    Revenant might as well be the hardest class to play. I genuinely don't understand how to stay alive for more than 5 seconds.

    • @homage3
      @homage3  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      I agree, very hard to learn. Here's a couple tips!
      - Don't be aggressive when you don't have a legend swap ready
      - Don't spend so much of your energy that you have none left over to use defensive skills
      - use your movement speed to juke enemies and avoid damage!
      If you'd like more personalized help I'm kinda interested in doing some coaching content so maybe you record a few games and I can give you some pointers!

    Hey man, I'm new to guild wars 2 PvP and I used to play berserker warrior but ended up rerolling to revenant when they reworked Arcing slice. I love my revenant in PvE, it's an absolute blast but I have been having a really hard time in PvP. I only was able to hit gold 2 last year in my first season.
    Anyway, I wanted to say that I HIGHLY appreciate these videos and I wanted to thank you for making them. I very rarely comment on TH-cam and you probably won't even see this but I felt the need to say this. They are well explained, constructive and you even show in game examples at a higher rating than I will ever be. I have learned so much from this video alone because I used to play my Revenant like a duelist and I now realize that this was probably why people yelled at me when I would lose my 1v1's LOL. I instantly subscribed.

      Impossible odds is a tricky skill because it's easy to let it run too long and run yourself out of energy. Trying to reduce my usage of that skill helped me progress in skill very quickly.

    Well 7 month later I did watch this, very helpful as I am looking into Spear / Mace Herold and I did not have any idea how to use the right side of the facets / jiro. This gave me some idea how to use them. Instead of using the first 3 facets, I saw you on never vids turning impossible odds on and off to get speed. Just random play or is there a reason? Facet of Strenght is the lowest priority or not? I see you usually use CC first, Elements and Chaos, then Heal and Blind defensively. I dont see you use F2 often. Not viable? On Jiro I thought Impossible Odds is a must have but now it seems its to expensive and others like Riposte and Jade are more valuable in for evade and CC.

    • @homage3
      @homage3  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I rarely use impossible odds because it costs a lot of energy and doesn't give that much extra damage in PVP. Like you said saving your energy for Riposting Shadows and/or Phase Traversal is usually the better bet.
      The F2 actually has been buffed since this video came out. It is a really nice skill now. But damage if you use it in shiro, and condi cleanse if you use it in glint.

    Good video! :D Can you tell me your thought process of choosing weapon sets? I saw you was using 2x sword / staff or Greathersword / Hammer. Ive saw hammer got some changes on 19th March. :)

    • @homage3
      @homage3  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Thanks very much! Always appreciate nice comments.
      Dual swords is great for running around quickly and picking people off. You can also use the teleport on sword 5 to abuse terrain on maps like colleseum, khylo, and skyhammer. It is the most aggressive weapon though with little to keep you alive!
      Greatsword is a better all rounder. It has some sustain, movement, and better cleave which makes it better for those big team fights.
      Personal preference for which you prefer. But I'd say right now greatsword is a little stronger overall.
      The hammer is awesome, especially after the new buffs! Highly highly recommend trying it out. Very nice defensive weapon with a block and evade built in but still does great damage. Hammer 2 is still clunky but overall it's probably my favorite weapon on Rev right now!

    • @homage3
      @homage3  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey thanks very much.
      Weapon choice is a mix of personal preference and can vary depending on the map and matchups. I actually plan to do a video on weapon choice at some point.
      The probably best "all rounder" set is greatsword + hammer at the moment.
      But dual swords is good when you want to be rotating quickly and getting quick picks, especially on maps where you can abuse teleports like skyhammer and khylo.
      Greatsword is better in duels and teamfights, dual swords is better for roaming and +1 fights

    Thanks for this video. I played DH for about a year as a new player, but always thought Revs look cool and strong. I remember seeing this guy Cjay wreck 2-3 platinum players alone. He asked our really awesome druid to bunker home then he just killed everyone at far. Can you tell me what roles revs can play? and how each elite specs differentiates itself in terms of their style of play? I find myself enjoy moving around maps and +1 to teammates to get as many kill as possible.

    • @homage3
      @homage3  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for watching! I remember when I was a little noob ranger main I faced my first Rev and all his skills looked so cool and strong I knew I had to play Rev.
      Cjay is a next level Rev player and PVP player in general. He's unreal.
      As a Rev you can play as a teamfight DPS if you spec into heavy damage and have a support. Or you can play as a roamer and run around the map securing kills. There aren't any meta duelist Rev builds atm but you can duel on it if you outskill your enemy enough. You can honestly pick your favourite elite spec and build it however you like. Vindi is generally the best all rounder though

    • @drios9000
      @drios9000 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      let me add ontop of this. Yes you can make also support on revenant. It can be either pure support playstyle or little bit hybrid by condi damage in it. Vindicator atl the best e-spec for it and after that, herald (renegade promising soon maybe more too).
      The best is to do hybrid because you can pressure enemy team same time and have more impact. Also you can duelist better in rare case needed.
      The best hybrid condi support atm is on vindicator. Imo it's also the best build revenant can currently use atm to turn the wins to your favour.
      Max I have done till now in same match 1,1 mil healing and 320k damage

      @@djdontgetcooked Hey first of all that's a super common struggle for people to have, and may be a good topic for a video in the future. You are not alone in this issue!
      It's no secret that power herald doesn't have a lot of cleanse. There are 2 ways that we can combat this.
      1. Pack more cleanse. This is the easy band air solution. You can take the antitoxin relic, purging sigils, or hell even take salvation to bring additional cleanse in your build. The downside of this is that it always takes away from your damage and doesn't solve the root of the problem
      2. Play in a way that makes it hard for the enemies to apply conditions to you in the first place. Power builds thrive in short, bursty fights and condi builds thrive in long sustained fights. Don't give them long fights. Jump in, go for a burst, and get out.
      If you'd like, you can add me on discord and we can sit and have a 1 on 1 coaching session where I can give more personalized advice. But I hope this helps best of luck to you

      I completely empathize with you. I remember wanting to learn herald and sucking at it for weeks. But I stuck with it and am super glad I did.
      For surviving on shiro, try to not use impossible odds! It can drain your energy quickly and leave you without a stun break. Also try to only be aggressive when you've got your legend swap available.
      If you'd like some more personalized help, I'm kind of interested in doing some coaching content so maybe you could record a couple of your games and send them in to me!
