Hello! I will be giving my thoughts as a casual player who enjoys open world content. I tested the Vindicator in the Drizzlewood Coast meta events for its offensive and supportive capabilities.
Overall:
I enjoyed it! The skill flipping between Archamoris and Viktor provided a cool balance between offense and support. I appreciate the callbacks to GW1, such as summoning and holding Saint Viktor's Urn and then dropping it for a second effect. I also found the Vin to be easy to pick up, since the utility skills are simply opposites of one another. Since I was testing the class in a large meta event, it's difficult for me to gauge how effective my damage and healing was.
Greatsword:
I thought it was fun to play! Skill 5 felt satisfying to use and the blocks were pretty handy.
Improvements:
When things got tight, I was very reluctant to use the Urn of Saint Viktor to heal my allies because my health was also quite low. I know I could easily activate the Urn and drop it for a quick burst, but I personally think it would be nice to keep that skill pulsing even in clutch moments. Perhaps instead of sapping health, it reduced the Rev's moment speed?
Or, you could draw more inspiration from the GW1 ritualist in that while holding the Urn, you cannot use your weapon skills. Since in GW1, while you are holding a bundle you cannot use martial weapon skills like swords, bows, etc.
I realize this wasn't the most detailed feedback, but I hope it helps! Thank you for the beta and I can't wait for this spec to go live. ^_^
