Nawazake.1963 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hello all, So coming back after a few years off i have been playing for around about 2 weeks and decided to main my rev. So far so good and i play fractacls etc with my condi build. With EoD soon to come out, i just wondered how viable will rev be in terms of raids/fractacls/wvw etc? It may sound silly, but i dont want to put my time into a class for it to be outshined or not be used in the 'meta'. Hope this makes sense Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JekthAvid.1408 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 If no new classes get alacrity alacrigade will still have a safe spot in the meta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virdo.1540 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 How viable rev will be?

One of the issues with Herald being the weaker rev build was in fact lost the 10 ally facets w/o any trade, in fact Herald elite upkeep was actually nerfed in the protection boon apliance as well.

Alacrity does no damage so its useless. If people knew what is possible to do with some rev stuff even reduce damage on structures from siege :) Edited September 21, 2021 by Aeolus.3615 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And alacrity makes rams & catapults shoot faster through lower cooldown, so it improves damage over time by a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And alacrity makes rams & catapults shoot faster through lower cooldown, so it improves damage over time by a lot Dont think so, 4% shot become 2% hits and 2% becomes 1%, and the repair suply drop on wall is more eficient since walls dont get damage as faster as getting normal damage. Theres 3 classes that can stack damage reducers, ive been in situation on QL wall to be damage from SMC treb needed 2 shots to make 1% damage(on the 100% wall health), treb from smc does arround 2-3% damage of the 100% strtuctural HP. I know about alacrity my group always used that even before was kewl (way before PoF) :) inntialy back in HoT days people woud laugh "look at this noob thinking boons work on siege" . Even on support classes that get the alacrity makes the mantras charges recharge faster, and the damage skills, it was ajust a funny comment towards what some wvw players tell me about alacrity. Vindicator and Renegade seams like they have very interesting possible variations, its Just Herald atm that feels a but to much weak compared to the other elite specs, Herald is just a self buffer with fury and m8 that players use to burst with assassin for example, Rev Herald needs its 10 facets back :( or somethign arround that.

Fueki.4753 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Unless Arenanet axes Renegade's access to Alacrity, Revenant will retain its safe place in the meta. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
