Overview

A Power Revenant PvP build that offers high burst damage, potent group CC and can even provide some utility to the team. This build is like a mix of Herald and Renegade, but not quite as good as either one of them at what they do best. A jack of all trades, master of none.

Specializations

Variants

• Steadfast Rejuvenation adds extra healing to the build but makes your RotGD worse against conditions and sacrifices a useful defensive proc too.

Variants

• Rite of the Great Dwarf is a stun break with a cast time. While the skill breaks stun at the start, you could lose out on all the energy without getting the second part of the skill off if you get CC'd while channeling the skill. Stability from Glaring Resolve could help you get the channel off after breaking a stun, but you'll lose out on some minor cleansing on weapon swap.

Note: Legend swap can trigger on weapon swap sigils, changing weapons is not required.

Usage

Important Mechanics

1. Song of the Mists provide sustain and assistance to achieve skills faster, use legend swap in range of foes as often possible to fully benefit.
2. Versed in Stone is mandatory to survive condition pressure, therefor use Rite of the Great Dwarf if a burst is predictable.
3. Sigil of Intelligence is extremely powerful as a Revenant since it activates on legend swap, allowing for flexibility in bursts.
4. Sigil of Purging rewards camping Staff assuming a defensive stance as most skills could require proper timing to see their worth. Sigil of Cleansing can also see use in a more predictable way but requires legend swap.

Legendary Dwarf Stance

1. Soothing Stone is the solve it all skill, it should only be used absolutely if you have less than it can heal. Quickness can help casting the skill faster.
2. Inspiring Reinforcement to be used offensively or defensively, it deals high damage and provide Weakness along Stability.
3. Forced Engagement is the main burst setup, can possibly distract an entire fight in the favor of your team.
4. Vengeful Hammers should be used in regards to not having enough energy for Rite of the Great Dwarf and foes being in range. Great skill to use up Enchanted Daggers as they are Unblockable and also heals.
5. Rite of the Great Dwarf is the main aspect of the legend, should always be used if Song of the Mists has been effectively used to mitigate massive damage. Phase Traversal has great synergy with this skill for team support or initiating dangerous engagements.

Legendary Assassin Stance

1. Enchanted Daggers has many uses as a Life Steal which can go through many utilities that aren't blocks/invulnerabilities, however Poison can drastically reduce it's effectiveness.
2. Riposting Shadows is great for kitting, restoring endurance, Fury and clearing benefits. It's predictable timing however can be detrimental and so shouldn't be carelessly used unless energy is to spare and legend swapping is available.
3. Phase Traversal great mobility skill that can open unusual opportunities with it's 2 Unblockable hits and Quickness. The final hit of this skill can be useful to remove Blind and setup a burst.
4. Impossible Odds is a risky DPS buff that should be used only knowing there is options to fall back to.
5. Jade Winds great for turning long lasting fights around, best used while legend swap is available.

Sword/Sword

The main set, this is where most of your damage comes from.

1. Preparation Thrust combined Quickness with Impossible Odds can result in a lot of damage.
2. Chilling Isolation does great damage on a short CD without any setup.
3. Unrelenting Assault can be used for evading attack or dealing great damage for single targets, Impossible Odds doubles damage at a higher energy cost.
4. Shackling Wave and Deathstrike are your two main burst skills.

Staff

Defensive/utility set. Should only be used under pressure to sustain or if you need to CC, it will not add into damage and in most cases use up a valuable weapon swap.

1. Rapid Swipe is still a decent cleave with Impossible Odds and Quickness, using it faster also spawn more orbs that can heal.
2. Mender's Rebuke fairly good damage dealer while also mitigating damage on top of all the other Weakness.
3. Warding Rift is the main way to nullify predictable incoming bursts and should always be used as such for anything but Daredevil/Thieves as they have all the means to interrupt it and put the user in a very bad spot.
4. Renewing Wave is the fallback skill in case of extreme condition pressure before having to rely on Soothing Stone, it can be secured more easily with Stability or Quickness, sigils also put a great contribution at increasing the chances of removing important conditions.
5. Surge of the Mists is a great interrupt on resurrects or kitting tool to avoid damage, however it's pattern is predictable like Riposting Shadows therefor having legend swap available is recommended. As it is a multi-cc, it can go through single stacks of Stability with ease, making those that pulse only once per second vulnerable, skill such as Inspiring Reinforcement or Lich Form.

Counters

• Heavy use of conditions.
