Here is my take on ritualist. The ranged weapon is a mh ranged dagger and the mechanic can be called either power infusion or double invocation and it involves using the power of 2 legendary characters into 1 stance.

Here are a few combinations I thought off
Legendary Centaur Stance infused with Demonic Power – this turns Ventari’s tablet into an Effigy of Malyx which is used to act as a ranged condi weapon.The healing skill will apply 1 stack of resistance to nearby allies – because it will be spamable as kitten. Effigy will not heal stuff.

Legendary Centaur Stance infused with Dwarven Magic – this turns the tablet into a cc-breaking machine that deals some damage but no longer heals.

Legendary Assasin Stance infused with Demonic Power – a very mobile condi powerhouse. – the skills here will trigger both demonic defiance and nefarious momentum.

I’d Much prefer them using the Dervish’s Teardown mechanic than trying to shoehorn Spirits into a profession that CLEARLY doesn’t have any functional abilities with such a summon.

The Teardown mechanic would actually function extremely well with upkeep skills.

I think it was already used for Glint.

Nope. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Upkeep that was used for glint.

I was refering to the skills that become available after poping up the facet – sorry I should have been more explicit.

Thanks to you my view on Herald changed – I know see it as a mix of upkeep with teardown from GW1 (a game I did not play) – you maintain upkeep on facets,then tear down the facets for some spell.

flash enchantments and teardown often used skills that had no passive effect while they where active. I suppose I could see that, but many many skills have a flip version so the connection isn’t quite there for me.

But that’s cool. I rather like Revenant as a whole, just wish it didn’t lag so far behind the other professions in terms of options.

I am not happy with Revenant as a whole though, it’s too dependant on the elite spec. I hope to see more improvements to core Revenant (especialy towards Salvation & Coruption traitlines and Jallis)

then need more options. They have the fewest skills out of any profession and they’re tied with Thief for available weapons. Thief makes up for It with their dual skills and the fact that thief has one more main hand weapon than Revenant.

In my opinion, it honestly doesn’t matter how much they improve the legends, they can only make them so good in favor of balance and because of that the biggest killer of the revenant profession is going to be stagnation. Which the revenant will suffer from this problem far quicker than any other profession.

Basically I’m more worried that the revenant will become boring. Its the problem that plagued the Paragon. its not like they where useless in GW1, they where useful but they only had 1 or 2 good builds and people got bored of them. Including myself. So the player base that still played them dropped pretty low.

Future elite specs will give Revs their needed options. For the moment we can work with what we have.

There are so many open possibilities for next Rev elite spec at the moment: Ranged condi, ranged power (though hammer is already quite powerful but the Devastation traits have weak synergy with it), bruiser, opening range healing a bit maybe….

Umm no we can’t. It’s herald or burst….even in the case of condi rev, because mobility is cheaper on Glint compared to what Shiro offers (35 energy pt – kitten that).

If you have invocation that means a stunbreak on 10s cooldown…..

If you have retribution you should grab enhanced bulwark (herald grandmaster) and that provides the best stability access in gw2. Leadership runes help too.

If you dont run either traitline, your build is bad.

anything with greatsword so I can use my twilight. lol.

I wish we got daggers. Main hand dagger as condi/hybrid ranged (being our condi ranged option as many people want) and offhand as something similar, but maybe even more hybrid. We have a ranged hammer, we could also have ranged daggers.
So we could go with these new weapon combinations:

Sword/dagger as power
Mace/dagger as condi
Dagger/dagger or any other OH thar we have as condi, hybrid or power.

But actually I would like any weapon that could go both in the main hand as the offhand, to increase the lack of weapon options that we have. Sword, mace and axe we already have in both hands or one, so I would choose dagger so we could have both of them new.

Greatsword could be cool too just for the looks. And about the theme, one more dervish-y I would enjoy. But one more ritualist with summon AI I would hate. kitten AI.
