Usage

Important Facts

  1. Ferocious Aggression makes Build:Revenant - Core Power (15) Fury even more valuable and thus should most act of damage be done while having it on top of critical chance.
  2. Build:Revenant - Core Power (16)Contained Temper extra energy for stunbreaking can make a great deal of a difference, since CCs do not deal damage it can be beneficial to take the hit when locked in a legend.
  3. Build:Revenant - Core Power (17)Song of the Mists assists in both damage and sustain, use legend swap in range of many targets as possible to increase the effect accordingly to the situation.
  4. Build:Revenant - Core Power (18)Versed in Stone makes Build:Revenant - Core Power (19)Rite of the Great Dwarf halves all damage, using it at the right time or in team fights can waste a lot of cooldowns for the opponents.
  5. Build:Revenant - Core Power (20)Aggressive Agility is extremely useful for chewing through opponents that rely on conditions to sustain.
  6. Build:Revenant - Core Power (21)Dance of Death will double the healing of 24px Battle Scars when below 50% health which can in some fights mean you'll survive better if you keep attacks going even while kitting.


Build:Revenant - Core Power (22)Legendary Dwarf Stance

  1. Build:Revenant - Core Power (23)Soothing Stone should only be used under condition pressure since much of the Legendary Dwarf Stance mechanics allows you to tank a lot of it at once while Build:Revenant - Core Power (24) Stability is also abundant in an emergency if swapping to Legendary Dwarf Stance, if in a rush it can be cast with Build:Revenant - Core Power (25) Quickness if swapping legends shortly after initiating.
  2. Build:Revenant - Core Power (26)Inspiring Reinforcement to be used offensively before bursting/finishing or defensively to secure sustain skills or reduce power damage.
  3. Build:Revenant - Core Power (27)Forced Engagement is mainly used offensively in various ways but can also be used defensively.
  4. Build:Revenant - Core Power (28)Vengeful Hammers is a quick instant damage reduction with it's healing effectiveness increases the more targets being hit. Great to also use up Build:Revenant - Core Power (29)Enchanted Daggers or 24px Battle Scars as they become Build:Revenant - Core Power (30) Unblockable and quickly delivered.
  5. Build:Revenant - Core Power (31)Rite of the Great Dwarf is best used if either Build:Revenant - Core Power (32)Song of the Mists has been effectively as one with Barrier,Build:Revenant - Core Power (33) Stability and Build:Revenant - Core Power (34) Weakness will greatly reduce damage while the other with Build:Revenant - Core Power (35) Quickness greatly increases the chances of fully using the skill in all sort of situations. Build:Revenant - Core Power (36)Phase Traversal has great synergy with this skill for team support or easily achieve peak efficiency as firstly mentioned.


Build:Revenant - Core Power (37)Legendary Assassin Stance

  1. Build:Revenant - Core Power (38)Enchanted Daggers has many uses as a Life Steal which can go through many utilities that aren't blocks/invulnerabilities, however Build:Revenant - Core Power (39) Poison can drastically reduce it's effectiveness.
  2. Build:Revenant - Core Power (40)Riposting Shadows is great for kitting but should always come after a normal evade and not before for the endurance restoration. It's predictable timing can be detrimental and so shouldn't be carelessly used, however willingly being CC'd brings forth benefits from Build:Revenant - Core Power (41)Contained Temper as well as the added Build:Revenant - Core Power (42) Resistance can free you out of situations like inside a Build:Revenant - Core Power (43)Spectral Ring. Using it for the sake of using up energy or right before a legend swap is also good.
  3. Build:Revenant - Core Power (44)Phase Traversal great mobility skill that can open unusual opportunities with it's 2 Build:Revenant - Core Power (45) Unblockable hits and Build:Revenant - Core Power (46) Quickness. The final hit of this skill can be useful to remove Build:Revenant - Core Power (47) Blind and setup a burst. Players typically dodge out of habit whenever they see the skill used, great for baiting.
  4. Build:Revenant - Core Power (48)Impossible Odds has various high risk high reward combos but shouldn't be used for it's movement as it is still affected by conditions, saving up for anything such as Build:Revenant - Core Power (49)Riposting Shadows is objectively better.
  5. Build:Revenant - Core Power (50)Jade Winds while expensive can really shift team fights around if you aren't focused on and being able to restore energy with Build:Revenant - Core Power (51)Ancient Echo makes it really accessible and useful with Build:Revenant - Core Power (52) Unblockable, it's preferable to have a legend swap before using it still as it leaves you vulnerable. If in combat and full of energy, Build:Revenant - Core Power (53)Phase Traversal can be paired with it as a surprise, it's AoE has also a great reach through walls to which on certain maps can catch opponents off guard. Finally, the skill is so visually telegraphed that players can dodge instinctively by default which you can stow your weapons after as a fake out without wasting energy.


Sword/Sword

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

  1. Build:Revenant - Core Power (54)Preparation Thrust combined Build:Revenant - Core Power (55) Quickness with Build:Revenant - Core Power (56)Impossible Odds can result in a lot of damage.
  2. Build:Revenant - Core Power (57)Chilling Isolation does great damage on a short CD without any setup, best used with Build:Revenant - Core Power (58)Phase Traversal.
  3. Build:Revenant - Core Power (59)Unrelenting Assault can be used for evading telegraphed attacks or dealing great damage on lone targets, Build:Revenant - Core Power (60)Impossible Odds almost doubles damage at a higher energy cost. Build:Revenant - Core Power (61) Resistance granted from the skill makes it extremely well suited for targets that relies on conditions to mitigate damage.
  4. Build:Revenant - Core Power (62)Shackling Wave is versatile all around with 24px Battle Scars for sustain, as you may use it defensively after stunbreak with Build:Revenant - Core Power (63)Riposting Shadows then use it from a safe distance with the added Build:Revenant - Core Power (64) Fury/Build:Revenant - Core Power (65) Immobilize or offensively with Build:Revenant - Core Power (66) Quickness to get rid of Build:Revenant - Core Power (67) Blind/Build:Revenant - Core Power (68) Aegis followed by any other skills that deals damage with the added Build:Revenant - Core Power (69) Vulnerability
  5. Build:Revenant - Core Power (70)Deathstrike is burst skill that has several benefits, one being Build:Revenant - Core Power (71) Resistance allowing you to completely ignore any conditions to deliver a powerful hit but the Build:Revenant - Core Power (72) Fury makes sure that your chances are better while maximizing damage from Ferocious Aggression, it also pairs perfectly with Build:Revenant - Core Power (73)Phase Traversal if used last by covering a large distance with 2 Build:Revenant - Core Power (74) Unblockable and Build:Revenant - Core Power (75) Quickness that makes it really hard to anticipate by reaction.


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. Build:Revenant - Core Power (76)Rapid Swipe is still a decent cleave with Build:Revenant - Core Power (77)Impossible Odds and Build:Revenant - Core Power (78) Quickness, healing you and others around in the process.
  2. Build:Revenant - Core Power (79)Mender's Rebuke fairly good damage dealer while also mitigating damage on top of all the other Build:Revenant - Core Power (80) Weakness.
  3. Build:Revenant - Core Power (81)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. Build:Revenant - Core Power (82)Renewing Wave is the fallback skill in case of extreme condition pressure before having to rely on Build:Revenant - Core Power (83)Soothing Stone, it can be secured more easily with Build:Revenant - Core Power (84) Stability or Build:Revenant - Core Power (85) Quickness. Sigils contribute greatly at increasing the chances of removing important conditions and since the skill is a blast, Build:Revenant - Core Power (86)Planar Protection can also Build:Revenant - Core Power (87) Blind for extra sustain while recovering or kitting after using any heal skills.
  5. Build:Revenant - Core Power (88)Surge of the Mists is a great interrupt on resurrects or kitting tool to avoid damage, however it's pattern is predictable like Build:Revenant - Core Power (89)Riposting Shadows therefor having legend swap available is recommended. As it is a multi-cc, it can go through single stacks of Build:Revenant - Core Power (90) Stability with ease, making those that pulse only once per second vulnerable, skill such as Build:Revenant - Core Power (91)Inspiring Reinforcement or Build:Revenant - Core Power (92)Lich Form.
