Shiro Legend
We already know the elite, it was datamined a week ago :P Can’t find the link though :/
Elite: Jade Wind
- 90 sec cd
- Instant cast
- PBAoE, turns enemies into Jade for 2 seconds (maximum 5 targets), duration 2 seconds (I guess it’ll be an AoE basilisk benom).
Speculation:
If we exclude Banish, which banished the player to a new zone (very unlikely to happen), he had 4 other skills – perfect for heal and 3 utilities.
Heal – Meditation of the Reaper
- I think this will have some base healing and then after every attack blocked the revenant will steal some health.
Utility1 – Impossible Odds
- The revenant’s attacks deal extra damage for the duration and trasfer conditions on a successful hit.
Utility2 – Riposting Shadows
I think this was on the trailer.
- The revenant shadowsteps to a target and deals damage. If the attack was successful, shadowstep to the next target.
- If the skill duration runs out / max target cap was reached or the attack was blocked/dodged/blinded, return to your original location.
Utility3 – Battle Scars
- Something about lifestealing.
Edit: added links to GW1 wiki articles documenting Shiro’s skills.

And that has something to do with thiefs?
Skilled Thiefs are dangerous
Shiro is an assassin and thieves are descendants from assassins in gw1.
^ True but Arkantos got a point, it should be in the HoT section not Thief.

Pretty much exactly what I thought when I saw that elite. A better version of basilisk, AoE and instant. Longer cd, but not terrible. Hopefully basilisk gets some sort of change to make it different due to this. (Maybe give us back unstunbreakable status).

Maybe when Revenant brings Shiro to the world it’ll effect Thieves’ magic after coming in contact with his and their skills will be redesigned to allow Assassin playstyle, including Blocking/Parrying, invulnerability, enchantments, improved durability overall w/o depending on stealth, deep wound, knockdown, direct dmg signet of deadly corruption burst, hexes, stances and so on. Man, why did Assassin’s magic degrade so much over the years? Must be cuz we been away from Cantha and Master Togo’s teachings too long.
And that has something to do with thiefs?
I’m guessing, some thieves will be re-rolling revenants. That’s the only connections I’m able to make.

Probably if revenant manages to also fill the style of power thieves, I will probably bury some previous specs if they don’t satisfy ,especially necro. Not sure what’s the obsession with GW’s assasin you like it play GW or GW2’s power thief. I doubt their:“We’ll give the current professions a balance look one more time” will be sufficient based on history.

Are there actual plans for them to look at balance?
As far as I’m aware, it’s a bit of speculation or wishing that they will look at balance around the time HoT is released (before and/or after it).

No plans, just words which make me think of the current style of balance, probably after profit>health I would prefer before for obvious reasons hopefully while they showcase specializations. No neef to need explain revenant is the best theoretically designed class and specializations are seen as upgrades that will balance each other once more of them come.
I could be wrong but history >hope.

You’re assuming they’ve learned from their past mistakes/endeavors.
Specs, I see them more as a way to add in new skills/builds to the current stale system.
But definately, History>Hope – that’s why torch would make sense as our spec weapon.

I refuse to believe they learned from their past, to me rifle makes more sense to create hate and fuel the nerf bat, I refuse to believe they are not upgrades and are balanced because I don’t believe you lose something when specializing and etc. We’ll see it’s all speculation hey at least condi thief has improved since beta and now has 3 viable specs and venoms FTW!!!
About revenant to me it’s just due to company mindset in paid expansions.

I think all hot joins will be revenant on release
