Good evening fellow gamers,
I had the pleasure in taking part of the stress test for 3/24 and I enjoyed every minute of it. I had no connection issues or any problems of any kind. The revenant was fun to play and easy to get use to the play style. The hammer animation was awesome, specially skill #5, even though it was a bit slow. Skill #2 brought a new dimension to the game, I am sure Anet has more interesting uses for such animation. I think it should also inflict cripple and vulnerability as well. Skill #4 has great potential to aid against range classes, which sometimes can be taxing and frustrating. All together the hammer skills looked awesome and worked perfectly giving me a fun experience and a lot of room to either range or get up close.
Mace and Axe were a bit dull in my opinion, I found myself going back to hammer were I felt I had more control, specially when fighting the test boss. I think Temporal Rift should be able to reach our further, perhaps shoot chains like Force Engagement in a spin like motion creating a vortex from the center of the rift.
For utilities, I was using more of the Demon Stance and less of the Dwarf Stance. I loved the ease in which I was able to pull condis and not just sit there until their effect was over. This gave me the mobility to go where I was needed and support my team mates
.
I also enjoyed the gliding but I think it should have a boost-up if needed, maybe have some energy usage to lift you up, I fell a couple of times and was not able to get a boost from the wing turbines
Over all I was very impressed with the Revenant abilities and potential to eliminate condis, since condis are a big part of PvP and WvW game play now a days. I can tell this new profession will become a must in organized group play and become a staple in this already awesome game. Thank you for the opportunity to take part in the stress test and I hope my humble opinion is constructive and objective.
