Guild Wars 2

So I know that HoT just came out and I’m having an absolute blast both in pve and pvp, Maguuma is gorgeous. Love Shiro/Herald – my new main. Anyways due to the nature of elite specs, sooner or later ( and I know in our case we are probably looking at later) the second batch of e-specs is gonna come out.
And I know that it kinda makes more sense to do a ranged weapon spec , seeing as how we only have the hammer – and I’m sure that a longbow legend or something could be awesome . However , I would still love to see a power greatsword spec more – just cause you know , greatswords are awesome. So I was thinking what kind of spells could be used. Up till now came up with some abilities – they are pretty random though .
1- , in a similar fashion how necro gs aa is slightly slower than others , Rev one could be slightly faster , cause the class is kinda fast paced .
2- perform a vertical ‘spin’ attack, repeatedly striking and slowing the opponent
3 – a Rev weapon should have a mist walking ability imho , so this could be something like , turn into mist and dash at your opponent, slashing through the opponent upon impact and applying x condition , 1200range
4 – a horizontal spin attack , heavy AoE dmg with some fancy mist visual
5 – perform a vertical charged up slash dealing heavy damage in a line in front of you and knocking away enemies that are caught by the sides of the attack – think axe 5 but instead of pulling in , pushes away , also slightly larger
So yeah, I believe something like that should make for an interesting skill composition to play around with . Haven’t really managed to come up with utilities that would accompany it nicely , though I think a transform elite would be awesome ( think warriors rampage or necro lich form) , nor the unique f2 or something of that sort .
If anyone has played DMC 4 , something similar to Nero’s devil arm could make for some awesome utilities and would kinda actually go with the class ( channeling powers of legendary deities) and I haven’t really seen anything similar in any mmo.
Anyways what do you guys think ? Any ideas ? This is all very hypothetical discussion , just for the hell of it .

I would be surprised if the next weapon weren’t a ranged condition or hybrid weapon.

theres loads of lore in GW
Palawa Joko would make a great condi spirit
personally i’d love to see a “mischief” spec based around distraction and interrupts, using Gwen as the spirit

I still really think that I would love to see a condition Greatsword elite spec for Revenant. I keep saying Kalla Scorchrazor as the legend too as she wields a greatsword and would offer us another female legend and our very first charr legend! That or…. SPOILERS!

Trahearne would also be awesome for a condition greatsword spec. Actually making it a hybrid condition/power, range/melee weapon like the underwater spear would be freakin awesome and let it synergize with the majority of Revenant builds. Plus it would be awesome communicating with him again and having him be your sidekick this time around. You could still be partners in the fight against the dragons too!

Special mechanic could be calling on the power of Caladbolg for some special effects

too soon Rain, too soon

I wouldn’t be too surprised if either of the you-know-whos in HoT end up as elite specs eventually.

Legendary Ranger Stance
Invoke the power of the legendary ranger Eir Stegalkin

STILL.
TOO.
SOON.

spoilery image of why i’ll miss you-know-who

Everyone stop.

I’ve got the perfect legend!

(Great)Swordmaster FAREN!

(Because legends are not only dead chars, channelling legends is actually channeling their mists’ footprint in history)

If we get any elite spec which channel someone from gw2 i will just pretent that we dindt received elite spec.

Also lol at condi gs. Gs is needed as our 2h aoe melee dps power weapon (and yes i wish to see Artorias moveset on it, espesially that triple somersaults so im biased).
Longbow would be great for condi weapon. I wonder if we ever get hands on rifle tho..

I bet we’ll never get any mechanical wep.
Still i’d really like a rifle shooting mist-y thingies

It’d be neat if they implemented more weapons with the next Elite Specs and gave Revenants a land Spear and something like “Legendary Sunspear Stance” in relation to Kormir. But perhaps it would conflict with having another Realm of Torment Legend since Mallyx resided from it before Kormir did, or maybe not since after GW1, not much is known about the RoT.

Both Kalla Scorchrazor and the SPOILER sound fairly cool , can imagine both playing out nicely.
In responce to the other post though, who is this Artorias you speak of? He sounds exciting as a potential legend

Hes not from GW but he has cool moves in his sword that doesnt resolve around spin2win like everyone else in this game. http://darksouls.wikidot.com/knight-artorias

There’s also the chance of Anet pulling something out of nowhere and giving us a scepter…and access to a Flame Legion Shaman from the past. Do you know how kittened Rytlock would be that he had to rely on Flame Legion magic to take down a dragon?

I’ll accept Legendary Sorcerer so I can start sinking continents below the seas.
