvw trains)
Basically every weapon but sword. Not very energy efficient, requires a bit of actual skill. Usually IR + mace 3 is the easiest to pull off. Because of this energy cost I’ll give you this is not useable in combat, but out of combat usually your CD take about exactly as long to recharge as your energy.
-Staff 5. Good, but short range.
-A single invocation trait = perma swiftness. You can combine this with any energy upkeep toggle, or just spam mace 2 off CD and you literaly have perma swiftness
-Unyielding anguish. Literaly my favorite revenant skill. Leap spam, no CD. Always keeps me in front of the group. Like why aren’t you people using this skill honestly.
Soooo yeah. I guess people won’t listen to me because if you don’t have a youtube channel where you only play one class nobody takes you seriously these days.
Thanks for pointing out what i already knew, in fact I even write there in my post. The dependency on getting slight movement at the cost of getting into combat is bad. Just bad. I am talking from the standpoint of a condi build which Renegade seems to be.
Ignoring the lack of mobility of revenant, the issue I have with base rev is the lack of swiftness. the 33% ms thing is pretty much a norm right now but if we remove Herald from build, the only way we can get swiftness is either Dwarf stance or trait Invoc. Unless Renegade has a swiftness utility/trait I find it really hard to move away from Herald especially on a condition mallyx/renegade
in term of HoT’s villians, it’s sylvari. so PoF should be humans since the 6 gods are what humans worship, the rest of the race don’t really care do they?
Then dont play rev? There are people who enjoy the way mallyx is designed and don’t like necro. Similarly to other stances. It’s like you are saying what’s the point of ele and engi when necro/ranger exist, just because they are jack of all trade classes as well.
I would rather run a Condi Rev than a Power Rev after the first round of nerfs we got. Mace/Axe has been a lot of fun with Glint/Malyx. I cannot wait to run it with the new spec.
I had always love condi. The moment they release Rev and showcase Mallyx I knew this is going to be awesome. Too bad they nerfed the ulti till it isn’t really worth using now. I was still hoping that it will spread alot more condis while we sponge it all up.
I for one am very disappointed. Revenant has never been about condi.
Revenant, for me has been all about being in Shiro, with swords, whacking things, dodging around the place.
I lol-ed. This is some major bias tread right here. Anet gave every if not most class a power/condi/heal path to go. It’s just a matter of how meta move things along. Revenant not about conditions? You drunk on your own love for shiro? How about clicking your F1 tab and change it to mallyx and use a mace/axe for once.
it’s definitely a more condi focus spec with most of the SB and renegade’s f2,3,4 applying condis. But we will have to test and see does it scale good with power as well.
They didn’t even reveal any actual game footage for firebrand. Stop whining before you even test it out yourself :/
In fact they have to nerf base guard/DH’s burn potential if they intend to make Firebrand the “burn guard”. It’s already ridiculous in it’s current HoT meta.
What they did for every class is give them another spec role different from what we get from HoT. So classes that get a defensive/supportive spec will get an offensive one this time round, vice versa. What’s wrong with getting tome spells for support? The tome elite was there since launch until it got remove, now they are bringing it back in a different manner which is great.
why call it stances, when you are aware that they are similar to signets?
I would rather they have a REAL “beastmaster” class (base on the leaks >..>) that is capable of actually using the pets as a main source of damage, even in WvW. Ranger has always been kitten due to the fact that our pet is a total joke, bad sustain, bad tracking.
wisp should do something to the enemies around the target as well. Kinda lame in it’s current stat since staff is pretty much a range weapon, how are you going to utilise the wisp heal properly
They should just change it to a soft cc that makes the victim have a certain amount of chance to get knockdown on actions, kinda like the drunk debuff.
But we got to bring back someone from the dead…. just to punch them in the face! Isn’t that the ultimate shade?
“Who disturbs my unending slumb—” BIFF
“Ow! That was my nose! WTF dude?!?! Wait… you?!?”
“Yeah, me. And this time I’m going to kill you for good.”
“Wait..what? I was already dead.”
“But now you’ll be deader!”
“Dude… that’s really messed up. You need hel—” POW
“Ow! My thorax!!!!”
there isn’t really a need for new individual classes, they pretty much lay down the core rpg/D&D classes warriors/archers/mage etc. They can easily just add more with specializations that we have to decide which you want to be, since pretty sure we can only be 1 of them at a time.
I wish the upcoming dagger warrior will be more of an agile class. The current warrior/zerker feels clunky as hell to play compared to other specializations. Only viable weapon is GS since what? beta? It’s not about any nerfs that make warrior worst each day, it’s the buffs that warrior didn’t really get to make him on par with others.
I’m saying that as a WvW veteran and as a Warrior main- The truth is that is no reason to bring more than 1~2 warriors per zerg, and these 2 warriors are there for 1 skill only- Warbanner . There is nothing else that makes bringing a warrior worthy over any other class.
Exactly. Why have a warrior when you can just get a rev/guard. Warriors are pretty dead in wvw meta
Too short imo. It’s like this entire episode 6 is just for Livia cameo and get rid of lazarus from the story for good. We didn’t really cleanse Orr now did we?
Wow, you think they deem these nicer. I know it is all subjective, but I am not impressed at all. There are a lot of other skins I would pay 2 tickets for before this one.
That’s the only possible reason no? And like you say it’s all subjective. They KNOW what the players want and like. It’s a matter of whether they want to give it to us easy or not. If players do not want the skin, this thread wouldn’t even exist
