Really like the way you pause and give viewers a chance to consider the next move. Reminds me a lot of chess tutorials! Great stuff man, got a sub from me :)
Love this style of video man! Really appreciate the commentary and breakdown of your playstyle as well. Rev has always been a class I struggled with (trying condi Malyx/Glint herald atm) and so seeing a player good with the build who talks through it is really insightful!
Hey :) Gonna watch the video later as I am going to sleep right now. Quick question: do you think you could do a guide or beginners introduction video for revenant in pvp? like what are the benefits of playing herald over vondicator, what are the strenght and weaknesses of renegade, which vuild would you play in which situation, etc?
Back from vacation to an awesome video. “Press 2 and 3 and that gets the down…” You make it sound so easy. I press 2335, change weapons, 2345 and roll my face on my utility skills and the guy still stays alive.
Have you thought about making a match-up table for the more common specs? It can take time and be tricky to find out whether you're a bad match up against a particular spec, or a player was just that much better than you.
@@foaly8 I haven't considered that but it's not a bad idea. That would be challenging because there are so many classes, elite specs, condi vs power, etc. But I'll keep that in mind and think it over!
Great video. Something that I discovered recently is that you might want to consider dropping song of the mists for roiling mists. They buffed roiling mists to now give you +20% extra crit chance when you have fury. Since you have perma fury that is a lot of extra damage. Then take Zakiros relic instead of antitoxin to take full advantage of your 90% crit chance and perma fury to receive solid passive healing whenever you do damage.
@@parvizkanga5122 hey yes that's a strong alternative, a good friend of mine has been using something similar to that with great success! I'm pretty much married to somg of the mists though. I personally love the quickness when swapping into shiro. Just my personal preference
Dude I didn't find your twitch and wanna say, if you are not streaming, consider it. You make great comments on the game, It will be interesting to watch (if you can comment a bit while playing).
@@krax0xs I have considered streaming, and watch a good bit of twitch. But streaming isn't really my vibe. I like to hop on for a couple games whenever, and my play sessions don't tend to be super long.
@@homage3 I will say that rev is slowly creeping past the vindi meta, I can't take these vindi salvation cele builds in wvw anymore😭 might swap to pvp permanently haha
@@maxu4615 oh man I tried WVW roaming recently again. The average roamer isn't scary in a duel, but they just wait until they have numbers advantage and 5v1 you. And then they throw crap on your body and whisper you LOL. I swear PVP isn't even half as toxic 😭
@homage3 I mean it is wvw, so the name implies a huge free for fall, but I just don't have the patience to deal with brainrot cele builds that'll throw a 250 stack of siege on you 💀, it might even be more enjoyable to try out core rev in pvp since it's more controlled😂. The state of wvw is heavily in favor of kiting or bunker builds anyways.
Hi, your videos are great and very helpful for learning pvp! It will be very useful for new revenant players like me if you can make a video (or a series) on how you play against different professions as a rev main.
Man you got me wanted to hop back on herald. I've not really tried it much since EOD, but i used to play it exclusively since HOT. Do you find it more fun than vind? I enjoyed it, but was always very stressful and squishy
@@maxouaddane232 I find it way more fun than vindi. It feels so smooth and satisfying to play. Vindi is a little clunky. I think vindi is still the top dog, but herald will always be my favorite :)
Im a pretty new player so i was wondering does pvp give experience and does level matter when playing pvp (im level 45) ? Excellent choice of music btw.
Thanks! The really cool thing about PVP in GW2 is that gear and level literally do not matter at all. It's 100% based on your ability to cook up builds, and your personal skill! Which I love! You can jump in on a level 1 character and have the same stats as me! So jump in and try it out some time
3:20 - your ranger ran off back to home to double team the thief. You're now 2v3. Jumping onto the node way overexposes you. Also their support chrono seems cast both of their time warps (while his team outnumber yours). 3:30 - when going to escape the incoming damage, you ran across the node towards far, where (if necessary) you have backup at your home. Also your necro got bodied in a 1v1 at far. 3:40 - greedy damage, when outnumbered, your teammate just died, and their thief is rotating into mid 3:50 - for the reasons stated above, this decision to go left/right isn't particularly impactful, you chose to go left and you can see the enemy necro at around 1000 range coming in. 4:10 - three players on your team respawns are staggered by 10 seconds. regrouping will suck. 6:00 - truth. 7:00 - EEK! What is that panic dodge??? 10:20 - They have a fresh air tempest. Just farm that loser all game. Fresh Air only good when they aren't being hit. 11:30 - First their elementalist and then their thief forgot how to count two seconds before using their teleport. Ree.
Learned alot. That hammer just rounds up ur ability to do more damage very nicely. More value to revs role as dps/roamer. Staff lets u survive better but overall less damage. Have u tried gs/hammer
I have tried the GS/Hammer combo. Definitely very strong and pumps big damage in teamfights, the GS 4 block is also nice in team fights. Can't go wrong with either IMO GS/Hammer - better in big team fights Dual Swords/Hammer - better at running around the map and quickly securing kills
wow I haven't done spvp since primordial was a thing. Plat is all you need now to get to like top 10?? Is there no more diamond rank or anything higher or did they just scuff the ranking system?
@@Velakor9150 This was made at the very start of the season. The ranks get higher as the season goes on and more people complete placements. Toward the end of the season you need to be high Plat or legend (the rank above plat) to be top 10
@@thehallmonitor4515 I think it's highly dependent on the map. Small maps with important side objectives like skyhammer are all about the team fight. Bigger maps which are dominated by fast roamers can really be played well by a tanky side noder. I think if I had to give a general answer, carrying team fights is probably more likely to win you ranked games. But a strong side noder can definitely win games. Especially if you win outnumbered fights.
Gladly! I like the increased movement speed that herald offers. Rising momentum + the super speed from the elite facet make it possible to get around the map very quickly. Add in the sword 5 teleport and you can cover a large distance in a short time. Feels fun to zoom around the map. The additional CC that herald has over vindicator (elite facet) can turn the tide of a fight and shut down certain classes. The herald heal is a very satisfying skill to use and can be used to disrespect certain classes burst combos. Compared to vindi which must clunkily cycle between 3 healing skills for 10 seconds in order to heal. Also the herald skills just look and sound cool when you use them
You got to try out renegade soon, it's braindead working... ===> •Devastation traitline: 1-3-3 •Salvation traitline: 3-2-2 •Renegade traitline: 1-3-1 Kalla stance + Assassin stance. Berserker amulet/rune of the eagle/relic of zakiros. Sword/shield(or greatsword) + shortbow. [Hammer not needed because shortbow needs here because it's faster for this kind of playstyle and better passive sustain] Sigils of cleansing + sigils of energy
@@drios8809 yeah I've been seeing the French back on Ren again. It looks interesting. I've never been the biggest Ren fan but will definitely try out your build
@@maxu4615 The only few weaknesses are with this build that if you get a lot lf weakness condition on you without having resistance, your damage goes down. And self sustain in general goes down too + when trying it on tankier targets because less outgoing is less incoming. Imo I don't like the way anet is making renegade available for pvp 😅. Because the real problems why it was this long really bad is still mechanically there if they rip this bandage plaster off if it "would" get nerfed.
@drios8809 oh I know dude, but I'm here for the big numbers, like a true zerker enjoyer😎. But yeah anet is holding revs back, just look at how bad the spear was...
0:23 is that all it takes to get high rank in this game just 12-3? Hell I need to jump back into rank if it's not over yet. I've only played 5 of my I think 10 but I won all 5. I tried out WvW and just been doing that since. WvW kind of made me go back to pve a bit to farm better gear. I only need 3 more armor and I'm full purp. I just can't buy runes and stuff as f2p but I'm not about to farm all that. Core war does just fine even missing runes and what not from the AH.
@@aoraijinn the shortbow is good against newer players, and bad against strong players IMO. It lacks defensive skills and can be reflected back at you easily
@@TheOverSoul93 there are a bunch of F2P PVP builds that are actually quite strong! I've considered trying to make an F2P video for revenant... but in order to play revenant you need heart of thorns! So there isn't really an F2P way to play it.
@@homage3 yep, i used to main herald in pvp long time ago ! i struggle to play vndi since its a very squishy build where you have to "tap and go".. If you have any advice on how to play it ill take it ! (sharkadans.8170)
That's a good question, because as a damage dealer the enemy team's job is to shut you down so that you can't deal your damage. If they're doing that, then they are playing well. How you can avoid that is by keeping an eye on your minimap and staying near your team. You can outrun almost anything with your movement speed on herald, so you need to drag people who are chasing you into your team so you can deal with them as a group. Once you have team mates present try to land some CC skills to sway the fight / set up kills.
@@spamwich88 the shirt is from the beach day gem store package. The pants are just some regular pants with dark dye. I think the shoes are the raven sandals. I'm not super big into collecting skins and stuff in this game tbh
dont want be a shit hater but this is a cleare example how this game mode is dead as fuck, back in days i use to be ranked high up to platinum 2 with 1633 and i even get into 150 highers ranks in the leader board is sad how arenat net complete destroy this game mode with shitty spalization release and horrible balance patches.
@@khxweichafe7246 So just to be clear, the only reason I was that high is because it was the 2nd day of the season, and most of the top players hadn't finished their placement matches yet. I believe I'm sitting somewhere near 15 on the board now, which will continue to go down as more people complete their placements.
