Guild Wars 2

Hi fellow revs!

I’ll start saying this is an idea I came up with randomly, and I know it requires far too much work to actaully implement it. But still, I wish the revenant class could work like this.
So don’t take it as an actual proposal, it’s just for fun.

That being said, I’ll try to be concise.

I think rev should have been a fighter with his own skills, adding the power of the legends to his own.
To be more pratical (6a and 6b are exclusive alternatives):

1. An energy bar like we have now is fine, with regeneration pipes
2. Skills with normal cd and no energy cost
3. A normal pool of utilities (maybe we could tie the elite with the attuned legend? don’t know)
4. Legends becomes toggles (2 equipable at once like we have now is fine)
5. Activating a legend stop energy regeneration and removes cd on skills, adding an energy cost (only utilities if this is op)
6a. Activating a legend adds a secondary effect the rev skills (only utilities is this is op too)
6b. Activating a legend replace the current utilities with a legend premade set (the ones we have now)
7. Maybe a special f3 skill that change based off the current active legend?
8. When the energy bar is empty, the legend is off until it’s activated again

This would make reventants more diverse, and I think it would add depth to the legends choice (because it’s combined with the utilities choice too).

Now, why this is impratical:
1. Utiliies have to be created
2. Every new legend would need new effects for all the skills (or at least utilities), and this requires work to think them and a lot more work to balance them
3. Is a change so big that it would demand to balance everything from scratches

We could use current utilities and modify them to make the point 1 easier, or we could replace the equipped utilities with the legend sets (as we have them now) when the legend is toggled to resolve point 2. (point 6b)

But still, it’s too much work for it to be done.

But this is for fun so… What do you think?
