Hmm... I kinda like Revenant right now, but I don't really pvp, so...
Sword main hand
It's really good burst and sustain damage.
Sword off-hand
Really good gap closer and burst damage that has lots of synergy with battle scars. I agree that the block it has before was nice though
Hammer
It's not my playstyle, really not. Slow and ranged. I really don't like the skill 2 neither and 4 seems underwhelming.
Staff
My favorite weapon, please don't touch it :(
Really good damage on auto and 5, skill 2 is a good heal if you use centaur stance and some healing power, 3 is a powerful block. 4 is a little bit slow to cast with minimal heal, but it's still good for the condi clean.
Axe
Very good weapon to use with mace. But with others, not so much tbh.
Mace
Condi weapon, I think it's in a good spot. Fire field on skill 2 and leap on 3 is fun to use.
Shield
You really need to use this with sword main hand, dragon stance and healing power / concentration.
Be sure to use f2 after skill 4.
I agree the numbers could be upped a bit more and if skill 5 could be mobile, it would be great.
But in pve, with healing power, salvation and glint trait line, and a good use of the f2 skill, you can have some great results with it.
Shortbow
It's a bit underpowered. Actually, the weapon I like the least on revenant. Some thing should be done with it...
I really think the weapons were meant to be played with their respective stance and specialisation.
I have absolutely no idea how new weapons could fix the problem here, they should fix the weapons we already have.
