I had swiftness and we were both in combat because he started shooting me. I used greatsword5 (1200 range) bull's charge (900 range)= 2100 range. He was camping longbow and didn't use any leap because I was looking back, after few seconds the arrows were already able to hit me, for sure I wasn't less then 1800 range.

And not with longbow5, but with pew pew longbow. I wish I could screen that moment where the arrow where passing through, but I was just too mad think about that.

Nope, that 1500 range shouldn't be 1800+. ;)

Rev doesn't really have good healing - it's good against players who don't know how to deal with it yet only. **Infuse Light** (heal skill on Herald) inverts all incoming damage into healing, so watch out for the _ping_/_ting_ sound (Idk how to describe it) and a ball of white light on the rev, that's when he used the skill. If he does that just stow weapon and kite for about 3 seconds. The other healing skill is probably the Shiro one, when the rev uses it you can see the daggers hovering around him. You can either use shield 5 (which I believe will reflect the daggers - if traited - and heal YOU instead), or just evade the attacks (6 of them).

 

I agree with the high damage part though - rev's weapon skills have relatively low cooldown and hit hard as a truck, especially when there are 25 stacks of might, which is easy on Rev because of [incensed Response](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Incensed_Response). Rev is generally strong against power builds, so it's not surprising you may have a hard time as a Spellbreaker.

Unless you play tanky as a spellbreaker a good rev will wipe the floor with you every time. If you're running some cavs, durability runes, and double balanced stance, the fight shifts in the spellbreaker's favor due to rev's low sustain.
