Guild Wars 2

Am thinking of trying Rev once HoT releases but wanted to get other people’s opinion on just how fun and well designed the class feels. I’m not interested in how powerful the class is compared to other classes; just purely how it feels to play for others.

So how does it rate compared to other classes you’ve played?

Shiro – Polished, fun and useful

Jails – Has potential, but currently not quite there. Hoping to see some good things based on last BWE feedback

Ventari – Unique and interesting. Fun if you like healing builds. Not my cup of tea, but I’m generally impressed with the feel for those who like the style

Mallyx – Lacking flavor and uniqueness after the latest changes. Was tremendously fun in BWE1 & BWE2, rather boring in BWE3. Hoping for some revisions here to bring it back

Glint – Interesting and fun to play with. Very unique mechanic and useful too

Overall – Revenant is unique with energy mechanic and although it has some rough edges it is generally a fun and interesting class. I suspect that button mashers will hate it, high level players may dislike lack of customization (skills are set), but the people in the middle will find it very rewarding.

Revenant is easily the most fun I’ve ever had in GW2.

The combination of micro managing your energy and cooldowns at the same time make it quite active and challenging while the skills and effects are all really freakin cool.

I enjoyed revenant, shiro and glint goes very well with each other, since shiro is all about damage + glint is boons :P

Lots of fun, very easy to learn and strong. I would’ve bought HoT just for this.

Well, I love it, but it depends on what you like. It’s not super-complicated. It also has relatively little customization, which is a turn-off for some people. To me it feels pretty distinct from other professions.
