Guild Wars 2

Hey, that_Shaman on reddit data mined some info on the revenant with the new patch.
He found three new legends:

• Glint
• Ventari
• Shiro Tagachi

The relevant thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2z9ygs/datamining_new_legendary_stances_for_the_revenant/

That was fast :o

and i think thats it.Five legends.

Dang, Shiro? Really?

Now Revenant is officially OP. I mean it took Celestial Skills from Kuunavang to beat that guy so giving Revenant access to that power — who can stop them now?

5 legends, 4 utility per one. Ty for info OP!

Ventari? seriously? a legend? he only found a seed, we saw him like 2 times in the first game and he was not this important…

First, for those of you who didn’t actually follow the link… remember none of this is confirmed.

Second, Ventari is actually very pertinent to the current living story and if founding a race isn’t legendary, I don’t know what is.

Why would they ever put this into the game when they know dataminers exist. I don’t even understand.

Unless the beta isn’t running on a different version of the client, but that would be an… odd choice.

Because of how the game is produced, and many other games, they can’t introduce all the files all at once, because it will cause huge issues, so its better to install it piece by piece over a series of updates, so it doesn’t cause an apocalypse or something.

Well, yah. I don’t question starting to add some of the stuff, I just scratch my head at the fact that its something super spoilery like the Revenant legends (which I assume they were going to make a big deal revealing officially at some point). Surely there’s stuff they could add that wouldn’t mean anything to anyone without context. Or just various assets like weapons and armor which no one would really be able to tell if it was HoT stuff or just future BLTC items.

Unless they just figure people will know them all soon enough anyway (I’d assume the full Revenant will be a major part of Beta testing which is supposedly starting in limited fashion soon) so they don’t even care if they get spoiled. Which may be the case I suppose.

The possibility of using Impossible Odds! YES!

I can only hope the elite skill is his Jade Wind.

I’m pretty excited about being able to just port around everywhere in Shiro stance.

Ventari though? Very odd choice.

What actually Ventari does? Did we even see him fighting?
My guess would be a support legend.

Dissapointed at Ventari. Besides being wise centaur, what did he do? Guess we have to have part of Sylvari everywhere…

I was hoping for Bonfazz Burntfur or, you know, …. TOGO….

We should have a Ritualist in there.

Maybe Xandra or Razah

Imho considering the fact that every class gets new utility type with specializations, its possible we will get another legend. We have 3 good, 2 bad. Who could that be?

The ones that was datamined are created to base class as we dont see anything datamined related to specializations yet.

Sound like a Support Legend. Slyvari race was created because of him, and we know Slyvari Racials deal more closer with Healing magic and ranger/Druid like connections…

So good idea that he will be Support Legend.

Keep in mind, we don’t even know if the Revenent’s specialization will use legends, or energy system, since mechanic change they said..

And yet druids still uses pets.. I doubt they take away legends as in this case you would limit him to olny 5 skills in utility bar – lol

Glint, I think, will be support. She’ll be throwing Ascensions everywhere.

My guess, given that the different legends being supported by the different trait lines..

Shiro: Power and Condition Duration
Mallyx: Precision and Condition Damage
Jalis: Toughness and Healing Power
Ventari: Vitality and Boon Duration
Glint: Class Mechanic and Ferocity

I can easily see Ventari being the support legend. Time will only tell if we’re going to be able to spam boons with his trait line though.

Wow, all the characters are within the expected range!
Shiro! Glint! Ventari!
I can already see the power line (Shiro), the caster line (Glint), and the
mobility line (Ventari) !

NICE!

Added note: Centaur suppose to be a fast race, and Glint is a magical Crystal dragon, I don’t understand why people think Ventari is not to do with mobility and Glint is not to do with caster.

Might have something to do with the Armor stats that is already aligned with Vent…

That and he is closely tied to the plant people… as far as I am concerned, until Mordy is handled, he can stay in the mist. But that is me being a Plant-hating snob…

Oh Shiro <3

I don’t know how to feel about Ventari, so we’ll see!

And yay spoiled weapon skills too! <3

Disappointed about Ventari. Obviously ArenaNet’s way of carrying on SylvariWars2

They could have picked any other character, and they pick some meaningless fodder NPC who only appears twice, and is known for planting a tree. The two kids who used to play behind the LA bank are more worthy of being legends, due to actually doing something with their life (encouraging racial tolerance).

Jora, Pyre, Gwen, Kalla, all would have been more meaningful than Ventari.

Did he even plant the tree? Was it not Ronan who planted the tree atop the graves of his family?

SHIRO!!

I hope this will come true. But let’s see the facts: Rytlock’s attack in the promotional video and now the datamined Information we have. It is likely we will have Shiro.

I hope for Impossible Odds and Battle Scars as skills. Oh, yessssss. And dual Sword/Dagger-Hybrid.

Shiro Elite skill is basically a ranged AoE Basilisk Venom

Where you found that? Kinda interesing that this elite is 90cd considering revenant mechanic.

Ventari elite skill is grow some lettuce?

Ventari might be cc based, vines and such..But i doubt it

I honestly don’t care about ventari(although I admit it was a smartmove by arenanet to put him in), but I am totally hyped for Shiro, didn’t think we would actually get him, but now I have some hope again we might get a cantha expansion one day ^^

Holy cat! Shiro!!!!! Long live Cantha!

I can’t help but fail suppress a squee, Shiro is the one I’ve been hoping with all my heart for. Hands down my favourite villain of all time =)

Could you imagine a Thief spamming a two second stun on initiative? Didn’t think so.

This kind of move will require a large amount of balancing and reworking if it is to work on Energy.

There the catch tho, you can in theory spam pull on Jalis (50 energy). I think 90cd is way too much unless his other utilities makes up for that. One we know is http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Riposting_Shadows from the trailer.

tbh if they made thief use half of their initiative instead of CD for venom, they would not spam venom either

The stat combos make the most sense given that the many existing classes have similar if not the exact same stat combos across their trait lines (or all of their trait lines). Of course, Anet could pull a fast one and switch things up a bit, but we’ll have to wait until we get closer to the beta I guess.

I think we can pretty much say that Glint is confirmed from the GW2:H.o.T. trailer. It showed Rytlock channeling a dragon.

I kind of expected Glint, but Ventari was a pleasant surprise. I don’t care either way about Shiro because I still haven’t played GW1, but from the comments it seems he was pretty awesome?
Anyway, I’m looking forward to a sylvari Revenant using Ventari and probably Mallyx, or whatever other legend that is the WvW Rev meta. Hoping that Ventari is very support-focused, like a Guardian. Maybe with some multi-target vine CC.

I am SO down to doing twin sword Shiro 24/7.

WATAH!

Also, they better release his dual katana on release. Imma be real mad if they do not. Also if you die, you should turn the entire zone to Jade and fossil lol!

Video is for those who do not know Shiro, the angry dude in red armor is him.

Ventari is there so the Sylvari Revenants will have an obvious go to choice .

That’s also why Jora is there… oh. Right. My bad. Norns don’t matter to the Devs.

By that logic they apparently they don’t care about Asura or Charr either.

Indeed. We get humans, because well duh. And salads. Just a wee bit of persistent bias there.

All these complaints about Ventari and Sylvari “favoritism”… Because that’s the only possible reason they chose Ventari. Couldn’t possibly be because a Centaur provides a unique aesthetic for them to utilize as opposed to another human (and there aren’t exactly a lot of legendary Centaurs), or the fact that they seem to be building up some sort of Centaur connection to Maguuma, what with the centaur tribes in Dry Top and the Silverwastes. And there’s definitely no story potential there to delve into lore and find out exactly what’s special about the Pale Tree that could in turn be used against Mordremoth.

Nope, its all just because Anet loves Sylvari.

All other legends are race founders, except glint. Glint is a dragon. Glint had egg.s Legends are founders of their races. Glint player dragon race confirmed!

You’re right. Just like there’s all kinds of other reason to take the Charr-themed legend other than being a Charr… except the minor trifling detail it doesn’t exist.

Your argument: it is invalid.

I am surprised they are not using Pyre Fierceshot. That is an easy Charr legend to pull.

I do wonder is one of those is the Legend for the specialization rather than the basic class getting 5…

How is Shiro a founder of a race? Mallyx was a Morganite leader, not a founder. Jhalis is also far from the founder of Dwarves, in fact he oversaw the destruction of that race. Unless you consider the stone version of Dwarves a new race, but even then it was “The Great Dwarf” who designed the ritual.
