LucianTheAngelic.7054 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Why even take Soldier's or Cleric's gear? You might as well just double down on being a support and take Minstrel's for the way increased boon duration and better healing. You're not doing any real damage as it is with the power from Soldier's. If the point is to be tanky you might as well double down into it instead of half-assing it. Either that or pick up a tanky condi set up instead that can actually inflict decent damage while still being tanky.

You run a pure mele build, with barely any ranged pressure. Weakness is a problem since the whole plan relies on being able to evade oftenly, as so is fighting ranged roamers (probably most of them, actually). The only Vindi I saw in WvW beating my (Willbender) kitten after long, long strifes did run greatswords + swords, and HAD damage. How do you kill foes with no crit chance and no ferocity in a strike build? I appreciate your effort but lack faith in it. All bunker roamers I found in WvW with succesful builds had damage in another way or other: either constant apply of pressure or burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can bunker for as long as possible until allies come and finish the person off or waste enemy time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telgum.6071 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Well, if you intend to waste your enemy's time, it certainly will work. Though why pick Revenant for that when you could go core guard support. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fivedawgs.4267 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Yeah, but it beat the purpose though. I thought Vindi was supposed to be our power specs? Anet failed horribly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBroChill.3254 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Yeah I used a build like this, i might have been using ventari instead of jalis and invocation instead of retribution but yeah the thing is a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iinvocation line will help the precision might and fury gains if needed. IMO Rev doesnt need boon durantion unless u really need that boon duration and vitality one also need to make damage, note that the more boons u have the eeasier is to kill with the right class targeting boon user. @hypehype.9047 that works for enemies that dont know how to interrup a leaping Vindicator (unless Anet already adressed the leap duration).

nosleepdemon.1368 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 You know you could go Celestial Renegade and be tough AND powerful. IMO pure bunker isn't great in WvW since no amount of defence will stop a zerg from rolling over you, and 1v1 eventually becomes 1vX. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on small scale only fully bunkers will fail to get the kill, condi bunkers to hight DPS roles will get it the only diference is the TTK. in potato colliding nobody wins lol....

Did you actually look at OP’s build or what they very clearly stated they want to accomplish? It’s literally half soldiers and half clerics which is not ideal for anything. OP wants to be “tanky” and “contribute,” but neither of those stat sets are going to accomplish that. Zealot’s is certainly not going to accomplish what OP has stated they want either. OP needs to decide if they want to do decent power damage with some slightly bulkier stats (soldiers/clerics ain’t it), be condi damage/tanky, or be tanky/support. Just building for “tanky” alone isn’t enough. It’s just a waste of space do nothing build tbh also hard disagree on boon duration. Minstrel’s is tankier than Cleric even with slightly less Healing Power and the added boon duration means the boon uptimes will be near perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent.9538 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Bunk vindi is actually going to see quite a bit of top tier play in tomorrow's mat because treesong lets it be the only sidenoder that doesn't get completely blown up by harbinger and it can still stalemate the other sidenodes. Its a very specific strength among many weaknesses but treesong almost single handedly makes vindi meta viable atm. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise there's hardly anyway to survive anything as Revenant with all the condi spam that was introduced in EoD. It actually can side node pretty well now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes: * Willbender (and aparently Untamed) are the new main providers of damage, delivering huge amounts of them while having sustain and very good mobility. * That removes Revenant from high end PvP. Herald is still our best +1 spec, but is not very meaningful at "large" teamfights. Renegade is good at dealing damage and surviving but too easy to by skills that null projectiles, which leaves you dealing no damage. Vindicator is easy to focus, for all the team utility it brings (not that much, seeing otherprofessions) the survability AND mobility are low. So that's is: want a mele fighter with pressence in PvP? Run a Willbender. By the way today Hizen also published a video actualizing his OW PvE builds, which puts Vindicator on shame. I would stop running it in PvE if I hadn't done it two weeks ago. Vindi is garbage guys, spred the word. Edited April 23, 2022 by Buran.3796 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But were was the "top tier gameplay" by bunk Vindi you talked off? Rank 55 didn't even run a Rev in the final... Naru was very specific talking about it: if you don't run WB + Untamed and your team dps just sinks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobaniec.9561 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Called it long ago while everyone else was busy calling wb a trash.
