Vaiye.5709 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 From a PvE / WvW standpoint (I don't play PvP much):1 - Legends with additional skills that we can swap in/out. Ex: Glint Elite has a choice of pulsing protection or one for pulsing stability.1b - Or maybe some global "core" skills we can swap in/out with any legend. Ex: New swap-able elite: Restore 50 energy.2 - Greatsword (Power weapon) w/ aoe and mobility skills like Guard & War. (I'm scared if we do get GS it will be terrible compared to war/guard.)3 - Remove target requirement from phase travel / sword 5.4 - Better sustain! - I wish my favorite class was up there with other classes at being top tier for something. Revs have great burst but not good enough against any class with any sustain... PvE as well.I know this is all wishful thinking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Set.7461 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Energy revamp. My idea would be something like this:Instead of resetting energy to 50, swapping legends(in combat) should add to the current pool. IE 30nrg > swap >80nrg. Any overflow should go into legend specific themes. IE start in glint, do some stuff. 60nrg > swap to Jalis >100nrg + 10nrg overflow. Convert that extra into a Barrier formula. Jalis overflow = Barrier/Retaliation(?)Shiro overflow = Quickness/Endurance(?)Glint overflow = Protection(?)Ventari overflow = AOE healMallyx overflow = AOE Torment/ResistanceRenegade overflow = Alacrity(?)/Fervor(lol)My reasoning is energy management always feels like you're being "robbed" when you swap above 50nrg, especially after the removal of Equilibrium.

So basically:You would be a support/healer revenant? how does that hold up in fractals/raids/open world events currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Set.7461 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Support? I was thinking more along the lines of selfishness but I suppose it can also be support. My idea is just making use of wasted energy. You legend swap at 50nrg or above, you just wasted energy. EQ made use of this but it only themed around damage. My idea is like a legend specific Equilibrium(like spirit boon) but with the reset mechanic replace with a +50nrg addition instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf Kai.3682 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Simple, core GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl.8924 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 set so like necro selfishness? so its self buffs only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self or AOE depending on balancing or whatever. The main thing is pretty much the +50 energy on top of current energy rather than reset. The "overflow" turning into buffs just follows that theme of not feeling like you're wasting energy during a swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl.8924 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I like the idea, but it might end up overpowered in spvp and wvw if it can spam boons on everyone.There is possibly too many boons as is, and power creep is a issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Set.7461 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I agree that it could be overpowered. If anything, having these boons apply to yourself and making it AOE in some of the grandmaster traits would push for better energy management as well as build diversity. Lack of build diversity is also something Revs suffer from. For example: Jalis overflow is now an AOE if you choose the very mediocre "Steadfast Rejuvenation" GM trait. Of course, in PVP/WVW, there will be times where you won't get an overflow proc so it's not necessarily spammable but the playstyle is still there for a more hybrid/support role.

Axl.8924 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 The resist/torment thing is interesting.How would that work exactly? would it pulse from you? or would you place a radius down like scourge or staff necro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Set.7461 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ideally, it should pulse from you like diabolical inferno/embrace the darkness. Laying down marks/spirits/traps are gameplay mechanics I never thought was fit for rev but here we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
