Guild Wars 2

Could the Invocation Adept3, Empty Vessel, be made a Grandmaster, or at least the instant swap portion be added to one of the other selections? I think the invocation line has some nice benefits, but I think the instant swap is a bit too powerful for an Adept.

Not only that, what if someone likes the rest of the traits but don’t want to see the animation of swapping to disappear.

I disagree entirely, it’s a great utility trait but it’s far from Overpowered, having an instant legend swap and a stun break is a good passive but it’s nothing I would cry about being “too strong” I mean compare it to the minors on some of the other classes,

Warrior Strength: “Stick and move” gain a flat 10% damage bonus when endurance is not full

Thief Deadly Arts: “Exposed Weakness” gain a flat 10% damage bonus if your foe has a condition

Need I go on? Also missing the “animation” isn’t really a valid point, if you miss the animation just don’t run invocation, the other trait lines are just as good

It would be terrible if on other profession weapon swap wasn’t instant, even DS is an instant transformation. Switching legend on revenant is their weapon swap. I pretty think the imablance, here, is that they need a trait to make it instant.

Insta swap should be baseline. Unlike everyone else, you cant even switch stance under cc. While attacking you have to wait a good 1 second que to switch legend.

Training for it makes no sense from the balance point when everyone else can do the same without being forced to pick up an trait

I wasn’t really trying to make it a valid point honestly. It was more of a personal preference point. Love the rest of the traits, but losing the animation isn’t too nice. Again, just personal preference.

Regardless, the trait is bad anyways. Revenant shouldn’t be forced to switch Legends for a stun break. Stun breaks need to be elsewhere and in more of on demand use, such as with utility skills. Place the instant swap on one of the Grandmaster traits, and then rework the adept, imo.
