Guild Wars 2

A thought occurred to me: are there any really good reasons to not take the invocation traitline? Just looking at the traits, invocation grants a stunbreak on weapon swap, bonuses on/to fury, stance switching, etc. It almost seems like the “correct” way to effectively play the revenant would be to take two legend trait lines and invocation.

All the other trait lines seem to favor one particular stance and weapon set, so wouldn’t having a third trait line that isn’t invocation render it underutilized?

It’s the same for every class thief trickery,ele arcade,war discipline etc. the unique line naturally fits all or is intended to.

Yeah, that’s often the case. However, because it’s changing to widely be a “fury” line, you very well may not use it in all support builds or even condition builds. It’s a bit more lenient with the direction they’re going. It’s still pretty good though, but that’s just like any class-definition trait line.

Best to wait for Glint to really decide.

Lol my mistake I typed it on mobile.

Right now for my future Revenant, I’m thinking of Corruption, Retribution and Devastation trait lines for the damage bonuses as well as survivability. I might swap out one of the 3 trait lines though if the Rev’s spec provides better traits. Only time will tell.

I’ll probably swap out Retribution if the Rev’s spec trait line is better. There’s no way I’m swapping out Devastation. So it’s a toss up between Retribution or Corruption.
