Apparently Revenant GS needed another nerf ... for Halloween (Labyrinth)? A once powerful weapon has turned into a wet noodle and finally got the target cap reduced, too. Well, it was fun while it lasted, but we are not supposed to have fun in the game, right?
Too bad, I loved the GS Rev. It became my second main ( after thief :). I switched to sword+sword last patch so it's not that bad, but I miss the GS aesthetics.
I probably go Reaper like I used to before EoD. But I still have fond memories from last year, where I was going ham in the labyrinth on my GS-Vindicator. Good times!
PS: Shortbow thief works great in the lab.
Unstoppable Flamethrower/Juggernaut (with a Sigil and Relic of Speed) works, too.

Well, they found GS to be too strong on non-Vindicator, nerfed it to the ground and buffed some Vindicator traits instead, e. g. damage increase after dodge. I'm getting tired of this messing around for the sake of "balance".
