GW2. Power Vindicator PvP Build. DPS Revenant PvP. Duelist Revenant PvP.
The Power Vindicator is a DPS/Duelist revenant PvP build with great team utility from the Alliance stance and aggression/mobility from the Shiro Stance. The momentum it gains from converting dodges into damage allows it to play aggressively or to counter pressure in melee range while under attack so it is always progressing the kill.
The Salvation trait line provides a passive barrier per boon and cleansing when using a dodge, giving you plenty of sustain to survive alone. Keeping up your rotation of dodges and evades when under pressure should also help you to survive. Prioritize using Battle Dance in the Kurzick stance, Riposting Shadows in Shiro stance, and Greatsword 4 or Sword 3 in between your dodges when you’re under pressure. Also always try to swap between your Alliance stance legends (F3) even when you aren’t going to use the other skills before swapping out because swapping legend stances gives you healing and regeneration to maintain your sustain. When you can survive using these cooldowns and dodges on an enemy, you will be able to pressure out their cooldowns and finish them off.
Basic Combos
Alliance Start (safer)
- Spear of Archemorus > Scavenger Burst > Greatsword 3 > 5 + F3 > Legend Swap
- Dodge + Impossible Odds > Weapon Swap > Sword 2 > 4 > 5 > 3
Shiro Start (more aggressive)
- Phase Traversal > Sword 2 > Dodge > F2 > 3 + Impossible Odds > 4 + Legend Swap
- Sword 5 > Weapon Swap > Reaver’s Rage > F3 > Greatsword 2 > 5 > 3
These combos will inevitably be interrupted or require some changes to adapt to the situation. Always be patient and let your energy get above 50% before going for an engagement so that you will have enough resources and momentum to secure the kill. If your energy is running low and the fight is not over yet, prioritize only using the Sword 2/3 or the Greatsword 2/3 and saving the rest of your energy until you can perform your next combo. Also avoid using Impossible Odds unless you have plenty of energy, and even then prefer to only toggle it on for Greatsword 5 and Sword 3.

Any changes we should make to account for the changes since this was first posted?
Also if we go with Assassin’s stance and Vicious Reprisal how will we get resolution to benefit from the trait? Should we also swap Dwarven Battler Training to Resolute Evasion?
what if devastation build ill change the 2 swords into shortbow?
