I Played ONLY Revenant for 30 Days; Here's What I learned.
fun fact your "incorrect" weaver build is only 3 traits different from the optimal top dps power weaver build, although the gear and utility skills differ a lot more, funnily enough even the rotation you were doing is close to optimal, top dps does actually just switch between fire and air, it only goes into other attunments during weave self, which well to be fair is the during the opener which is the most important part of the rotation, although you can actually hit almost 90% of benchmark with just fire and air as long as you press weave self even if you don't do the full opener
It was brought to my attention that I made a small mistake in my profit calculation, I only subtracted the larger 10% exchange fee and forgot the 5% listing fee. That puts the profit at a slightly lower 3.2G per day for the 8 one gold envelopes, making it 67.2 Gold over the 21 days. Small error on my part, I always seem to mess up the trading post calculations. I guess I need to tattoo that to the inside of my eyelids.
You should try ranger I think you going to like it
I know I am! I'm about to start my gameplay for Necromancer tomorrow, on Feb 1, and then March will be Ranger. I saved ranger for second to last because it's my second most played class. I turned my Ranger into my WvW Main for quite some time, I really enjoy my Sic 'Em Sniper build and can't wait to try out some new stuff
@ when you try to, keep in mind mace mace untame
Just found your channel through this video and looked at a couple others. I love your style. Probably one of the fastest subs I've ever made. Also I adore elementalist and weaver specifically. If it's not Chrono I'm playing, it's Weaver all day. You definitely want to be moving through the elements rapidly, but you also definitely want to dual-attune to whatever your damage dealing elements are (wind if you're power, earth if condi and both dual attune fire most of the time. Or at least they did before spear. idk the new rotation at all) Also the true power of the ele only comes once you've avatar'd out and really started to master all the elements. LIke knowing that if I attune to water now I can dodge and heal the next attack with sword 2 then if I go into earth I can dodge with 2 and water 4 will be available from the warhorn etc. It's definitely more complicated than some other classes and sometimes that's fun, but at the end of the day the thing holding it back is that for all that work and piano playing, you're still just about average on DPS and generally not considered a good healer and basically have no utility otherwise.
Thank you for the kind words! I suppose that dual attune makes sense considering there's an entire trait for it, the couple times I did it just felt wrong with cooldowns though. Maybe it's because I'm a zerker warrior main, but I instinctively don't like it when everything but Auto-attack is on CD, I always want to find another button to roll my face over. I absolutely can see how the complicated nature can be fun and really satisfying. Knowing how to use all 4 elements skills at the drop of a hat to master a fight is awesome. But yeah, at the end of the day being a mostly average DPS and not much else is really disappointing. Possible hot take but I think the more complicated the class, the higher it should perform in general over all others when played at a top level. Especially in a game like GW2 where there's zero holy trinity.
Selling at the trading post is roughly the same profit as opening them. I think you forgot to take listing and exchange fees into account and you also only show day one numbers which are always at a higher selling rate.
Dangit I always forget the fees, i don't know why. Good catch, thank you. I'll pin a comment whenever I finish work with corrected numbers. As far as the opening numbers, yeah, I can't really predict what they'll do so I always have the market fluctuations disclaimer, and I hope most will understand that. Even if the profit is similar as opening, it's reliable and much simpler than going and maxing your MF and opening them all.
Thank you so much. I was going to completely ignore the Festival this year!! :-)
Everybody loves some easy money and cosmetics 😎
I unlocked catalyst and soon after unlocked the spear towards the end of 2024. Ive been playing GW2 casually since 2012 and 95% of that is on elementalist. Catalyst + spear in open world was an absolute game changer. It feels so good to cast an etching, throw down a jade sphere, level up the etching and boom. blow everything up with style. Really feels like what core staff wanted to be back in the day, or at least what I wanted core staff to be. Dagger dagger, was so fun when I used to do pvp YEARS ago. very high octane gameplay dashing all over the place and surprisingly quite durable when using tempest and water traits. Weaver was/is probably the hardest hurdle. I spent like 10+ years playing elementalist a certain way only to now how to alter that style to account for primary and secondary attunments. usually I just switched into whatever I felt like when I felt like it, but with weaver some planning is needed. I died quite a few times because I'd forget that I couldn't just switch to water 5, but instead had to switch to water primary then water secondary before I could cast a water 5 skill. But once you get the hang of weaver It feels really rewarding to when you get to a point where you can autopilot without having to mentally jugle primary and secondary attunments all the time. Really fun watch. Not gonna lie though, was kind of hoping you'd die or at least get in some extreme peril here or there haha.
Great video thank you!
Very helpful for returnee like me. Thanks for the video man!
Glad it was helpful!
Another thoroughly enjoyable video; I for one like the fact you don't look up the meta builds before playing, it gives you a chance to experience the class and learn the various different skills. More please :)
I'm glad you're still enjoying the series! Thank you
Do people just skip levels 1-79 nowdays?
I've got over 500 tomes of heroics that I could use to level, actively delete my birthday "Boost to X Level" scrolls because I have so many, and have had a couple level 80 boosts from expansions to use, so yeah. Probably half the characters I have on my account currently I never actually went 1-79. Engineer, Mesmer and Necro are the only professions I've never done 1-79 with though. The others are dupes. They were the classes I was the least interested in originally, so when I ended up with spare boost I just chucked 'em at em. I did actually play engineer on a free to play account up to the mid 50's I think for a video series I never finished back and subsequently removed in 2023.
Fun fact about the code. Yes it is that bad. Anet are scared of it. XD
Yeah...that's fair. LOL
As a fresh air tempest ele main, I just press air overload and win :)
Cuidado con romper Records en el juego.. porque esto a ArenaNet no le gusta.
Which profession will be next, I wonder?
I'm starting Necromancer in February, then it'll be Ranger, and finally my main, Warrior. After that I plan on revisiting Guardian/Mesmer for a month since both of those months I only played 1 of the elite specs!
@@syzxgamingxnice, looking forward to it
That's kinda lame. Boost a character, go farm some DLC hero points.... And only after that you started playing core Tyria, that was made to be a levelling playground-kindergarden.
my lvl 17 ele standing at char city buying prov. tokens for several months 😂
Listen, it's a thankless job but those Provisioner's tokens don't buy themselves 😂
Nice work! Love checking out your challenge videos
Thanks!
i want to try every class but only have 1 character slot remaining and no 80 boosts left 😢my dumbass used a second boost on my sylvari cuz i wanted the dyes 😂 i have my main, whose a sylvari reaper, an asura thief who i will make a deadeye in the future, a norn vindicator, and now a charr guardian who im leveling from scratch.
Ahh the dyes for the almighty Fashion meta. I understand. Hang in there! It sounds like you don't have any expansions yet -- if you do ever look to pick them up, consider aiming to get the Deluxe Upgrades, since those give you character slots in addition to the expansion and other bonuses. Janthir Wilds' Deluxe Upgrade is absolutely the best out of all of them, because rather than a bunch of cosmetic stuff, you get a set of infinite gathering tools and glyph selection boxes for them. They are of course 2400 gems rather than 800 for just the slot. Otherwise, if you really really want to play the other professions but aren't looking to spend the money, free to play accounts are the way to go. I personally have a free to play account I started a while back for a challenge I never finished, I started that one through steam so I could separate the two launchers.
Thanks for the great journey.
If you want to try rifle in open world pve, it is great as a side-weapon to either setup stuns for big attacks from your other weapon, or to swap to for recovery if you get low health (since mesmer doesn't have a ton of built in healing). Mirage mesmer can quickly heal themselves and others back up and then jump back in the fight, while chrono mesmer can setup 4 big phantasm stuns - especially good for self-quickness generation via the illusions trait line.
@OKDC pretty similar to the build i use. Pretty solid build.
1. It would take a bit of rebinding to make this work, maybe having (qe) for strafing and (w) for reverse if I am understanding your suggestion correctly. 2. I currently have my dodge set to (c). So you having (e) be strafe is not that strange. 3. I will keep this in mind if I ever want to go all in on the genera. 4. I never thought about editing the UI like that, I will see if there is an add-on that would help with that. 5. I find that I only farm when roaming around the maps, never going out of my way to farm. I will see if I can add it to my daily routine. 6. This is a super important point. I never use level boosters when making a new character since I find myself flailing around in max-level content. 7. This is something I need to work on, when I am in a stressful situation I usually button mash to see if something saves me.
Fresh air tempest is my main for open world stuff. Celestial, infiltration, accuracy, force. Scepter warhorn. Air water tempest
I think that not looking at builds just devalues the whole experiment why deny yourself the knowledge and experience of the most expert players in each class? And I think the tempest segment proves my point since Air has the Fresh Air trait that lets you swap back into air quickly and thus overload again faster. Arcane has Elemental Enchantment which gives you Concentration and 15% reduction to atunement CD. Shouts and summons can be used while you're overloading. Scepter Air 2 and 3 have no animation and can be used while overloading. Warhorn earth 4 is Sand Squall which increases the duration of all boons you have. 30 days with a class and you didn't learn what I did in 1 hour of reading a guide and practcing on the golem. Your main critcism of Tempest is that you can't use skills while overloading, but you can!
Part of the entire process has always been trying to figure it all out on my own to intentionally force myself out of my comfort zone and try to play other professions and learn how to create my own builds and get a better understanding and more patience to do so in the future. Also to get back to having fun in games like this without forcing myself to get perfect builds and study experts like you suggested, because I've done that plenty in the past. Obviously, if the goal was to try and become one of the objectively best players of X Class out there in a month, then I would be benchmarking, studying and pulling builds. But it's not. Heck if I was even trying to get as possibly good as I could even without guides, I would be doing things like golem tests or at least doing more difficult content constantly. The goal is just to have fun on a class I've never played, learn what I can, get better at making builds and just generally winging it in games, and do some wacky/productive challenges along the way.
I'm not saying there's no value in playing how you did, I even do similarly too, leveling my alts to 80 by playing them instead of using all my tomes of knowledge. We're playing games to have fun, and playing how you're playing is fun. I'm not talking about becoming a pro at the class either. What I'm saying is that playing like this does not teach you the class well. It won't show you the tricks and feel of the class that make it fun to play and different from the others beyond the surface mechanics of your F skills. Your goal is to have fun, playing like this is fun, but I think it won't teach you all the fun about a class. Your goal is to learn what you can, playing like this doesn't teach you a lot. Your goal is to get better at making builds, you're not really looking at what makes a good build for that class for starters so you won't really learn much about that I think. Keep playing how you want, fun is what matters in the end. What I want to say is that I belive you can have more fun, and become a better player, if you study the meta builds, see what makes them fun, then cook up your own.
Looks like you've actually come pretty close to some of the meta builds by convergent evolution there... One of the ironies of Weaver is that it's an elite specialisation where the 80/20 rule applies. A large amount of the complexity that Weaver is known for comes from leveraging Weave Self, which requires cycling through all the elements and then squeezing as much damage as you can in the window when you have all of the Weave Self buffs. If you're not using Weave Self, though, you can get most of the output simply by bouncing between your two damage elements (generally fire and air for strike damage, fire and earth for condition damage).
That's great that I got close! Out of any class I figured I wouldn't get close to, Ele was for sure one. Also really glad to know I got a decent effect out of Weaver at least. I have crazy respect for anyone who can pull off those full Weave Self rotations, it seems mental. I really appreciate the insight!

LETS GOOOOO RETURN OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE GW2 SERIES 👑💎
Woop Woop!
Do you have any guide on which hero points to do (easiest) to cap all elite specs?
I don't currently, but this is a great idea!
GW2 Hardcore, mmm interesando reto (mas con una clase que no sabes utilizar) mis felicitaciones.
For the last portion you had 4h 20min… 4:20… I see what you did there 😂
I couldn't believe it when I was editing and did the math on the specifics I was like oh...😂
I really want to give Ele a try but I always fear for my fingers and hands xD
@@notrlvnt same….. Call me crazy, but I play video games to have fun. And carpal tunnel doesn’t sound like fun to me.
@ same and I already have a tendinitis on my right wrist
You should! I've been an ele main for the past 10 years, and honestly it's only Weaver that's carpal tunnel inducing. The other specs are fairly chill, especially Tempest.
I agree with @raine6097 -- Weaver looks absolutely mental to actually perform optimally, but Catalyst and Tempest played pretty similar to most other professions in terms of difficulty I'd say. At least, for the general purpose. I'm not raid parsing over here LOL
I have several Ele builds posted here that use only 1 attunement because I also have hand issues. Earth Ele ua-cam.com/video/QxN4nbLzXds/v-deo.html Air Ele ua-cam.com/video/Nqjc-Vk_HII/v-deo.html Fire Ele ua-cam.com/video/wMKmgmaYjJE/v-deo.html
Guardian - Armorsmith/Chef Warrior - Weaponsmith Ranger - Huntsman/Leatherworker Thief - Jeweler Elementalist - Artificer/Tailor Revenant - Scribe Other than this, my only advice to crafting after 400 towards 500 is to rely on Backpacks for leveling since they always remain Orange(max xp gain).
Do not forget about Jennifer Hale as female Sylvari. Her voice is main reason why I started playing sylvari all those years ago.
Oh no, I can't be a supreme crafter and max out all the possible specs? So, I need to use alts? Meh
Core Warrior for the free to play people.. do they even have access to Secrets of the Obscure to equip the staff?
Well I reckon I misspoke a bit there. Rather I meant for folks who bought SOTO but don't have other expansions for elite specs. Good catch, ty
7:28 for those who want to see build. i'm assuming Greatsword/Shortbow as weapons. Mostly Celestial gear. Revenant is that one class i want to be good, i want to love, because you have to do something "special" to even play the class. i understand, that something "special" is owning HoT expansion. And no matter what i do, it just doesn't work compared to other options. Friend of mine showed me the "trick" with Revenant. You want to do Herald and do Dragon/Demon. What you "want" to do, is enter battle, turn on all the aura's. Then shift to Demon, turn on the Ult aura. And then you get to enjoy being a Super powerful force to be reckoned with until you run out of energy to keep the "embrace of darkness." i likened this build to if you enjoy having the power star in the Super Mario games.
i wish players would stop with this "hardcore" playstyle of "if i die, i delete" UNLESS you've spent hours, days, months already playing the character to have such experience and knowledge playing it. If you want to punish yourself, there are other ways. Like donating to a good charity! Of course most players don't want their wallet to be punished, GW2 has SO MUCH content your punishment could literally be to force yourself to experience content you otherwise wouldn't. Or change what your gear does! Or your punishment could be to outfit a character you have exotic grade "anything" into ascended grade! Also, i was relatively excited to see what you would had thought of the Virtuoso. Only to find out you probably never experienced that elite spec. Your Revenant video got me really happy to sub to your channel, you went through ALL the elite specs along with playing the base spec. You did not do that for the Mesmer, and if i remember correctly, you also went through all the specs with the engineer.
Well, I personally have been doing No Death runs in games since I was playing Dark Souls 1 back in the day. They're something I just enjoy. I agree there's other challenges like that could be imposed, but it sounded fun to go back to for me so I did it As far as the Virtuoso, I definitely hear you. Several people have mentioned the same thing, and while it will be a while, once I finish the other classes I intend to go back and replay Guardian for a month, as well as Mesmer, since those are the only two that I didn't try each elite spec on so far. Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts, and hope to see you on the next one
GW2 is the only mmo that made me play a stealth/thief/rogue type class and reignited my interest with the game. Heck I went and tried every job and thief was the last one I tried- and reluctantly too.
