Odokuro.5049 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Trying to find a race to make my Rev, that isn't the common or "Go-to", race for this class/spec, that still has the Rev feel to it. So far I am very much considering Sylvari for it, it's not a common choice for one, and two, the race itself has a glow to go along with the color swirl the class has around the hand/forearm.

miguelfermi.3792 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'd say it depends on the role you want to play.If you go healer i suggest sylvari since they were taught by Ventari so having his tablet makes a lot of lore sense.For other roles there is less of a lore conection but I like human for pdps since you will be using Shiro a lot and charr for condi (blood legion female for extra lore points).No other stance has any connection to specific races so thats all i got.

Vasdamas Anklast.1607 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Lots of human, asura and sylvari revenants running around. Yet I rarely find charr, go for charr I'd say. Fits your thread title pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catchyfx.5768 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Asura and Norn I would say. Maybe im unlucky but saw very few norn revenants. Revenants are rare on itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knighthonor.4061 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 NORN is best for Revenant since they have background in that kind of thing with their racial which we can't use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits your thread title pretty wellI see more Charr Revenants than anything other that's not human.I can't even remember having seen a single Norn revenant, despite their culture being based on legends and becoming a legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexi.1398 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Well....we're pretty much all biased to think what we have personally seen is representative of the larger population, but i'd say it's about even really. then, i also play with potato settings, so human and sylvari look the same to me ^^.

Eros.6801 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Sylvari is in a rare sight for me, but seeing how next season/saga is heading to i would say make a charr or norn for extra/changes in some dialogues during the story, just like the sylvari during HoT and human or some other races during PoF and LW. I reroll a charr rev the other day my self :) . Well ofc you can pick whatever if story is not your favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phor.7952 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Shortest Norn you can make. It looks and plays a lot like human, but isn't typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teratus.2859 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I went human because Gw1.Definition of a Revenant is someone who has returned, usually from the dead.So I used that as an excuse to revive my main Gw1 character (Necromancer) in Gw2 as a Revenant.I run a high torment Condi Hybrid build on it so the conversations with Mallx are equally satisfying considering from my personal gameplay lore my Revenant in Gw2 was part of the group that killed him in Gw1, additional salt in the wound.

Maybe in GW2 it does not? My revenent is Charr but he is also almost never played. I found it a boring class to play. Just not my cup of tea (and besides I do not like). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also means someone returning back after long absence which was the case with Rytlock as he has never died so he couldnt return back from the dead.

Antycypator.9874 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I went Asura, because Asura always looks elegant, + I think revenant is an elegant class. It has a style. Not like guardians — every skill sounds like garbage, like swinging and banging some scrap and trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoGunner.4953 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I play a Norn Revenant and I think it's cool, but that was only a decision be cause I already had most other races/genders used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to break it to youTrue he never died, but he did return from the mists which is a place that technically functions in part as an afterlife.He also returned with the ability to commune with dead beings who exist in their afterlife there as well as other powers which involve channeling the mists.He also learned these new abilities from the deceased Glint, who is also one of the beings he is able to commune with.He may not have died himself but all the power a Revenant has access to comes from a place of the dead, it's a pretty cool class concept imo.As a big fan of Necromancy in the Guildwars universe the Revenant was a very welcome addition to the game.

Revenants don't channel the beings themselves.That's why I think the Revenants talking with the legends doesn't really fit with the profession "lore".

I forget exactly, but I recall something saying the class pairing for Charr was Guard and Warrior at the top, and Thief being somewhere near the bottom. For Rev specifically, this was the best I could find in terms of surveys...https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=229862ACEE25D37!119&ithint=file%2cxlsx&authkey=!AE5ttnPazXmTewYAsura Revs came up as the most rare... and I kind of anecdotally agree. The Sylvari Rev numbers I think got inflated partially due to HOT's release, since Rev was added with that expansion, and there was a lot of talk about Sylvari having unique story aspects. Its precisely what motivated me to make my Rev sylvari since I was making a new character anyway, and didn't have one yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
