So far I’m liking the Revenant. It’s going to take awhile for me to remember all the new skills. Especially condition removal ones. The damage seems appropriate for such low power. Im real interested in how it’s going to be with higher power and crit chance. The leap skill on the hammer makes the camera feel a bit loosy goosy but I’m sure this will be improved upon.

Story wise it’s nice to see the change where everyone talks regularly (esp player character) in the open world instead of cutscenes. Doesn’t take you away from the playing field. I also like that your character actually looks at the npcs he/she is talking to.

Gameplay performance (fps, network, etc) seemed no different than non expansion. Ran smooth.

The mastery system seemed fairly simple. Not really much different than the WvW points. The UI was pretty clean. I’m real interested in that defense against mordrem.

I’m liking the new defiance improvements although think it should scale higher with more players. Maybe this is true already but I didn’t notice. It seemed a bit too easy to stun the Wyvern.
