Looking up some GW lore I noticed that Shiro had constructs with bows. I think that would be interesting and beneficial to give Revenant access to long and short bows in the future considering there is only one ranged weapon available.
Thoughts?

eh bows are usually bad dps with the exception of ranger longbow
If it’s the same as dragon hunter id take hammer any day :P I actually dont see how a bow could be better than the hammer, it would have to offer something new, and currently the hammer is quite unique in that regard.

I feel the same hammer is just better. There just isn’t any new spin on how to use bows that they haven’t used already (fire lb on warrior,bounce shots thief, fast shots/condi ranger sb, distance ranger lb). If we are talking about a ranged condi weapon (considering hammer is power) I think a ghostbuster theme rifle would be sweet but even then they’d find some way to make it suck. I think I’ll just stick with hammer for now.

Hammer is a cool range weapon. (And unique too since no other classes use Hammer as range weapon)
Plus Hammer actually out-damage LB rotation if you spam 2 on CD (Roy buffed the Hammer damage coefficient like 20%~30% or more post BWE 1, which is huge)
LB of ranger is a burst-type one trick Pony burst, while Rev’s hammer is about sustain high dps with lots of utility.
Revenant has to avoid being in the trend and be as unique as possible.
If Revenant going to get LB, it should be melee weapon.
I see a lot of awesome ideas for long range condition weapon and the corresponding legends. What I am curious about is whether or not you guys think they would implement it as a new elite spec or if they would simply add it on it’s own. Is there a precedent for such a thing?
there’s a spin on bows we’ve not seen yet: time-bows :P
the autoattack fires a mist-arrow and does a small amount of damage but gives a stacking debuff on the target, the #2 skill consumes that debuff, opens a portal to the mist, and releases REAL versions of those arrows that do double the damage of an equivalent number of arows fired (eg, if each arrow did 500 damage, and you got kittens, the #2 hit would do 5k).
crazy high risk/reward and burst and completely different to any bows we’ve seen up to now
I’d like to see Bow as a condition weapon focused more on ground targetted AoEs. Sort of like Mortar Kit on Engineers. And pair it with Wells.
That’s pretty much what Revenant lacks in terms of attack types. It’d be best as a second or third generation elite spec as it goes “against” the design of a mobile fighter to a long-range arcane archer.

Greatsword – Just because the majority of people seem to want it
MH Dagger – Ranged condition weapon option, since apart from mace a revenant doesn’t have another MH condition weapon
Also because throwing knives YES
Indeed.
I really hope for
GS: melee 2h power (is standard i know)
LB: ranged 2h condi (standard too)
Dmh: ranged mh condi
Unfortunately since we have left just GS/LB/SB we can just swap them around for melee/ranged to have something unique…melee bows feel really awkward to me (another story is trowing magic stuff with melee weapons).
I’d like to see dagger as a short-med ranged condi weapon.
I really just want to throw daggers
Axe would be much cooler… Dual wielding Axel for condition!
See I never thought about axe mainhand because I always thought it’d be similar to ranger. But now that you mention dual wielding axes, it’d be cool if mainhand axe worked kinda like guardian staff, attacking in a cone but applying condis instead, with some sort of mist scar effect or something like the offhand.
