“Few options”
The revenant does not make up for the lack of weapon versatility, and the class feels like it has very narrowly-defined roles with little flexibility.
Staff ele can summon a hammer and go melee. Dagger ele can summon a bow and go ranged.
Engi can summon any weapon he wants and adjust to the situation.Revenant is the only class with no weaponswap that can’t do that.
Revenant has to pick a melee or a ranged weapon, and swapping legend does not compensate for that, because it doesn’t change weaponskills, but just utilities you can’t spam. Doesn’t change your AA or weapon mechanic.
Shiro can’t solve it. Even if they give Shiro a stance that makes every melee weapon also go ranged, that would simply force every revenant to use Shiro and a melee weapon. Hammer and other legends would die.
I think these two points hit home with my impression of the class. Love the concept, but I think the implementation needs further consideration. Energy management seems pretty cool too
