GW2. WvW Build. Power Vindicator Roaming Build. Revenant World vs World.
Last Update: February 2024
The Power Vindicator is a burst revenant roaming build that maintains its health by its evade uptime while swapping legends to regenerate. With the Salvation traits, there is much more reliable sustain with reduced strike damage, cleansing on dodges and barrier per boon, meaning you can stay in fights longer to deal more sustained damage.
Skill Rotation:
Start in Luxon Stance and precast a Spear of Archemorus then engage with Scavenger Burst into Greatsword 3 or Sword 5, next Greatsword 5 or Sword 3 then dodge to follow through with your burst. Swap to Kurzick Stance to evade with Battle Dance, cleanse conditions with Tree Song, or to prevent counter pressure with the Urn of Saint Viktor. Try to deplete all of your energy then swap stances to gain extra energy from Charged Mists trait.
In Shiro Stance try to conserve energy so you can use the Riposting Shadows to stun break if needed or to do a big burst with the Phase Traversal for quickness. Only use Impossible Odds when combined with your Greatsword 5 or Sword 3 or when about to swap out of Shiro stance.
Always swap between Luxon and Kurzick stance (F3) before entering Shiro stance even if you don’t plan to use any of those skills because it grants extra healing which adds up over time.

Updated Gameplay Salvation Variant:
It’s “good”, but I think Core works better honestly. Not really star tier.
it says “use the leaps in Mallyx” but this doesn’t use demon stance?
If I want to mix some Dragon stats gear for the Salvation build, how much crit chance from the gear should I aim for to crit cap? Will the gear’s crit chance be also different to crit cap for the Devastation build?
The Devastation variant is not using full critical, the Salvation is to compensate the lack of damage, you can miz the stats as you wish, its your call on how much critical you want
What do you think about changing some of the maraduers to dragon for more ferocity?
Sure
With the removal of the chill in the Feb 14 patch – do you still think this is S tier for solo play?
yes just use a different dodge or still enjoy the protection
Yes still very good, just changed to the damage dodge, neither of the other nerfs affected WvW
Is salvation viable or devastation is the way to go?
Salvation stronger now.
Celestial gear is viable?
Not for this build, for celestial check this one: https://guildjen.com/celestial-vindicator-roaming-build/
Hello, what is your opinion with changing invocation to retribution traitline currently? Thanks.
Vindicator with Salvation is stupidly overpowered and any other traitline can work with it, however retribution is gonna make it more bunker so not what I would suggest.
