[Elite Spec concept] Channeler

This elite spec has the capacity to channel a single legend and transform into an avatar of them. The cost the channeler faces is that they can't have more than one weapon set. Channelers weapon of choice is the greatsword and have access to the Legendary Avatar, Varesh.

ChannelingChanneling is the [F2] ability on a 10s cooldown, and turns your character into an avatar of the legend, replacing your weapon skills. Sigils and stats of your current weapon kit are applied to the Avatar. While channeled you cannot swap legends and must be attuned to it for a minimum period of time. Traits that apply to legend skills do not apply to their avatar skills.

I kinda like the idea, since elite specs are usually about taking some aspect of a profession and flipping it into something new. At the same time Im not 100% sure about the idea, I wouldnt want my character model to be something else all the time.
