I thing every dev in every single game, should stop nerfing the stronger classes, and start buffing the weak ones. Whats the point of playing a game if all classes feel weaker than what they were on launch. That is the main problem with balancing in all this games
-everything is an illusion in this games, without cooldowns rev wouldnt even be able to spam the skills, BECAUSE of energy managment, its like saying thieves are special for not having cooldowns…but this still doesnt matter because they have the initiative, which keeps them from spaming
-Some other professions can have all those things but need to sacrifice a couple skills to do so..revenants access to these are passive and renew every few seconds
-still a unique thing about revenant
-dont you need a revenant to unlock this armor on the first place? (not sure about this) also…mistward armor would look weird as F on a warrior or guardian IMO, dont know what OP thinks about it, he only asked for unique things about rev.
I actually just rerolled to revenant, they feel great so far.
I can tell what is unique:
-Energy managment
-Acces to perma; regen,fury,swiftness,might
-You cant really choose your utility skills, you change them by changing your legend, unlike other classes who can actually combine all of their utility/heal/elite skills
-Each legend, serves for a unique purpose for the reason stated above
-Of all classes, its probably the one that forces you(or at least it inspired me) to look more into Guild wars lore, hell i didtn even know who kralkatorrik was until i looked up for glint, and i have been playing for a VERY long time.
-Visual effects are unique
-Mistward armor looks kitten
-This may be not unique, but…the class itself feels like a combination between guardian and thief (at least when using shiro/glint)
Can’t really tell you about damage stategy or mitigation, because im not so experienced in those.
Thieves are kinda trash right now, the only way to kill a rev with a thief, is a really REAAALLY big skillcap between the 2. Only thing thieves can do right now, is escape (and thats again all prof).
You asking for them to not being able to run? that is you sucking and not being able to burst them fast. Like really, thieves tickle me in spvp. You saying you hate the fact that you cant run from a thief? why would you even run from them, thieves are in a pitiful state right now, you don’t run, you just bait them, then go back and burst them, and use your reveal skill.
I play a revenant btw, and i honestly thing 5 seconds are great. we already have UA as a anti-escape skill.
My vote goes for Mesmer(chronomancer), he is great in pvp, not bad at wvw, has nice mobility with its teleports. And once you unlock chrono, i think its ok at pve, and raids for the alacrity thing, its also high skill cap(at least for me).
Also, Revenant and elementalist have what you asked for (ele’s elite spec kinda sucks doe)
Necro lvl 1-79.- I don’t really like necro, it has nice survivability, nice mov speed(with the signet) and minions are cool, however, people often says that you get discriminated in dungeons and such as necro
Reaper.- even though i do not like necro, i really enjoy reaper, mostly for the new shroud i always hated the ranged shroud, for the matter of being ranged, i mean, if you cant die, whats the point of being at distance, melee just feels better for me. Also Reaper seems to be really useful in raids, but that’s just me.
Haven’t tried scrapper, but engi is cool once you get your kits, mostly bombs. The weapon skills suck doe, i hate them.
Revenant.- Good damage, good survivability, he feels great, problem is mobility, even with shiro, and like Perma dodges(there is a shiro skill that gives you one extra charge of endurance, while evading backwards). But i hate moving around the map with revanant, its just painful. This might be cause i am used to playing thief/warrior in open world so..maybe its just me and my l2p issues, i’m just not used to it yet.
Herald.- mobility problem is fixed with the perma swiftness thing, and facets in general are great, perma fury is also pretty cool, and you wont get discriminated in any kind of pve content.
So, IMHO,based on what you asked for, run revenant…leveling is funnier for me with revenant, because its a new class, and i actually enjoy unlocking all of its features slowly, taking my time, unlike necro, which i already know all of its skills, and basic features. Didn’t really like my engi, i deleted him and created a mesmer instead.
GL on your choice
Hey guys, i would like you to recommend me some roaming prof plx (elite spec included)
Im Currently playing reaper in spvp, and i am doing pretty well and the combat feels great. Problem is, reaper is way to slow and not mobile for roaming.
I currently have a lvl 15 engi, lvl 26 Thief, lvl 26 revenant, and a lvl 17 mesmer, wich one would be better for roaming? Elite specs included, i already have a lvl 80 ele, but i got bored of the d/d build, and tempest doesn’t look good for roaming.
edit: Also i would like this class to not be useless at pve content, raids mainly, as i intent to do this class my main, and dont touch any other char on the road

Unfair for people who does not buy HoT? Why we even should keep thinking about them… In WoW noone cares of ppl who do not bought the expansion. Soon u gonna saying that buying HoT is P2W xd
Implementing the OP suggestion would make the necro class p2w. Also, this is not WoW.
And there is a LOT of people who bought the base game when it came out, and they are not getting HoT…this change would be unfair to them.
A better suggestion would be to just buff the basic DS form, i hated necro before because DS felt lackluster, and now i feel sooo powerfull on reaper shroud.
i had the same dilemma as you. And i will tell you something…EVERY single class will always lack something. For me the important things are:
Spvp
Wvw(zergs)
Roaming(wvw)
Open world (everything works in open world content,maybe Hot OW is a little bit harder)
Dungeons
Raids (haven’t played any raids, so i am not gonna talk about this one)
And the MOST important by far….Enjoying the playstyle
So after analyzing everything, i came to my conclusion, and chose 3 professions :
Necro.-I find him extremely good at spvp, and reaper is awesome, he is avg in wvw, HATED, and DISCRIMINATED in dungeons atm…And would be great for roaming, if it had more mobility (people can just run from you, but if they fight you, they are dead)
Thief.-Excellent roamer, lacks range for zergs imho but its ok at dungeons, they are a little weak at spvp when fighting toe to toe, but they have great damage mitigation. Hardest to master of all classes here(IMO)
Ele.-Jack of all trades, “ok” at dungeons, “ok” at spvp, “ok” at wvw…and a great roamer (probably top 3 roamers atm). Ele is my favorite class …my problem with them is tempest, Reaper feels AMAZING, i never really liked necro that much until i played reaper, Daredevil looks bad kitten , and he has so much damage mitigation, and tweaking your dodges is cool…Tempest on the other hand…idk i just don’t like it, if you take the tempest trait line, you will lack some things from the main, traditional builds. (also warnhorn sucks, cough cough…)
Still need to try mesmer, they seem good in EVERYTHING, and chronomancer looks cool so far, shield too. What i dont like, is that i mostly enjoy male characters, and a male mesmer looks gay af… haha (also hard to master, according to other ppl). GL on your choice, let me know what you picked.
That would affect f2p players A LOT…. and people without the xpac
edit: nvm you said same life force bar….still kinda unfair for people without hot
Have you tried spvp yet? Im hoping it will be a good fighter, instead of a sneak in-sneak out assassin, or the classic +1 meta stuff im used to
Also, maybe a little offtopic, but do you think thief will be viable for raids, using staff? considering the dodges and everything
Hey guys, i cant decide what to do right now, im definitly getting Hot. But right now i dont know what to do. So looking into all classes and elite specs, i love thief and ele, and im good with them..but im not really convinced of their elite specs. And here`s why:
-Im looking for a good class for pve, and i would like to run raids eventually, both ele/tempest, and thief/DD dont seem so good in this regard right now.
-I like wvw roaming, and spvp, dueling etc…. Hate zergs doe. Thief and ele are good at this, but they lack the PVE potential for hardcore content.+ thief is kinda lame in spvp right now…and im not sure if DD is gonna improve this
I would like for my next class to be capable of doing both of these things, and mesmer, necro and revenant are the ones that i like the most, but since revenant isnt here yet…Should i start lvling either my necro or my mesmer?…or should i just wait for revenant to come out and lvl him to 80.
Im not using tomes of knowledge or anything, im actually gonna try to lvl the class slowly and take my time learning them, since im not familiar with their playstyle/tactics etc. So this is why i dont really want to waste my time on necro/mesmer, when i could just wait for revenant and play him all the way, like a newcomer
