I understand,that it’s beta,that class isn’t complete yet(I get it,I really do)…but come on Anet…apart from first few matches with Revenant in Stronghold, Revenant was fun,but take him to Conquest and you are a joke. I felt so bad for 4 other people,who were on same team as me. Even they thought we gonna lose from start…which is hilarious,because somehow we won,but that was only one time. I did few more matches and mesmer,thief mostly just shut me down. Rest classes helped them a bit,but before I could cast 1 skill,I was already being interupted,dazed,etc. Where are blocks,stun breaks,etc.? Swap legend…and then you are stuck with skills you don’t want or can’t help you. And what a "rich " choice of what you want for utility skills
One weapon set is fail. For class that relies on utility skills,since he only has 1 weapon,they pretty much suck…any enemy player with stun or knockback will interupt your Utility skill before you’ll be able to cast it. Oh and let’s not forget,that Utility skills cost so kittening much on top of your weapon skills already costing energy…class that wants to rely on utility skills,is stuck with 1 weapon….only way this might work,if you give Revenant ALL 4 LEGENDS through F1-F4 (by default) and tone down energy cost.
Hammer weapon skills are slow as kitten,let’s not forget it’s a range weapon…..Mace and axe were a joke,I didn’t even dare to bring that in spvp match. Staff could be cool,but why is staff melee weapon. If you can make hammer (!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?) range weapon,surely 1-2 skills from staff could be ranged.

Please,really please give them 2 weapon sets,because 1 weapon set isn’t viable.
I don’t know,how energy cost is so high? Weak imitation of Thief class. Either make energy cost for weapons skills or Utility skills alone,not both. And if weapon skills cost energy,why the kitten are they even on cd? It’s not like Hammer #5 will hit anyone,even if you could cast it 3 times in a row.

I played the Revenant in 4 Conquest matches yesterday evening. I lost every one of them. In the third match, a player refused to play, and instead spent the entire game sitting at the spawn point and flaming me for bringing the Rev into PvP. Ordinarily I’d say I’d never deserve that kind of shabby treatment, but given how weak the class is, I was literally disadvantaging my team just by playing it.

When I look at MMO classes, I like to consider each one having four areas of potential strengths and weaknesses:
1. Offense/Damage
2. Defense/Healing
3. Mobility
4. Utility/Crowd Control

All of the other GW2 classes have the potential to excel in most of these areas, depending on how they are built. At the present time, the only thing the Revenant can do is heal.
1. Damage is an order of magnitude lower than other classes (there are many threads around where people much smarter than I have done the math).
2. Its lack of reliable CC compounds its too-long cast times, so it’s hard to hit with your skills.
3. It has only one stun break (with an extremely high cost) and very little mobility, so there’s not much you can do to defend yourself from damage spikes/burst.
4. Micro-ing Ventari’s tablet for healing and survival leaves little opportunity to do anything else with the class, and given the tablet move time, cast times, delayed effects of utilities, and lack of stun breaker, you’re dead if someone bursts you anyway.

I agree, a lot.
