Guild Wars 2

revenant needs to build up energy to
“spam skills” or to use a full combo on the begining
why not change the legends swap to 20 sec and give us 100% energy?

Well it depend with wich legend you are playing. Energy managing was entertaining first BW and revenant was a little clunky, you really don’t spam attacks. But with glint? The upkeep cost of the skills allow you to easily manage your energy, allowing you to use really more weapon skills. There is just no problem energy with glint. I have played more than 30h on revenant last we and i just have no energy problem, kinda easy to manage.

I think it is fine as is. Revenant was designed to not spam skills, but manage skills. With a 20 second cooldown that would prevent the condition removal on legend swap being used as much which is needed, upkeep skills from glint gone to long if needed, and create some issues with healing at times.

Atm i’d just lower some skill cost especially on jalis. Otherwise i’m really satisfied of current energy balance

No thanks. I don’t want to wait 20 seconds to switch legends. That would completely change the balance on our skills.

Part of the intention here is to punish you for swapping legends early too. If you are above 50% energy then you actually LOSE energy when you swap legends.

I don’t think they want us that bursty. I really don’t want 20 sec CD on swap. If anything the swap should be lower.

Revenant has quite a bit sustain so having a class that can instantly pull out a strong combo would be rather OP. I think it’s fairly good balanced. Some skills just need some adjustments with the energy cost to be rewarding enough to use or to even be able to use.
