Power Quickness Herald

May 2023

Power Quickness Herald is an offensive support build that provides a group with Might, Fury, Quickness, Protection, and Swiftness. The wide range of essential boons provided makes this build excellent for filling gaps in groups.

A very simple rotation and excellent defensive abilities make Power Quickness Herald a good introductory choice for new players. This build also offers strong Crowd Control via Surge of the Mists and the option to provide Stability by using Legendary Dwarf Stance instead of Legendary Assassin Stance.

Build Fundamentals

Power Quickness Herald provides boons by combining Draconic Echo with consistent usage of Legendary Dragon Stance skills and their active components. This build also extends boon duration with True Nature (the active of Facet of Nature in Legendary Dragon Stance). Make sure to apply boons (especially Quickness) before using True Nature or the skill won’t do anything.

Note: True Nature will apply Quickness but the boon extension happens before Draconic Echo activates so if you haven’t already applied Quickness to yourself and allies it will not be extended, which is significantly detrimental to uptime. 

Once boons are provided in Legendary Dragon Stance, swap to Legendary Assassin Stance, activate Impossible Odds, and auto-attack, fitting Chilling Isolation between auto-attack chains.

Some Facets have very powerful active effects beyond boon application. As such, you may want to delay using their actives to maximize their impact:

• Facet of Light Infuse Light: This heal skill converts all incoming damage into healing, essentially allowing the revenant to ignore almost all incoming attacks for a short period of time.
• Facet of Darkness Gaze of Darkness: Short cooldown stunbreak ability.
• Facet of Chaos Chaotic Release: Powerful control effect. Launches foes for large defiance bar damage and applies Superspeed to yourself and allies.

Facet of Nature

Facet of Nature provides a powerful effect to yourself and allies depending on your current Legend:

• Legendary Assassin Stance: Grants lifesteal on attacks, adding damage and minor sustain.
• Legendary Dwarf Stance: 10% strike damage reduction. Very strong when combined with Protection and damage reduction food.
• Legendary Dragon Stance: 20% boon duration. This is additive and can go above the 100% cap for a maximum of 120% boon duration.

Just like other facets, Facet of Nature also has a consume skill called True Nature.

• Legendary Assassin Stance  True Nature: Area damage and boon removal, excellent for dealing with groups of booned enemies.
• Legendary Dwarf Stance True Nature: Applies Stability to you and allies in a 600 radius.
• Legendary Dragon Stance True Nature: Extends boons on you and allies by 3 seconds.

Crowd Control

• Surge of the Mists
• Jade Winds
• Chaotic Release

Alternatives

Legends

If you need Stability, swap out Legendary Assassin Stance to Legendary Dwarf Stance for Inspiring Reinforcement. Vengeful Hammers should be maintained in Legendary Dwarf Stance for extra damage and durability while you don’t need to use energy for Stability.

Legendary Centaur Stance has some niche uses: Usually, it’s taken for Protective Solace but Facet of Nature also pulses a heal every three seconds. True Nature used in this stance removes two conditions from you and nearby allies, and heals for each condition removed.

When using these legends it may be ideal to stay on Legendary Dragon Stance longer than the rotation suggests, and to only swap to Legendary Dwarf Stance or Legendary Centaur Stance once their utility is needed.
