Guild Wars 2

Is the Revenant class not able to use this skill? It is available on my Necro skill list but not my Revenant.

Lol I also just realized I have no access to the racial skills. Did they get rid of them or something?

I figure because these skills would bypass any Energy costs and the mechanic that Revs need to be aware of and manage their skills based on energy. I guess they figured it could make things too easy for Revs…..or not consistent. Yet in a way it feels very sloppy and as if Revs get shafted because of this.

So I take it then they did remove access to racial skills and mistfire wolf for Revenants officially then?

You will need a Dev to answer that, we can only speculate. It could just be an oversight. There has been a few of those made this expansion. Cough the Rev water issues for example.

don’t forget that rev also only has one underwater weapon

They’ve stated that allowing revs to have racial skills ruins the idea behind the rev, and allows players to make very bad skill choices, something they wanted to avoid. I would assume the mistfire wolf falls into that category.

It’s all they need tbh as it is both a great melee and ranged weapon. Right now it is bugged as well as the skill 2 costs NO energy (oversight I am sure and they will add an energy cost to it, mark my words) and is super powerful. Run with Shiro and all you need to do is spam skill 2 and the elite and you are fine.

Revenants do not have, nor will they be getting, access to racial skills.

To be fair, racial elites and mistfire wolf are only useful for leveling, you won’t miss them by 80.

So so stupid….

That’s nbot a bug, it’s actually a deliberate choice to have both skill 1 and 2 function as autoattacks (one a ranged condi-based auto, the other a melee power-based).

As for the elite/racial/Mistfire Wolf skills, it’s also very deliberate. Legends change the whole right side of your skill bar, no room for customization. It’s unfortunate they lose access to those options, but it’s a necessity of how the class works.

Legends do change the right half of our bar but you can choose the order the skills are placed in and the games saves those choices so it seems perfectly feasible to add the racials and such for a player choice. Its not like playing a Revenant gives a different opening to make it seem as they are reborn thus loosing their racial or select abilities beyond class.

Roy actually answered about that a bit ago andit’s working as intended. it’s not supposed to have energy or CD, skill 2 is fairly unique in that it’s a “second autoattack”

it would be unfair to give Rev only one underwater weapon but make it unviable for either condi or direct damage, so if you look, all of our abilities are dual-natured.

AA is a ranged condi autoattack, Spear2 is a power based melee autoattack, spear3 is a condi bubble that you can detonate for a power based explosion, spear 4 is a ranged condi application over time that you can consume to shadowstep and do a melee attack, and spear 5 is a CC skill

Revenant doesn’t get racials because of energy and legends.

All I can say to this is WOW just WOW, in the awesome this is good kind of way. As I said it’s a very powerful skill and having no cooldown or energy cost just adds to that times 10. So then, this being the case I stand by what I said earlier, Rev does NOT need another weapon as this is 2 in 1 and very powerful at that.

Roy confirmed that racial and elite skills will not be available for the Revenant. As mentioned before, the elite’s are tied in directly with the Legends

But two underwater weapon slots.

More like they forgot about the existence of those skills, and when they were reminded, they were already too deep into the design process. So, more a case of overlooking them than intentionally removing them.

for different stat combos and weaponswap sigils I guess?

I doubt that. They forgot that they needed to make an underwater weapon at all until late in the betas, and i believe the second slot is just the sideeffect of the rush job there.

rev needs condition removal for underwater T.T

most dmg from water combat is condition! and yet so limited to remoe it! wtf

Well… every other class can make those “very bad” choices. But the idea thing… yeah… I can sort of see it.
