Field of the Mists

“Create a field from the Mists that blocks incoming projectiles in front of you.”

Again, this is brand-new, shiny tech. This skill creates a directional wall in front of your character, blocking incoming projectiles. Even better, it follows your character! While it’s active, the wall will always be in front of your character, moving around with you to protect you from those pesky rangers (unless they flank you).

Sword 3 is jealous

Sword 3 at least provides burst if it hits. Field of mists is more like WoR, but instead of reflecting, it absorbs, and it isn’t bound to on location, it moves with your character. I’m a lot more interested in that delicious new boon.

i was thinking of the fact that he can move and it follows, but sword 3 roots.

indeed, no one likes guardian even spirit weapons dont obey by going afk or decide to go atack something else…. bow inclueded run from the caster and went “im a frontliner spirit” where was no one except the enemy…

I have been playin with them and players must think im nuts :<
Indeed revenant indeed looks far superior :\ by the way they presented it.

Key word being if it hits.

This new wall skill will also make the sword AA number 3 useless against them.

ofc while its up, but i’m guessing it might be on a medium length CD at least so you can just bait it out and then ZD them.

From what I’ve seen so far, the revenant seems like everything that I wish guardian would be, but isn’t. My consideration of changing my main is only being reinforced with every new detail revealed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing class specific specializations come out after today. But so far, Revenant is looking mighty good from the limited look they gave us today.

You know, I wasn’t on the revenant hype train until yesterday when I saw the blog post. But the more they show the more awesome it looks. I’m am seriously considering changing now too. My only hope is that anet does a class cleanup with all the other classes to improve some long-standing problems, but that’s probably asking too much. Guard is a really cool class and is very powerful but it has soo many useless traits and skills.

The wall seems useless against AoE damage; the same happens with Wall of Reflection, which is one of the main reasons due this skill is fading in WvW.

So far I’m not very impressed with the new class: only two sets of weapons (a hammer which doesn’t perform as a hammer and a mace + axe). Sounds tankish and slow (we already have our dose of tanks and slow characters), not the blazing blade teleporting between targets that was showed in the first trailer.

Warriors are pure users of physical skills (offensive or defensive), Guardians are hybrid users of physical skills with magic focused on defense and support; I was expecting a Revenant as a hybrid combining physical skills + offensive magic, but so far seems more dffensive than agressive to me.

They just revealed another skill on the offhand axe at http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/9418/page/2 :

“AXE: Frigid Blitz – This allows the player to hurl an ice axe through the air, chilling everyone (slowing them), and when it reaches the actual highlighted target you teleport to him and do a melee spinning attack that ends up behind the enemy, chilling him too.”

In the same post: “Roy noted that the mobility of the Revenant in combat is a lot like the Thief’s out of combat…”

Also from what we’ve seen so far, it looks like hammer rev is going to become the new zerg meta. O_O

I am going to assume you were not around when they were revealing classes. Because every single class when reveal had hundreds of players such as yourself declaring their love for the class and saying THIS will be my main…until the next class reveal. They always hype up the new class, after all how would they get you to buy the expansion.

The point being you are making sweeping statements about a class you haven’t even played before.

Uhhh… What? Where in that post am I making a “sweeping statement”? I gave some facts relayed from a post made earlier today, and then I made something that was kind of obviously speculation about hammer rev becoming zerg meta.

My reasonings for being excited about playing revenant have just as much to do with the fact that I’m tired of guardian being bad as it is about the new class looking cool, anyway.

Hah. Look at the necromancer forum they are saying the same….

Yeah, I can definitely see PvE necro players being on the same boat. Necros are currently amazing in PvP though.

No, i mean for example one of the revenant elites will copy the conditions on him to his enemies, which is essentially a skill necromancer had in gw1 and many necros wished for having in gw2.

Isn’t that exactly what http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Plague_Signet does though?

This mentality isn’t anything new – new class revealed and people wanting to jump ship because they’re frustrated with their class. But when more information is released about their own class, people rethink of ditching their current main. That’s not to say everyone does that, though.

I don’t think we’ll see an over abundance of Revenant’s as main’s after a short while they’re released. A bit more in depth mechanics of the class, a bit more micro managing that people might not want to be bothered with.

Anyways, who know’s what’s in store with Guardians? We could get information that is completely unexpected and welcoming.
