[Suggestion] Elite Spec: Ritualist (Revenant)
Here are the GW1 spirits to give you some ideas. Obviously they would work a lot different in GW2 to be balanced.

There’s a LOT of them so we can never really get them all in GW2, but we can get a lot of the main ones like Bloodsong, Shelter/Union, etc. Others could also be turned into traits, such as Agony and Destruction.
Also here are the weapon spells from GW1 which I think are also good material for trait ideas.

Interestingly Splinter Weapon already exists in GW2 and is used by the Jade Bow enemies added in recent patches. I really loved that skill and it was a bread and butter DPS ability back in the day.
I really want to see Binding Chains used as the scepter 3 skill. Also I would love to see skills like Spirit’s Strength and Soul Twisting used as inspiration for traits.
To be fair, I think ritualist should be the 5th core legend. The revenant needs more skill variety, and going by numbers, it’s far far below the rest of the professions.
In general I just wish the revenant had been focused on original ritualist much more, instead of being a nostalgia dump :/.
M: Bladedancer – N: Scourge – En: Occultist – Ra: Swampstalker
T: Sharpshooter – G: Sunspear – Re: Hierophant – W: Corsair
This is the end all be all of legendary stances for me. Give me three spirits in 7-9 (bloodsong, anguish (maybe scaling damage based on foe’s conditions?), disenchantment (boon strip), etc.), 6 could be some healing spirit, elite would be Signet of Spirits.
