Guild Wars 2

I think it’s safe to assume that each Revenant Legend will have at least 1 new Elite Skill assigned to it. Each of the other professions has only 3 Elite Skills, but I doubt we will get only 3 Revenant Legends, maybe 5 (one for each trait line maybe?) is a better number, so that means 5 Elite Skills at least.

Does that mean that all the other professions will get 2 more Elite Skills as well?

Each profession has access to 20 Utility skills. If Revenants are going to have the same number of Utility skills as all the other Professions they’d also need 20 Utility skills. 20/5=4 Utility skills per Legend, meaning players will have to choose 3 out of 4 Utility skills for their skillbar, giving Revenants some customization. DO NOTE that Revenant utilities are not classified as Signets/Glyphs/Shouts etc but as “Legendary Dwarf”, “Legendary Demon” instead

That number 4 isn’t exactly random because most skill types come in 4s. Each profession with Signets has access to 4 Signets (excluding elites/healing), there are 4 Glyphs for Eles, 4 Banners for Warriors, 4 Turrets for Engineers etc So getting 4 Legandry Demon skills, 4 Legendary Dwarf skills etc etc isn’t impossible or without merit.

So in total my speculation is as follow:
Revenants will get 5-6 Legends (either 4+1 with specialization or 5+1 for total 5 or 6)
Revenants will get 5-6 Elite Skills
Revenants will get 20/24 Utility skills, 4 Utility skills per Legend to choose 3
Revenants will get 5-6 Healing skills

The question still stands: will we get more Elite Skills for the other Professions?

It seems Revenant will be getting 4 Legends. Each Traitline will be tied to a Legend, and the final Traitline is the profession-specific one(which will probably be decreased recharge on Legends by x% per point invested in that line).

This means the Revenant is getting 4 Elite skills(1 per Legend), 12 Utility skills(3 per Legend) so far, and 4 Heal skills(1 per Legend).

Meanwhile, other professions have 3 Elite skills so far. According to Specialization, each profession is getting 1 additional Heal and 1 additional Elite. This sets it to 4 Elites per professions.

If Revenants get an extra Legend for Revenant Specialization, Revenant will have a total of 5 Elites.

That would be sad. Absolutely no trait customisation allowed. No room for specialisation… etc.

Yeah pretty much how I see it. Elites are more utility skills and their low coold down make them a bit imba with huge synergie with specific runes at the moment. (Just imagine Mallyx with superior runes of lyssa.)

they can also have more than 3 utilities per legend, so you can switch them, I don’t think there was said anywhere that you wont be able to switch skills… it would also make sense, because they could choose a legend specific class skills or racial skills… the only thing needed would be some UI to set those skills separately for both selected legends

There will be more than 3 utilities per legend: I don’t think Jalis’ road and Mallyx’s jump would work underwater. There must be something different.

Also they somehow sold the “one legend per traitline, and one traitline is for the profession”, there will probably be 4 legends. Since most professions have around 20 utilities, it’s quite simple to assume that each legend will provide a pool of 5 skills to choose from.

That does, however, confirm the Legend has 4 elites (I’m not talking about the spec). This might mean other professions might have a 4th elite outside spec, but nothing is sure.

You’re wrong about the skill type thing. Most skill types come in 5s. Turrets for instance are; Flame turret, Rocket turret, Thumper Turret, Net Turret and Rifle turret and same thing for all classes.

wrong, at least ele have utilities grouped by 4, if you would count heals it would be 5 for some types and 4 for the rest…

4 signets + heal signet
4 glyphs + heal glyph
4 cantrips, no heal
etc…

also not all heals have a skill type, so I think we can’t really count them

Whatever the number of skills per type, you are both right: we will have more than 3 fixed utilities per Legend! ^^

No sense in saying people are wrong based on keeping congruent with current patterns, which aren’t even consistent themselves.

The Revenant will undoubtedly surprise everyone.

O yeah! every class apart from the engie abides by the 4skills per type rule.
