Weapons
- Staff over Sword/Sword - much better sustain and some extra CC, but we only recommend this against enemies with low sustain. Giving up the Sword set makes it way harder to win against tanky opponents, your damage might not be enough with Staff.

Ratings
It's still strong against high damage, low sustain builds but tanky cele ones can be a struggle. Damage is not what it used to be and losing the Chill on dodge hurts more than expected. Still a very sturdy, beginner friendly build that can stand its ground in just about any matchup, but it's not as faceroll as it used to be, and it's worth swapping to some harder builds that have more damage once you're more familiar with Revenant.
After playing this for about a week and going up against some stiff builds, I can say this build is pretty amazing. With the flexibility of dual Alliance for both DPS and self healing and the benefit of Impossible Odds for higher damage output, Retribution Vindi is so good for survivability. The roaming Willbender is a heavy hitter and really annoying to combat, but with proper mitigation of damage and dodging at the right times, you can easily take them down and survive their onslaught. Highly recommend in the current meta!
