Goon gave this build 4 stars • February 2023

The most recent nerfs have reduced both your sustain and kill pressure. The build still has amazing sustain but will struggle to get kills against good players. Still a solid choice for trolling far until you get a plus, though I would argue the devastation - dps/roamer variant is more valuable to a team.

Hanz gave this build 5 stars • October 2022

Gained a surge in popularity after the October patch gave Vindis a second dodge. Got about a dozens nerfs in a week since then but it's still great, lots of dodges and crazy boon uptime plus decent damage. Probably the easiest revenant build out there right now.

This build provides us an easier way with more sustain, more defense and more mobility than power herald. It can win almost 1v1 fights against almost specs. However, still can be cc to death if you join combat carelessly. I prefer using Dwarf and Alliance for more survivablity. The Assassin Stance costs a bit more energy and has bad heal plus no condi cleaner

Hardin015 gave this build 4 stars • March 2022

A very powerful build, the evade traits for sustain is super powerful, it's like another heal, you get 3k+ barrier + 3k+ healing, to you AND Allies. Plus still some pretty insane dps, the only reason I give it 4 stars is because the chances of you getting to do all that and dealing any damage is most likely not gonna happen realistically. Realistically, Power Herald is far more practical and viable. It's got a great combination of defense, offense, utility AND isn't 100% braindead, it's a well balanced build without trying to be something really stupid.
