I find Ruye easy, even without a tank build. Put on some projectile reflect/destruction and a shield and you're good. Dodging the fire is easy. Also, on Rev, Jalis really helps with damage reduction and even more so with Planar Protection (for projectile protection) or Close Combat for further damage reduction, both in Retribution and you don't even need to sacrifice your DPS build for it. At least, not too much. Ezal, however, fires far faster than Ruye, almost twice as much, has the same knockback cone as Zirh/Ruye AND the projectiles of Varre, but MUCH harder to avoid and when shooting through them and hitting you, she blinds you, so hitting her sometimes means missing vital attacks like CC, teleports or elite skills. Mind you, this is all my personal opinion, but I've heard more people ask for help with Ezal than with Ruye.

I can tell all you whiners talking about the devaluing of the Maguuma Lilies, it probably won't change much since the rate is still garbage tier. Been gathering since yesterday and only gotten one. Technically that is better than before since I would get every maybe 2 days or so. Your precious gold will stay the same.

Funny this should be brought up. As a way to show that Condi Herald was really good at tanking and killing, I made a video on it. It has me messing up quite a bit, but even with that, didn't get downed once. It's an attrition build, but gets the job done. This was soloing Ezal the Quick in Harathi Hinterlands, probably the hardest of all the Bandit Champions, including the Executioner, which is a legendary (which this build can take on as well).

Well, you're right about that, but at the same time, they've been adding more things to the game that clogs the screen and more complex models that now requires more modern hardware. When it was released, it was good for the hardware at the time, but as time progresses, it needs more. And sadly, due to how "not very optimized" it is, it will always run like poopoo.

Not only would it require GW2 to have it's graphics engine/api to be rewritten to DX12 (which won't happen), but then they'd have to somehow jerry-rig the engine to support DLSS, which would be a monumental task to add to a very old MMORPG. On top of that, it probably wouldn't run very well on other hardware outside of NVIDIA's video cards and this game was meant to be run with, well, average hardware. You'd have better luck trying to convince them to, somehow, convert the full game to a mobile platform. With the resources they have now, plus people barely being able to get their hands on DLSS-capable cards due to how the market has been destroyed by scalper bots and low supply, the interest in GW2 running with DLSS is going to be less than the interest for GW2 on Linux, which is VERY niche as is. tl:dr: While a nice idea to think about, it's not even remotely feasible to add DLSS to the game, let alone it be worth it for people since most players aren't running computers with graphics cards that powerful anyway.

> @"Dante.1508" said: > For me its the clunky animations on the skills that make so bad. The horrible cones and square shaped attacks just seem niche and pointless in the actual game.. Imo it was a really poorly thought out class. I disagree. Sure, it could have had some more thought put into it, but you can still get a lot out of it and the animations make it easy enough to know what you're doing to do next without much issue. > @"Kat.2849" said: > This video is a year old - changes didn't happen in a year for Revenant? I've been using the [shortbow Renegade](https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Renegade_-_Shortbow_Renegade) build from Metabattle (with Trailblazer gear) and even switched out Kalla for Glint to have an option that mitigates one-shot attacks (Facet of Light is AMAZING). The DPS is a bit lower, but honestly, it barely notice it and still kill champs fast and easily. I switch to [Power Bombardment](https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Renegade_-_Power_Bombardment) if I want to kill trash mobs fast before going after something much more powerful or if I want a bit more challenge. Honestly, Condi Herald with the rest of the Shortbow Renegade build is really strong and it makes things melt pretty well. It says to use Superior Runes of Tormenting, but it won't really matter much if you are face tanking and not moving (plus it won't help against immobile targets). Just go with Nightmare. It's a best general purpose option that gets results. Switch out Corruption (if running Trailblazer) for Invocation to help against heavy condi fights or fights where projectiles are a problem (use Dome of the Mists). Even against trash mobs, the AoEs from Mallyx and Glint really help take them out fairly quickly.
