Guild Wars 2

Elite Spec Name: Soul Reaver
Weapon: Great Axe
New Skill Type: Olias legend, the hand of judgment

Mechanics:
F2: Soul Harvest – turn your weapon into an Soul Harvester, changing your weapon skills into a new set of skills while the skill is upkeep. Soul Harvest skills dont use Energy. Skill 5 can generate energy when used properly.

F3: Spirit Bound – commune with death summoning a chained spirit at targeted location. Spirit’s health and duration is based on your amount of energy at the casting of this effect. The Spirit’s effect and skills are determined based on what legend you are using when casted.

Legend Skills:
Olias-

Heal Skill- Soul Drain: channel the soul from the target, damaging them while healing you and nearby minions of yours. Traited can heal nearby allies for a percentage.

Utilities- Minions
Each Legend Utility summons forth a minion to fight alongside you. These function as chain skills that can be consumed. These cost upkeep.

Elite- Realm of Grenth- Channel a gate from the realm of Grenth, unleashing a horde of death to ravage your enemies.

Sounds interesting but it would probably be greatsword instead of a brand new weapon type.

Sounds kind of death knight-ish.

Speaking of WoW classes, I’d love to have a demon hunter-esque elite spec for revenants involving dual axes or maybe even dual greatswords or something.

Revenant is a really visual class with a lot of neat almost phase-shifting abilities that I feel would work really well with a high mobility agile assassin profession.

It’s difficult to figure out what niche they might want to cover with revs next because they already have a decent condi build, a tanky build, a healer build even though it’s clunky and I hardly see anyone using it, and your standard melee build.

They definitely don’t have many ranged options though, so I can definitely see how a spirit summoning kind of range build would be a possibility.
