I’m gonna try to be as concise as possible!

What I loved! (Likes:)

Legendary Assassin Stance aka. Shiro Stance: All the utility skills + elite were fantastic. Enchanted Daggers seemed a bit weak on the healing side and I feel like Riposting Shadows (the evade) costed a bit too much energy to use frequently. (This could help out with the hard-to-stay-alive mantra I’ve read on other peoples feedback).

Legendary Demon Stance aka. Mallyx Stance: LOVE! Everything is useful! Especially in pvp! It was almost shocking how effective it is at countering people who were condition users. I felt like a signet necromancer on steroids and I felt GLORIOUS! In PvE I found it less useful overall.

Legendary Dwarf Stance aka. Jalis Stance: I like it! The stability road was useful in many situations. Vengeful Hammer was my go-to skill for tagging mobs in PvE while using melee weapons! Forced Engagement seemed less useful to me. I barely used it in both PvE or PvP due to the high energy cost and short duration. Soothing Stone is a really good heal.

Weapons: Hammer—GlORIOUS! I loved the hammer both in PvP and PvE. Hits like a truck while using a power based build. I rarely used Field of the Mists, but I think because I often forgot about it. Mace/Axe—GLORIOUS! Axe has amazing utility regardless of what build your running. Using a condition build, these two weapons shine bright like a diamond. (no copyright intended) There was one problem I had with this weapon set that will be addressed later. Staff—I liked it. All the skills were useful (besides staff 2) especially Surge of the Mists. It does a surprising amount of damage.

What I did NOT love! (Dislikes:)

Chronomancer: The fact the chronomancer was GLORIOUS in every aspect I can imagine made me neglect Revenant a bit. (lol) It’s just…so so so awesome, I cannot even give feedback on it cause I will scream.

Legendary Centaur Stance aka. Ventari Stance: I tried to like this so much. I just…didn’t. It felt very slow to me. Especially Project Tranquility. Keeping up with this thing was a headache. Also I didn’t see how I can make this stance work without some healing power+ gear. I just…don’t know. Maybe it’s a learn to play issue? Who knows!

Traitlines: Some of the traits lines seemed…weak? Pigeonholed maybe is the word I’m looking for. They don’t really feel as fluid and game-changing as some of the other professions (cough) mesmer/chronomancer/fanboy scream. Also some of the traits (example-Venom Enhancement) only affect one thing. The third strike of a mace has poison, but that’s about it (if I remember correctly). I would maybe change it to Chaos Enchancement, make mace third auto-attack inflict confusion, and it would also affect Banish Enchantment utility skill, as well as Spontanous Destruction. Cool idea right!? RIGHT!? Welp…I tried.

Weapons: Don’t hate me, but…I wasn’t a die hard fan of the SwordsMainhand sword auto attack was ok. Great in fact when paired with Impossible Odds; however, Percision Strike and Unrelenting Assault seemed a bit weak? Well let me clarify. Sword 2 felt weak. Sword 3 felt okish damage wise, but completely unsafe. Especially in PvP where people are looking to snipe your hit points as soon as possible. Also when Sword 3 finished, you just kinda stand there. Let’s have us continue auto-attacking after maybe! Offhand sword I didn’t use very much because of the GLORY of axe offhand. (lol) Staff—The auto attack healing orbs were extremely hard to see and didn’t last long at all. Maybe change this in the future? Punishing Sweep should be totally overhauled. It is completely boring. I have no suggestions cause…welp I’m getting tired actually.

Condi Revenant: I LOVE CONDITION BUILDS! I’m not gonna lie, power builds usually bore me, but they have their uses. Revenant as a whole seems more power based from what I’ve played. Mace/Axe is glorious and wonderful, but I had a hard time picking a second weapon set. None of the other weapon sets have synergy with mace/axe. I tried sword with its vuln stacking; also staff…but they both just felt useless? I hit like a wet noodle basically is what I’m saying…so I just stuck to mace/axe set to do any decent damage. Maybe Glint will fix this issue? Who knows!

I hope my thought process was easy(ish) to follow and a little bit helpful! Can’t wait to see what happens with the Revenant!

Ok that’s it! Bye bye for now! xD
