Edit: Tested after the nerfs to greatsword 1 and greatsword 2 on Sept 26th 2023, the build still did 26-29k dps in "pure damage" mode, and 22-26k dps in "quickness" mode after the nerfs. Still viable if you wish to use it!
Hey Mukluk, glad to know the build is not dead. But I was just wondering, do you have a Low Intensity Vindicator too?
@@pedrorevolledo7679 Yep, heres a link, with a pinned comment there also: ruclips.net/video/P-5gEnDx4eE/видео.html
Thanks! @@MuklukRUclips
Thanks for the updated LI build! Hope to see more for the other classes :)
I love LI builds!! this is great, going to share it in a few places!
I love to see these and hope we eventually see LI builds for every spec in the game.
Maybe consider a LI playlist for each profession?
Hey Muk, nice guide! Happy to see you cover one of my favourite specs. I'd like to touch on a couple important notes, both for the low intensity and the meta build since they can be very useful.
For the LI dps build, you'll want to keep the F2 active as much as possible, as this will provide you an extra 5% dps from the trait, as well as lifesteal for yourself and allies when on Shiro. Try to avoid using the road or taunt, as these take away from available energy for hammers, which gives 15% damage boost while active.
For the support build I'd like to touch on the main reasons for upgrading to Glint as soon as possible. As a support you're expected to do more than simply quickness, and Glint gives you access to far greater boon uptimes, as well as fury, might, swiftness, protection and regen, all in a 600 radius, as well as a damage boost from burst of strength which can be carried over to Shiro. Glint also helps the alacrity provider by passively granting 20% extra boon duration, and 3 second boon extension. While this LI build is great for learning, it misses so much in terms of support potential for herald.
That said this is an amazing guide for those looking to get into herald in SotO, and I highly recommend this spec to anyone looking to play a dps support.
I'm glad to see that low intensity builds aren't completely dead. I got back into the game because of LI builds.
This was so much easier to understand than the Signet build- though that one is fantastic.. this is more my style for sure. LI allows me to just have fun and not worry about missing my rotation.
"More brain wrinkles to spare" ... Ok, this caught me off guard 😀
Perfect guide for an Li build! Another advise: try to not only doubletap f2 - try to keep it active too for the whole time!
While it may need more upkeep you have more benefits from it plus your legend is always ready before you run out of energy
Dwarf gives a flat 10% dmg reduction on top of protection which helps healers immensely and shiro gives with life steal a bit more dps for the whole group!
And you can still doubletap if you need stability or boon strip!
Its a bonus without any drawbacks 😊
is the build usable for noob in open world?
@@creestee08 you mean in general or with this addition?
In both cases - yes
For the first one its just a case of being melee all the time
But thats more a convenience topic instead of an issue of the whole build
For the second its just one button more to press and leave it
Its just necessary to check it from time to time (especially if energy runs out before the legend swap happens but even then its no problem - just activate it then again 😎
Finest video editor on Earth , true and real .
I am so glad you made this video. I played GW2 years ago and returned very recently. I had only played reaper and renegade previously. While I still play them I wanted to try something else and started a second revenant to try herald of vindicator as I bought EOD on return. Once I leveled up to add a specialization, I found Glint to be baffling and hard on the finger joints. As a result I basically stopped playing herald.. Since I already leveled both revs using Shiro/Jalis this build was like mana from heaven. Hope to branch out eventually into fully utilizing Glint but at least I feel like I can apply quickness and still do some damage now. Many thanks.
I was going to offer my guild mates quickness support for ages and couldn't make up my mind. this video finalised it. thanks again, Muk & team. one question: is it permissable to swap staff for hammer? the only thing the staff seems good for is CC (granted, very powerful CC) but more often than not one needs to put some distance between boss and oneself. hammer #5 is just 200 defiance bar damage compared to theoretically 1350 from staff #5, *IF* you hit the target 9 times, the maximum possible. the hammer can still do something useful from a distance, the staff not so much
Bold of you to make this 5 days before the balance patch, i dont think this one is surviving unfortunately.
Based on the quality of the video it was probably in the editing chamber for a few weeks.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it avoids tons of nerfs. GW2 always needs boosted builds to help mediocre players get into groups. I don’t think it’s getting as nerfed as anyone thinks it should. It’s still gonna be the go to “I’m not that great mechanically but want to provide utility” build.
I've played basically this build way before the many changes that made it insane. I just hope it doesn't get completely nuked because I've used this for years at this point lol.
And it’s for that reason I don’t think it’s getting nuked. ANet have happily let herald be the boon god and a very good build for years. It’s just going to take a damage nerf. It’s probably impossible to rip the boon access out of Herald at this point but you shouldn’t be able to run full zerk. I expect them to reduce access to concentration and force people toward diviners
Not the top DPS quickness support, so why should there be a nerf?
Hi, with the recent GS nerf, does SW/SW better ?
Nice guide as always.
Something Herald can do pretty well that you didn't mention is projectile protection esp. for the two Djinns in wing 7.
True! But thats more complicated and not that good in a Li build
Please remember - this build is for people with disabilities 😊
@@Cross_111 I know. But it's very useful and many groups will expect a Herald to do this in those fights so I found it worth mentioning.
Granted wing 7 isn't likely to be the first one to start raiding with but I have sometimes thrust people in there for their first raid.
Quick herald beats quickbrand so hard that I've benched my quickbrand. If someones just out of range or dodges while I'm casting they just miss out, even if we are more closely stacked. Compared to a 100% uptime on my herald..I don't even need to pay attention to it
Is this viable with dual swords? I don't have the latest expansion, I can't use GS.
Do you think you'll give a go at LI support setups in the future? I think it would be cool to see how far those types of builds can be simplified down to the core aspects, since they tend to be more button intensive than DPS builds. Heal alac mechanism can be reduced down to 4 (5, technically) buttons - F2 for alac, barrier signet, f3, and then med kit AA to spritz people (hence 5 buttons, since they gotta press heal skill -> then 1 for the AA) if they're suffering. The only real potential issue there is the positioning required for mech f3, but setting the mech to passive and just hugging your group will make it hit most everyone it needs to 99% of the time. Mace 2, shield skills (for prot), elixir gun/mortar kit, etc are nice for extra stuff.
Swap to scrapper and replace barrier signet with blast gyro and add in barrier gyro if someone is feeling super spicy, and it's basically the same thing except weapon skills instead of mech skills- hammer 5, hammer 3, blast gyro. Ofc that's more complicated since hammer3 needs to be in a field, and if there ins't one available the player would need to know to press another gyro or something, but maybe these kinds of simplified support builds would be helpful. IIRC it's all been DPS and DPS-boon builds so far.
If you play heal mech like that your subgroup will have no swiftness and regen, barely any prot, get no condition cleanse or any burst heal. Supports can't be LI because you need to provide all the boons and play proactively and reactively.
@@juanpunch2793 Yeah, and unless they all actively stand in as much red as they possibly can (and maybe even if they do, you can get pretty darn far with medkit 1), they'll be absolutely fine. Might, barrier, alac, and a spammy heal skill are perfectly fine for most content.
Muk is amazing
how come I do like 5k less dps with same build and rotation?
Ur a legend
Hey Muk, how is this possible? I tried the build that you showed in the video but it won't let me use the GS.
Herald/Revenant were added in Heart of Thorns, Weapon master Training to use greatsword on herald was added in SotO, you would need both of those expansions. If you already own soto, you just need to talk to the guy in the first major zone to get weapon master training, shown here: ruclips.net/video/EoPizDC585o/видео.html
Thanks@@MuklukRUclips
Is it provides 100% quickness to the group?
Condi Mechansit is probably the best Li build there is including Condi Alac Mechanist. You run Flamethrower Turret instead of Kits which has 37k benchmark 😂 the Alac variant is +25k which is good for new players. You spam 234 and now and then 90 tough you skip 9 if you play alac.
Is GS so much better than 2xSwords? I'm pretty used to play 2xSwords, tho I don't mind giving GS a try.
Yes it's a big jump. Gs is worth jt
depend on gamemodes, Im still using swords in wvw/pvp
I missed your LI guides.
Hope next one is scourge without weapon swap lol
Just camp pistol. I do and get dumb numbers. Look up laranitys scourge guide. You have until Tuesday when it will be nerfed though.
Is this still a good LI build as of current patch?
Yep, check the pinned comment.
No Glint for Quick variation?
It gives quickness with all legends now (points of upkeep in use - one arrow on the left bar) - its the top grand master trait. The lowest is the p dps trait
Glint is still better overall but is more complicated. This is a low intensity build
I guess to help with LI build, toggling on a combination of Glint facets too big for brain
@@thoby123 Just go Glint/Shiro, leave F2 running and activate Elite in Glint and Odds in Shiro. 5 Button rotation with much more flexibility, but this version is pretty trash imo.
He did say it's a beginner's build and this is quite helpful as I've been playing a Revenant for about five days and looking at websites for builds can be a tad overwhelming while learning how to play GW2. I've got a couple of 80s now, been playing overall for a month or so and being gold strapped I'd hate to choose a build that might not be a good selection for say WvW/Fractals/Strikes and have to lay down more gold, for one char. just to switch to another build. Thanks for your videos Muk as you've helped me along the way these past few weeks.
@@thoby123 literally using Glint instead of Jalis and only touching facet of strength is the same intensity as this build AND better dps
Seems to still be working atm
Greatsword with herald? how?
Secrets of the obscure expansion introduced weapon mastery which allows your elite specs to use the weapons of your other elite specs
is this viable to open world for noobs?
Yes, but keep it in mind that it's optimised for group content. Check out Lord Hizen for open world builds.
I made a 10k DPS build where all you do is auto attack lol
so, just getting back into the game. how do you use greatsword without being the new spec?
Weapon master taining allows you to use weapons on other specs. Here is a video on it: ruclips.net/video/EoPizDC585o/видео.html
Scrapper crying in the corner
Is this already nerfed? I Dont see the quickness at the trait
No, Elevated Compassion still can provide the quickness
yes, the greatsword is nerfed along with shortbow, but you can use the double sword build, which was the original build (which is still powerful) before the soto release (weaponmaster achievement). I think he was running a dps build instead of quickness build
That's great but you're using Legendary gears! Not everyone has their or ascended...
Just run exotics if you don't have ascended, minor dps loss obviously but it's enough, exotic vs ascended/legendary is not much difference.
I don't get it lol
Is it weird that I'm excited for a nerf patch?
As someone who has autism and has a hard time learning things in this game due to it, builds like this are my favorite because I don't need to get hyper-aggressive and learn rotations and whatnot
I just wish ANet had like, an autism awareness title that I can use that tells my team that I have autism
Just so people could have some understanding as to why I have a hard time learning
By the way, does Shortbow work well on this build?
Please stop making videos on this I do not want the guild wars 2 team to take away my favorite build in the expansion lol Love the videos man husband one of my favorite games for years definitely this is one of my favorite builds to play right now
