Guild Wars 2

It’s called the Revenant.

I just rolled my first rev because why not. I’m a little slow on the uptake, but I guess they have been listening to all our suggestions.

I just hit level 5 and unlocked my third mace skill, so I figure, what else a noob to do but spam 1,2,3.

So I did, and this is what happened.

skill 1: exactly the same as scepter staff 1 but melee. with torment instead of bleeds. and much faster. and hits multiple targets.
thoughts: gee, I feel like the necro has been asking for something exactly like that for a long time. Oh well, lets see what’s next

skill 2: low cooldown AoE burning and a fire field.
thoughts: Wouldn’t condi necro want that too? You know, for more active play and team synergy etc. and to cover bleeds.

skill 3: low cooldown blast finisher, comboing AoE might into the aforementioned fire field, and more torment (a condition we were told necros would benefit most from).
thoughts: I should be upset, but instead I’m just going to shut up and play my heavy armour condi necro and you should too.

I expect even more surprises that I could be upset at but will instead choose to enjoy as I journey from level 6 to 80.
Chill is nice on the reaper at least.

Scepter 3 got a much needed buff recently, and while scepter is still a little lacking, you have to understand what 900 range means. Condi Revenant only has one weapon set for condis, and it is melee. Meanwhile, Reaper has scepter, staff, and shroud to inflict damage. Although Scepter and Staff could be better, they create a very different playstyle from revenant.

Necromancer and Revenant have completly different condition playstyles. Day and night.
