I started running this build a few days ago, and I will say I enjoy it, no longer having do armor/Template switch from Alac to Boon in WvW and Fractals, one set of armor to rule them all!
So if ya want celestial stats gear ,The very easiest are : Bladed armor - airship parts and gold (easy to farm) (Only chest piece requires but its 100% certain in tier 4 night meta) and Bjora have easy ascendead trinket and ring with selectable stats (requiring a day of farm specially if you can unlock all chests and bit more karma witch most people have anyway 50k each :) . You can also exchange crystals for other living world 4 currencies and go get their ascended gear with selectable stats , they require additionaly Volitalie magic :) I play clestial renegade and its fun as heck :P
Only recently got back into GW2 after a 2 year hiatus, and playing my Rev again has been really fun. I'm never strongly considered Celestial stats, but this looks great. Looking forward to trying it out.
@vallun Doesn't even have to be "One build for all". Even if you just did a series breaking down the mechanics of each profession and its elites in the same way - Describing and demonstrating builds, encounters and scenarios in the diff game modes it would still be really educational.
@@Full_metal_bae Well, the entire point if this guide is that it's One Build for All game modes. That's why I want and others want it. What you are describing is something Vallun has already done. Just search his video history. He has a video exactly about that :)
Celestial Rev is so good, been playing this ever since they gave celestial more stats. I use coruption - devestation (333) - herald most the time with tormenting runes (for heal on applying torment) and torment sigil, which gets you to 100% torment duration. I dont use the mace, but sword + axe instead. The Mallyx elite pulses more 2 more torment when you use a skill with energy (like sword 2) and chill also applies torment when traited (skill 2 applies chill). I also like to make use of healing power more by making each demon stance skill grant 3+sec resistance and having 500 heal a second while you have that applied. This build is so crazy that you can just stand at a champ, activate demon elite, press sword 2 on cd and autoattack and just not die. Demon stance profession skill cleanses all your conditions every 20 sec btw.
can i just say vallun the effort you put into these videos and the quality is top notch. Thanks for being this good for the community when it comes to literally anything and everything : ) also i need to know what the reference is on the bottom left 'so many words', after i saw it on your vid i looked everywhere and couldnt find what it was about. Please tell ;D.
Build seems awesome! Though I'm a long way from being able to get my hands on Celestial gear and sadly the game will have likely rebalanced with the new expansion by the time I do, yes I move that slowly, I haven't even reached Path of Fire yet hehe.
Celestial is probably more obtainable than you realize, and the new expansion is still 6 months away. Rings, Trinkets, and amulet can be bought at the laurel vendor (total of like 80 globs and 11 gold I think?)
Lol, you sound like me, maybe. I've been playing since GW2 came out and I still don't have any Legendary... even on my Necro I just started trying Scourge!
I run dwarf/glint on this build when I am small scale roaming and we need stab/I need more survivability. The swap skill also does more damage with dwarf than shiro.
OMG, you made a cele rev, love it =) . I'm literally LOL . You beautiful devious person you, hehe =). Gonna be making this, thank you =). Been a while I've been wanting to make a toon with celestial stats. Kept thinking it'd be an ele, but yeah, glint/ren switching is much better, for boons, self-sustain, etc.
Today i switched from Trailblazer renegade to boon herald at first i thought i would miss the runes of Tormenting but sustain with this build seems pretty decent so far.
I use the Renegade build but changed a few things. I use Superior Rune of the Eagle on my armor, Sigil of Strength and Sigil of Leeching on both the mace axe and short bow and I chose Renegade 2 2 1. Change to 2 2 3 in groups. I also kept Invocation's 3rd trait line as 1 instead of changing it to 2 because I found it does more damage over all and the dual magic explosion looks great. I also chose short bow over staff because it has great status damage, especially in a status build. It also allows for much more diverse gameplay then just melee. I already have an only melee build on my Berserker dual axe greatsword build. Staff is the most boring weapon for Revenants lol. Great build template, probably would have kept playing with a warrior power build with dual swords and missed out on TONES of status damage. I recently came back to the game, never got into Revenant, I always thought it was a less damage dealing warrior with magic but less fun the Guardian. I never understood the class. It's all about that status damage yall!
This version of the Herald feels week in conquest compared to your double sword herald,, however the PvE and wvw parts of the video helped me a lot ty.
I've heard people say Mesmer is the most "guild wars" class because you don't see it in another fantasy games. I don't really agree, Mesmer is a lot like an Everquest Enchanter or an Illusionist in D&D. Now, Revenant, THAT is an original and awesome design.
Hey Vallun, I'm recently returning to the game and really enjoying Herald and Renegade Celestial. That said I feel at a disadvantage picking ones rune build over the other. Is there a good inbetween option between durability/tormenting or is dura solid for both herald and Rene celestial builds? Thank you for the guidance!
Vet player here, and thought about giving this a try and very confused. Pulled this on a golem to test damage and it caps out at just over 5k damage on the golems. Tried it in WvW since that seemed off and I can't cap anything because I don't output enough damage. Not sure what is going on with the build that could cause issues.
I use legendary dragon and tablet to just try and heal/support but I get melted before I can usually do a single rotation, I've got 445k healing in a match, probably from revive heals. But my survivability isn't good enough. Might just try and learn druid or guardian to get my heal fix... dps I just do assassin/demon and have some success by trying to back cap and 1v1. Thanks for the guide, gonna test it out soon.
Years ago I made a heavy armor set of Celestial ascended, can't remember why because Celestial was not good anymore, no one was running it. I never ended up changing the stats on it either because it took so damn long to make, figured I'd just let it sit in the bank. Lo and behold years later Vallun posts videos on two heavy armor classes (rev and guard) with Celestial builds... Now who's laughing... mwuahahaha!
would you recommend this setup with leadership and celestial Mace/axe over the antitoxin and viper Mace/axe from your WvW video? ( I mainly want the celestial rev for WvW, which I am pretty new in, but maybe also the other content) I am asking since the WvW video is much older. Great video though I am currently working on my celestial revenant and looking forward to try it out
Vallun, what infusions would you suggest putting in the infusion slots for armor, weps, etc.......power, condi, toughness, etc. for this hybrid build? I primarily do WvW so this question would be specific to a roam and small roam grps type hybrid build. Thanks. Also, the WvW roaming video for this hybrid build is outdated meaning in that video you are using Antitoxin Runes vs this current build using Leadership Runes, one sigil difference, and traits changes. So should I go with this current version for WvW roaming/small grp roaming or go with the 2020 Fallen Angel Rev version? At any rate, thanks for the time you have long put into these videos, Vallun.
@@Vallun I added another question as it pertains to going with this current build for WvW roaming/small grp roaming or go with the 2020 version? Thank Sir, very much.
@@eddiebulls7851 if you are only planning on WvW, the antitoxin rune feels better to me, but nothing else should be different between the two as far as i remember. I think i put an energy sigil on my shield now because the extra sustain is too valuable, so yea go antitoxin and energy and everything else same
How viable is this build for soloing hard content (bounties, etc) I'm worried that the build will be jack-of-all-trades, but it'll do subpar in fractal (either as dps or alac supp) and unable to solo things with ease. Thanks for the vid and I hope you understand my concerns!
i actually run the cele alac ren version all the time in fractals now, i really like it much better than the diviner version, cant say ive solod bounties on it because i focused more on teamplay with the boon support, but i know it would be able to survive well against most though not sure if it would be able to make the bounty timers
Hey Vallun, would you be willing to update this build now that swap sigils don't work on legend swapping anymore, as well as the addition of Quickness to Herald?
Would this build be possible to do from a fresh boosted Revenant, if so what would i choose for skills before i am able to build up the specialization into Herald?
is this build still good? mainly the pve part for raids,dungeons,fractals etc. am new in gw2 and looking for a good pve build but can’t really find one.
i swapped your rune suggestion to rune of tormenting I start with herald then swap to demon and pop embrace the darkness. it just melts away HP coupled with a staff and i have no issues in PVE.
how viable is this build in pvp ive been using the roamer power build but im looking for something els i can swap to for sitsuations where support is more needed
In the video I see you gain stability, but I can not see how that is done. That is the only thing I am missing from this build as I can dodge and use blind on Glint, but have no stability that I can see :( Thank you for awesome build
@@AEAYOSHTON lol. Okay, there was an update removing the on-swap sigils to proc on swapping legends. But they patched it so it works again. So this build works as intended again. I hope it's clear.
Use torment if you are going full cdps.. in that case might as well use viper. Unless you use concentration food but still you will neither be full alac nor full cdps in raids*/strikes/fractals.
@@Vallun thanks for the reply! also, just a follow up question, do you also use sigil of energy and cleansing on your staff for alacren? or what do you think of replacing cleansing with concentration? It will be my first alacren build for fracs(or raids) as well and I'm not sure if staff will be used often enough to get that +10% boon duration, or if it will solely be used as a defensive weapon hence cleansing would be better
@@klausf9810 won't really matter much, you will use the staff either to survive or to CC for alacren, so either put on more survivability, or put on sigils that will help you CC harder like hydromancy for the extra chill
as i said, the gear can be obtained as exotics from the boxes you get from pvp and WvW reward tracks, and the trinkets can be easily obtained by berry farming.
this is kinda weird but since the patch hit I actually put together full cele renegade instead with divinity/aristocracy invo/retri/ rene but was sad at the performance of retribution after the nerfs and change of minor trait. but I couldnt figure out how to make it work within itself without weakness spam.
@@Vallun ok thanks. I just miss leadership rune for this build necaude you need to be at least level ~60 in WvW, is there a faster way to get them, or do you recommand me to get them by this way?
I bet there are players out there today who still use exotic dungeon gear they earned at game release in 2012. ^_^ Hahah! You can never be late in gw2!
Vallun, level 71 now (Rev). I used your build (without the Herald) but what do I add now as the third line until i hit 80? Also, I keep seeing "Resistance" heals you for xxx amount... But I dont know why
@@Vallun nope, it didnt show up until last night, when I unlocked the third spec line -- Invocation (and hit 71). So, my question was, what third line? You got a little fixated on the last part.
@@mew4080 anything you want, leveling should be easy no matter what you build, but the final build needs herald. Devastation perhaps with the vulnerability and lifesteal which are hybrid as well
Tanks! I waiting so much, i'm tryng power herald and power renegade, but i think i'm slower... Becouse i never winner x1 1x2 ... i now the time is absolutely all.
@@runimcomingforyou.4505 Oct 4 balance patch notes should be released today but the latest stream did indicate that Legend swap should activate weapon swap sigils again. With Quadra swap coming back, this build should become viable again.
Hey, i was wondering so i wanted to ask, but dont you have any trouble making it into high level fractals groups with condi alacrity renegade ? Since as you heavly rely on Malyx & Corruption for damage, you cant afford swapping to Dwarf for stability & taunt without loosing a ton of it, and cant provide ferocity with assassin's presence
i pug all the time, most groups only care that you provide alacrity, CC, and do your role. If your group specifically wants stability from you, then just suffer the damage loss to get it, at the end of the day no one will say anything if the alacrity dps is low, especially if youre giving them stability and alacrity
Is it a setting thing or did Anet change the "tick" damage effect of condition damage? In my game it doesn't show the damage with the condition on the side as one "tick" anymore. it just shows rapid damage numbers. i hope I'm making sense. lol
Lost me at 4:30. As soon as I have to start changing set ups and tinkering with templates, it's a deal breaker. Having to remember what template goes with what mode I'm playing is no fun.
it automatically changes, all you need to do is go into that game mode, go into the template you want, then next time you enter it will go back to that same one
I'll save this video for next year when I understand half of what you said.
Do you understand it now? We need answers!
Your time is due.
i fail at wvw massively, but watching wvw with chill music relaxes me very much
for people that cant get the rune of leadership yet a good alternative is Rune of the traveller or Rune of the Revenant :), great guide as always val

Is there a budget set I could buy if I don't have acended gear? Like exotic gear I could buy off the trading post.
as i said, the gear can be obtained as exotics from the boxes you get from pvp and WvW reward tracks, and the trinkets can be easily obtained by berry farming.
@@Vallun does it matter which reward tracks?
this is kinda weird but since the patch hit I actually put together full cele renegade instead with divinity/aristocracy invo/retri/ rene but was sad at the performance of retribution after the nerfs and change of minor trait. but I couldnt figure out how to make it work within itself without weakness spam.
Has geomancy sigil been nerfed ? It know inflict bleeding when you hit ennemy after a weapon swap :/ is it still good ?
yes its good, and even if it has been nerfed it provides good cover conditions since i dont get much bleed on this build
@@Vallun ok thanks. I just miss leadership rune for this build necaude you need to be at least level ~60 in WvW, is there a faster way to get them, or do you recommand me to get them by this way?
@@Vallun or Can I replace them by somerhing else ?
@@AgoniX44 anything with boon duration or condi cleanse i used to use antitoxin
@@Vallun ok thanks, but I still should get leadership rune through WvW ?
are there some good alternate runes?
try traveler, its high boon duration and cheap
IS it late to start playing gw2 ? I used to play ffxiv
nope, the game has been at its max power level for years, players have only been getting better at the game rather than better gear
I bet there are players out there today who still use exotic dungeon gear they earned at game release in 2012. ^_^
Hahah! You can never be late in gw2!
Just getting back into the game since vanilla, is this post nerf or w/e it was that i keep hearing about?
Yeah the post nerf refers to the mass damage reduction on all classes in pvp. This is after that.
can u post this build plz i would like to see it on paper
How do you get the number cool down times on your skills?
There's a box you can check in options
@@reaverkai Thank you. I went searching through options after watching this and found it. Makes such a difference.
Do you find yourself missing the battle scars line? I know offense is best defense but i like the sustain
battle scars is only really good if you can keep putting out vulnerability, which i dont see much of in this build
why are we putting weapon swapping sigils on our weapons for the boon herald and you are not swapping weapons?
legend swapping is the same effect as weapon swapping, essentially forcing the same sigils to swap instead of different ones
Still viable in march -23?
What legendaries to run?
Vallun, level 71 now (Rev). I used your build (without the Herald) but what do I add now as the third line until i hit 80? Also, I keep seeing "Resistance" heals you for xxx amount... But I dont know why
you took the wrong trait in corruption
@@Vallun nope, it didnt show up until last night, when I unlocked the third spec line -- Invocation (and hit 71). So, my question was, what third line? You got a little fixated on the last part.
@@Vallun "resistance" happens when I switch Legends (I think it's called).
But it heals nicely
@@mew4080 anything you want, leveling should be easy no matter what you build, but the final build needs herald. Devastation perhaps with the vulnerability and lifesteal which are hybrid as well
@@Vallun Thanks sir
anyone knows what sigils to take now that the legendary swap doesnt count anymore as weapon swap?
on crit like torment and earth
@@Vallun thx!
Tanks! I waiting so much, i'm tryng power herald and power renegade, but i think i'm slower... Becouse i never winner x1 1x2 ... i now the time is absolutely all.
you go girl!
hey bro I cant find Krait Obelisk Shard (hero challenge) need some help
ask to join someone else's home instance that has it
@@Vallun thnks a lot man!
@@Vallun ey broo. can you suggest an alternative for superior rune of leadership?
@@jorgesv3101 pack, durability, or antitoxin
thanks a lot man!
Sigil on Legend Swap is back BAYBEE!!! ruclips.net/video/DCWxA23RdQA/видео.html
Pretty sure that will bring this build back into relevancy/
So is this build still good to go or maybe some twicks still needed?
@@runimcomingforyou.4505 Oct 4 balance patch notes should be released today but the latest stream did indicate that Legend swap should activate weapon swap sigils again. With Quadra swap coming back, this build should become viable again.
@@doom8294 ty
Could you do one on thief plzzz
Hey, i was wondering so i wanted to ask, but dont you have any trouble making it into high level fractals groups with condi alacrity renegade ? Since as you heavly rely on Malyx & Corruption for damage, you cant afford swapping to Dwarf for stability & taunt without loosing a ton of it, and cant provide ferocity with assassin's presence
i pug all the time, most groups only care that you provide alacrity, CC, and do your role. If your group specifically wants stability from you, then just suffer the damage loss to get it, at the end of the day no one will say anything if the alacrity dps is low, especially if youre giving them stability and alacrity
How do i look up the build. There's no linky.
copy paste the chat code (the brackets) into game
Is it a setting thing or did Anet change the "tick" damage effect of condition damage? In my game it doesn't show the damage with the condition on the side as one "tick" anymore. it just shows rapid damage numbers. i hope I'm making sense. lol
yes you need to look for the option simple condition floaters its in the general user interface options
@@Vallun thank you so much. as usual, you very helpful. love you content btw.
Is this still viable today?
what about PvE condition build o.o?
Lost me at 4:30. As soon as I have to start changing set ups and tinkering with templates, it's a deal breaker. Having to remember what template goes with what mode I'm playing is no fun.
it automatically changes, all you need to do is go into that game mode, go into the template you want, then next time you enter it will go back to that same one
background music makes it hard to concentrate on what your talking about.
do you get more stances at 80? i have dwarf centaur demon and assassin?
Yeah, you need HoT and PoF to unlock the other two elite specs.. each has it's own stance.
Hi there. Is revenant better than mesmer in damage? I dont know if to play revenant or mesmer..
How to get celestial armor?
What about Rune of divinity?
its ok, its a bit more selfish while leadership is more team support
