Guild Wars 2

Still a long way from the 2nd set of elite specialization but what would you like to see as the next Elite Spec weapon and what Legend do you think may represent it?

For me I’m going for dagger off-hand or longbow.

dagger off-hand legend being Vizu or Miku.
If it is Vizu it would be interesting if she has some small unique dialogues for having Shiro as your 2nd active Legend.

Longbow legend being Aidan or Keiran Thackeray.
Keiran Thackery may be a bit interesting choice since we know Aidan as a Ranger but Keiran had some unique things going for him in GW1 when we played as him with his own set of unique skills for his bow attacks before he switched to spear and shield being…

Gravestone Marker – his knockback/distance from enemy attack.
Terminal Velocity – his inturrupt/condition attack
Rain of Arrows – his Range AoE attack.
Relentless Assault – condition clense/Posion condition attack.
Nature’s Blessing – his healing skill that also clense conditions.
Sniper Shot- Keiran’s Ultimate attack that does large amount of damage while also inflicting bleed (perfect for the skill 5 longbow skill.)

Another Range option.

Don’t care too much about the weapon, tbh, but the next legend I’d like to see is Snaff. Haven’t really thought about any specific skill sets or traits to better flesh it out. But some kind of minion spec and/or gundam suites. Lots of control aspects too.

Miku? Lol wut? Pretty sure you meant Nika.

Gotta have a greatsword. It pains me to have a main without a greatsword. Please…greatsword.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Miku

Miku was a assassin in GW Faction Epilogue Winds of Change and a side character who aided Keiran to become the leader he would be known in GW history.

Her little brother Ashu is the one who took control of the Ministry of Purity in Cantha and lead them into what forming the Cantha we know in GW2 and it was her aunt Reiko who created the Ministry of Purity serving as the antagonist of Wind of Change before the GW1 hero and Miku defeated her with the aid of Eri of the Jade Brotherhood, Daisuke of the Am Fah, Xin Ji and canthan citizens, and Soar honorclaw and the Tengus, and Zei Ri.

Nika is already a Stronghold Hero so I doubt she would be used which is why I chosen Vizu to replace Nika.

I’d love to see Pyre Fierceshot come back as a legend. He was hands down my favourite character in GW1, just because of how witty he was. His humour is a lot like mine.

We also need a legend that can output Ranged DPS on-par with legends like Shiro and Glint, because currently, everyone can unanimously agree that Melee is the only way for DPS. Considering Pyre was a ruthless archer, he fits the bill in my opinion.

I can guess either being Devona or Kilroy Stonekin for the Legend since two-handed sword did not exist in GW1 but these two characters would fit into the Greatsword theme.

Devona fits well into Greatsword since she was the head in first character in GW1.

However, I really hoping for Kilroy Stonekin because he is a character that would go very well with Greatsword due to his “KIIIIIIIILLLRRRROOOOYYYYY STOOOOOOOOOOONEEKIIIIIN!!” nature.

I actually see Pyre more of a Legend for Shortbow since his character didn’t give off the sniper type of character in GWEotN which is why I chosen Keiran over Pyre for Longbow Legend. Keiran was more of a Longbow Sniper character in EotN for the short amount of time we got to play as him. Pyre for me was mostly that guy who would shoot you pointblank before you knew he had put a arrow in your head type of character and he does that quite well in one of the EotN cutscenes.

Shortbow, if not for revenant then for another class It’s long overdue for another class (same with the annoying Dreamer sound but I personally haven’t heard it that often recently).

Well the weapon that is missing from Revenant’s weapon set is a medium-ranged weapon, sooo…… Short bow or Scepter with a focus on condition damage?

Or anet can always pull a “You see this rifle? (throws some ‘on the table’ magic on it) BOOM! Melee weapon.” and give us a melee weapon as a ranged weapon.

As for the Legends i’m placing my money on Eir, or Pyre Fierceshot for the Short-bow category.

For the Scepter category i’m going with Mad King Thorn, or Master Togo.

The legend I really want is Mad King Thorn though!Can you just imagine the mad cackling when you invoke him.

It’s quite obvious that the new soul will be “Eir Stegalkin” and the weapon will be the LongBow. :p

Ranged Condi weapon, maybe axe?

Main-hand focus for ranged Condi-Base damage. Even though Scepter is essentially a main-hand focus, this will feel like you’re throwing magic out of your hands rather than from a scepter which is cool I guess.

So far, the unspoken rule for elite spec weapons been that they are either a 2hander

or an off hand (only) weapon.

For Revenant I want Dagger either off hand or main if it’s actually good enough in some manner to be taken over Sword. Makes it more sad to reroll from Thief when he can’t use my Incinerator.

condition rifle

Mainhand Dagger! Condi, 600-900 range (similar to ranger mainhand axe)

Longbow, but I have always wanted to make Kudzu and never played a profession that uses it as my main, so I’m biased. Legend could be: Eir, unless she ain't dead.

The way these legends are situated, I’d honestly expect the next legend to be Massive HoT Spoilers here, be warnedTrehearne. After all, he helped revitalize a fallen, currupted continent, then also coordinated and led an army that killed an Elder Dragon, which is something both Glint and Jalis became legends for TRYING EPICALLY to do, but ultimately failing. At the end, he then gave his life to ensure the brain death of a SECOND Elder Dragon. From a lore standpoint, he died as one of the single most influential heroes in Tyria's entire history, if not THE most influential. He was literally instrumental in finally breaking a cycle of destruction and recreation lasting longer than anyone knows. That...Is pretty legendary, and with his time using Caladbolg, Imwould assume you would get a greatsword. Also, I'm reasonably sure Braham burned Ehr's body. She's gone forever. This is the biggest spoiler my lord.

It must sucks playing Revenant knowing that you’ll NEVER get to use Twilight c:

I realy want something ghost rider stuff. With greatsword as a 600-900 range weapon with solid aoe

Hakuryuu.8634:

It must sucks playing Revenant knowing that you’ll NEVER get to use Twilight c:

Twohanded sword is far too overhyped anyways.

If two-handed sword elite spec ever get released you can bet majority of Revy players would only use two-handed sword and that one elite spec for the rest of their GW2 character life and never bother touching any of the future or current elite specs. :p

On topic:
I wonder if they would release a Melee Sceptor Elite Spec for Revy.

Hakuryuu.8634:

Get the Twilight Axe then.

That GS is so overrated though and a really bad movie. :[

Greatsword. I’ve actually started playing my warrior again, on the side, because I miss using greatsword.

For the love of god, Greatsword.

Revenants doesnt need more melee weapons, and Mesmers already claimed ranged greatsword.

A ranged condi weapon is -BADLY- needed. I think the easiest thing would be to add 600 range to the mace. If after all projects a damage field, let it hit along the full part of it.

Condition damage Longbow attacks with Keiran Thackery as the Elite Legend :p

On that note:
Keiran Thackery as the Elite Spec Legend that provide a Condition Damage Long bow would fit since back in GW1 when we played as him he used condition damage for most of his damage with his bow attacks

Though I can’t help but feel that if Keiran became a Elite Spec he would provide Shout abilities to Revy since his character was also a shout support character with him focused more on being in the back while providing buffs to his allies and debuffing his enemies so his allies and himself can do more damage to them.

Anet can also use Keiran’s unique mechanic “Marked” as his Elite Spec special ability. either as something that makes the Marked enemy take more damage from all sources or focus more on taking more damage from the Player him or her self. This would make Marked as a focused fire mechanic for the player.

Scepter
900 Range
Condition Damage
Elite Spec: Lich
Channel Vizier Khilbron

Pair it up with Mallyx and mace to become Abaddon’s newest warrior.

Would be cool to have a great sword, but I feel like scepter would make the most sense

This game feels weird without two handed axe.

GW3 will be out before they add another weapon set to any class.

since i’ve almost crafted Astralaria, i’d say main hand axe for ranged condi builds
I’d keep GS for a melee power 2h build

Condi Shortbow to give the weapon more uses beyond Thief.

Anything ranged and 1 handed.

Vatlaaw Doomtooth.

Greatsword or Longbow, either would be great.

Legend # 1: Razah
Weapon: Scepter
Niche: Communing/spirit spamming which was a viable build in Gw1 and would make it a diverse legend. Considering he came from the realm of torment and is pretty much immortal, it would bring ritualists kind of into the fold.

Legend# 2: Spirits of the Wild
Weapon: Fists ((gauntlet weapons meant for punching or clawing stuff)) Or axe main hand.
Niche: The spirits of the wild are a huge legend, and i feel like they would make for a cool way to bring back Ursan builds from guild wars one as you embody their spirit. This would fit well for when we go to fight jormag considering he killed a ton of them, and could easily bring them or new spirits of the wild into the fold.

Legend# 3: Asgeir Dragonrender
Weapon: Great Axe or Greatsword
Niche: Easily one of the iconic legends from guild wars who injured jormag and left his tooth in hoelbrak for someone to break at the appointed time. This should be someone who embodies the raw ferocity of blitz attacks and overwhemling strength. Probably being similar but completely different to the berserker in the way that their skills are more physical rather than anything else.

Legend # 3: Abbadon
Weapon: Scepter or Dual Dagger
Niche: Dark and brooding, evil and just otherwise malevolent would fit well into their dps range. I feel like it should be something fast but less AoE and more of a single target burst that is meant to easily overwhelm a target. Using the realm of torment it could be the ranged condi build that would easily make up for the mace being the only weapon with decent condi in the game as of now.

Legend # 4: Eir Stegalkan
Weapon: Long Bow/Short Bow
Niche: Either way you slice it Eir is gone and the perfect way to make her death not a complete wash, is the allow the rev to use a bow and get skills centered around her. This could have alot to do with sniping and could be considered a long range spec that out does even the druids staff. Lots of roots and stuns for all to have it would be perfect, using underbrush to go stealth and who knows what else.

Legend # 5: Kormir
Weapon: On land spear?
Niche: A physical combatant who is more based on dashes and overwhelming multiple targets with martial skill. This could grant us the specialty of seeing beyond sight and viewing stealthed foes, meaning that thieves could not simply stealth away? Which would be interesting to see considering how she got to see the unjust nature of someone when she became a god.

Legend # 6: The Six Gods(( Pick one or have a specialization around them all.))
Weapon: I have no clue.
Niche: Again i dont know but i feel the six gods as influential as they are should be considered a legend, specifically because of their massive role in guild wars 1 and how they helped in the end of Nightfall.

Legend # 7: Dhuum ((The god of death before grenth))
Weapon: I foresee potentially dual daggers, or perhaps something new.
Niche: Tons of fears and lots of posion, bleeding and similar nature to the necromancer but to a different degree and to a different feel. More as if you have transformed into a corrupted malformed death god hell bent of destroying anything and everything.

Legend # 7: The Mursaat((Pick one))
Weapon: dont know
Niche: Could be a whole lot of this, http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Spectral_Agony

Legends # 8: The Envoys (( One if not all of them, shiro was once one and they would fit well in the lore considering we dont know to much about them. All we know is that they were influential villains))
Weapon: Depends on what you choose
Niche: I have no freaking clue lol

And finally one of these two, because we have shiro i feel we need to have these guys.

Personally I like the idea of Great Axe with Abadon for symmetry sake.
2H Hammer for power ranged vs. 2H Axe for condi range.
Malix plus Abadon for double demon condi damage specs.

And although I agree GS just feels natural I like that the Revenant uses weapons in very strange ways and I think GAxe fits way to well, and a god of basically demons to match it, perfect solution.

Weapon: Rifle – Condi/CC
Legend: Molachev – Legendary Dredge Stance
Heal Skill:
“Freeeeedoooom“ – Stunbreak, Heal, Stability

Utility skills:
“Coctail“ – Longlasting Firefield, inside allies are healed and immun to immob, cripple and chill
“Down with the Ursurpers“ – Stunbreak, knockdown and immob on enemie in range
“For the Moleteriat!“ – Superspeed, Vigor, Stability to allies in range

Elite:
“Revolution!“ – Boon Corruption on enemies, Condition to Boon conversion on allies+Resistance

Keep in mind a Revenant legend has to be someone who has left a huge impression on the Mists through their actions. Each of our current legends have had a huge impact on a societal level. I don’t see Thackeray becoming one. Or Eir for that matter. I doubt we’ll be getting Vizu since we already have a Canthan assassin Legend.

Pyre Fierceshot is a good candidate as he started the rebellion that would go on to completely change the Charr Legions forever. I feel a shortbow would fit him the best, and the Revenant need another ranged option.

I’d LOVE a Mad King Thorn legend, likely with a scepter mainhand or torch offhand. Heavy conditions and control. The utilities for the legend could involve “Mad King Says” lines as shouts.

Mad King Says: Cower!: AoE fear plus Torment stacks.

Mad King Says: Laugh!: AoE confusion stacks on anyone standing near the Revenant and forces enemies to /laugh.

Mad King Says: Applaud!: AoE daze and forces enemies to do the /applaud emote.

The Elite could trap a single targeted enemy inside a block of candy corn where they cannot attack or be attacked for say, 10 seconds. Takes them out of the battle. Or maybe summon a candy corn elemental to fight for you.

Legends can take many forms but I don’t think their actions size is what matters but the actions they done to earn a place as Legends.
Mallyx, for example, had a role as a endgame boss being the final fight against the remaining Margonites but he never gone beyond the realm of torment to actually affect the world but just enough to be remembered for his actions.

Mallyx had an immense societal impact. Just not on Tyria. Remember, he was the last bastion of resistance against a literal god. He pulled together the remnants of the Margonite army and drew legions of terrible demons and monsters to his service. His impact was on the Mists themselves as he was powerful enough to draw Mist dwelling creatures from it to serve him.

Beyond that he himself was a being of great and terrible power. Arguably the most powerful of the Legends we have save for perhaps Glint.

Keiran was a good soldier and a good leader, but his largest accomplishment as a hero was being one of many soldiers fighting the White Mantle in the Kryta civil war. His impact in the lore as Gwen’s romantic interest and eventually birthing Logan’s family line is his biggest contribution to the world. It isn’t what I’d consider worthy of being put on the same level as characters like Mallyx, Shiro Tagachi, or even Ventari.

Eir similarly hasn’t done much on that level. Maybe if Destiny’s Edge had succeeded in killing Kraalkatorrik it’d be different, but in the grand scheme of things her life hasn’t had that large of an impact on anything.

Of the Destiny’s Edge characters, I’d suspect Snaff as being the best choice for a Legend as his designs did revolutionize golemancy as the asura know it today, which is a huge part of every asura’s day to day life. He’s also one of the very few asura that is venerated with such awe and passion that I’d feel comfortable describing him as a cultural hero.

Vizier Khilbron would probably be a better bet for a condi themed ranged legend, using scepter. Arguably Mallyx and Abbadon would hit too similar notes, both being torment focused.

Khilbron was responsible for so much woe, destroying a huge charr army, then sinking Orr. And finally his misadventures as the undead lich.

Necros pretty much have nabbed the whole Dhuum/Reaper trope, using their greatsword that turns into a scythe in shroud. So I dont think they want to copycat that ontop Revs.

I do like that Kilbron with sceptre, but I think Abbadon would do nicely too, he could be fire poison bleed weakness cripple anything at all doesn’t have to be torment although ranged torment application would also be perfect in my opinion.
For aesthetic I am thinking no projectiles instead massive strikes with great axe as if the opponent is right beside you, but the hit animation is copied over to the target also.

I don’t see us getting Abaddon as a Legend. It’d be strange to have two characters as closely linked to one another as Abaddon and Mallyx are.

Khilbron would work well though. While Mallyx focuses more on torment Khilbron would have a heavy focus on poison and life stealing to both weaken the enemy’s ability to heal while siphoning health from them. Could be paired with Mallyx for a strong condi build or Shiro for a strong life stealing build. Could also throw in some undead minion skills that create swarms of life stealing temporary minions like the jagged horrors.

And of course the elite skill could be “The Cataclysm”. A huge AoE attack that pulls enemies into the AoE, does heavy direct damage while stacking poison, and summons a small swarm of undead creatures on the final pulse.

I would love to see a poison spewing short bow.

For the legend it would obviously have to be Zhaitan… Is the elder dragon not the ultimate condi legend? Could even take a leaf out of the necro book and add some summoned minions as the utility skills.

Greatsword obviously with Artorias from Dark Souls as a legend. I know, i know..wont happen. Rifle would be also interesing choise as atm only 2 classes can use that (and on warrior it just..sux). Whatever next wep/legend is i hope to get a skill similiar to spear 5/lines of warding.

I think Bonfaaz Burntfur would make a great legend. His actions can still be seen just by pressing M and having a look at Ascalon. Since he was an elementalist he’s another contender for scepter (or focus). Though, since he was fire themed, we can also argue for a torch. I’ll use torch for this idea because I’d really like to see scepter being given to Wesir Lich Khilbron.

The unique mechanic would be overcast, which turns an area of the Revenant’s energy bar grey, so the maximum energy is limited. The grey area retreats at a constant rate of 2/s.
As for the skills… Why not take a copy of the skills he had in the Nolani Academy mission?

Aura of Restoration: Cost 5, For 60 seconds the Revenant has +2 energy regeneration (this can increase the regen to 7) and is healed for 50hp for each energy point spent when activating an ability.
Conjure Flame: Cost 10, Regen -6, The Revenant’s attacks cause a flame burst on each hit, dealing damage in a small area.
Flare: Cost 5, Send out a flare that deals damage to the target foe and applies Revealed and Blind for 3sec. If the Revenant is overcast it hits everyone in an area around the target instead.
Lava Font: Cost 10, Places an aoe on the ground for 5 seconds where the Revenant stood that deals damage and cripples foes. If the Revenant is overcast, the area is bigger.
The Searing: Cost 100, Overcast 75, The Revenant puts down a Cauldron of Cataclysm and for 7 seconds there’s a second searing in a huge area around it, knocking enemies around and dealing massive damage and burning.

Torch 4: Glowing Coals: Cost15, Overcast 5, Creates a field of glowing coals for 5 seconds in front of the Revenant that removes Chilled from allies and deals damage to foes. Foes that are crippled will be immobilised for 1 second. Leaves a smoke field for 2 seconds when the effect ends, that blinds foes each second.
Torch5: Meteor Shower: Cost 25, Overcast 10, Create a Meteor Shower for 9 seconds at the target location, spawning a meteor every 3 seconds, that deals massive damage and knocks foes down for 2 seconds.

I want a Master Togo legend that adds Spirit Rift from GW1 on either a weapon skill or legend skill.

I would love a main hand pistol. Not sure of a legend to match it as I never played GW1 to know all the lore. Maybe from Snaff as someone suggested earlier?

Either way, I love the idea of pistol/shield that engies enjoy. Such a cool combination of weapons you don’t see elsewhere.
