GUILD WARS 2: The Revenant - Detailed Class Guide [What Profession (Class) Should I Play?]

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Feel free to post below any questions you have about the Revenant 😊

[@mohmo1-728]

does it matter what race you pick for this or any other classes?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

The race you pick doesn't really matter at all! The only differences it makes is comestic and the first part of your Personal Story 😃

"Probably not recommended for beginners" Me, a beginner: Alright this is the one.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Love that! 😂

[@gscgold]

right? lol I played years ago ( start of game actually ) and went back to wow..sick of wow, coming back to gw2 and want to start fresh and this is what I'm going with lol

[@michajozwiak5557]

I'm very ungifted as a player and I enjoy the Revenant very much. I think what it does well compared to some other classes I have tried, is it gives you the ability to kinda sorta ignore some of the mechanics while providing the illusion of doing something. You can build it for very powerful sustain and grind things out at your own pace while staying in the thick of things, which is good for enjoyment. I tried the minionmancer and the summoner elementalist and the problem I had was that necro was very hands-off, while the ele, even when toughened up, takes quite a bit more skill, which I don't seem to have :). So the Revenant, due to all the healing and the powerful upkeep skills, provides a usefully high skill floor for noobs like me.

[@sousuzumi]

@@michajozwiak5557 well, if you have a Necro already and want something powerful and thought that minion Necro is too hands off, you can always turn your Necro into a Reaper and faceroll the game with a hands on approach that includes whacking people with a big ass sword, slowing and freezing everything around you and turning into a big mothafucka with a giant scythe that steals life.

@@gscgold Lol same here. Haven't played in years, but this is the only class I don't already have at max lvl.

[@Nordh_DG]

i love this kind of videos! i have probly seen every single one of your class guides. give a clear picture how the proffesions works and the game play. great videos!

[@HandyHanderson]

I have a soft spot for unconventional use of weapons, so whenever I see a class that straight up chooses to *_YEET_* their melee weapon from a distance, i fall in love. Gonna try out Greathammer Revenant someday, hopefully it's as fun as my Greatsword Mesmer.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

You sure do like yeeting things! 😃 I don't blame you, it's loads of fun

[@joncable4045]

Thanks, I am a returning player to GW. I have been away for 6 years, missed some things. LOL. This video was great.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Haha yes, a lot has changed! I hope you get back in to it and enjoy yourself ☺️

[@joncable4045]

@@HeroicFlamingo I have, opeined 6 years of gifts over 11 characters, and started a Revenant. Great to be back, I was a GW 1 player from day one. Just had life get in the way.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

That's a lot of XP boosts you'll have there 😂 I massively loved GW1 as well so I hope you enjoy your new Revenant 😎

[@ComradeCage]

This was an extremely useful breakdown!! thank you!!

[@HeroicFlamingo]

You're very welcome! 😃

[@dw22509]

Would like to say after getting all but elementalist and engineer elite specializations unlocked and played with, Revenant Renegade is the one I enjoy the most. With the right build he can burn thru just about anything. Obviously, other professions can do this as well or better, but Rev is the one that's the most fun for me. 10 outta 10, would recommend.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

I've been playing a lot of Necro and Warrior the last few months but really been getting in to the Rev in the last week or so 😀 really loving it at the moment!

[@dw22509]

@@HeroicFlamingo would definitely put Necro a my second favorite!

[@Thomasnmi]

And having fun is all that matters Some players forget that

[@simboi771]

Just bought the expansions :D. Time to have fun with a new class

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Enjoy yourself! 😃

[@simboi771]

@@HeroicFlamingo thanks i will :)

[@richardrenaud8449]

ya this was the first profession I played when I started... Not for beginners is an understatement

[@Jadegreif]

Hey, thanks for the guide. That was really helpful and gave a good overview of the class. Just returned to the game and the Revenant didn't exist when I last played. Looks really interesting to play.

[@Toraseishin]

The other day I decided to play my Revenant for the first time in months, and I was confused/saddened to find that the "banshee" sound-effect on "Surge of the Mists" (10:21), "Riposting Shadows" (32:14) and a few other mist/teleport skills is totally gone! No more high-pitched wail that I thought was so cool and added a unique flavor to the class x_x Is this a bug or was it removed intentionally? I can't seem to find any information on this via patchnotes, and I haven't seen any players mention it on the forum...

[@Thomasnmi]

How did you keep your energy at 100%?

[@bohimas]

Love this series! very helpful!

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Thanks man! I appreciate it 😃

"Probably not recommended for beginners" Me, a Noob: Hold my beer.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Love that 😂

[@kyleganse4978]

Wow I want to come back and play just for this class lol

[@HeroicFlamingo]

You should! It's loads of fun 😊

[@KirosenRR]

I really want to know what physique option you used. Can't seem to figure out which one favors heavy armor the best.

[@JoseHernandez-em3rp]

What are your outfits for these videos? I really liked the one for the Warrior Guide on your Chaar.

[@HeroicFlamingo]

They're all outfits you can buy from the gem store but the stock does change so best to look what's available right now 😃 the one on the Warrior guide is the Balthazar's Regalia Outfit!

[@diver-wi9th]

Thank you for the video

[@HeroicFlamingo]

You're very welcome! 😃

[@johnchiara633]

Just started playing this class for a change of pace, and beating the hell out of people with a staff, (like a bo staff) is extremely satisfying, haha

[@derHodrig]

I just started gw2 again (played last back in 2013...) and chosed the revenant because I play solo without friends. GW2 is mainly a group game but i cant always rely on the randoms, so I need a class, which can survive alone in pve and pvp because I also want to play WVW sure the revenant is difficult to handle, but like in TEKKEN you just need to find the correct combos and then you will have less energy problems. Pure thing or the really good thing is you really feel the specializations. without specials i thought i chose the wrong class, no high dmg less health regen... but as i chose the specials damn son.... this class is thick....! Its a fast class, you really need to know what your abilities do and in when to use it. If you handle some spells wrong, your energy is at zero and your potential attack dmg is much reduced. Can I recommend the revenant? Yes, but only if you want to learn multiple move sets. Its a dynamic class, which never tires me.

[@Thomasnmi]

It is nice that there is a profession that is very solo friendly. All the GW2 professions can be solved to some extent, but this one works well for solo play

[@garregalen83]

Well done :)

[@shipmate3577]

what armor is that?!? It's awesome

[@brians91]

What class was that in the background with the scythe??

[@lynsaanael]

reaper (necromancer's elite spec). it's more of a profession mechanic than a real weapon

[@turkxgaming1001]

Is there good build like what specialists to use until I unlock the elite specialisation

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Hey man, give this build a go as it breaks down the stages of leveling before you get the elite spec 😃 metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Revenant_-_Leveling_Revenant

[@synclimatic7800]

Is there any good alternative for diviner trinket? I dont have lw4 so i cant craft those trinket

[@angruspideru]

this is funny how they messed up bg images of the spec tree and they stick to it even now (for example dwarf tree with assassin image, etc) :D

[@mend0kuse101]

what armor/outfit is that?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

In this video, I am using the "Lunatic Guard" outfit and the dyes are Shadow Abyss & Black Cherry ☺️

@@HeroicFlamingo is that an outfit that cycles in the store? Looks amazing.

[@TOMAR2310]

Shortbow weapon?

[@HeroicFlamingo]

Hey man 😊 the shortbow weapon requires the Renegade elite specialization which I have done a separate video on 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqvdhJx4n8SAZ7s

yeaaaa my bad , new to game and still learning profession

[@HeroicFlamingo]

No problem 😊 it takes a while to learn all the ins out outs of a game like this 😂 I hope you're enjoying it so far!
