Guild Wars 2

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/announcing-the-guild-wars-2-revenant-and-stronghold-test-weekend/

We’re inviting all pre-purchasers to join us for a special revenant test weekend starting Friday, July 10, at noon Pacific Time (UTC-7) and running until noon Pacific Time (UTC-7) on Monday, July 13. During this test weekend, you can create and play a revenant beta character anywhere in the existing game: PvE, PvP, and WvW!

so only those who pre purchased can make a revenant and play in sPvP eh?

Correct, and I’m very much looking forward to it.

I’d say you answered your own question =S lol

That’s a lot of total beginners to stomp, better take Rampage to speed it up. :p

I think there’s going to be more QQ about revenants being OP than there will be revenants being stomped.

Few people understand how revenants work and will have a difficult time countering them.

Try and think back to when you first started to pvp and had a warrior almost insta-kill you with bull rush + 100b, or a thief backstab/stealth troll you, or a mesmer just sit still and auto attack you to death while you killed clones. We’re going to see the same thing with revenant until players learn what they’re up against and how to counter it.

That’s because people didn’t understand the mechanics of the game.

We understand the mechanics of the game now.

A revenant is going to be a free kill because they severaly lack stun breaks.
Let’s also not forget that they have no weapon switch, if they’re using a melee weapon they have barely any gap closers and the few they have can actually be dodged preventing them from making any ground at all.

Elites have no recharge time, they can be used to just stun break and immediately released to save energy…are you sure that you know how the game works?

I really don’t know what to say if you think that Revenants are going to get a stun break that costs no energy and has no Cooldown.

Also I’m pretty kitten sure that Empty vessel takes effect on legend swapping, not using an elite.

As the revenant is now, the entire class is just one big gimmick.

p.s you can’t release elites to save energy anymore, so have fun with that apparent 50 energy stunbreak.

p.p.s regardless, we’ll see just how under/overpowered revenants are tomorrow, I’m guessing it’ll be the former.

Joshua knows how this game works, but i cant say the same about you if you think empty vessel or rite is any good. From my quote out of contest discussing this with some necro and his f1 key

“If it happen that your revenant will get stunned at 90% energy which you been saving up for a combo..tough luck, you have to swap and start over at 50%. Not olny you lose energy but you also lose the skills you was preparing to combo with. No class is punished that hard in this game yet. None.

You also can use utility skills to stunbreak, as a revenant again you dont have that luxury, all you really you can do is a punishing legend swap mentioned above."

So tell me how i am supposed to work around mechanic to stunbreak which is basically my weapon swap? And once i swap to get different types of utility i will be left without any stunbreaks for 10 seconds. Anyone that says rev has stunbreaks is out of touch in this game. It is in even worse state than necro right now.

I also dont understand your part “Elites have no recharge time, they can be used to just stun break and immediately released to save energy…are you sure that you know how the game works?” You wot?

The olny elite that stunbreaks is Rite of the dwarf which cost 50 energy upon use and lock you in 3second long animation. So my choice is between standing stunned still or selfdaze myself. Great.

If you think its fine then i dont think you should be able to speak about balance by any means in this game.

The only certain things are your own presumption and arrogance. The “truth” of your words is limited to the boundaries of your own mind, that’s to say…it’s the truth just for you, in your own little world. You’re just another armchair developer camping the forum of yet another MMO game, your opinions count as much as the others

I’ve simply pointed out that revs do have some decent stun breaker in my opinion, that’s all.

Yeah its ok mr Forrest Gump. Obviously the olny thing you can do are cheap insults. That quote alone proves you have no idea how revenant work to begin with yet discussing stuff.

Hopefully one day they take all your stunbreaks from utility skills on ele, forcing you to pick up a stunbreak trait by channeling earth and everytime you channel earth to breakstun – fire, air and water skills will be put on full cd. It will break your rotation? Who care. Make a choice, stunbreak or keep cd’s.

ah, thanks everyone for the feedback, now i’m really looking forward to stomp them.

I’ve been queueing for Stronghold primarily and I get 1, maybe 2 a match tops.

As i excepted, revenant turned out to be a freekill. Theres no way to win any 1v1 even vs a fresh player, and in teamfights they melt in literally 2 seconds due to lack of tools to actually help them survive – rev is like a pve mob, just focus and down. Necros looks like a gods in comprasion.

The negative comparisons to necro are killing me lol but seriously it may fail now but they won’t let it stay like that. It will definitely take them way less time then it did for necro, HoT is on their mind.

nomnom… tasty revs

I really hope so, since currently revenant is just totally unplayable.

OR totally new and ppl need to L2P it…
