I really want to see support work for revenant because the dps role is over saturated by so many other classes. Support in a unique way can really give the revenant an identity. Here are some general ideas I had for allowing “support” to be competitive from a damage perspective:
1.) Trait that allows rev to deal damage from retribution on outgoing attacks.
2.) Trait that allows rev to deal large damage when an aegis applied by them blocks an enemy attack.
3.) Trait or skill that makes it so when under the effects of protection the amount absorbed by an enemy attack is added to the revenants next critical hit.
4.) Trait that allows ticks of regeneration to grant might.
5.) Trait or skill that allows for overhealing to be converted into damaging effects.
6.) Alernate aegis effect that allows the damage value of the blocked enemy to apply to the revs next attack.
7.) Skills that allow the rev to attack and reduce the enemy’s endurance.
8.) Staff 3 releases a damaging line based projectile that pierced. Damage increases based on the amount of projectiles blocked.
9.) Massive damage increase when attacking enemies in proximity of downed allies.
These are just some ideas on how rev support can have damage capabilities but still synergize with the support role. Rev support should be punishing to enemies that try to harm allies. As the rev provides support if becomes empowered and a real threat if not kept in check. With these mechanics the rev is rewarded for supporting well and becomes unique.
