Guild Wars 2

I have a Solution for improving the Revenant’s performance as well as their customization. Give Legends more Skills to pick from.

the best solution is to give Legends more abilties to choose from. Doesnt need to be a lot more. simply a few additions, that maybe change the combat element of the legend.

Example:

Centaur

-Could have a skill that AoE roots around the Tablet and transfer health from the victim to allies near the Revenant.

-another skill can provide pulses of healing, while providing random boons

-Another skill could cripple enemies and damage them over time with pulses.
——————————————————————————————-
Dwarf

-Could have a skill that summons a Dwarf minion with heavy CC and upkeep that deals good damage while transferring partial damage to the revenant to itself.

-another skill could be a Storm Weapon Conjure that changes the weapon of the Revenant into a Storm Weapon with additional skills and require upkeep.

-another skill is a AoE Damage skill that summons a Lighting Hammer and Spin around similar to Warrior Axe 5 skill for 4 seconds.
—————————————————————————————-

Demon

-could have a skill that functions as a close range melee attack that increase the duration of conditions while healing allies for percentage of the damage.

- another skill could transform the Revenant for upkeep cost into a monster that does some new skills.

- another skill could summon a stationary ritualist spirit that attacks enemies and buff allies.
——————————————————————————————
I could go on, but with skills like this, and the option to change them into the Legend skill line up, would help greatly in giving Revenant’s more customization to builds while keeping the Legend mechanic system.

I like it^^
It brings more customization and even adds synergy between legends.
For exemple, if you want to make a condition damage built, you have mallyx but other legends have no synergy with it unless there are some condition skill alternative on them.
I think conjure weapon is a good alternative to the weapon switch that lots of us want.
Some breaks stun would be nice too^^

I was suggesting this too, we need more options with our legends

I’d be in favor of having added and selectable utility skills on rev as a way to increase build diversity. But I don’t know if variance in utility skills would address the melee/range concerns other players have. It is reasonable to have some sort of conjure weapon like the OPs upkeep storm weapon. I just don’t know if its more of a Band-Aid for the whole class mechanic or a true robust way to add balanced variety to the class.

i like this suggestion too – may i add to this? give revenants the ability to switch to racial skills too :/

Guys, the ability to switch utility skills is there, there just are only 3 skills right now, cuz this is an unfinished class (beta remember?)

This does seem like it would solve a lot of issues – even the range thing if done right, mantra of pain is a good example of a utility that can work as an autoattack. Jalis’ hammers sorta do the same thing in reverse, boosting a ranged weapon when in melee range. They could already be planning it given you can select from the existing skills, but it’s hard to tell.

The numbers add up too, with an elite spec elite classes will have 33 utilities + heals + elites (or at least mesmer will) – but with just 5 legends rev would fall quite a bit short at 25…

Unfortunatly that works both ways, the ability to was utilities could be there as a leftover function not tidied up because its in beta.

Though i do hope your right we need more options!

So far Anet said that was their to allow Revenant to move around skills on utility bar.

This. It’s a simple “keybind” option to allow you to configure the 3 utilities in a way that is comfortable for you. It does not mean there are more utilities coming.

But, I suppose there could be. Just don’t be surprised if they aren’t.

I suggested this in a thread too. Great minds think alike. I think this would allow for a lot more build diversity because even with the one remaining core legend and the elite legend Revnants feel lackluster. Based on this weekend the dps legend will pretty much be mandatory unless they make some changes (which I am sure they will).

Though I believe the elite should be static and maybe the heal. Just give us a total of 6 utilities to choose from.

My thoughts as well, id like to see at least 5 utilities to choose from preferably 6, a choice of heal skills would be nice (2 per legend?) and a static elite tied to the legend.

I agree, and as far as the extra balancing and work, every other class has 20 utility skills already so it would just bring revenant up to the level of other classes.

I really started to like Mallyx legends because of unique mechanics concentrated around condition managment in “Now we’re both in big trouble – I’ve got number of conditions and you got number of conditions – let’s see who will survive this” style, and I would be very happy if they add more skills to make gameplay more interesting .

In my opinion Revenant looks promising.

give weaponswap and buff current skills (including weaponskills), plus more stunbreakers and swiftness.

No need for customizable skills, it would wipe out the class base. Those are not your skill, those are the legend skills. And you’d need to recustomize them everytime you equip a legend (unles they implement a way to remember them, wich they won’t)

Hey I thought it would be fun to make some skill ideas for the Revenant’s Legends like I did in the OP.
Just for fun of discussion.

Dwarf (Legend)

Conjure Mountain StormAxe (Utility)- conjure a Great Axe of Lighting and Rock(Hammer modeled into Great axe thats all) with 5 Weapon Skills of its own. Cost Upkeep for use.

Call of the Dolyak Rider (Utility) – summon a Dolyak Dwarf Rider minion to fight to protect you while providing support and damage. Upkeep cost. Dolyak Rider transfers part of the damage taken by the Revenant,to itself using Shielding Hands. Also Heals nearby allies when it deals melee damage.
