Lonewolf Kai.3682 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 As the title suggest. The Revenant traitline just now got into the same boat as the Thief traitline. There went build diversity out the window. Congo rats to all that wanted this. Hope you're happy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justine.6351 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 People who were taking invocation were already taking invocation. This didn't change anything in that respect. BUT, people may choose something other than Roiling Mists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already was borderline stupid not to take it, but now, it's mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s not even viable in PvE group content or WvW/PvP in a Power Damage role, besides Hammer Zerg spam which even that saw a large nerf with these changes.

Now they might take that as a trade off for more energy and new combinations on swap. 25e is no small potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this affect WvW revs? Is it really that bad?A lot of Burst is gone on both Roaming and Zerg builds, but it has more consistency if played right, I’m ok with the trade off now that I have played it and got used to it, definitely a different mindset for playing but It hurts Zerg build the most for Rev but I don’t play that so I’m ok.Haven’t tested Pvp yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buran.3796 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Since October of the last year didn't play any power build outside Devastation + Invocation + Herald. In terms of build diversity the only choices were what off hand to use, whether or not to use hammer and which runes to use between durability, leathership or surging. But is true that now there's even fewer options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really that bad?Charged mist is actually pretty good in WvW, but builds will become dependent on it because of the extra 25 energy you get now.The nerds overall really hurt the Rev in WvW however. And, in my experience, the off hand sword block removal forces the Rev to stay back line only and never anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
