That Shaman put in some work data mining these legends so we can fill in a few more blanks here.

Shiro = x
Glint = x
Ventari = x

I’m pretty sure that Shiro and Glint will be your direct offense choices. One will likely be critical damage and the other will likely be up front damage. I’m solely basing this off of the stats we currently get from trait lines. One condition damage line, one power line, one precision line, one toughness line and one vitality line. That makes 5 niche lines and what do we have here? 5 possible legends. That being said, trait lines no longer give free stats, so what will these Legends do? Take the inspiration core specialization line for the mesmer, very supporty, right? The roles of lines are still filled pretty well even though you don’t get the obvious stats to show their roles. One direct damage line, one crit damage line, one condi damage line, one tanky line and one supporty line.

We have two roles ticked off with Jallis and Mallyx and what do we have left to cover?
Support, crit and power.

Earlier we got leaked an image of a centaur with a quote from the Ventari Tablet. Almost 100% sure this means we’re getting a new legend this week. I don’t think that’s all we’re getting though. So far the Revenant trait lines pair with a certain legend. Currently there’s nothing referencing legendary centaur skills while also being terribly supporty so my expectation is that we’ll also be getting a new trait line. No doubt we’ll also get a glimpse of Ventari’s utility skills. Out of all the remaining role options I’m thinking the pacifist horse man will likely fill that of support.

Above is a list of the datamined staff weapon skills for the Revenant thanks to Knighhonor’s post. Take a look at the staff. Heals? Blinds? Weakness? Knock backs? Condition removal? Sounds pretty supporty to me. What weapon do we usually see Ventari wielding? A staff! I think it’s also safe to say that we’ll be getting a new weapon as well to go along with the playstyle of Ventari. We do already have Mace/Axe which works well with Mallyx and Hammer which goes with Jallis.

I think Woodenpotatoes was correct in his video regarding this post…

I agree with his speculated pattern – three elite spec reveals, a break for general content, a new Revenant legend, repeat. That way by the time all of the elite specs are out of the way we’ll have the last two legends and trait lines and likely a few new weapons. Anyways, stay hyped! Cool stuff’s probably on the way! Unless I’m completely wrong in which case I’ve wasted and hour of my life.

TLDR: This week we’re likely getting the supportive legend for the Revenant – Ventari.
Probably also going to see the staff revealed as well as a new trait line.

Well I agree that Ventari will be the Healing/CC oriented legend. Since he is a promoter of peace and nonviolence we can imagine one of the skills he use is like the elite tome of courage of guardians and does a AOE daze to stop people from attacking and his elite can be something like summon a tree that aoe pulses heals and condition cleaning.

For Shiro I can imagine him being the Single target damage legend and glint maybe AOE burst damage.

I olny hope that we will see more than just ventari legend+staff. As for Shiro and Glint i believe one of them will be focused more on mobility. Cause we have seen glint elite skill already i bet on shiro being a mobile beast while glint ends up as dps legend.

Actually the trait lines’ themes (iirc) are sorted more based on skill types than stats. I’m sure that at least one trait line is usually dedicated to class specific abilities like the mesmer’s illusions line.

So we might see a line which rewards legend swapping or something like that.

Mallyx and Jarlis seem to follow their GW1 ‘themes’ so it should be safe to assume Venatri, Glint, and Shiro may possess similar themes to their GW1 counterparts.

For example check out what Mallyx’s monster skills used to do – consume hexes and conditions to heal, force foes to shadow step away from him, strip enchants – and you see a lot of that in the available play for this legend.

Since Ventari was an extreme pacifist, I can see his line being a support/boons/healing line, as others have said.

Shiro would be my guess for dps, with lots of shadow stepping. Of course, looking through Shiro’s assorted monster skills (needed a refresher) we could see some life steal in his skills too, maybe not though as I think it might step on the Necro’s toes a bit much.

Glint, based on her previous skills, actually makes me think control. Crystal bonds stripped an enchant, slowed the character, and made them immune to having an enchant re-applied. Crystal Haze was energy denial, since other classes don’t use energy, not sure if they could reuse this. But wouldn’t this be interesting if it was implemented as endurance denial? A counter to vigor! (I can dream). Then we have Crystal Hibernate – heal when taking non physical damage, and Jagged Crystal Skin – when hit with physical damage, nearby foes takes ‘x’ damage.
