Pretty much the title.

I don’t think anyone has really asked yet, but since it was mentioned somewhere that all the current professions were getting one to start out with, I was wondering if the Revenant will get one as well, just to keep things even.

By no means would it make things uneven if the new profession did not, considering it is just being released and thus would already throw a curveball in the grand scheme of balancing. I am merely curious…

It has been confirmed that the revenant will get its own specialization, too. Since we are barely familiar with the base mechanics of the profession, though, we can’t even begin to speculate what the specialization will be.

….and there is no way we could persuade to give us some form of a small spoiler right?

Will it have weapon swap? How many class machanic skills (F1, F2…)?

Or… may be just the name of a single weapon skill?

More like, he is probably anxious to show us his new class, but he can’t yet.

Unfortunately, I can’t yet. Quite a bit of info will be coming soon™ though. Sooner then you may think.

Also, if any of you are at PAX East or Rezzed make sure to come check out the demo of the expansion where you can try the profession for the first time. I’ll personally be at PAX East and I’m really excited to show everything off.

Hi Roy,

Sorry to go off topic, but I am looking at going to Rezzed on the Saturday 14th, are you able to tell us who will be attending at Rezzed? Also, will Anet be doing any talks there? Really looking forward to checking out the demo

On topic, I expected the Rev to get a specialization. I think it would have felt a bit strange if it didn’t. I suspect the mechanic (F keys) will be to do with the legends they can summon, so I am guessing all 4 F keys will be used.

Simplicity is complex.

Good feedback is key to getting the developers to listen to you.

I don’t think we are putting out lists of who goes where. I know we’ll have the demo at Rezzed as well. But besides that can’t say much. You’ll have to let me know what you think!

Yeah, it would have been strange to be like all current professions get this thing, but not the new one. But, as I said Revenant will have one like the rest of the professions.

As far as the profession mechanic goes, I can’t talk about that yet. Info will be coming soon™ though. I can’t wait to be able to delve deeper into the details of the Revenant.

Hello, Roy. I’ve always wanted to invest in a heavy armored profession, but I dislike non-magical classes (Warrior), and Guardian is stricly too defensive for me (I’m more into professions that offer a higher diversity of damage and/ or control builds). Is the Revenant for me? :P

Nice try but he already told us at some point that revenant = dark knight

The Revenant is quite different from both the guardian and the warrior professions. Think a darker heavy armor class that imbues magic and power of the mists into it’s attacks, along with drawing power from past legends.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. The dark knight-ish influences are very enticing. :P

I get that the devs have their hands tied in regards to giving out info, but could someone please put up a schedule of WHEN you’ll be talking about things like you did with the feature packs?

It sounds like you’ll enjoy the Revenant, but you’ll have to try it and let me know what you think.

That’s more reassuring than you may think.
Two months for any info on Revenant at all is a long time. One month is torelable but still long, around three weeks from now would be sooner than what I’d expect.

I’m most interested in getting to know the game play. Warrior’s weapon skills fluidity with some decent (but not great) mobility, with Ele/engy like utility (quality and quantity!), decent long range weapon option (for once for a heavy user, plz) with a complex profession mechanic, anyone?

You’ve already been saying more than enough though, thanks for that.
