Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, this week I decided to share my thoughts on the new and improved Revenant.
As well know it’s slowly becoming everyone’s favourite but, in my opinion, that will be shortlived if the traits aren’t given more spice.

A lot of the things that make characters like the Mesmer quite appealing is the types of builds that their traits allow them to create. Reality is, the Revenant’s builds are all in the skills and in the ways you use them. The traits enhance or modify each playstyle but never truly create new ones.

If nothing is done about the traits, there’s a good chance we might see other characters that have more influential traits take centre stage. Right now I’m loving the Reaper and Daredevil because of that.

Check out the video above to get some more tidbits on a cool combo I found with the Revenant.

I agree about the traits. I don’t know what that will translate to in the future for the Rev, but you’re right the traits are bland. For a profession who has very little customization on their skill bar there should be many different ways to build via traits. It could be justified that it should even be more expansive than any other professions traits for the reasons you state.

By and large Rev traits are pretty bad and not at all build defining, I hope that gets looked at as to me it’s the last thing missing.

As someone who has been playing carrion glint/mallyx for most of this weekend, I think that mallyx is the best legend in 1v1s, but it isn’t overpowered and shouldn’t be given cooldowns. The “one with nature” cooldownis enough because mallyx skills cost so much that you’re forced to use it after using Pain Absorption to stack resistance, otherwise it won’t have enough energy regeneration to really use the other mallyx skills effectively, especially the elite.

Mallyx’s other main weakness is its lack of any stunbreaker or mobility.

When it comes to 1v1s I’ve found it’s not a one size fits all scenario AT ALL. Sometimes Mallyx is the best choice for a fight, other times, Jalis is the best choice and other other times, Shiro is the best choice. It really varies from fight to fight. One thing is for sure though, I seriously could not beat any D/D Eles.
