Guild Wars 2

What if I want to play with Ventari legend? I have no energy for weapon so I changed my legend. And what? My tablet is gone. And why ANet is forcing me to swap legends? I want to use them because of the situation not because of the “omg I have no energy, I don’t need to use Jalis right now but I need energy” or “omg, stun! I need to change my legend to break it! But what to do with Ventari legend for 10sec?”

There’s a one problem that people don’t understand – Ventari wasn’t made for solo play.

I think it’s more like a mobile medical centre – place Ventari and people will go there if they’ll need help. With cleric’s set and with #8 skill I had 2k healing on target, plus regeneration.
Elite was amazing with kb from bridges in WvW but sometimes #6 is bugged and I can’t see my tablet. Also, #6 uses your energy so people will know what’s going on. And tablet needs time to release the energy. Because of that, everything seems too slow.

I had Ventari/hammer/cleric combo and it was amazing for WvW. Not for 1vs1 or zerg AoE but for healing only. And bubble is the best skill for Revenant.

Tablet should be insta cast after swapping to Ventari. #6 should stay as a skill for placing your tablet. The idea of moving tablet with you is really bad. Even if #6 will work as “return button” it will be much, much slower to work with tablet because before placing your tablet, you’ll need to use return button. Tablet will start moving into your direction and before you’ll place it again, the tablet will be next you.

People don’t like Ventari because GW2 was about zerk and dmg. Because of that, healing looks strange.

Also, a word about downed state. I can’t control #2 skill. It would be great if it worked with camera direction. And I had a big problems with that skill in PvP, especially Skyhammer (at mid point, point B, I guess). Sometimes, that skill instead of teleports your enemy away, teleports your enemy to you. It happens more often, if there is an obstacle around you.

1. Trait
Corruption
* Venom enhancement – Revenant doesn’t make any posion attack, even with weapon. Useless trait. Forget. I’m an idiot.

Invocation

• Shrouding mists – most traits from that trait line are about damage not healing, IMO it doesn’t fit

2. Skills

• Empowering misery - consume conditions would kill build about copying your conditions but without that it’s useless (IMO). What about giving Resistance after healing?

• Vengeful hammers -remove casting time.

• Banish Enchantment - that skill encourages you to spam it; instead of applying confusion and removing boons, apply confusion per removed boon (max 5). Remove bonus confusion.

3. Ventari
I used cleric’s set and it was amazing to be a monk. I really need that. I love my hammer/ventari combo.
I understand that Ventari’s tablet wasn’t made to moves with you. It would be impossible to help your team without going to them. People cry about that but please, don’t change it. I needed a time to get used to moving your ventari’s tablet but now it’s not a problem.

But:

• Range for #6 tablet moving is really too short.

• Natural Harmony – radius is too small

• With 2 different energy it’s impossible to let the tablet stays after swapping to another legend but is it possible to cast tablet automatically after swapping to Ventari legend?

Weapon
Staff

• dmg is still too low

• Warding rift – WR should send projectile back to its source; longer duration – 3 sec

Hammer and sword

• Sword damage it too low

• Intended or not not, I’m still taking damage while leaping through the Mists with Phase Smash and Unrelenting Assault.

Energy
I really don’t like it. IMO cooldowns would be better. Yes, GW1 had energy system but not like this one. My ideas:

• Remove energy system (the best idea)
• Remove energy from weapons; only cooldowns [THIS!]
• Make one energy bar for the Revenant not for the legend; with that, make the energy to stay always at 100%.
• Lower the energy costs. Impossible odds for example, with that stance I can make only few hits?
• Slow down and lower the energy costs with specific traits.

Revenant:
Lack of swiftness, condi removal, stun breaker (change your legend -really?), boons. You need to work on that.
But Rev will be my main even if he’ll suck after the release. I love healing and I love the idea of battlemage. Thank you for that class.

But I’m worried about one thing. Is Glint specialization going to be another legend? Nobody says that specialization changes your class mechanic but… Necro got GS and new shroud, engi will get hammer to close combat, dh got bow and traps, thief will get staff, druid will get nature magic and staff – you see? It’s something different. What about us? Are we going to get another legend, and then another legend too? Sounds boring. Maybe with Cantha we’ll get a ritualist specialization with ghost spamming. And that sounds different.

Sorry for my english. I did my best.

I had problems only with the Revenant. I had no problems with every other class/spec with mobs from Maguuma. Please, ANet, don’t change it! You did that with BWE for GW2 and it was a mistake. The difficulty of the PvE content it’s a joke because of that.
Leave it as it is.

I’ll buy it but I want to start as a Revenant and I want to go to the Maguuma as soon as possible. Farming gold to buy gems to buy LS2 would be so frustrating.

Thank you Zalladi and dsslive

Hello!
I’m new so I can’t check it. Does Living Story season 2 offer only story or also maps? I’m asking because if it offers maps, I think I can’t get into to the Maguuma without going to the Silverwastes, right?
