“Revenant
Now that the revenant is out in the wild, we’ve been taking a hard look at it. The general goal for this profession is focused specialization through a variety of trait and legend choices. We’ll be continuing this in the future by assuring that each legend and core/elite specialization fulfills their respective roles. In this iteration, we’ll be looking to tone down the revenant’s sword damage in some areas and adjust the weapon’s abilities so that it’s less focused on autoattacking and better at singling out and attacking enemies. We’re also keeping a close eye on the revenant’s defensive capabilities.”
i really hope there’s more to the upcoming rev changes than just a sword auto attack nerf. i main a rev and very much prefer to play a power build and if this is all that happens then its just going to lower build diversity on rev by forcing everyone into the condi build (yes, both builds typically use sw/sh but the condi version doesn’t rely on it for dmg). The condi build is already favored over power which is why i find it odd Anet identified sword 1 as a target to focus on for the Rev.
Please don’t make me play condi Anet.
also while loosing quickness stomps/rez’s is a bit of a bummer as a Rev, this change was very much needed.
This single skill is simply too good:
1) huge dmg
2) 2s evade frame
3) 5s CDIt’s like heartseeker on steroids, I propose to either double the CD or reduce the evasion frame from 2s to 1s if not at the very least reduce the number of hits from 7 to 5; given the plethora of “oh kitten” skills on revenant, something must be done
