Guild Wars 2

Need to know for certain…
If you buy HoT and make a brand-new Revenant, can you use the included “Max Level Boost” to instantly have a level 80 Revenant? …just making sure they didn’t put a restriction on the new class relating to the max level boost or anything.

Also, am I reading this right that the Standard Edition of HoT doesn’t include a character slot? If so, that totally sucks… basically increase the price of the expansion by $10 just because I made one of each profession in my 8 slots when I bought the original game way back when. Kinda weak…

Thanks in advance for any info!

Yes you can, I bought HoT recently and boosted a revenant.

Revenant can be boosted with the included level 80 boost from buying HoT, but keep in mind that the elite specilization: Herald, will still remain locked until you acquire enough Hero Points.

The standard edition of HoT does not include a character slot unless you bought the expansion as a pre-order for a special promotion awhile back. Basically yes, you will need to buy a new slot or delete an old toon if you wish to make a new revenant on your account.

How many hero points does it take to unlock the new specialization at 80?
How many hero points does it take to unlock and fully fill-out (complete) the new specialization at 80?

5 or 10 and 250. Each core HP is 1 hero point, each HoT HP is worth 10.

Elite Specs are instantly unlocked in spvp to further try before you buy.
