Guild Wars 2

I have to say that out of ALL of the elite specs and trait lines and skills in this entire game Herald has to be some of the most well designed and creative I have seen. the synergy with other trait lines and skills the class has is nearly perfect. I deeply enjoyed watching and am SUPER DUPER HYPED. who else is feeling the love for the Herlad???

Yeah I really loved how that Elite spec looked. It just might be my favorite Elite spec so far Shiro/Glint looking really good right now. Only issue is condition cleanse…

I liked it. Not very thrilled about the adept line, seems kind of weak on a personal-use basis, but the rest of it seems pretty good. Shield is my biggest sadness. Made to tank/bunker but Shield 5 loses the point.

<3 TY ROY!!! Keep up the fantastic awesome OP work on Revenant! You are appreciated!! <3

Agreed feel so much better about this class right now.

Ugh stuck at work, hope I get to watch at home tonight. Really wanting to see what changes are coming after the last beta event. Have a feeling Roy will make me a happy Char

Yea it looked amazing.

Also, kudos to the art team as well. The fire effect on the skill bar was just beautiful!

No condi cleanse for shiro/glint though. Not without being forced to take things not so great for your dps.

Though at least sword got buffed. Though I didn’t hear anything about offhand sword.

Yeah… That Elite… Best thing in the world… o.O

Glint seems like an amazing overall support. I think everyone will be happy when they see a Revenant in Glint stance, and it has a great combo with the other legends.

Roy also made some really good changes overall, anyone else notice the fury buff to 40% more crit chance?, and the fact that we now have an evade on sword #3.

I think Reveannt might be in a really good place right now.

Yea, the skills had some great effects. I know a lot of people are going to be concerned with the huge effect on the elite though, but I love skills to have flashy effects like that

Really liked the Glint skills, but both the weapon and traits seemed lackluster for me. I’ll definitely be swapping Glint over Jalis for my build though!

Loved the animations on the skill too! Ty!!! <3

After the disappointing Tempest reveal and details it’s pretty exciting to have a class with a cool Specialization and base class.

Roy’s done a fantastic job so far.

Thanks! <3 I’ll be making a post soon with all the BWE feedback changes.

I hope for Shiro heal change. .5 seconds between each heal would be nice

No AOE resistance or condi cleanse. Even on dps guardian I can have multiple aoe condi cleanses, but to achieve similar results on herald we need mallyx.
We really need some condi traits or baseline.

And I don’t really like the ui for f2. Smaller icon like shatters maybe?

Aside from that great job. Loved sword and jalis stuff.

There goes ever wanting to play any other class. The Herald has me so pumped for the expac, along with everything else of course.

If anything, Sigil of Cleansing plus cure condition on Legend swap might be needed… Also, running staff with skill 4 allows for 2 more condition cleansed as well. Hopefully Roy added some condi cleanse to Shiro after feedback though because even with Cleansing sigils and condition cured on legend swap, it’s still pretty weak to condies.

UI is not final for the placement of the F2.

What about the sound effects? The vaccum cleaner shield and the bleargh glint were kinda… lol.

That’s exactly what I mean though about being forced to take things bad for dps. So instead of being able to take the fury heal trait I have to take the stupid condi cleanse on legend swap trait. -_- I’m not going to do that, so I guess I’ll have to go without condi cleanse.

That is one of the changes, you’ll see soon™.

This will make Shiro feel a LOT better… I kept having it actually run off depending on how kitey the enemy was. This will be great.

This just confirms that Roy is in fact our boy

Now that’s good to see our (sometimes intense) discussions were not for nothing!
Glint seems cool, and i was almost right for upkeep costs
Nice underwater combat too.
µI can’t wait to see the complete change list!
Thx a lot Roy! Keep up the good work!

With Facet of Darkness you probably won’t need more fury, but I get your point.
