....oh and don't even get me started on trying to figure out how to get the long string of mats for ascended gear without the wiki or a youtube video. You'd think you'd be able to lookup the armour in the crafting menu, see what it needs, and chain off from there and at least figure most of it out in-game

I think there's a gap in the usability of in-game information that makes it almost a necessity to use the wiki I'm ashamed to admit but as someone who comes back to the game after long stretches, I often need to wiki even the dailies because I can't find on the map where anything is and you can't even just click on something in the achievement menu and get further information. You know how long it took me to figure out there was two different maguuma areas for the dailies? I just looked for it on the map and was wondering why the daily counter wasn't ticking up. Not sure why there's such a lack of further information in those menus and things like being able to search the map or to have a few dropdowns so you can search by the word not just visually That's just one small example but I've even struggled trying to explain to mates how to do things in game like progress their crafting, or get to expansion zones and it's always "mate just read the wiki" which turns a lot of people off.

Hear, hear!!

Are Revs meta for +1 now?What builds in particular? I'd like to give em a go

Pretty much this as well, it seems pointless for PVE, it's useful for PVP and the shorter attunement swaps can feel great

It can fit pretty well into the flow of certain rotations.For example LR D/F Weaver - the damage reduction from earth is awesome and generally if you start from Comet and work your way through a normal damage rotation for a quick kill it will generally pop up after Gale gets stun broken to secure the kill and it being AOE is pretty cool. The buffs and the way it's made is ridiculous, I'd like to see it reworked but I definitely take it over Tornado for most maps unless it's like Revenge of the Capricorn's bell capture. But yeah once you get the flow of weaver it can fit nicely but it's definitely clunky for when you need to actually sit in certain attunes and wait longer for the swap

People who choose not to pair pistol with sword make me uncomfortable... there's just something wrong with them. What's the reasoning behind it? I was thinking that Sword/Torch was the defensive set and Axe Pistol Offensive, do you guys mix them up to spread out the damage and defense through the rotations?

Give D/F LightningRod Weaver a go in pvp mate

Concur on this one, nothing worse than having Staff/Scepter near useless and being given a 3rd melee spec while still being this squishy after 8+ years. If they want us to be a bruiser than surely they've had an idea of how to do that by now on the existing specs and can add a bit more ele/mage/wizard style on the new one.

I know you've been playing a Thief for a while but have you been on Condi core Thief and not Daredevil D/P?
