Had some fun on the Rev trialling melee staff and ranged hammer (was weird to wrap my mind around it initially. Some things I thought about it (some are similar to what others have said):
-DPS was really low (it feels like an evil mesmer, but with much lower DPS). The highest i was hitting on hammer with full Zerk gear was about 1000-1400 with crits? On mace/axe it was like 700-1000 with crit, and with staff it was about 900-1100. That feels like what a level 50 character would be hitting, not a level 80 one.
-Some interesting traits to make it into a support/condi build, but traits should allow an option for players who prefer DPS-heavy play methods.
-Staff should have blast options as well (to allow for speed stacking with the Dwarf Legend Uti Skill 1)
-Staff skill 2 felt pretty irrelevant to me (although skill 5 was awesome). Skill 3 block is nice, but would be good if it could last a little longer. Staff would probably feel better as a mid-ranged weapon (maybe 600). I mean, this is a STAFF. If i wanted to bash things with a stick up close, I would get a tree branch.
-WEAPON SWAP NEEDED. If it seems to OP too have weapon + legend swap, maybe you guys can consider linking weapon swaps to legend swaps. But we need to have the option of being able to change between range/melee, especially when facing bosses who can reflect projectiles at intervals.
-Centaur Stance Legend’s healing seems really weak IMO. Having the Ventari tablet disappear as soon as you swap legends makes any healing even more negligible. I found higher survivability on toggling between Demon/Dwarf and using their heals. This legend seriously needs a buff if it’s going to be the Rev’s main support legend.
-Hammer skill 4’s reflect would be better if it was closer to the character.
-Dwarf elite skill’s description seems glitched.
-DPS elite skill option would be nice.
-Again, DPS DPS DPS DPS DPS DPS please. It majorly needs a buff.
Just my two cents after 2 hrs play on Rev running CM and Cursed Shore. Feel free to disagree!
(On a side note: when is Druid Beta?
