Guild Wars 2

This is because buffs are both activated and deactivated every 3s. Easy way to code and do not load up the server

Kinda looks odd on Char. All I see is mist trail after dodge, but again its just “Fluff” so its not game breaking. Will not notice it at all after a couple of days.

Yeah effect is small on charr still awesome job!

Long time for it.. i bet next will be condi oriented for obvious reason. See ya in 6 years

ps. next dps must be red!

Mallyx is our condi orientated right now

Windler.4815:

When it comes to revenant, Mallyx isn’t viable. Mallyx is laughable in PvP. Don’t dare use Pain Absorption or you’ll just bring a bunch of condis to yourself. Since you no longer able to send them out. What’s the point? If you remove that fun aspect of the build, why keep that part of PA? Also, the condi damage is no where near where it should be. EtD is a laughable elite. 10% stat increase and pulse 3 stacks of a horrible condition. For PvE, the second worse condition to stack in a pve setting is torment (behind confusion). PvE mobs hardly ever move. Meaning, in order to do as much damage as 3 stacks of burning; a rev needs to stack 13+ of torment. Suggestion, revert the changes. Change UA to a knock down and leave it as a pulse torment/chill field. The whole idea that mallyx conflicts with cleansing metas in game is a horrible argument. Metas change, they’re suppose to change. You killed a really interesting and fun play style.

Except you weren’t sending them out before, you were copying them and you had to rely on resistence to survive. Same ia now.
Mallyx now is extremely efficient at loading up condis and in that regard is more reliable now and stronger.
We lost a nice playstyle? Yes. We suck? Not at all!

Well i hope they re-set the banks atleast…but then again why would they whipe the beta chars only? You can do that yourself without any issues. Seems weird to me :\

Corrupted data. I don’t have the original source of that info, it was just said on reddit, so I don’t know if it was corrupted character data or account data. I’m sure they want you to be able to continue leveling your masteries, so if they could save that data, they would.

nope is a FULL wipe. you have to get masteries again BUT you have a new fresh copy of the bank. The actual copy happen on FIRST BETA CHARACTER CREATION.

Funny how most of the switching players come from professions who got crappy elite specs.

I’d say Thief has one of the more interesting elite specs and it comes in 2nd right now. I suppose it’s true enough for Elementalist and Warrior though.

Then again, even had those classes seen amazing elite specializations… I’m pretty sure they’d still be at the top of this list. Revenant is essentially a combination of Warrior & Elementalist elements. The emphasis on melee & mobility of the Warrior, with the on-the-fly bar switching & versatile magical ability of the Elementalist.

There are probably a lot of people maining Warriors or Elementalists right now who would’ve much rather wanted to play something like the Revenant at launch if they could have. Like me. Maining Warrior right now, switching to Revenant in HoT.

And I just got my Sunrise legendary too

Greatsword Revenant please? :o

in a future full dps oriented legend almost surely

Kidel.2057:

Funny how most of the switching players come from professions who got crappy elite specs. Only around 5% of Ranger/Engi/Necro/Mesmer are going to switch, because they got the best elites (with scrapper and druid being OP currently). The second less switched is Guardian at 15% up to Ele at 16%.

Durid is simply “let’s exaggerate with healing and cc” and scrapper is “let’s make something with 5 perma boons and +500 toughness”

i’m the 5%! yay!

Knighthonor.4061:

Can’t believe what I am reading from you people. Dpsing with Shiro and Demon with cleric gear is ok now….?

Smh

be in the context man, DPS won’t be your role and you won’t dish out top DPS, but you’ll be contributing instead of doing nothing sitting in ventari, that was my example. With other group buffs like fury/prec/might even 900 power are noticeable, otherwise builds like sinister wouldnt be that reliant on the power part to be top dps (look at engi).

M8 revenant has LOADS of Fury.

Fury access is poor on base rev. Glint is another story. But one should keep in mind that we will have future elite specs. Unless they get load of fury as well it will become problematic. Thmematically it also fits Shiro more to provide fury. Jalis fits better for retal+might.

Fury on Legend Swap (50% uptime not including boon duration), Fury on Heal etc is a pretty decent uptime. It’s actually higher than nearly every other class.

both can be seriously situational, and unlikely other classes we can lightly blow up our heals or switch role whenever. Still if you build it with glint, the outcome is massive if you use Roiling Mists

i’ll main one as sure as Rytlock is one bad madaphooqa! (take that kitten filtering! xD)

Not gonna lie…. I’m really hoping that the personal story is different for a rev and fits the lore and they are just waiting to surprise us with it.

Sorry to delude you not gonna happen for many reasons: time/cost, equality with other classes, the fact that personal story is only about our race/order choice, …
So yeah, 110% not gonna happen

You broke my immersion….and my heart. Rev isn’t equal anyway…. Rev is Charr Jesus. I will pay another $10 For a New Rev story……

sorry dude :-( but hey we are the teh coolestest and you can come up with something timey/wimey ala Doctor Who to justified it. I’ve give several time a nice explanation

TL;DR;
Rytlock teaches the “Rev way” to people in the Mists and send them back in time before personal story – a possibility in the realm of the Mists – with the raccomandation to do not disclose his identity before time, to avoid history modifications and such.
When you account for time travel, time is not a linear “street” but is way more complex. You can have a fact happening in a point of the time affecting things in the past, creating a loop.
With time travel Rytlock IS the first revenant and yet there can be revenant coming before him.

Not the perfect explanation, but a feasible one.

Doctor Who bit for reference :-D

okay maybe not a healing spec but eh

actually perma regen in cleric’s is massive and must not be overlooked ;-)
it’s like 600-800 hp/s :-D

well i also run some numbers for a cleric’s build and holy skritt is massive…can’t wait to test it in raids, hoping to be competitive in the role (i mained a cleric in aion for 2 years…missing the feeling of having everybody’s live responsability a bit )

Knighthonor.4061:

Legends are locked into certain predesigned roles and each legend’s doesn’t seem to sync with other legends and their roles. Legend swap also seem to be the go to design for regenerating energy when fully low as well.

This to me seem to be a flaw in the design of the Revenant’s Legend and Energy system.

Because let’s say, I am a Ventari Support Revenant in full cleric gear and Centaur Legend for support.
I run low on energy. Now what Legend will benefit my role and gear choice now? Centaur has the only heal support of any legend besides Herald.
Should I switch to a condition legend? Or Dwarf legend, or Assassin legend with my cleric gear to get that energy boost?
What benefit would I have in doing so, if I will be locked out of the Centaur Legend when I do swap?

IMO the better solution to this flaw, is by giving each legend an additional set of skills that can be switched in place of the stock skills, that may potentially fit the role of the build I may be building around at the time. This way all stats would still fit the legend I swap to, as well as the role I can continue to play.

The legends do sync.

Taking Ventari for Support is just one form of support. You can take Jalis for damage reduction on the Elite (and now condi damage reduction) OR you can take Mallyx to pull condis off of your teammates.

The most interesting part about the Revenant is the skills and how you can play around with them. That is really not an area where the Rev has issues. If you had gripes with the traits themselves, then I’d be more inclined to agree.

They do not sync. The weapons are the only thing that can be made to sync.

When I swap from ventari to Glint I go from 2000hps to 600. The only benefit being maintaining regeneration. A swap to malyx is pointless because ventari has condi removal. A swap to jalis is pointless because ventari can already give protection and any further damage reduction loss is made up for by healing.

The roles are separated. There is no sync like elementalists.

Wat
Elementalist doesn’t sync like that either.
You swap from Fire and your DPS goes down the drain if you’re using Staff. MH Dagger has no sustained damage in Fire, but little burst in Air, then there’s no Healing on any Element outside of Water. They get locked out of most of their Healing, DPS, Control, Mobility, etc. by swapping while Revenant can swap between two roles that can actually sync up either via weapons, traits, or similar ideas.

Also, Jalis isn’t pointless at all because giving team mates damage reductions outside of Protection is pretty powerful and unique. Arguably, 2k hp/s isn’t necessary if they’re taking like 80% less damage and 5 seconds later you’ll be able to swap back to Ventari anyway.

They would never have that much damage reduction in jalis and your condi removal goes away.

There is every bit more synergy in elementalist as they have functioning combos between their four roles. Not only that effects of one can meaningfully persist In the others.

Please come up with a build for me that is Shiro and Ventari.

RotGD + protection is pretty high and your Condi Removal? Really? It’s designed as our biggest weakness afterall, but if it REALLY bothers you to lose group condi cleansing for 10 seconds, then Mallxy can still deal with them for your team somewhat.

The Elementalist has combos, but that’s kinda the point of their mechanic. They tend to have weak spells with high cooldowns to “balance” their 4 attunements. Even then, the combos you’re talking about are completely possible on Revenant too.
Axe 5 into Glint’s Breath move where they’re being pulled into Staff 5
Be creative.

Oh, and you want a Shiro/Ventari build? Try going for a Control/Support role.
Ventari can do his thing while Shiro provides insane mobility between fights(especially in PvP), strong Control in Jade Winds and allows Quickness Stomps/Rezzes(or even auto-attacking with Staff for orbs).
For PvE you’ll probably want Glint over Shiro, but since you’re hellbent on complaining, Shiro still allows for DPS while Ventari can provide crazy up-time on projectile destruction.

I meant cross stance combos not cross weapon. And when you are ventari leaving to either of the two specs stills makes you deal with either damage reduction or condis poorly.

The point of this mechanic is not to swap. Unless you need to switch roles. Or are too low on energy. What ends up happening is staying in one spec and being any class that had five utility and two weapons. The difference is that you lack any of the great self syngery or the classes you emote.

If we look at the utilities in a vacuum, then sure, I’d agree with you, but this class is obviously designed for you to have to manage your energy and what you need in the current situation and the utilities are for just that, utility. They don’t need to be combo’d between stances(even though there’s nothing stopping you from pulling chain-CCs or Phase traversal into EtD or whatever).

There’s not much wrong in camping Ventari if you want, but you can also swap to Jalis/Mallyx/Whatever for whatever they bring and some energy at the cost of being locked out of Ventari for a bit.
That being said, the only Legend that absolutely demands certain stats to be useful is Mallyx right now.
Jalis, Shiro, Ventari, and Glint all work fine with any stat combo.

Ventari wants healing power. Shiro wants power. Glint is synergy and wants nothing. Jalis is defensive so stats don’t even matter but it seems to want boon duration.

Yet it works without Healing Power just fine(especially the projectile destruction and cleanses) and Shiro works with literally anything.

I wouldn’t neuter the potential of a spec for just fine. And Shiro has life siphon which is damage affected by power. As well as one elite and utility that also do power damage. Specs either assert their will or fold to the will of the other spec.

wat
The spec still performs well without a ton of Healing Power. It even has several useful skills you can pull off still, like projectile destruction and cleansing. How is this neutering anything? You get some group heals and utility without sacrificing any damage or anything else you want. Sure, it’s not AS powerful as a Cleric’s Rev, but that wasn’t the intended goal was it?

Then, Shiro doesn’t need any power boost for his siphons to be useful as it’s a supplementary heal anyway(and the #6 still heals fine since it scales kinda poorly), you can take the GM that eats another stack of Stability to push that Control aspect harder and the Elite’s main use is Control rather than damage.

You’re really pushing this non-existant issue a lot.
All of them have a role they cover, but they can still sync up and do their jobs fine.
Even Ventari in a DPS build can work out(mostly in PvE) due to his huge up-time in projectile destruction. Really, the only one you can complain about is Mallyx since he’s all about Conditions and doesn’t help Power/Support builds very much.

You trying real hard to justify this flaw. The argument you are using can apply to any class. What you pretty much saying, is the same as somebody trying to argue that Necro Scepter and Dagger OH is perfectly find to have as off hand when spec into Power, because, hey they still do damage or some other role…

Or like arguing a Power Ranger is perfectly find with Torch Axe because hey it still does damage,,,

That argument just doesn’t make much sense. If I spec for Cleric tablet legend, none of my stats will improve the other legends besides ES, which shouldn’t count in this discussion since it’s not core part of the design.

Swapping legends will lock me out my skills that are useful, and put me into skills that I may not need, and for what? Stun break and energy?

Legends should have more choices to their skill make up, to make legend swap more useful.

Right now, it’s basically Engineer kits on long Cooldown with no other options.
That’s bad design.
Simple as that.

They could also reduce swap lockout but that has other issues. The best solution is adding more skills to Legends.

while i agree legends need at least 1 more utility skill, you are still talking about swapping when actually you aren’t forced to? like you said, if you do not need, why do? for energy and swap proc? No.

You swap when you need to change the current role, that’s why is not a design flaw. You build cleric w/Ventari? very well, your main role is to heal / support. What to do in the downtimes or easy phase where heavy healing is not needed? you can pair with glint to dish out boons and help your team dps, or if the thing is covered you can pair up with shiro for dps spike with the heal and fight mobility while also switching your probable staff for a sword/ set and starting dps.
Even jalis/hammer is a good chance since you can put damage mitigation with RotGD, taunt to move damage away from your team while DPSing from afar. All those work good in my eyes. There’s no place for mallyx since you are running cleric’s, switch for something condi oriented and you have your pair for condi dps time.

Shiro will never have healing support, like mallyx will never have direct damage support etc etc…each legend has personality and you should pair up those personality to cover weak spots/secondary utilities.
Since “roles” are just 3 with some sub role (condi dps, direct dps, healing support, buff support, debuff support, control) in the future we might have 2 legends on the same role (even, if you see, we lack a control heavy legend is more likely will get that first ;-) ).

This is exactly what i wanted in a class.
Cheers.

Keep your zerker armor its the most expensive and still the most useful. Trinkets can make a decent dent, unless you are going for full tank.

celestial is more expensive, about doublethe price in fact, 1g 41s 25c per charged quartz crystal, 62s 81c for a powerful blood. (and annoyingly, you can’t just buy it, you have to get the raw crystals and charge them yourself, one per day, it takes 25 crystals to make one charged, and you can get 22 per day if you don’t get an extra harvest or a charged pr 5 crystal harvest)

AND you need to buy the recipes, not discover them

well cele ain’t exactly tanky so…yeah changing trinkets is the cheapest, both in time and money, way.

How u came up with this composition without knowing the boss mechanics?

Are you saying bosses won’t need blocks, heals, quickness, might, prot, vuln, dodges, and faster skill recharges?

Unless the bosses turn us all into turtles with a pre-set skill bar then this is how you get maximum buff uptime, skill recharge, defense, healing, and damage.

yes, but probably something else is vital to actual have a chance to kill a boss. They specifically said current tactic won’t work, yet you are prepping for a standard vanilla boss fight. who knows, maybe it will work on first boss but i don’t think so

woo nice guys! welcome everydev! nice to meet ya!

Rym.1469:

To stack Protection and spread long Regeneration to multiple targets, to bump Protection from Ventari’s Will to 3.5 or 4.5 seconds, to stack some might and ton of swiftness, to gain nearly permanent Retaliation or more Resistance, with Shield skills & trait to get huge boon durations…..

People don’t use it’s whole potential.

True story

Aside your examples, protection (elite) you can stack some duration e then blow them for other upkeeps or legend swap for damage.
A thing you might be missing is that f2 is aoe and affects your party members…so i guess here the reasons are just overwelming

staff can dish out a decent damage, even if running in cleric’s

Here is the post. The defiance bar got canned, no specific mention on mobile or rooted. I guess based on how it now works and our testing a feedback it will decide it’s final design before launch.

Shield

We were trying out defiance bars on player skills in a few places, but it didn’t really work out. Defiance bar is balanced around being on creatures which left some pieces of it feeling awkward for players. It also had essentially a duplicate functionality to stability. In the end we felt like it didn’t play well on player skills so we removed all player defiance bars.

Envoy of Exuberance: Decreased the energy cost from 15 to 10. Fixed a bug so that this skill will properly heal at the target location instead of around you.

Crystal Hibernation: Removed the defiance bar. This skill will now block attacks for the duration while regenerating health. Lowered recharge from 30 seconds to 20 seconds.

actually no, we already got all the info

Are you bringing up the issue of what it looks in preview than actual? I noticed the preview box is a darker contrast so you can see particle effects.

No answer, go into the dungeon start running towards them, kick, ok whatever, only p3 group, so I join with mesmer, kicked before I finish loading mesmer :/ tryhards are funny. I feel like I’ve advanced in some way, up to the third kick ever, maybe I’ll get my 4th tomorrow!

End up getting a group with Rainmaker for it, was a pleasure and he carried my drunk kitten through it,

i’ve never ever ever been kicked out for being a engi for months and i regularly play my sinister build…mesmers are even more accepted i see… XD

ArenaNet stopped supporting Dungeons with new content 3 years ago.
ArenaNet stopped supporting Fractals with new content 2 years ago.
ArenaNet stopped supporting Guild Missions with new content 2 years ago.
ArenaNet stopped supporting Raids with new content.. starting Oct?

Ultimately I only bring this up because ArenaNet has a strong history of not supporting us with new content. I just wonder when this will happen for raids too, another aspect some of us will grow to love and it will then lose support. With that said, they are adding supposedly new world bosses that are challenging, so we got that going for us?

Fractals is getting a revamp and additional rewards (like the new weapon skins we announced) with the expansion. You can read more about this here:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-brand-new-fractals-of-the-mists-legendary-backpacks-ascended-salvaging-and-more/

Guild Missions, as we have announced this week, will be getting a lot of love so to align with the new guilds structure coming with Heart of Thorns. I’m personally very excited for this! There’s a blog post here with much more info:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-mission-changes-and-improvements/

We’re serious about delivering quality, challenging encounters with our raid content, and as Steven said in our announcement of Raids, we have 3 raid wings being developed, the first of which will become available shortly after HoT launch. These raids are going to be intense, and ask of players not just their time, but their skill.

Don’t just take my word for it, this weekend we’re allowing you to play our content as part of the Beta Weekend Event. We’ve spent a lot of time and poured a lot of love into this content, and simply cannot wait for players to get their hands on it.

was about to write that. only dungeons are sorta dismissed but i’ll honest..i’m fine with that..they are sorta tied to the personal story, are a good gold maker and imho, shouldn’t get any more attention for now…fractals/raids are the future

gin.7158:

So, how good do you guys perform the rotation? for the condi rotation, I think I can only remember or pull off 16 skills from the rotation. The rest only spams the prioritized skills.

power is a a bit more flexible but since flamethorwer’s wall can’t be reliably laid down i often switch out FT for an eventual needed utility. Let’s be honest too IP in long fight is a DPS loss but acceptable if you add utility, is not always about the damage you know!

Anyway Power rotation is harder than condi rotation since it requires some cooldown to maximise effect (vulnerabilty stacks) and ft+eg combos even after years are still an amazing exercise for the fingers
Condi rotation basically is bomb #2#3, nades #2#4#5 pistol #4#2#3, FT#2#4 relative toolbelts always on CD whichever happens first. Bomb and nade #2 is very fast so always check for them, then pistol than FT. Nade#1 in downtimes. Super easy.

Crystal Reid.2481:

Boon stacking and condition removal prioritizes your subgroup first.

This was a doubt i had. Awesome. Ty for the reply!

I guess the only solution is to move away from the server idea…ESO made few things right, WvW campaigns were one of them.

Basically there are active like 10 campaign and player would join what they prefered. This would need some adjustment/balance, might even be tied to a guild level decision, dunno.
But that would resolve population issue greatly.

Levetty.1279:

Hey if other classes can stack boons it might step on the toes of the classes Roy likes to play.

except that balance is a team result, not a single person…roy was just the herald here (dehehe) anyway it was right…the stackability was insane and let’s be honest, the build wasn’t even that great so…not exactly a nerf but a fix. imho.

EdwinLi.1284:

Currently HoT mobs in beta hit hard towards players that lack proper amount of toughness and/or Vitality.

With some abilities designed to be unavoidable players will need to rethink what stats they put into their gears for HoT area.

My best guess is that HoT mobs are being adjusted and designed around slaughtering any player that would go full DPS or any type of build that would ignore Toughness and Vitality.

My worst is that Toughness may be adjusted to be far more useful like how they plan to adjust Healing Power for HoT.

If you ask Anet mention something about Healing Power affecting condition damage or something.

link to that pls? this would make my dream condi/healing rev a thing! :-D

If you have to keep money in check, i’d suggest to roll over a soldier armor and zerker/valk trinkets/weapon….after HoT rolls out you can adjust easily and cheaply

I couldn’t care either way what happens to the animation, though I imagine it took quite a bit of work so I’m not sure how willing they are to remove it. That said, I think functionality and usability should take precedence over visuals. After all, if the skill sucks then nobody will use it.

It just needs that initial AoE burst. I have no problem with a cooldown, though these can be augmented and reduced by adding a higher energy cost. I’d even go as far as saying 40 energy would be worth it on kitten cooldown to give that initial 3 stacks of stab. 3 stacks for 5 seconds would be pretty good. That way you can get a really good burst out and sustain the 3 stacks for a while, but it’s at a very high cost and obviously wont be permanent. I know that once you throw in boon duration it can be permanent, but this would be at the cost of using absolutely no other skills, other than auto-attack.

Just a thought on how it could be balanced.

it is a bit OP like you propose. It just needs the first pulse on cast and that’s all

Assuming leveling through PvE world exploring, seems like Sigil of Speed/swiftness on kill -food will be pretty much required for Revenant.

target a critter or enemy/passive near where you want to be, use the shiro shadowstep, use it again, use it again, you are now 3600 units away from where you were 2 seconds ago.

we also have 8 seconds of 50% movement speed with a 10 second recharge, which is only slightly worse than a 100% uptime 25% buff, except it also works in combat.

we have some INSANE mobility.

(and as mentioned, we have a 100% 33% speed buff when in dragon stance)

we used to do some clunky stuffs to have mobility (we still can tho) like target shadowstep or about-face retreat in shiro and double stance swap for impossible odds.
Now with glint we can have perma swiftness that pretty much covers it.

SkiTz.4590:

Its not the might stack,

its the quickness. They have TOO MUCH uptime/access to quickness with the recent We heal as one buff….

Everything else is fine but that boon is ridiculous

to properly have high uptime of quickenss you have to sacrifice too many damaging traits…yes they will cast fast, but hit low…

After the change in focus of Mallyx’s playstyle, this trait no longer synergizes with it’s toolset. If self condis aren’t coming back, this trait should probably be changed to something different or triger on the number of condis on your target instead, helping hybrid builds.

Nooooooo. This trait can still give that pre nerf Mallyx style of play to power builds where you get stronger the more condis on you.

Please dont take that style of play away from me, Bolstered Anguish is this playstyles last hope.

Yes like i said this is how we work now: condi/conditank.
Before we had the same role in a different and sorta skillful way (also only really workable against other condis) now we are simplier but stronger.
I repeat again, let’s try and give Roy all the feedback. After all in Roy we trust, no

It was a lot more high risk, high reward style though. Of course I’m still going to try it out, but the new Mallyx doesn’t really seem to have any real depth anymore.

On this we all agree i guess

I love you for this Roy. Mace is so much more fun than sword anyway~

PS: Any chance Mace might get its power scaling tuned up a bit? I actually really enjoyed using it on a power set, but I felt like I was gimping myself despite the easy mightstacking

Yeah would be awesome for hybrid setups…just the scaling ^^
