Swifteyes.6812 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 My main is a weaver. Obviously every class has a weakness and mine seems to be condi revs. I just can't kill them no matter what I do. The ones I encounter seem to take no damage and then if they do, they heal completely back up. There's no point in cleaning their condis. Every time you do, they just dump a ton more on you and you can't keep up with the cleansing. What can you do against tanky condi revs?Any tips would be appreciated.

Dawdler.8521 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 What you need to know is that you basicly have to burst them twice and you have to control it. When they start healing their "normal" heal ie regen on hit which almost everybody use to get a second wind, dont hit them. Pause for 4s or however long it lasts, check your own cds and then burst again. Just like with thief tp, you also want to pay attention to them doing the sword bounce because thats 99% likely to be followed up by a heavy hitter. If they run mace, then immobilization is often similar tell - be prepared to bunker down with blocks/cleanses cause you're about to get 20+ torment stacks.They are incredibly hard targets and one of if not the best condi build in the game when played by someone good.Another obvious tip is bring more people. No shame in that if you cant beat them - they know exactly what they run and what they are no matter how much they rage whisper you. If you can get them down to 50% hp and isnt unfortunate to have complete idiots with you, you've already won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniara Devious.3948 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Condi revenant is a broken build. I don't understand why Arenanet doesn't nerf at least some parts of the build.Let's face it: With most other builds you are NOT going to win 1 vs 1. So retreat and call in your friends.

Scoobaniec.9561 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I remember few months ago when ppl in my own servers were laughing at me for playing condi rev and how something like DH could beat me up easily (hello gunnar hold you brainlets).. Oh how the times have changed ???Unless you are capable of 100-0 them or poke-kite them for days you aint beating one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkidu.5937 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Demon + Glint means: Glint heal and resi -> invuln vs. condi damage, and they can heal to 100% when you place a condi bomb on them.But it also means: Lack of stunbreak / stab. So what you want to do is applying constant condi presure, and only put a condi bomb when you CC-chain them after they used their glint heal.@Scoobaniec.9561 said:I remember few months ago when ppl in my own servers were laughing at me for playing condi rev and how something like DH could beat me up easily (hello gunnar hold you brainlets)..

I for my part run a DH-Condi Glacial Heart Hammer + Sword Torch, and I have lots of fun vs. those Revs :p (unless they are good players ofc^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unfortunetly many of your allies are pretty adept at the first part and conditioned to play like the second part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to kill 4 ppl once on my own all cuz they werent doing enough damage while i was healing up about 3k per skill. Mind you that was before the last big patch, my build got buffed since then.The only class that could give me troubles is thief due to all the teleports they have but i usually just walked away to not waste time on someone who reset fight 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lahm.7056 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Believe it or not, I never lost to a condi rev on my dual scepter core signet mesmer build. The worst case scenario they just kite away since we're not hot in mobility but just to say it can be countered, but its definitely one of the strongest builds around.

Eight years later and you still don't get that the gemstore comes first, then PvE Story mode takes whatever's left of the manpower, then if someone has nothing to do on their break, they might fancy a bit of light "class balance".

Sovereign.1093 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 To think that this is THE nerfed condi rev. Before 1 condi rev can take out 3 Weaver's easy. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 dodge mallyx leap, dodge mace 3, dodge/ kite mace 2 and you should do decent. remember to not blow your cleanses but let the condis build up a bit. pay attention to any cover condis, try to wait them out before cleansing. save any condis you have for when they're not in mallyx.

meri.9187 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 You walk away. Condi rev is so massively overtuned in WvW that any condi rev who won't fight 1v2 at the least is a coward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchonWing.9480 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 CC and use mobility skills to get away from them. Abuse LOS to heal/cleanse, so you won't die from moving via torment. Never let them get the jump on you in open field; NOPE out of that fight. I really don't care what anyone thinks; don't let them have that initial engage. Make them come to you. That's because they will just run around while you futilely try to burst them in the hopes you'll run into their condis and take additional damage from torment. Pressure them to bait out Infused light and then stop attacking. You generally don't want to waste the whole burst but make them panic instead At this point, a good deal of them will run and you probably can't kill them but you can keep them in combat so other people can run them over. Honestly, I'm not really sure if various builds can handle them at all, the more range and mobility and cc you have, the better. But fighting them is a waste of time anyways especially if they're just going to run so I guess don't fight them. Or just pretend to be afk and have like 4 friends hiding behind a house. That's probably roaming meta anyways....I honestly don't think I win in fair fights assuming anyone competent (unless on condi rev myself or running zerker stance on spb); I just abuse mobility to reset the fight so they eventually die of boredom or we get adds. It's only fair right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedievalThings.5417 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 If traited right, soulbeast is a decent counter to them. Even if I can't beat them, I can make them go away without killing me. The build does need Anet to tone it down some though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
