Rev is such a difficult class, got into it after playing guardian (mostly dh, I seem to dislike wb, or very meta builds). This build is super fun, very similar to the one in meta battle, just different relic and a trait. Learning this class has been a blast, and the play style of in and out is absolutely awesome. Awesome video
11:48 something I like to do that gets me a lot of kills is start the animation for my attacks mid dodge, so that it lands just as their dodge ends. For instance if you use sword 4 or 5 here that'd get some nice damage and get the kill. That CC would not have been able to get off before your hit. People rarely double dodge and if they do they're completely out of dodges, getting them killed aswel, so this is a pretty consistent way to get kills for me. One thing strong players do is dodge in a direction where it's difficult to pull this off. Like if the ranger had gone the other way. I would join your guild but alas I'm in EU
I am in a bunch of guilds and never do anything with them. I think I can’t make the time commitments I had when I was younger playing WoW. GW2 is special in that PUGs can do a lot of content. I’d join your guild, though, just to help out with anything people need.
I just found your channel the other day while coming back to the game. Loving the content and your attitude! It would be awesome to join your guild... are they locked to servers or as long as we are in the same region? (I don't know much about guilds...)
That sounds like a great idea. I’d definitely be interested in joining your Discord server or guild(If EU). Let me know when you’re setting it up, and I’ll be there!
Hey man thx for all the chill posts! learning a lot! Quick question for a new player trying to learn revenant for pvp / wvw. What specs/builds would you suggest?
Hey glad you're enjoying! I'd honestly recommend playing around with them all and seeing which feels right for you. Everyone seems to have their favourites. Vindicator is the most complex but also the strongest rev spec. It typically is only played as a power build though. Herald is less complex but not quite as strong as vindi. It has the flexibility to be played as power or condi. It is my personal favourite. Renegade is probably the least complex to play, but has the lowest skill ceiling. It does give amazing boons to its allies though and can be played as power or condi. Jump into the PVP lobby and try them all out. See which appeals most to you. And if you have any questions or would like some build help / suggestions feel free to hit me up any time.
I feel like you could definitely have something awesome to offer with a guild/discord. Im also definitely interested in your coaching if that's something you are ready to do.
Could you please make a new player Rev PVP guide in the future? A guide that talks about all the elite specializations, weapons, weapon combos and how to face (or avoid :p) certain classes and biggest of all *how to stay alive while being offensive enough to win* also if you do it please keep it new player friendly, most guides out there assume people know everything about gearing maps, pvp game modes, staying alive, counters and metas, you get the idea :p ... that would be an insane video from someone like you, and it would help lots of new and returning players like myself 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@Gothfel Hmmmm that's definitely a good idea, but is a lot of topics to cover. I would for sure consider making something like that but the hard part would be making sure it isn't an hour long lol. Thanks for the suggestion!
can you make a montage kinda video where you commentate on what your and opponents skills do so i can link it to non-gw2 people to show how the game plays and they could follow along for once? havent seen literally anything like that ever. tnx.
Yes, a guild would be nice, I've been looking for a PvP guild and a discord could be cool, I've played Rev for a while but anet seems to go back and forth on nerfing this class, if you need to cap a guild hall I would be happy to join you.
@@levelmakerguru Thank you for offering to help 🙏 I'm definitely not a guild leadership kinda guy so this would be a bit out of my depth and I'd take all the help I could get
Thank you! The GS is a great all-rounder weapon. You can definitely take it in place of dual swords for extra sustain, or in place of staff if you feel like going all in on damage.
@@tchevensky7802 That can certainly work! You'll have an insane level of damage. And vindicator would complement that more than herald would because of its higher damage modifiers. Try it out!
I know these talent choices have always been a part of Herald spvp meta but i just can't rationalize using Thrill of combat or Song of the mists. Thrill of combat is at most ~68 healing a second, which is very much neglectable and taking Song of the mists forces you into a precision heavy rune, losing out on an insane amount of ferocity/power (scholar) in the process.
Thrill of combat is nice because if you don't take it you'll have no battle scars at all. The fact that they add both healing and damage to your build makes them hard to pass up. The extra might trait is hit or miss because might can be ripped / corrupted. And the fury trait is kinda negligible on herald. Song of the mists is an awesome trait. The hit on legend swap and the boons are awesome. Especially swapping into assassin for quickness secures so many kills its insane. You can make changes for personal preference. But there's a good reason top revs playing salv vindi are taking thrill of combat (battle scars), and brutality (quickness).
@@homage3 I mainly play wvw so its a tad different, but even when i run vindicator, i usually go for invocation+devastation with assassins presence because of the fury uptime and hydromancy burst on shiro port. Seems like there has always been a little disconnect between wvw and spvp power rev builds.^^ But its a strange concept to me not to go for fury
@@brolaf3792 That's kinda the golden question on power Rev! You have a very high base power stat, and get very good access to might... which gives more power. At a certain point, ferocity becomes more valuable than power. BUT with Rev your might stacks are always fluctuating so some fights ferocity might be better some fights power might be better. It's one of those things where it's hard to call what is the best. It's mostly just personal preference! You can definitely take infiltration and have success.
Would love to have a discord server. Ngl, I don't have anyone to play pvp with and specially to help me out with what I'm messing up, so I'd love to have some feedback. I'm currently really bad at the game, so some feedback would go a long way.
Yes, guild, yes, discord.
"if youre not having fun, why are you playing video games at all 👁👄👁 ...anyways..."
Such a nice video, and props to you for playing some old school builds. I really dig the wholesome content on your channel, keep up the good work ^^
Oh no way its Holts, I used to watch your videos all the time 2-3 years ago. I hope you're doing well and thanks for leaving a comment!
@@homage3 Whaaat that's so cool to hear! Doing well, thanks :) If I was still playing gw2 I'd totally join your guild
I can see your guild attracting a lot of chill PvP players without the high octane raging lol
would def be a fun guild to join

Dude I am a herald main and I never play PvP. I realize that I miss so much! Ty for video.
@@utkuisbilir Herald mains unite! Herald PVP is super fun, but a bit hard to pick up. Hope you enjoy it!
Great video ❤ herald spellbreaker duels are peak pvp.

would definitely be cool to see a homage guild

It would be awesome to join your guild... are they locked to servers or as long as we are in the same region? (I don't know much about guilds...)
The only region lock is NA / EU. So the guild would be NA if I decide to do it! Glad to know you're interested and thanks for watching :)
I would join a guild too, having a PVP guild is something Im definitely interested in.
starting a guild would be awesome I would join for sure!
Thanks for letting me know!
Same if u made it 😂 it will be my honor to join with u sir and learn much more from experience gamer

@@thundreturtle Hahaha glad you liked that bit. I thought it was kinda funny 😁
Great vid,
What do you think about GS on Herald, and should it replace Swords or staff if it to be used.
Thank you! The GS is a great all-rounder weapon. You can definitely take it in place of dual swords for extra sustain, or in place of staff if you feel like going all in on damage.
Guild would be fun
I'd 100% join a guild since I don't really have one lol. I just play with my family most of the time.
Would be quite interesting if im able to join with my alt acc (since on my main i allready got 5 guilds :x)
I would love to join your guild and discord if on EU, as a few power herald mains left, lets stand together.
@@coldwind8327 There's dozens of us!!! Dozens!! 😆
@@homage3 wow really?? I hardly encounter power heralds nowadays on pvp. Most play condi..
Discord sounds fun..
What about wvw can I use this build for it ? I asked bc u r the herald master here ❤
You can definitely use this in WVW! It's actually much stronger in WVW than in PVP. I recommend using marauder and berserker gear. Good luck!
what you think on swaping the staff by a greatsword? since the staff nerfs i cant get my self used to it on ranked games
@@tchevensky7802 That can certainly work! You'll have an insane level of damage. And vindicator would complement that more than herald would because of its higher damage modifiers. Try it out!
@@homage3 i just dont like the jump from vindicator 😂
Im down to be coached into pvp im down for guild

Please, if you can bring more Power Herald videos like this... There are so few contents with Dual Sword's Power Herald
@@Marcus04011996 You are in luck because vindicator just got absolutely dumpstered in the last patch so expect more herald stuff
yeah, build is good until ppl realize that they have a dodge roll button
