Lucas.3718 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 After the recent patch how does power revenant (w. either e-specs) perform in high end pve ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent.9538 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Nerfed again both directly and indirectly, SC has removed has removed the power herald build from their website as it is absolute bottom tier for dps. With diviner's introduction with the next update a power damage + alacrity support renegade will be pretty good in some comps but the damage just doesn't compete with the other classes on its own.

LucianDK.8615 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Seems Anet just doesnt know what to do with revenants. Though I wonder now how such an alacrity revenant would be built. All out concentration for highened boon duration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 The base performance of the power rev is really good. You can do 26-28k just by auto attacking and switching between Impossible Odds and Vengeful hammers. However, the peak performance isn't much higher, so a lot of the super tryhard groups won't take you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyncius.6105 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think its still ok, have played some power herald with glint and shiro, while keeping F2 always on, it still had decent dps around 22k on sabetha and some decent dps on sloth (dont remember the numbers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still meh dot com... I did find Power Herald super-duper useful for getting the "Stacking Swords and Shields" achievement done for my CoZ, however. Perma-superspeed made that easy mode, and the dps wasn't exactly abysmal... Especially the cleave with that spin-to-win vs all the adds. But wait till after next week's patch... Alacrity Power Rev will probably be a serious option for some fractal groups (along side a power dps Quickbrand and then the usual dr00d/pBS/one straight pdps. ) Chrono/Dr00d/pBS/2x pDPS will maybe still be better for CM's, due to how phasey all the bosses are and the fact that you can always pre-stack, but like, for any longish 5 man fight, I think the Rev/FB combo will pull ahead in terms of group dps.

Unless you meant to just run with no healer, then maybe. But like, Supp Ren's don't give Spotter/Fury/Vigor/Stability/as much Vulnerability, have as reliable of cc, or provide as much consistent cleansing as druids... Also, druid's might output is more constant/reliable than ren f2. That's not to even mention situation things that rev's just can't do, like spirit rez or keep weakness uptime to fuel weaver deeps. The only thing heal Rev objectively does better is sheer outgoing healing numbers and permanent projectile denial. (I don't mention Alacrity or AP because a power Rev provides those as well.) A Slb can certainly run Frost spirit, but if you start making them take additional spirits, like say Storm for fury/vuln, their dps goes right out the window.

Kain Francois.4328 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Power Rev? Got you covered, fam. Is approximately 29k DPS after Shiro Lifetseal. Useful when you need group fury, protection, and swiftness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that the situation isn't as bad as it seems. Power Herald brings some very important boons to the party in a meta where Fury is much more rare.

They're also able to phase bosses through their prestacked fury and then just renew with FMW/banner2/ren's packrunes on arkk--not something to expect outside of a static probably.
