Guild Wars 2

The Revenant’s Adept and Master minor traits in the Invocation line revolve around orbs made out of the Mists circling around you. The Adept minor forms the orb every time you use a skill that costs energy on a one second internal cooldown. The Master minor makes it so the healing effectiveness is increased and that they all return to the Revenant.

My question, to the players that have had the chance to play the PAX/Rezzed demos, have any of you had a chance to play around with this mechanic?

1) Do they spawn just where they are or follow the Revenant in a fixed radius? Are they even capable of being used by the Revenant without the Master minor (ergo for teammates)?
2) Do they have any uses besides for healing (as mentioned in the Master minor)? Do they heal allies or damage enemies? What do they do exactly?
3) Is there a hard-cap or duration attached to these orbs?
4) Do they have enough potential to go 4 into Invocation for them (minus the quicker Legend Swap and the Masters), or are they just a nice little bonus? Are they even a nice bonus or negligible?

I realize a lot of potential cannot be determined from the demo alone, but I’ve been aching for information about these two traits since the Ready-Up and they didn’t have either traits equipped during it.

Those two traits are kind of selling points to me for the Revenant. Even in a DPS spec, I could be dropping mini-health kits for my allies or getting mini-heals just for swapping legends, on top of regaining energy.
Passive support is an idea that appeals to me very much. I love running traits like “Spotter” or “Battle Presence”, so I think you can understand why “Swirling Mists” is really appealing to me.

Anyway, I’d prefer NOT to hear any speculation, as I am dying for cold, hard facts around these two traits, but I’d welcome talk around this trait.

Thanks in advance

I’m not the only one excited about this trait line, am I?
Then again, people who have actually played the PAX/Rezzed demo are a bit far and few right now…

Most are more concerned about what will they do for the current classes other than specilizations if they failed at them most will expect same for revenant. Look at the bigger picture…

If you read Revitalizing Breath, it suggests those are HEALING orbs:

Pull in and absorb all active replenishing globes when you invoke a legend. The healing from the globes has increased effectiveness.
