Best tank in the game? | Mesmer Skin build for level 9999

Hello, this is my Revenant build used for steel path and endurance runs, it also works in casual missions but not as great as it is in steel path and endurance runs.

Revenant is one of the best tanks in the game, a lot of people build him for Danse Macabre, but he is actually an amazing tank! The build requires 6 Forma if you do not use an Umbra Forma.

Now, this build needs a primer and a weapon of choice to kill enemies.
Check out my melee modding guide if your weapon of choice is a melee, and maybe you would learn something from it!)

As you can see, I got rid of Danse Macabre (his 4).
Why? Because:

  • You can not do anything when Danse Macabre is active except move and Reave

  • Having Danse Macabre active and using Reave multiple times will easily make your energy run out

  • You need a lot of strength just for Danse Macabre to deal a good amount of damage especially in level 200+

  • Constantly getting shot to take damage while Danse Macabre is active barely gives you more damage

  • Danse Macabre has clunky range

So it is pretty much useless in endurance.

How this build works

The first thing you do is cast your Mesmer Skin.

Let an enemy hit you, and Enthrall them, this costs no energy.

Keep killing enemies with your weapon and get some energy.

After having enough energy, Ensnare your enemies and shoot them with your primer to proc viral and Reave through your enemies. This will one shot them.

When you have no more Mesmer Skin charges or only have a few, use [Rolling Guard] and recast your Mesmer Skin.

That is pretty much it, thank you for reading and remember to try to not just copy and paste builds without knowing what to do with the build or what it is about.
