GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Herald Hammer Open World. Revenant PvE.
Last Update: September 2024
The Power Herald for Open World is a revenant build with an extremely easy but surprisingly effective playstyle. It relies on the passive boon sharing from Facets in the Glint stance and Impossible Odds in Shiro stance to minimize the amount of skill animations you need to do to a minimum, allowing you to pelt enemies from afar with the Hammer auto attack with permanent quickness.
Using Hammer skills like 2, 3, and 5 can give you more damage, but because they cost energy that you want to conserve for your passive boon generation and they don’t give much more damage per action spent, it is often preferred to just spam 1.
While using the Hammer 1, you can rotate through Legend stances without interrupting the auto attack because of their instant animations. To get quickness you must use a skill or combination of Facets that costs at least 6 points of regeneration, putting you into energy degeneration. This means you will need to swap Legend stances to upkeep your quickness, but in doing so you will provide plenty of boons to yourself and allies around you.
Skill Priority:
- Always make sure to face the target and enable your Hammer 1 auto attacks
- Swap Legend Stance before running out of energy
- Upkeep the F2 Facet of Nature Passive
- Channel Impossible Odds in Shiro
- Channel Facet of Strength, Elements, and Darkness (Might, Swiftness, Fury) in Glint
Swap to Greatsword only if you want to do melee damage or to block an attack, but the Hammer 3 is also an evade and the Hammer 4 can give you Aegis to block one attack. Hammer 5 to CC if need be.
