Revenant haven’t gotten a single elite spec that functions underwater yet, so I’d say it’s possible Engie is the same… But maybe not, there is an ever decreasing level of care and energy put into some of the elite specs.
No, they just completely forgot that underwater combat exist. Like really, in the beta there were no underwater ANYTHING for Revenant and answer to questions about that on forum can be summarised as “ups, kitten”.
Shiro works underwater.
I mean, it looks cool, but that’s about it. And in PvP, with no new reflects or decent ways to deal with conditions, might as well just die.
shield 4 is reflect and Photon Wall over 50 heat is reflect too. Minor trait Prismatic Converter converts conditions to boons after leaving Photon Forge Mode. toolbelt 1 removes up to 4 conditions and if combined with that trait you lose the self inflicted burn fast.
It has nice synergies with explosives and inventions. I like the whole style and heat management thanks to Enhanced Capacity Storage Unit. It turned out quite nice for my first playtime in WvsW.
I hoped i could make a cool bomb yourself build with the photonic blasting module, but that grandmaster trait is completely useless. Once you overheat you have to wait 17 seconds until you can use the Photon Forge mode again and that’s making it completely obsolete… There goes your Chance of 74%/75% devs.
the answer to the question that wasn’t asked would be just one word: “choice”.
If you give People means of travel, they can decide for themselves, how they are going to traverse those maps.
You on the other Hand aren’t forced to use them. You can completely ignore mounts and simply move the classic way without mounting any beasts…
i guess the real reason why arenanet brought them is to have another cashcow for mictrotransactions. Any mount-equipment-sales already planned? ’I may like them.
I actually like the mounts, because i have a ton of characters and if i want to do one of those old school quests, i have to creep through the whole world exploration again, which is rather tedious to me.
It’s not just the necro, because the mesmer has the same problem. Mirage in english and Illusionist auf Deutsch. Do it like me and just play the english version. At least we don’t have a faux pas like Dragon Hunter this time around.
i am hyped up because my asura engineer goes by the Name Cy of Borg and the whole Look suits him perfectly fine.
“We are the Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.”

I’m 99% sure it’s just a UI bug.
I just watched the official footage over and yeah seems like you are right. That light saber ist outside of Photon forge/ hollow mode. It’s just a new sword Skin, that maybe unlocks once you unlock the whole spec.
bog otter has shown us a lot, yet that’s a part he completely missed in his footage. The light saber skill will most likely be a part of it. And i guess those 5 skills are the main heat Generators. Maybe that’s why he didn’t see some sort of heat bar.

I think it’s funny to see how nobody asks about the weapon swap we get in Photon Forge mode.
Homer Simpson knew the name all the time. Doh!
Pre-purchase bonus character slot- to a dev
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: makagoto.1204
And here i thought i am special with a mere 10 character slots, those are some dedicated fans that i really like to know about.
I would love to use that amazing glider skin of the deluxe/ultimate edition, which i already activated for my account after receiving it.
search and destroy
Ele: I get to become a Tempest and overload my attunements.
Necro: Nice, I get to become death itself and will be called Reaper.
Mesmer: Well, I turn into a Chronomancer and control time. How about you?
Guardian: I will be a Dragonhunter.
Ele: What? O_o
Necro: We all get to hunt dragons, you know?
Mesmer: We are not RPing here, be serious.
Guardian: I really become a Dragonhunter and I get to use my Spear of Justice-
Necro: For the last time, we are not allowed to use underwater weapons on land!
Guardian: It’s not an underwater weapon, it’s my new Virtue. I also get Wings of Re-
Ele: Not this again. You were told we are all getting gliders, they are not really wings!
Guardian: No no, that’s also my new Virtue, I also get a Longbow and Traps-
Necro: No class change! To think you would misunderstand this again…
Ele: Next he is going to say he can have a dragon as pet or mount!
Mesmer: Guardian, I think you’re just confused on who you want to become, and that’s coming from a Mesmer.
Necro: No, he’s just an idiot, just leave him be. Dragonhurrdurr, I swear the stupid things he comes up with sometimes… <shakes head>
lol, that gave me a good laugh again!!!
now for everybody, try to say Dragonhunter without a big grin on your face :-)
Muddled and confused concepts is a good summery of it indeed.
I agree it sounded interesting at first but it was the least played elite spec in BWE for me.
I simply didn’t feel the whole concept of it afer trying it out, my conclusion now is i could care less but the name still keeps me laughing when i read/hear it :-)
I wonder if i will see any guardians who will use the longbow, because the guardian already has stronger traits to choose from.
everybody hates Trahearne for his long depressive monologues, he is actually the best character in the game to turn to the dark side and to give us the chance to remove him for good. He already feels like one of the living dead from Orr. There can be only one hero in the end and thats you!
Reveal all elite specialisations before PAX
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: makagoto.1204
Turbo Modus won’t work. Anet will take it’s time to keep the hype flame going. We are not close enough to the release is what they keep telling us with those slow reveals. At best they will reveal the release at Pax and the elite specs in due time, but i actually doubt that. Still 4 reveals left means basically +/- 4 weeks, we are getting closer … either way they can keep that hype flame burning only for so long…
Revenant was never compared to thief. Energy is there to make 10 utility skills feel like 5.
I agree that the nerf is too much. Jalis has 2 bad skills now.
It always had 2 bad skills, first it was hammers and rite of the great dwarf, they just went and switchedd rite of the great dwarf with inspired reinforcement and settled with giving a ton of added thoughness to the stance while keeping vengeful hammers not worth using.
Some feelings will be hurt there and sorry for that to the dev team, but damage mitigation options in the active combat system of the game are way better in other forms other than increasing the defensive stats and making defensive capabilities more dynamic and challening is better than just making you diamond though while just standing still like a target dummy IMO.
you can basically beat all content with going all out with max berserk damage, without any kind of defense thoughts. Thats what works and what people in dungeons for example expect. Still if that’s all you want you can still play shiro/glint, mallyx/glint or shiro/mallyx. There is no need for jalis to fit this role as well. Some people don’t care about having the absolute possible damage output and like to play more defensive and jalis is meant as a option for those people. Either way you look at it inspired reinforcement was too strong and got the nerf it needed and veangeful hammers didn’t fit the role jalis should have taken. Even though i liked using them for some burst damage i think they are in a much better place now.
Good question but i suppose it is the latter, because the heal is bound to damage you receive which is being ignored thanks to resistance.
Well, yeah, if you don’t count all those other utilities or elites…
But, it’s fine according to their metrics as they released in the info graphic some time ago that 80% of players NEVER CHANGE THEIR UTILITIES.
I think this is thrown out of context and describes the actual pre revenant situation. For example i never change the utilities on my current guardian, because it’s the best way to play him for me. In the BWE with the revenant i had to switch the utilities for the heal alone all the time not to mention that the shiro heal skill worked well with those whirling hammers. Jalis elite helped me a lot out of the pinch and don’t forget every time you change legendaries you get back to 50 energy which is a lot if you had 0 energy left before the swap.
yes and we already have that, like many elite skills that can be used instantly after reaching 50 energy. If you have 100 energy you can fire off jade wind twice for example and thanks to the herald we also get skills that have a longer recharge but have less energy usage so basicallly you have the best out of both worlds, not to mention having 2 utility lines, where other professions have only one. Now that revenant has also weapon swap there is nothing other classes have that the revenant has not.
Edited:
OP asked a question whether the skills of the Revenant had to be more powerful and have some sort of impact. Later OP deleted his whole post because the thread is pointless /thread

For runes is just lyssa I believe, and it’s every 90 seconds, and losing tons of dps (over 20%) compared to rage.
For sigils is just 1 condi every 9 secs on weaponswap
Superior Runes of Lyssa taken from wiki:
(1): +25 Precision
(2): +5% Condition Duration
(3): +50 Precision
(4): When you use a heal skill you gain a random boon for 10 seconds. (Cooldown: 10s)
(5): +100 Precision
(6): When you use an elite skill, convert up to 5 conditions into boons. (Cooldown: 45 sek)
i think it’s sounds worse than it is, even if you are bound to a spot, while you are bound you are also being healed, than we have also seen that he can cancel it midway, meaning before the defiance bar breaks you jump out of it. Next the herald has various options to get out of the pinch, like using the facet of nature passive, heal passive+active, using sword 3 for evasion or simply switch legendaries for additional options. The rev got a big overhaul and i am looking forward to try it out.
you get the effect of each weaponset but sigils don’t stack means having more than one on a weaponset is useless.
Darn it, I have to take my cat to the vet smack dab in the middle of the PoI today. What’s the easiest way to find the recording after the show? I know that Twitch has a replay of recent shows but have not figured out how to locate those, and even a day later my googling never turns up the YouTube; I have to have someone else give me the link.
usually dulfy is the first to bring a recording out to youtube as well as a compilation of all the skills and traits to his website.

those skills would need to be redesigned to work with the revenant. The revenants elite skill is sort of an extended utility skill giving us stuff like jade wind and mallyx form with high energy cost and low cd. Mistfire wolf would completely break the profession the way it is now, but i would like those racial skills and mistfire wolf to be redesigned either way, they are hardly being used by anybody, especially those norn forms that basically just handicap you.
The name it’s not so Epic ………
10 x better than Dragon Hunter.
make that a 100 times or better yet lets just agree that Dragon Hunter is the lowest low possible.
It’s summer, give us shorts and bikini skins, costumes whatsoever or like what we had in gw1 scar and tattoo skins.
Warrior can run around with all there signets as can other classes. But if you do it in dragon stance you can’t do anything but auto attack. Upkeep skills do not work well with the class.
Just imagine having thief list initiative every second for using a signet. It does not make sense
none of those other professions can simply switch to another line of utility skills on the fly though…
rune of Lyssa is very strong with a revenant. Convert 5 conditions into boons when you use an elite skill (45 secs cd) and revenants can basically spam their elite skills, you can also use staff with shiro and staff 4 removes at least one condition.

I am actually looking forward to tomorrow to see what roy and co had in mind for the herald. I like what i saw so far, but there are still 3 facets and all of the traits missing for the big picture. I am also not against that super shield skill that holds us in place and leaves us vulnerable behind, i just wonder can we break that cc after its use with a certain trait in invocation if we switch the legendaries ?
I don’t see why not. After all, that requires that the bar be taken down to zero. You will still have 25 stacks of vulnerability on you in a situation where you are already being focused. Pretty cool way to turn the tide of a battle, potentially.
if you can switch to mallyx then you can easily resist those, especially if you use facet of nature.
i like the revenant for it’s duality concept and less for the intended armor as i usually mix the armor variants to my taste.
usually i don’t show helmet, shoulder and gloves pieces.
some people want to hear them more often and others don’t want to hear them at all. So what is the best solution ?

staff has heals and condi removal.
revenant is the only profession that has no reduced cd traits. I thought invocation would be the perfect line for such a trait or some sort of energy mangement enhancement, those traits would become mandatory but you still lose a trait point on them. They don’t have to be some big numbers but give us some options.
But… don’t other classes hold bow in left hand while pulling the string with right? Would fit tbh.
Just dunno what role it would serve vs hammer (which is pretyy cool)
Could be condi ranged … or just a faster power based ranged with more mobility ,but still more likely its a shield I just think a Shield that uses all 5 weapon ability slots would be sick.
That’s not gonna happen, that shield has already been seen on reddit and is just the usual offhand shield.

i never expected a mm reaper would be this great in pve. That spec is exactly what a necro is missing the most. Great work done here!
i recommend the first person view for such occasions.
we need a slider to make them look more/less like a human, problem solved. I prefer my sylvaris to look more like plants than humans too.
I like the shiro way of swinging 2 swords but because staff is greater than swords there is no point to it. Those swords definitely need a buff.
finally we will find out about those signet like looking skills :-)
Anyone else expecting to glide... but don't?
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: makagoto.1204
gliding is too much fun to keep it exp pack only. the next step would be to give us gliding skills and some aerial battle, yeah i know that will never happen :-)
i have a full bar but no mastery point to spent on it …
I doubt it’s progressing beyond that point.

just realized you can simply switch the active mastery after one is full allready.

i am using swords with jalis all the time, the result is actually a nice burst damage with those whirling hammers, also hammer + shiro legend thanks to impossible odds quickness and long cast hammer skills. Overall hammer got a big improvement and i like it a lot. I am with those who say having the legends also change skill properties would have been a more elegant solution but weapon swap is working just fine for me.
mmo mice need new drivers, which are not available yet. At least that’s the case with my corsair m90 and looking for other mmo mice i realized such drivers are a rare feature.
I will try the Dragon Hunter in the Beta and tell everybody who is not of dragon hunter origin to leave those boss events, because they have to become dragon hunters first :-)
