Hero Points and the Revenant
I’d assume how “Signets” will be a skill line, each legend will be a skill line, with one legend’s heal being the “free” default heal that all 1st level characters get. Then as you get hero points you can unlock your utilities for that legend or start learning a different legend.
For a not tome rushed character, you still need to be lvl 13? to unlock your first utility, and presumably you’ll get enough hero points before then to make sure you can unlock at least your first one, I don’t see a problem.
going by the way that in future all 6- 0 skills of the same type (signets, shouts, cantrips,etc) are in the same line to unlock, i guess that each legend will only have acces to one skill type. MAybe malyx somthing like all Corruptions, Jalis all Physical, Shiro all venoms, etc. Jet the indivdual legends are maybe more like a mix of Ele attunemetns and Ranger pets. meaning you have the Legends withotu unlock(like Attunemnets), and can slot which one you have(like the Ranger Pets), yet they only have skills if they unlocked(kind of how weapon skill are only attainable after a specific level)
But i somehow hope they will have a neutral line of skill that can be slotted to any legend. So the Player can atleast use 3 different Skill types at once. Yet Revenants will have double the Skills available other classes have in Combat (6-0 Signet + 6-0 Shouts as example)
The revenants utilities HAVE to be interchangeable, otherwise that’s just bad.. you’ll be fighting a revenant and you’ll instantly know what abilities to expect from him, and that’s really, really bad.
I’m hoping to get an underwater style thing going on with the revenants utilities where say “x ability can’t be used with x legend”.

You mean like you already know when you see the weapons that a current profession has? Usually but just the weapon you can know if it’s power or condi and a decent idea of the utilities, even more so if you see any signet passives. I can’t recall the Rev from all that long ago, but each legend is only getting 3 (maybe 4) utilities, they never mentioned otherwise.
