    Revenge Builds are Ridiculously Strong.

    This isn't a hate post, but more of an awareness post of what Revenge can do at reputation 3 and higher.

    This is a link to a YT video of me getting a 4v1 in elimination thanks to my revenge build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5YN...ature=youtu.be

    Please bring awareness to this because I think once the gear is maxed it does become extremely powerful.

    I've done plenty of 1v4's without sweat.
    Its the enemys teams fault for just jumping in spam swinging. Letting me parry 3 of them in one single parry.
    Building up my revenge without even trying to control me with 4 people.

    Revenge builds only work vs noobs.

    P.S none of them were prepared for a PK zoneattack spam in revenge mode, their own fault!

    That is very true. Whenever I get revenge and use my zone, not one person can react to it in time.

    I'm confused why they kept swinging at you despite you glowing yellow in revenge mode...

    I'm thinking a lot of people don't understand how revenge works yet. The one bezerker seemed to know what was up, but he made a foolish mistake allowing you the kill.

    It did seem like they were all wildly swinging to be fair. The beserker was somewhat knowledge, which I could tell from the following round.

    Your attacks don't get cancelled from hits when in revenge mode. They should of played defensive and parried her at least.

    I'd say that it's ridiculously strong in 1vs1s. If you're decent with blocking you'll trigger it eventually in duels whether you get destroyed or doing fine. When the ability pops, it's a major deterrence weapon that turns into an I WIN situation if your opponent tries something nonethess during that time. Since revenge is bound to come out, it makes most of situations bland, I try to boot that Warlord out of the point I'm looking to capture, we trade blows, he has revenge ready, I might as well look somewhere else the time for it to cool down if he won't trigger it on a feint.

    This is exactly what Revenge is for. I think it's only too strong if it activates on 1v1.

    I'm not disagreeing that full revenge build can be very strong btw. In fact, I think it's more of a "noob-stomper" if you will. It creates this feeling of "omg, I can't do anything" for people that either haven't played the alpha/beta or never did the advanced tutorials.

    When you realize, "All we have to do is back up and wait it out or dodge around" it becomes more of a stalling tactic than an actual tide-turner.

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I guess it isn't as strong as I made it out to be, but really it was because they continued to attack rather than wait or parry.
