Guild Wars 2

Look, I know. We’ve been to this well a couple of times, and it’s always been dry. But it’s been an expansion and a LS season since Revenants became a playable profession and Rytlock returned from the Mists, and if the PoF announcement trailer is anything to go by, he might finally tell us at least something about what happened there. So could we just get some sort of explanation on what Revenants are and how they’re going to become a somewhat common profession?

Honestly, at this point I don’t care if the PoF story starts after a timeskip and some guy in a blindfold comes up to us and says “Revenants are a thing now”, I just want actual confirmation that they are, in fact, a thing.

Usually I’d pick depending on who has the better cultural armor. And in this case, charr takes it, since they have great t1 and t3 cultural armor, through norn t1 is also amazing for necromancers. However, norn can also pull off other sets of light armor much better than a charr.

But, charr have much better lines when summoning minions, and generally deliver their shouts much better too, so I’ll say go charr.

I’m personally really looking forward to Deep Sea Dragon, because I think they can take it and it’s domain in a very lovecraftian direction, everything we know about it already suggests it. It’s domain is the unknowable dephts of the oceans, and the only description we have of it’s minions are “tentacled horrors”. It’s domain also lends itself well to the idea that even the enviroment wants to kill you, the vast expanses of water ensuring that you can never feel safe, that no matter where you are, something is lurking just at the corner of your eye. Which brings me to an idea, having the Elder Dragon take a more active part in the early levelling experience. In WoW during the Cataclysm expansion, the dragon Deathwing occasionally flew across the world, scorching entire zones and killing anyone in his path. I’d like them to do something similar with DSD. Something along the lines of, you see something massive in the distance, something that’s mobning. The first time, you might want to swim closer and check it out, only for the water to start raging around you, battering and crushing you, as DSD minions start forming out of the water in the area, and though you might not have gotten a clear look at it, you know DSD just killed you. So whenever you see it from then, get the kitten away, swim or hide and hope you’re not too late.

Also it’d pretty much force Anet to address revenant underwater combat.
