Nothing more frustrating than fighting an enemey with 5 % hp left and Unrelenting Assault bugs out, hitting for 0 and he can resustain..
-
It is probably going to be another Aurora copy.

I mean we only have 5v5 Unranked right now which has no Matchmaking. I play power rev atm and it works really good vs bots, but it might be completely different in Ranked

Boyce has been using this power build on stream recently: [gw2skills.net/editor/?PmABwylflpQMMLyjdRdMMijJSksCigl+UWbH-zZIPlGFBRKEyUB0rEQgDA](http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PmABwylflpQMMLyjdRdMMijJSksCigl+UWbH-zZIPlGFBRKEyUB0rEQgDA) playing Retribution and Mace/Axe instead of Staff, it´s really fun in PvP

You do realize the big balance patch was only the first step and was (mostly) meant to decrease the powercreep overall? Of course not everything is perfect, there is still broken shit that needs to be looked at, but it was a patch that Anet can follow up on the following weeks/months.
-
I like it for the most part, however rezzing skills/traits need to be toned downed or even removed from PvP. Downing someone 4 times in a row without being able to finish him off is really not enjoyable
-
Played a match as power rev vs 2 holos and 2 eles, got perma ccd to death, 10/10 much fun
-
I wish they would just remove every rezz skill/trait in PVP only, I am tired of downing someone 5 times in a row and still lose in the end

That´s my point, when they are too bloated you should nerf the functionality or increase the CD, not the energy which worsens fluid gameplay

More like "useful skill that costs too much". It´s no fun to play a class that can´t even use half of their utility because the energy is drained by too expensive skills.

they keep increasing rev energy costs XD

removing quickness would be the final nail in the coffin for power herald as it is right now

Most of Condi Rev CC comes from Call to Anguish which needs to be toned down in radius imo, maybe also increase the CD. They also need to look into Necro Fear Output/Duration. Thief CC is not a problem tho

Full Counter, Dagger 3, Bull´s Charge, Rampage .. ?

You are delusional.

idk, core necro seems to be really strong in 5v5 right now, i hope they do something about fear duration/damage and rezz power
-
I love how all the Mirage players are crying because their spec got hit hard for the first time since PoF release

That hotfix is about a new trait which is still a buff compared to the trait it replaced.

What else would you do in PvE? It doesn´t matter what you play in Open World, you can do everything just by autoattacking

Tried out power herald yesterday with berserker amulet and strength runes, still felt like I hit like a wet noodle.

Mirage and Support/DPS-Chrono are both Meta on several Raid bosses.

What gutting?
The Post patch discussion, how do we feel about revenant now?
in Revenant

I still play Power Rev in SPVP and it feels okay, however the risk of being more squishy compared to condi rev or other condi classes is not really worth the damage output power rev can do now, even with Berserker stats. I also started playing Retribution instead of Devastation cause the trait line is pretty garbage now.
