  • Remove current F1. Instead, F1 invokes Jalis; F2 Mallyx, F3 Shiro, and F4 Ventari. Yep, just like an elementalist’s element buttons. By default, pressing the F-key of the legend you’re already channelling does nothing.
  • With an elite spec equipped, F5 invokes your elite legend. While you’re channelling that legend, the other F-keys flip to the old F-key bindings (F2 facet of nature for Glint, F2-F4 citadel orders for Kalla). F1 flips them back to the standard legend buttons so you can choose which to swap to. F5 becomes an ability that returns you to the last legend you used.
  • Since I just buffed the kitten out of revenants by giving them access to every legend at once, remove weapon swap.
  • Tune for balance by altering weapon swap cooldown time (or lack thereof) and how much energy is charged when you swap.

Low (relatively) dev effort! Restores the original class design (no weapon swap)! Fixes our lack of access to condition cleanses! And… well, let’s be honest, it’s probably a terrible, stupid idea, like many ideas that seem elegant when first conceived turn out to be. Never mind, eh?

No. That sounds awful.

Let go of the past. Weapon swap is here to stay.

And the problems brought with it are here to stay as well. It needs to go.

Changing legend has nothing to do with weapon swap. Revenant is not elementalist and switching to Jalis doesn’t make you magically ranged. Being able to go from melee to ranged and vice versa is needed for any class including Revenant, so give it an extra skill to conjure a weapon or keep weapon swap.

After 2 years please stop being kitten about it.

All of it. And would take months to implement, time that could be spent by fixing the small issues instead of basically making a new class

I think Kidel’s answer covered it pretty well.

Adding weapon swap was a tack on fix done in an attempt to remedy some of the classes core issues without actually addressing them. Now, 2 years later, we still have those issues like before, only now our weapon sets have been butchered along with them. It’s not about just being able to go from ranged to melee by swapping weapons, that’s not the point, especially when rev’s had only one ranged weapon for those two years. It’s that it was a lazy fix that seemed to help in the short term, but in the end lead to numerous OTHER issues that could have been avoided while never solving anything.

Taking away weapon swap won’t solve everything, but it’s a -start-. Or we can keep heading in the direction we’re going in and keep spinning our wheels while whining about problems a lot of people asked for that they shouldn’t have been given.

Weaponswap is necessary.

Otherwise you end up with ele where the melee options are kitten because you can’t poke or retreat to range while you heal up and maintain pressure.

They would have to make rev hammer do melee levels of damage to ever make people want to use it if we couldn’t weaponswap out of it in PvE.

I’m perfectly ok with that.
