GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Vindicator Open World. Revenant PvE.
Last Update: September 2024
The Power Vindicator for Open World is a revenant build that has a risky playstyle that uses its dodges offensively, but enemies will take extreme burst damage with the many damage modifiers this build has. It survives by constantly hitting enemies and stealing life from them due to Vulnerability, and the alliance stance can be swapped to the blue Kurzick Stance abilities to heal and cleanse yourself when in danger.
The sword and greatsword both provide similar effects of mobility and damage, but with two sets of these cooldowns you can play very aggressively to chain combos between each weapon set. Before engaging, use the Scavenger Burst from the Luxon stance to get quickness and make the combo much more fluid. Use dodges in between your cooldowns to fill the gaps and to maintain the pressure, but also just to give yourself more time to think what skill to use next while managing your energy.
Skill Priority:
- Dodge + Spear of Archemorus
- Scavenger Burst/Vengeful Hammers when high on energy
- Inspiring Reinforcements/Reaver’s Rage for Stability
- GS 5 – Sword 4
- GS 2/3 – Sword 2/5
Swap Legends when low on energy. Swap Weapons when low on dodges/CDs.

Which build is correct, the linked build or the images of the build. For example, on the build link you use 1-2-3. 2-2-3. 2-3-2 but the build images show 1-1-3, 2-2-3, 2-3-2. Did my import go wrong or was there an update and one or the other was overlooked when changed? Anyway love the website, thanks for the info!
It’s fixed now
I went full power offence with berserker gear, scholar runes and all mid talents in invocation and it works
Hi, the video shows a different trait line than this page. Wich one is the best in your opinion?
How about staff for secondary weapon for the breakbar?
Also… I don’t think having two sigils with ‘on swapping weapon’ actually works…?
Any of the stacking bonus on kill, on swapping etc, pretty sure only one of the sigils has effect. If it does work then that changes my Tempest build!!
I use sigil of stamina instead of energy which is effective for mobs in SotO. Each kill refills your stamina bar allowing you to spam death drop most of the time; and its so much fun.
Is there an updated version of a open world build ?
This build is up to date
