Skill Variants

Legends

  • Legendary Dwarf Stance over Legendary Alliance Stance - both legends are perfectly fine and offer a good mix of pressure and sustain, with Dwarf (Jalis) being more on the defensive side. Jalis is also more beginner friendly in general as there's 1 less legend to worry about.

Specializations

Variants

  • Steadfast Rejuvenation is also a viable option, especially when playing with Legendary Dwarf Stance as both if your legends will have an easily accessible upkeep skill to toggle on and off whenever you want. You will however lose Versed in Stone's synergy with the Dwarf elite (no more condition damage reduction).

Variants

  • Take Leviathan Strength when playing with Legendary Dwarf Stance.


Specialization Variants

Salvation over Retribution also works. Both lines provide plenty of sustain, but Salvation focuses a bit more on supporting allies in teamfights:

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.

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

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.
