Vindicator Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Vindicator. Revenant PvE.


Last Update: December 2023


Overview

The Vindicator is 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 Kurzick Stance abilities can also be used when in danger.

Skill Priority:

  1. Dodge + Spear of Archemorus
  2. Scavenger Burst/Vengeful Hammers when high on energy
  3. Inspiring Reinforcements/Reaver’s Rage for Stability
  4. GS 5 – Sword 4
  5. GS 2/3 – Sword 2/5

Swap Legends when low on energy. Swap Weapons when low on dodges/CDs.

  1. 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!

  2. I went full power offence with berserker gear, scholar runes and all mid talents in invocation and it works

  3. 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!!

  4. 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.
