Just as the title implies. Is there a memerific revenant forum guild similar of Ele, OMFG, and the like?

How can a build be apart of the metagame when rev isn't even meta. #metaception

Sounds like you need some help then. Damage isn't my concern. Surviving is. If you're struggling to deal damage while maintaining 25 might + fury then that's your problem.

sarcasm won't make you any better at this class :^)

Just gonna throw this out there for you lads:

Each off hand has a place in pvp. Also shield > axe/sword.

I don't know about the others but I'm sick of having to adjust my build and gameplay every time anet screws us over with some unnecessary and undeserved nerf when there are thousand other things that begs for their attention desperately. They could pretty much open a channel to chat with players and discuss things over instead of "balance" things based purely on numbers, which is clearly not working, or they could, and should tbh, focus on fixing the hundreds of problems and bugs the class still carries since launch.

> When they do something right I will praise them for sure, like the OH sword rework which was needed but carried out in a bad way, but when they don't then I will call for improvements of course. I love my class and I want it to be competitive with others but the way the class is now the only people playing are the truly skilled players, because the class is not attractive at all for new players in spvp/wvw. We need twice the effort compared to other classes to perform well and avoid dropping dead at any second by bursts with little to no tell. If they fix the terrible balance we have now while nerfing and or fixing everything not only revs then I will gladly accept it, but if they don't I just ask for them to turn their focus somewhere else and stop gutting revs in every single patch.

Slow your roll on that first bit m80. I have my fair share of issues with whats happening to this class just as much as the rest of you. So between you, me, and anyone who reads my shitposts. I'm doing what I can with what I have and making it work to best of my ability.

The grim reality we have to accept is that revenant will not be optimal to run in sPvP until 1 of 2 criteria are met:

1. Nerf Scourges condition output into the ground

2. Add more sustain to the Herald Specialization

Once either of those are met we will be able to be optimal in the _**CURRENT**_ meta game. However we need to look at the long term and what we will be dealing with after this season. The responses on this thread are well within the hyperbolic. This is the first and only season, so far, where Revenant wasn't an optimal class to pick for sPvP. Yeah the class is in a rough spot. But so has every other class in this game.

I think you lads need to tone it down a bit. This thread is becoming a clown fiesta of hyperbolic complaints.

is anyone else excited for the new trait change, besides me? :)

If you're not keeping at least 1 vuln stack on your target then I wouldn't say the problem lies in the trait :^)

People still think this trait is going to be a nerf to power herald? :thunking:

Eh, I'm okay with this change. Looking forward to seeing what I can do with it :^)

nice meme >;)

I'd actually like to see the cap to ranked raised to 80. It's not a challenge, nor does it take very long to hit rank 80.

You're better off sticking to power herald for PvP. Renegade is just all around bad for PvP for a variety of reasons and shouldn't be used under any circumstance. If they want to play condi herald, which I do not recommend in any way shape or form, then you'll want something like this.

Be advised your only defense against condi's is resistance, which can and will be immediately stripped from you when scourges or mesmers are present on the field.

If you have no support Firebrand on your team = shield

If you have firebrand support = axe

As a revenant your primary role is team fighting and damage. Axe provides more group utility than sword, however you can make a judgement call and take sword if you believe your team is lacking damage. If you plan on team fighting and stalling Side node points vs Druids or Spellbreakers then Shield is mandatory. You will lose the trade everytime on axe/sword offhand if you try to 1v1 a semi-competent druid.

He's not wrong. Running renegade is equivalent to 4v5

The build works primarily a pubstomper and that's about it. A good thief will always interrupt Sword 3 with headshot, a holosmith will just jump on you and unload his burst combo until you can attempt a disengage with shiro dodge since you're not taking shield and have no blocks on your build. The most you can do with this build is team pressure. You can't duel druids for side nodes, as they will wait for weapon swap to sword -> Knocback + entangle then burst you down.

There's also the option of PvP or WvW and doing the Crystal Desert reward track. The armor box at the end gives you a choice of one of the armors from the bounty hunter or warbeast set.
