No need to theorycraft with mallyx in pvp. Too energy consuming for what it does. Shiro still better.

EtD turned on, enemy LB healing thanks to your EtD. Yaaaay.

I want gs for pictures. Doesnt matter which e-spec we get. It will be sw/sw + staff til end of this game(power perspective)

Still dont get the RevHate.I would say rev is one of the best classes you wanna play against. Shadow steps have casttimes and can be interupted(except Sw5 but dmg deals the second hit you can avoid easy). Almost every spell have casttime. No instafest like guard, mesmer, thief. and Sw4 with 25might deals lower dps then Gravedigger with same casttime :) but with gravedigger you can hit 5 targets and everybody get same hit, Sw4 = more targets lower dps. No need to nerf.

Sword offhand and power meta are the only things keeping this class alive. Wanna see how do you wanna focus one target in teamfight with sw2 and sw3 :-). And our only instant teleport on sw5. Low energy cost too. Why invest to other offhands if you give 20 energy for beign killed by warrior with 12 sec of unblockable(hello shield 5). Sure nerf it but I dont bellieve there will be any buff elsewhere to compensate.

I have a same feeling, Shiro gets hit and he is gonna fall to the jalis/mallyx lvl. It is esier kill one legend then properly buff 2 others. And you can see at other proffesions that this is classic "balance" strategy. They dont use Shield in herald? well lets kill other OH weapons and they maybe start using it.

Variety is thing we miss. Last nerf cripled almost every glint+shiro build. To deal dmg you need 25 might stacks. So old meta burst build is now way to go. So nerf kinda useless. I agree that without offhand sword and 25 mightstacks there isnt place for pRev. Sw2 and sw3 are unreliable. Sw4 and sw5 you can focus on 1 target.Anyway it is anets decision. If they design something that works with 25 might and then they start to nerf mightgeneration. It doesnt make sense. Sw4 have same casttime as gravedigger but 3/4 of its dmg(that is worst if you hit more then 1 target). So still dont get saltiness about it.

If it will be usefull like shiled or SB. I dont care then :D

...But let me say this: that nerfst won't move me away from Shiro/Glint power Herald, and neither from the same traits they nerfed. Power Herald just WORKS, despite year after year is more dumb to play, more streamlined, stick hitting autoattack, less engaging and fun. Still, light years above core Rev, which lacks any personality, and Renegade, the worst specialization in the game, utterly useless in PvP/WvW. So keep trying ANet, you still have a lot to nerf in Herald before making me to even think about playing other builds seriously! Power Herald forever! This. It just work.

Power Herald (Devastation,Retribution,Herald) Sw/Sw(shield) + Staffhttp://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAscmnvN2gS6JvQRVlbosryPUYW5IKYs8EllNFSNG34H2/rgPsNAH4BA-jJxHABiv/AAHCAlPCAXXGAA You lost: Fury on weapon swap1condicleanse or dps increasebreakstun on legend swapmight generation via Spirit Boon or IR(RIP)dps increase via traits40% furyBut you get:+25% endurance regen.stability on evade/+dmg reduction if you have stabRetaliation at the end of the dodgeroll 10% dmg reduction, and healing if upkeeps are up.-Its worst then Metabuild because you lost lot of dmg and you get tiny bit of sustain, but you have some illusion of "dueler,brawler, sustainable" build.-Shared Empowerment gives you little might so you can do some dmg.-This is if you run alone or you do PvP. If you have some boonbots in WvW with you, you can drop Shared Empowerment for Hardening Persistance(Herald) and Retaliatory --Evasion for Dwarven Battle Training (Retribution).-Shield gives you moar sustain but against Metaclasses(lot of unblockable) it is worst choice(Sw4 top). Traits I saw on stream some time ago, but I forgot name of the guy. I like it is less bursty but still can dish out something, and it gives you "kinda" healup potencional even with Marauder Amulet.

Shiro/Glint Meta build is so heavy used because every variant with sustain or anything else falls far behind.No trade off. Dmg nerf Im ok with but no buff elswhere.Rev doesnt have big dmg, Rev can only dishout everything fast. I would be rather like warrior, no burst but hitting 8k on movement skills etc. My issue is. If I build up for beign tankier, I cannot kill anyone and still I can pretty ez Die, warriors, holos,SBests,: have higher sustain, higher burstdmg, and higher avarage dmg. Same with healing, I cannot healup endlessly(thank god, it will be joyless pvp)Only thing that worked was doing burst dmg in 2v1 situations. I believe most of rev pvp population is bored to play this meta build (shiro-Glint) but no other builds are that effective as this one.

Just take away some dmg and it will be useless.

Mobility is probably the most important thing to have in the current state of this game (spvp/wvw roaming)... Shiro represents basically all of a revenant's real/usable/reliable mobility (aside from death strike and wasting sotm on gap closing/escape)...Shiro will always be meta unless mobility suddenly stops mattering or other legends come with greater mobility to replace it. Thisi would love to play jalis in pvp/wvw roamin. But you need to invest heavily in to toughness and stack defences in traits because I became very static. Another thing is some skills in jalis(for example) are heavy coast/CD but actualy aren't that strong. Heal is great, taunt is kinda okeyish, jalis road is cost heavy for what it does, ult is really outdated. Hammers are ok.And the cast times, who in the hell have casttimes these days outside of rev and necro..?Third thing is. Thanks to stacked traits,runes,armor for surviving avarage stuff out there, you dont do any dmg. Only if you get 25might than maybe. But still nothing special.Revenant just isn't created for warrior style like combat. Thats why shiro is best. Dont need defences thanks to evades and blinks. And every spell cost is worth it. Whole kit is usable. And you can do dmg. Not tickle while be static. Lot of classes are static but they made out for it, invis, blocks, usable ranged attacks.But that is nothing for rev with what we have right now. Sure some rev gods can make those builds work against us noobs or avarages Joes. But for us mortals is shiro still the only way(for power revs).

Good to hear it is good somewhere.

where are orbs spawned is total RNG so -> useless. IF you accidentaly pick it up its ok but overall..its RNG. If you could place them then it is OK.

It is simpliest class. You got 5 Wells that you can destroy and they can attack only on 1 target at time. BUT you get Protection if traited. Glint is still better in design Stunbreak,blind, reveal+Fury Lot of spells do lot of things. But summons :/

I want your backpiece <3

I think Chrono Will be a still thing. And mesmers utilities Are still powerfull. Besides Chrono, ONLY rev can give alacrity. Im lookibg forward to some hybrid builds. We Will see. But statemant that Mesmer Is dead Is kinda...you know. True mains Will find a way.

That's how it arrived here. wuf. Common sense, hold on.

JUST let IT be mainhand or 2hand weapon.

If any go with "greataxe"We gotMace->HammerSword->greatswordaxe-> :-(

if staff gets reworked i think necro will drop in WvW . Better keep it like this because WvW is only mode where we can profit.

But you point is it does a hell of a lot more for something with a very short cast Exactly. I know bozh spells are different, So nobody can say"this Is better then this". But like you wrote. IT does more if you hit. I like that. Now im glad if i hit And dont get blocked,evaded. So i Will like that.

Elites are good, core shroud rework, some traitlines that give"nothing (fear)" i would like to see something different, fix glitch(shroud aa sometime dont shoot, RS2, grasping darkness es,), some utility skills are JUST too weak compare to other classes(Plague signet vs Arcane Thievery: dont start Flaming pls, i know stunbreak bit AT Is more beneficial after succ. Hit And unblockable)And somehow buf shroud(both) fór wvw And pvp stuff, drain Is pain. Overall. I rly like the class And understand why necro dont have this And that. But for easier living i like to see that What i write upper(glitches First plspls)

IT Will be the same like fractals. Ppl not learning mechanics because they can Survive this And that. If EZ mode only without rewards And achievements. What i wanna see Is CM raids(with instabilities or something) with no rewards but scoreboard +1
