    Revive Teams

    So, I've been watching youtube videos of things like Shadow Behemoth and WvW and such, and I had a thought...

    Remember back to Molten Core, when you'd have specific people hanging back from fights to rez people?
    Am I the only one beginning to think that, for big events in GW2, organized groups would be wise to have "revive teams" watching specifically for people who have been defeated? Even if their job isn't necessarily "run around and revive people who failed" they would certainly be teams of people that chose rezzing utilities.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    I for example wouldn't mind being on that team.

    Some of the bigger events I spent 90% of my time reviving people. Why I didn't equip elixir R is beyond me.....

    Yeah, I was doing the same thing on my Thief, but Thieves don't have any revive utilities, except for putting down an Ambush Trap when we start reviving, and stealthing for 2 seconds when we finish a rez.

    Same for me, during a lot of the big events I got tired of dying and just spent all my time rezing people. Less stressful, no repair bill, and I get lots of exp.

    I imagine revive teams would be full of people built specifically for support, not just rezzing - healing, buffing, removing conditions, etc. So maybe it would be more accurate to call them the "support squad" or something.

    You just reminded me of Team Fabulous 2.

    00:55 into the video.



    On topic.

    There surely will be support teams, it wouldn't surpirse me at all, but they would gimp themself a lot compared to others who evens it out with damage and support.

    1) the stealth gives you 4 seconds unmolested to get revive health on them

    2) the ticks add health, reducing the amount of revive time you need by maybe 1 tick. if interrupted that 4 ticks of refuge could mean everything

    It is not the same thing as an instant-revive skill, or a skill like "I Will Avenge You!" that lets you essentially rally FOR them.

    I did not say the following:
    1. Shadow Refuge is useless (because it's not)
    2. Shadow Refuge doesn't help with reviving (because it does)
    3. Shadow Refuge doesn't help prevent down/defeat (because it does)

    I simply said it's not a revive, and that's 100% factual.

    Meh you're just being picky...

    Do I see people making revive teams? Meh maybe? I don't think they're required because you get plenty of people like me who will fight the boss/ enemies, revive, support, and control and what ever else just because they can... That and those who fight alone die alone, so it's good to pick up people whenever you can!!

    PS: rangers have 2 revive skills so therefore we are better then rezzing then you lesser creatures!!

    I don't think revive teams would actually be required to "sit back" from a fight. They'd just be the ones responsible for reviving the dumbasses!

    Back in Molten Core, people had to sit back from the fight because if they got into combat they couldn't rez people. That's not the case in GW2.

    Ah ok i thought you were saying that they'd sit back so that the rez team wouldn't die xD didn't realize that was JUST for wow where they would need to avoid combat xD.
