Many people build tank rev, and while it does work in groups or shadow towers, real trovians build PD on rev to show dominance over others.

Notes: You can technically still tank and do well in shadow towers, but you will die pretty quickly if you don't monitor your health pretty well.

Ally and Flasks

I use rapt when grinding due to it letting me 1 shot enemies consistently. However, if you are in a long battle, it is better to use Chronomancer Qubesly as it lets you spam your shield slam more and thus, deal a lot more damage over a sustained period of time.

I use condensing while grinding due to not having to refill flasks with it. However in shadow towers, you might have issues with staying alive, and while yes it doesn't synergise well with rev, ddv might be the better flask to use. Also, swapping out beamer for surestrike if you need the extra crit hit.

Empowered Gems

The only gem you really need is spirit surge, because it lets PD rev be semi-viable. However, sunburst and explosive epilogue help a ton whilst grinding.

Spirit Surge

Taking damage has a chance to spawn a ring of projectiles, applying damage-over-time to enemies based on your max health.

This gem has a cooldown.

Stunburst

Taking damage has a chance to spawn a ring of stunning projectiles, briefly disabling affected enemies.

This gem has a cooldown.

Explosive Epilogue

Killing enemies causes them to explode.

\n\nThis gem has a cooldown.

Text

This build isn't really the best at tanking and while there are better dps classes and grinding classes, there is something satisfying about flying into a dungeon, pressing m2 and watching the boss explode. If you want to try it and have an extra class gem key, I would definately suggest it. It's also a lot more satisfying to level than tank rev. Hope you enjoy this build and that it helps you get level 30 rev or find another alternative to playing tank rev.
