zencow.3651 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 How is revenant skills going to work? Energy system? Which legend would we pick up?Revs are constrained by energy for the skills that have an upkeep but other classes' weapon skills don't cost energy so won't they be able to maintain the high upkeep energy skills indefinitely at no cost (super broken) regardless of what legend is picked?Or is this going be even more 'core' where revs will be treated as warriors since they weren't a thing until later on?

DeadlySynz.3471 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 They probably didn't think this particular thing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign.1093 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 my thinking is all core elites will simply be on counter after cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm thinking the rev isnt even included since its an expansion class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedmon.6798 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I think the skills you pick up are a one time cast anyway..Im not sure actually but that seems most reasonable to me atleast.Doubt they will add an energy bar just for this event.

Turk.5460 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I feel like picking up rev skills is will be far more beneficial than any other profession, considering the skillsets are unchanging per pickup. Rev skills are definitely going to be more useful than other professions, if their preview of Thief pickups is any indication of how the other profession skills are going to be...

Even though its a expansion class, it still has core (or base) skills, then HoT and PoF elite specs...I assume its going to be a mix of Shiro/mallyx/dwarf skills, Not sure how they would add tablet skills without the heal. And I'd guess they won't be upkeep skills so they can share a CD with your skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownmug.8357 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Non-revs will probably get the Consume Facet skills (Infuse Light, Gaze of Darkness, etc.) since the devs seem to consider Herald the same thing as core rev a lot of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Chris Cleary.8017 Posted June 27, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted June 27, 2019 We thought about this, Revs will drop orbs like any other profession and you'll be able to inherit slightly modified versions of Revenant skills and use them on any profession (including Revenant). Yes, you can pick up your own profession's orb :open_mouth: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far not a lot of people are liking it because that's how you know it will stick if a big majority of the people like it. wvw is like pvp in a sense where they should be equal enough balance that people will compete with one another. Fun gimmicks don't really work in competitive games to the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick.8967 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Well this will be worth the further delay to any meaningful progress on alliances, won't it? Won't it?I mean, all the dev time this must have taken up when they could have been working on real progress on wvw.This is just a gimmick. Or a bad joke on the wvw players. What a waste of dev time...Oh well, back to something else. Let me know when they release alliances..my original guess looks wildly optimistic, I reckon summer 2020 at the earliest now.

Doesn't matter if it's just temporary. It's an event. Do you call festivals also bad and a waste of dev time? Because they fill pretty much the same purpose.

Removing the event and just leaving the bonuses would probably have the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budds son.3725 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Honestly should have just done a core class only week, no HoT or PoF classes, this core swap idea is gonna make everyone not play for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
