Vasdamas Anklast.1607

Some of us like it the way it is. Besides revenant lacks in variety of skills (and has less number of skills comparing to other classes) so it'd be a nice step to improving diversity.

Two newbies attacked me at dueling spot. I downstated them both and let them go. They came back as 4, ganked and then whispered me with mockery. Just a quick example out of my memory.

They attack me, I hurt them until they hurt no more. Don't tell me what to do, OP.

yeah let's give ways till it becomes Resonating Sliver #2

Remember when core ranger was like staff ele on wvw? That's right, those dumb stubborn fucks now have a chance of killing you without putting much effort whatsoever.

See how staff ele becomes OP in next expansion (nah, ele will probably remain a meme class cuz you know...one can't be overpowered for too long unlike some shoddy pinky class devs play)

Shield is terrible but I play it on WvW after after they added condi cleanse to it. Doesn't mean it's no terrible af with all abundance of unblockables out here. And shield's 4 is bad. just bad. I'd run to alpine ruins and back before it reaches it's target and then get screwed by sync/geodata anyway

What the fuck are you all talking about?

~Rev main

This game has many issues. Classes with too many safestomps, too many revive bots, too many oneshot you from 1500 and run aways, too much stealth and too many classes that can maintain 25 stacks of might on their own. (and very often vulnerability too) So let people complain

After no-downstate week it's just not the same enjoyable game again. Honestly I'd rather just die without downstate and get something for it because some classes are either immortal in downstate or will just gib while you are trying to finish them them off (hello immortal underwater rangers, 20+ stacks of confusion condi mesmers and power mesmers with phantasmal rogue hitting for 10k+). But then we have classes that have something like this https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vengeful_Blast

Most competitive games have great healing reduction (50% and above) in player vs player modes and in this game we are told that there is no holy trinity kek

Oh there is a lot but most them can be described as pussy oneshot hit and run or so called "hard-to-get" specs. I don't want to list all of that BS so will just go for my favourite(no) - Mesmer

CLASS: Mesmer

SCENARIO: Roaming, supporting. Some can even pull weight in zergs

WHY: This "profession" is like one of those cases when somebody takes a class from another game and puts it into yours. And it doesn't play out well.

There is so much cancer in mesmer. You can make oneshot hit and run out of any spec. Core, Chronomancer or Mirage. Condi mirage is also still a thing. This class has both boon creep, mobility sustain, invulnerability frames and ability to OOC from you at any moment, ultimate pussy class that I hate so much and people playing it only proved to be worthy of such treatment. The only other thing just as ridiculous as mesmer is probably scrapper/holo but at least holo takes some skill to play and scrapper can't oneshot and call it a day.

Now don't get me wrong there are lots of other specs like Sic Em SB with greatsword, permastealth malicious backstabb+rifle DEs, poledancing thieves (thieves keep QQing on forums trying to get some buffs but all know they are not Elementalist meme) and holosmiths. It's just that they are easier to deal with.

Also somebody mentioned DH? Perhaps but only 1v1 scenario for some classes. In any duel or small scale overloaded with unblockables they are piece of cake.

UPD shame we can't have runes/sigils poll kek Because I'd definitely go for durability

Hmmmmm dunno. If my revenant was a regular power rev i'd probably say yes - child of ritualist and assassin.

However as far as it goes, I suspect more than 2 persons were involved in that affair. With either warrior, ritualist, assassin or necromancer being very loose female.

But heeey, it could have been much worse. *cough* Ventari *cough*

P.S Dwarves are cool dudes too mmkay

Reality of this game's balance as is. Bullshit pussy oneshot classes with abundance of access to cheesy shadowsteps, stealth or invulnerability which they can use WHILE USING OFFENSIVE SKILLS are OK because majority loves the professions they played since 2012. But then we got revenant, a wannabe warrior-thief with no access to stealth, passive stability and only invulnerability skill is HERALD ONLY and it lasts 3 seconds. Also, eeeeey you downed those 3 guys on your own? Good like stomping them because your class got no safe stomps.

It's not like ArenaNet is intending to play their game soon too. A couple days ago I caught a reaper entering stealth alone which I know is not possible anymore (no traps and iniltration runes got changed) recorded it and they told me it's Spectral Walk aaaaay lmao Whole fight took place on some cliff with size of your typical spvp node. So no, abandon all reason

These threads are fucking cringe. Why don't you also complain that infuse the light is too long (3 seconds comparing to 4s of same shit we copypasted from warriors) or it's hard to hear or notice huh

Roflcopter combo starts with shadostep which has animation, pretty long one, even for pre-competitive lvls and easily dodged. I know 48 years old roamer that can dodge and predict this easily in small scale, why can't you idc.

Sic em cancer can kill you with a single LB2 and then play hard to get with you for days or until you make a mistake and they maul you for 19k.

But yeah let's complain about revenant's melee burst and nerf it's only meta build till this class becomes a meme like elementalist. Another class that is not allowed to have powecreep

You are welcome to remove half of my hp with a single shroud AA on WvW, reaper homie.

Wait guys, maybe they compensated it with better sustain or...wait a second

Guess one class can have burst and stealth, invulnerability, close to unlimited ammount of windows to disengage and SUSTAIN on top of that while this one can't have even burst.

Yeah, that fix would be good except you know. I think it's 3rd time I see them fixing it lmao

I had a blast last week with friends, literally 5 of us could take apart 20-25 players without them power rezzing (and by the way, not a single one of us was on Soulbeast during this event).

LMAO so much bullshit

So If 5 can kill 20 then it's those 5 who are getting carried and not that bunch of 20 that puts zero effort and waits for cheese revive by fbs/scrappers? Moreover it's your own fault for not properly evaluating the situation. I mean do you even BOTHER looking at what you are fighting again to predict possible outcomes or all you see is red names and just hit 11111. If you see a thief you should position yourself accordingly, without giving them an opportunity to backstab you and they are not that threatening if if backstab came from other way than behind. Most of those oneshot scrubs are squishy as hell as well (implying they are oneshottable by most builds as well).

And no, I am not running any of those builds but I am sick and tired of fighting bigger groups just to see some plebs getting revived all the time.

Yes, I've come to realize that I no longer want to play this game (and I play for WvW only nowadays) after downstate week was over. There are just too many mechanics favouring bigger groups and downstate is the most obscene out of them all. It sucks when you have to fight a group x3 more size of yours, see them keep getting downstated and then revived in a matter of couple seconds. And dont get me started on night try-hard servers, even if you try fighting those groups there is no chance you will be able to finish a downstate because you know it's hard to cleave somebody when there are at least 4 reviving them.

All this whine about no downstate makes me sick. Finally a true equalizer for everyone - no more immortal druids underwater, no more FBs running around to save your ass because you ALLOW yourself to fuck up too much. No more advantage for outnumbering groups. Last and this downstate events have been great so far

I'd delete renegade and forget it ever existed.

Yeah sorry no sarcasm.

Well bitch revenant doesn't have save stomp (and no save cheese res as well). It doesn't have high uptime protection. It doesn't have endure pain, stability stance or stone signet. It doesn't even have a great sustain for extended fight and it's role is +1. Infuse the light is useless if your enemy is aware of it and doesn't have 80 years old grandpa reflexes.

But yeah let's complain about it (i mean let mesmers cunts continue manipulating the balance) and pretend we never got hit by mindwrack for 8k as bunkers.

P.S incisorr.9502 KYS mesmer cunt

It's time to limit transfers, shorten time of server linking, make multiple accounts on wvw bannable offense and punish MU manipulations.

Yeah, basically. Very lots of things

Both phase traversal and sword 5 are shadowsteps allowing you to teleport through the walls or on them. If there is any bridge or other high ground you can teleport to just mark something quickly, jump down and teleport back after they chased you all the way down. Helped me escape some angry blobs sometimes, not much you can do if they got semi-competent thief or mesmer however. But again revenant isnt your boon up, stealth and jump ahead for days profession. I mean, there is a reason our bunker builds are worst out there because of how poorly rev can withstand focus

Because erasing your target with single longbow 2 skill after merging with pet is cheese that's why.

Against experienced core war > watch out when you use your sword's 3. There is a brief moment when you can do absolutely NO SHIT against comming bullcharge or Eviscerate (or any other burst skill) so make sure you either have a way of blinding them with facet of darkness active or dodging with riposting shadows as soon as you see the animation.

Also I personally like surging more than fireworks because of stun shield. Just need to proc off their passive stability to time it properly (if they even have one). Enduring pain might be troublesome too but so far I've never had problems because I am always aware of it. Oh and ofc don't just activate facet of chaos' active especially if you screwed up your offense phase. Protection is very useful for prolonged trades and fight with wars will be a long one in most cases since you can't burst them down fast no matter what you do.

There is also just experience factor but that comes with time. And yeah don't get tilted :D

Shield 5 would be great if it allowed you to move (at expense of reduced healing and removal boon duration increase?). I personally never liked shield's 4, too clunky, too slow and kinda not worth wasting your energy on it. I'd rather see a complete rework than some minor tweak's to rev's shield 4

For me it's just some servers. Gandara for most part. Small scale is nothing but train of countless whispers and their roamers often just act like dickheads everywhere you meet them. Including dueling spots.

Then when it comes to big scale WvW people got too elitistic as if it's some high end PvE raid mode lmao Shifting blame on everyone who runs slightly offmeta build (i even know of some WvW raid guilds that want you to record a video of your gameplay), picking on scout reports that, in their opinion, lacking P-R-O-P-E-R info. Because you know YOU GOTTA BE ABLE to report every enemy's movement while trying to buy some time too without any usage of acronyms. Oh and please include link with nearest WP because again it's easier to bark up the wrong tree and complain.

And don't even get me started on the recent FSP's "We aint wanna fight that tough shit so we are tanking these match ups" bullshit which is basically WVW MATCH MANIPULATION and display of shitty unsporstmenlike behaviour. Really hate this bullshit, it's one of the reasons why I left Desolation and transfered to AG despite sticking to it for 3 years. Fuck server linking.
