Revenant's kit may look confusing, but just building for his 2 and your choice of helminth over his 4 are 90% of it.
Build as much strength as you can fit (including his 2 augment). Then add in whatever other stats you want (like duration if you put Roar on him). You don't need any defensive mods.
The "stack" nature of Revenant's 2 means that it scales indefinitely, vs Rhino skin which gets weaker and weaker as enemies get stronger.
Yep, happened to me last week! That lich was not long for this world after that.
