Another interesting view of the elite that might offer some counter play is have Right of the Great Dwarf have a 1-3’s channel making the revenant invulnerable and unable to attack, but, give him a break bar. If the condition is met the revenant gains 50% dmg reduction and his allies gain 25% dmg reduction for 5’s with something of a 50 energy cost. In the event that the revenants break bar is broken it cancels the skill and puts it on a 10s cd.
I feel that is a rewarding elite with maybe a few tweaks that offer good game play and counter play. Some problems I can see with having this elite is the possibility in 1v1 situations being spammable as well as it effectively being guardians Renewed Justice. Another possible out come is remove the invulnerability, keep the break bar and just give the revenant the 50% dmg reduction from the start of the channel. Also tweaking the energy to a slightly higher cost such as 65 so that you cannot just switch to Jalis and instantly have access to your elite.
It might a have a few holes in it, but I think that something along these lines could work. Thoughts?
Thanks for the tips! After playing a bit more today I can see how important it is to use focus block and blinds at the right time. I have also noticed that it is a bit more my fault as I seem to put myself in 1v2 situations all to often ):D
EDIT: Another question. I have read around the forums and still being kinda noobish with cleansing teammates when playing bunker. What are ideal and optimal situations where I need to cleanse; or it’s a safe point that the next time I need it I’ll have it off cd. I often run into situations where my teammates are suffering from conditions so i pop a cd or 2 then next thing I know they are back to similar stacks. Should I wait a little longer and risk them being burst?
I haven’t tried any of the interesting new builds on guard since the specialization update and I have mostly been playing medi and bunker back and forth. Since the patch medi just seems outclassed most of the time against anyone with decent mobility. Yet my biggest grip about playing medi guard is if I ever get dazed more than once I suddenly feel useless then inevitably die. How do you guys deal with being dazed multiple times.
It could also be the hard fact that i might need to l2p as I only PvP causally. Most of my trouble comes from mesmers and the condi pressure from signet necro and trap ranger; not to mention i could never imagine killing any form of ele.
I’m lovin everything. Also found a cool tid-bit; after Marcello DiGiacomo talks to Hero-Tron it sounds like (might not be) he sings a 3s bit from Pirates of the Caribbean Davy Jone’s Theme.
Apart from the black border around the screen, I think the UI looks fine. I did a quick mock-up of what it might look like without the border. Feels less claustrophobic.
