Guild Wars 2

Okay, for the most part the damage is very good. Hammer right where it needs to be. Staff is pretty good other than auto attack. s/s is decent. What I will add immediately to suggestions is energy management. Holy good mother, the energy is eaten quite quickly. I used revenant for a decent amount of time. And the first thing i noticed is that I used a dodge back skill and there goes my energy. And then I get face rolled by every profession very easily. After energy is balanced out to where you aren’t at risk of dying the second you even use an ability then I will say, they will be mobile and they already hit hard. It will be an easier time balancing the class after that. You will see more players enjoy the different mobility the class has potential to use, also you will be able to use spiking combos that will drive this profession to be a truly scary opponent. Let me know your thoughts.

I agree there are some problems with the energy cost of some skills. So for example a stunbreaker that costs 35% of the energy is just well how do I put it …useless. You start with 50% use 1,2 weaponskill 2 secs of an upkeepskill and bap not enough energy to use your stunbreaker. So you either say okay then I don’t play with one or don’t use anything so you have it. Because as soon as you start using ANY of your utilitys you will end up with not enough to use it….
Additional rev really needs some condiremovel. There are several ways anet could do that I would recommend some sort of trait that you lose a condi when using a skill with energy cost. Give it a not to harsh internal. I even give the trait to replace 2 secs of retail on dodge just add that and then it’s usefull. If you think that’s not it start to give some utilitys condiremove there is nearly nothing against condis other then on 0 dmg or heal for yourself ventary.

i think something to be done with elite skill and channel skill.

i mean …. i don’t even want to use elite skill really. …

it’s not worth losing energy for …. ( pvp )

Yeah, I never bothered with the elite skill on malyx and only used the one on shiro to escape and heal. Otherwise, the energy cost is not worth the overall gain.

I actually find Revenant has a fairly decent amount of anti-condition options. Some removal, not a huge amount but Jalis heal, eluding nullification, purifying essence; there are options.
The real anti-condi power for revenant isn’t so much in removal as it is in resistance and going into mallyx and corruption you can actually get quite a lot of it.

Energy-wise I’m also not a fan though; it isn’t far off from where it should be, but as it is now I just don’t see what the upside is of having to deal with this extra mechanic.
It’s not like a thief that can just choose between blowing it all in a huge burst or go for more sustained dps.
At the moment it mostly makes me feel like there’s some utilities I will just never use and forcing me to blow one of our only stunbreakers (switch legend) to regain energy feels like too high a price.

The reason for energy is quite simple.
Legend skills (not customizable) -> customization choosing 2 legends (10 skills) -> energy added for less spam.

I’m not a fan of energy on ws however. I mostly spam AA. But I get it’s there to incentivize legendswap.

Energy also allows for upkeep and no cd on 6-0 skills, both new concepts in gw2.
