Gryph.8237:

Please don’t touch boon stripping. It’s one of the only things a necro brings to pvp. We don’t slap on heavy conditions comparatively speaking and we can’t bunker. We can strip.boons and do damage, that’s it. We have crap defense and can’t handle a focus fire from multiple enemies. What we can do is battle a bunker due to our ability to strip the crazy kitten boons some of these classes can put on themselves with one button press

In additions it’s so freaking easy for some classes to maintain high boons and only removing what you have suggested would not even make an impact. Moreover you would end up hurting the classes that can’t stack boons as easily and hardly touch the classes that can stack so easily.

I have to agree with this, and add, that it offers a very nice little niche to both my necro and mes (my main).

You destroy un-fabulous peons with purple butterflies. And create more fabulous copies of yourself.

As an old person, I don’t get the reference. Is this about pokemans?

I think I just died a little inside..please be trolling…

In the off chance you aren’t….

Well, hopefully we can get information on the “mystery” bar soon.

Its interesting because it means that bosses are no longer immun to CC. Instead they “activate” there “Anti-CC-Stance” (Sorry dont know the english term) when they use that shiny big one-hit abilities. Just compare it with the Troll-bosses when they are showing the dwarvenskills. When the troll is fighting normally the icon is red and the bar grey – the moment it starts it superattack the icon turn blue (in the way we already see it ingame) und an blue bar appears.

Interesting. I posted before I saw this post, so maybe it really was what they were trying to hide?

Idk.

Welp, I then wonder if that was what they were actually referring to, or not. My first thought was some sort of “enrage” timer, where after a certain amount of time passed, it the mob does substantially more damage? Although I can’t think of any reason why they wouldn’t want us to see that…It could very well be something entirely different though. Who knows.

:/

Yeah, I think around the time he clicked on that, he said something about " stuff we are not supposed to show" and Rubi said something like “oh god, yeah”…but I wonder if that is what they were referring to…

Only thing new is that little bar that looks like it could “fill up”

Interesting nonetheless

And thanks for posting all of these btw

…and this is why we showed all the things. Awesome job getting all the info dulfy.

Can I just say how amazing not only this new profession looks, but just in general how amazing of a game you guys have already made? And how amazing of a game I know HoT will be?

Just ignore those pessimistic fruit flys who have nothing better to do than cry “murder” about something that has not been released, and not even beta’d, and know that, at least I, truly appreciate the amount of hard work put into this ex-pac.

Hey thanks – when you have recorded the stream can you please relook the scene at the boss fight what were unintentionally revealed there. I mean the scene where the player always said “I shall not klick on the boss because it will reveal something” and then he clicks on it (I think he was in downstate for the second time there) and ruby just facepalms afterwards. Sadly it was to fast to notice something important….

I was curios about the same thing…I was wondering what it was…it wasn’t the downed state because we saw that…it had something to do with the boss itself I think…maybe some sort of new boss buff?

Inspiring Reinforcement looks kittening-kitten. Really can’t wait to get my hands on the Rev!

Woot! Thanks for posting!

Can’t wait to try out #3!

Uhhhh, I actually enjoyed Rubi’s commentary a lot. John and Roy were enjoyable, as well….

It really as an amazing POI….

Rubi, will you be my B.F.F.?

I would like the ones with the most rampant speculation surrounding them to be revealed next, i.e. Mesmer-?Chronomancer? and Engi-??Hammer? and Necromancer-??Greatsword?in any order…although I would be content with really any of them getting revealed/confirmed!

I have just one thing to say-

There will never be a “better mesmer” so long as the mesmer is a butterfly-summoning pink-and-purple,fabulous killing machine.

Jora.

Gwen. (Not EoTN Gwen, but pre-searing Gwen. In all of her cute flower-toting, flute-playing glory.)

Ooh! Shiro would be kinda cool. And so would Master Tengu!

The skills on the right half of your bar are tied to the legend which you are currently invoking.

Lets see if I can phrase this unambiguously:

When I am invoking Bob the Mighty, will I have a Bob-themed pool of skills to choose from when filling out my right-hand tray, or does channeling Bob the Mighty give me an absolutely specific set of 5 skills without variation from any other Revenant invoking Bob?

I realize the answer may be different for buttons 6 and 0 than it is for buttons 7, 8, & 9.

He he he. I like it.

But, yes, you asked the question very nicely.

Muchacho.2390:

Mhh i guess switching legends will trigger weapon swap sigils if revenants dont have weapon swaps.

On swap sigils will trigger when you invoke your inactive legend.

Now that you’re here, let me ask you:

When you choose a Legend, said Legend unlocks you a single set of utility skills, 1 healing skill and 1 elite, correct? Are all these skills fixed on your bar (like Elementalist’s weapon skills are depending on which attunement you are)? Or do Legends just add new skills but these can be changed regardless of what legend you are using currently (within the two selected obviously)?

That wasn’t very clear to me when reading the blogpost.

The skills on the right half of your bar are tied to the legend which you are currently invoking.

But are those 5 skills the only ones you have while invoking a specific legendary? Or are there other skills you can choose from?

Feeling Blue? Guardian’s calling.

Red, orange, yellow? WAR!

Shades of grey? Thief’s got you covered.

Green as the grass? Ranger danger.

Green like you’re about to vomit? Find a bag, or alternatively a necro.

Taste the rainbow? Ele.

Identity crisis? Engineer.

Can I just say how MUCH I love this?

Oh, I can?

Welp, I love this more than I love face-tanking a silly warrior in my bright purple and gold armor….
