Very doable when swapping from Glint to Shiro: you use your facets, get 2 stacks per each from NM (plus 1 from herald trait + sigil procs + UA might stacking + F2) and get your energy back.

Personally, I'd rather just get my instant 25 might, use my 50 energy to blow somebody up, and move on to the next +1.You just don't understand how revenant works.Equilibrium was our only way to make unfavorable matchups somewhat bearable, like the Thief one. Now we have nothing. It was very good with Glint, which is an almost free legend, how do you even blow your energy on this legend for burst? You don't, except for Equ.But what I can't understand is why did they have to remove it? Why not remove Rapid Flow, something nobody uses, ever? I get the synergy of when a thief steal bombs you want to have your swap stun break blow them up too--it's a lot how reapers try to fight them and is definitely strongish in a dueling situation... But I find in conquest it's usually better to do most of your hard offensive pressure vs thiefs in Glint (sotm, ps, ua), pop Gaze to block their stealth, and then be able to swap to shiro to PT chase down their retreat. If you immediately swap to shiro and try to burst them down, you won't have reveal or enough energy for PT, so there's no way to stop them from just disengaging and reopening on you a few seconds later. To each their own tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword 4 is now lacking a block. The actual skill is a nice buffed version of the old chain skill, but it still has the same stupid problem that it's too slow.Sword 5 has a range of 600. It is literally thief's Cloak and Dagger -> steal -> backstab combo, except the range is half, the first hit tickles, and the second hit doesn't hurt as bad as backstab and is too slow to ever hit.

Sword 4 is nice, but It's not instant, not point blank, can't be used while stunned, etc.Equilibrium was a versatile source of damage that easily separated good and bad revs. It could be used on both weapons even while using other skills or evading, damaging everyone around the rev.

Nobody said rev can't do burst at all, it's about how that burst is delivered and cutting equilibrium means we are no longer able to burst certain specs or in certain situations, which cuts down out options and viability.Zerker deadeye has the best burst in the game yet it's completely unviable in anything but elohell, "maximum burst potential" is not really an arguement that matters in PvP.
