Been using this build for general gameplay (random open world stuff/metas/world bosses) and I have to say that its pretty fun. Keeps everyone's boons topped off, brings some nice quickness, and its honestly pretty easy to pick up.
I think medizooka 2.0 is worth bringing up whenever you mention boon builds in open world, especially on alacrity builds as it allows for providing some quickness in addition to your alac. It gives 5s of quickness from the 3rd ability, 10s with boon duration, and has a 24s cooldown if you have alac, or 30s elsewise. So 41% quickness uptime if you have 100% alac, or 33% uptime if you have no alac. On this build it will allow for maintaining quickness uptime much easier. It also provides some other nice quality of life boons with resistance, resolution, protection, vigor, regen, swiftness, fury and 6 stacks of might. You can if you want spam the 1 for 40 man regen output (at no boon duration) up to 80+ if you have 100% bd. People mostly go for the stun because it's super easy breakbar damage, but the medizooka is a really viable choice, and has a little bit of a CC on the launch up.
Sigil of Demon and also "Tormenting duration" foods dont work. Tormenting modifiers are bugged. Only Runes of Tormenting work. I hope they will fix it ... I want to try my plague doctor spectre 😭
This was my main "solo open world champs" build, before the torment rune got (rightfully) gutted. It's still fun, but a bit boring. But judging by the popularity of the Mechanist, that isn't an issue for most folks.
What am afraid the most is when in condi heavy fight, the facet nature in demon stance wull absorb absurd amount of condi to me with no way to cleanse and got down
You could probably use diviner with Jalis or Shiro in situations where that's a concern. Not sure what the ideal runes to use to keep up Quickness uptime with that build are, though.
@@Draxynnic I just change the Demon to centaur and it work great while also cleanse Condi and heal those around me. oh and Jalis as well when stability needs
@@JRZTT Centaur's more of a DPS loss, but yeah, if you need the extra healing, condi cleanse, and/or projectile hate more than max DPS, it's good to have in your toolkit.
It could work but I fear that it will be lower dps in raids than the power version of the build. Condi works a bit better in open world because cele is tankier and more self-sufficient. But if you only have one gear set, I think you could definitely use Ritualist and play it everywhere.
@@jadonleahrain9214 That's been happening for a while, though. For instance, until power berserker got smacked around in the recent patches, it was using thief runes.
He have good open world warrior build. You don't have to be so dramatic with this warrior wait for the changes or play with a different class like each of us at the moment
The open world spellbreaker build I have on here is still good. It actually got a boost from the Fury change since you can use more pieces of berserker.
Who would have thought that we would be using this rune on rev🤣 strange times. Personally, I would advise players to wait for the next changes because playing with celestial stat is very boring
@@NikeonaBike Playing with this statistic force you focus more on support which naturally makes the gameplay more passive only this. I'm not picking on your choice because you are doing the best you can with this specialization we have what we have thanks to arena net and as the old saying goes, "shit can't be made into perfume"
@@TH-camChillZone How does that actually apply in this particular case? You're not playing "healer" micromanaging Ventari's tablet or timing barrier bursts, you're not sitting there in flamethrower mashing 1+2. Pretty much _every_ condi rev build amounts to "swap on cd, toggle Embrace, auto+a single dps weapon skill, swap on cd, dump 3-4 good abilities, swap on cd..." so what's the difference between facets and dumping Kalla spirits? Or even the old IO+hammers power builds where you _also_ basically sat on an upkeep skill spamming the same 2-3 abilities over and over?
HERALD IS BACK ON THE MENU

It never occurred to try cele herald after patch, might give this a try later! (already having fun with the diviner's build, though)

Love the build and will definitely be putting this to use for open world. I'll use my cele stats anywhere I can.
Hey Nike, how can i get those Exact and Percentage HP/Breakbars ?
Thanks for always giving us proper builds to play Nike!

speaking of Torment Rune, what would be a good replacement for it? for open world solo purpose :)
@@fallbrumbyg426 Nightmare most likely. Orr works with a lot of builds as well.
I wanna use fb rune but i share gear with renegade so i went traveller instead
When I saw it I thought it's another "onion farm" type of video 😀 It's nice that herald may get viable finally.

Not too familiar with the most recent patch notes.
Does this still work or would there be some changes that need to be done for this build?
noithing changed that affected it at all.
whats the raid version of the build is there a link anywhere?
The raid version is power based. snowcrows.com/builds/revenant/herald/power-quickness-herald
Maybe I should try this revenant someday, looks nice
can i solo HoT hero points with it ?
The build isn't specifically for soloing things but if youre good enough it has the tools to do so
@@NikeonaBike nice thanks alot :)
can ritualist gear work for a dps, quickness combo on Herald for Raids / Strikes?
It could work but I fear that it will be lower dps in raids than the power version of the build. Condi works a bit better in open world because cele is tankier and more self-sufficient. But if you only have one gear set, I think you could definitely use Ritualist and play it everywhere.
What's the intro music?
an old chiptune from a game crack from 2003. No idea what its called if anything.
You need your food in shared inv. New meta hahahaha
50+ apm build in openworld as support ?nothnx
It seems so silly to me that rune of the firebrand is optimal on something that is not firebrand.
Grants quickness, check.
Inflicts burning, check.
Looks legit to me!
@@Draxynnic yeah but specifically roleplay wise it feels silly that I would want to use rune of firebrand when I'm not playing a firebrand

👹👋🏻👋🏻
This new version is really weak for solo-ing harder open world content compared to the old version (even with nerfed torment runes).
to be clear this isnt meant for soloing champions or the like. this is a build you play at world bosses / meta events.
might generation is 25 perma , fury too...regen, 25 perma vuln ...its obv you're clueless.
@@cjttruelife it's ok that you have a bad day but please don't take it out on other people. Thank you
Warrior build? Lmaooo
He have good open world warrior build.

How is a one type of stat more boring than another? Is it more fun to swing your mace with viper stats or celestial somehow?

@@ASchnacky passive because you are an extension of the team's statistics so nothing has changed for this class
Celestial was a mistake.
