Please excuse my clutter, I am not that good at writing reviews with good formatting… just writing my thoughts!

Phase smash seems to only work on the same “level” its casting point.

If I stand on a pillar, or the wall of a keep, and cast “Phase Smash” that clearly can target the ground level, or ground level to wall, will just display a “spark” at the same level as your elevation, over where you targeted. it would not hit the enemy unless their hit box “reaches” comes in contact. this makes this move completely useless unless you are… fighting on the same elevation.

Where is the damage? Where is the mobility? A lot of people have complained about this.

Perma swiftness is cool, easy to maintain but no “useful” dash moves thus far. The staff should be renamed the twig, based on damage output, which is so low I originally thought my zerker gear was bugged. I understand.. “healing and support” but seriously…

Weapons:

Hammer 1 is pretty good, range, hits hard, but slow. Skill 2 suffer a mild version of Phase Smash, if you are too far above, it won’t hit below. Skill 4 is… is…. can you blast a dark field? because I cant seem to get it to work… its nice to block projectile and synergies well with 111111111. Skill 5 is way too slow to be really useful in anything outside of a sneak attack or PvE. The damage output is pretty decent.

Mace + Axe, well balanced weapon set… it seems. Condi on 111, fire field 2, blast 3, good combo. 4 is okay…. the only usable gap closer that works. 5… idk, sometimes I don’t notice its effects.

Twig… 1 very stiff animation…. it drops healing orb and heals you for your damage out put… 30 hp or whatever. skill 2 er… okay, similar to.. i think warrior hammer 2 without the damage. skill 3 looks cool, does something, not very memorable or noticeable. Skill 4 works, good condi cleanse and minor heal. Skill 5… quite strong, if you can corner the enemy and cast it therefore you chain 4-5k damage.

Legends

Ventari… is very… annoying and weak. I seem to have to constantly move the stone around to feel like I am doing something but it is just healing. almost like the necro minion healing guy… but doesnt do anything without commanding it. 1st utility is a controlled guardian shield summon, pretty cool and reasonable. 2nd and 3rd skill is like taking Twig 4, separating it and giving it a ~10% boost in efficiency. And the elite is… really… no damage and a small knock back. almost like… you guessed it… STAFF 5.. without the damage.

I think there is room to improve here… maybe.. add one “boon” type utility… that acts as a stunbreaker…. maybe a instant all boons for 3 seconds and a stun breaker and call it “tablets blessing” or whatever. And make the “elite” skill either offer some type of protection or higher damage or some sort of stun or daze.

Mallyx
I don’t mind most of the utilities.. except that unyielding anguish… what the heck, i get into a circle, kick everyone out, then… I cannot get to them because of self cripple. I don’t get this utility at all. nothing else is outstanding and nothing else is too terrible. maybe this skill can be a stun breaker to make it cooler.

Dwarf
pretty kitten good.. except that flying…. pebble on a twig move… doesn’t last long and doesn’t do much damage. and the elite skill… uhm… there is a ((4######)) so I am not entirely sure what this does, casting time can be better as a stun breaker.

if we implement all these extra stun breaker, I think the Revanant can… be a little less prone to getting stuck and then “must” swap legends… and would open up more builds… since you aren’t tied to invocation to get Stun breaker spam with 1 second cooldown.

Energy levels are reasonable, I do tend to run out if i get utility happy, so I think this is a good place to prevent over spamming anything.

traits… while my other characters i have a hard time choosing because I want both traits… with the revenant I have a hard time because I wasnt sure if it would make any difference… and i find it hard to see if some traits would ever be used outside of a joke build.

Thanks for reading my mess! let me know if you agree.. disagree… maybe i am misunderstanding something with the class mechanics… or something. I played for about 2 hours and kinda felt… well kinda wish there is more.
