[Suggestion] Have Spirit Boon work in reverse

[xihorus.2804]

Been playing around with some Revenant builds using the Invocation specialization and I noticed that the Spirit Boon trait feels a bit backwards.

 

As an example, take Mallyx - Spirit Boon gives resistance when swapping into Mallyx, a stance that already has resistance via Pain Absorption (as well as the Demonic Defiance trait from the Corruption specialization). When swapping to Jalis, a stance with stability via Inspiring Reinforcement, Spirit Boon gives stability. In both cases the Spirit Boon trait "doubles down" on a boon that is already accessible to the associated stance.

 

**Suggestion:** Have Spirit Boon grant boons based on legend the revenant is _leaving_, not the one they are _invoking_.

 

For instance, take a revenant build using the Mallyx and Jalis legends. Swapping into Jalis would provide resistance, while swapping into Mallyx would provide stability. This would eliminate the "doubling down" effect and provide a more natural synergy between the two stances.

That sounds damn nice, yeah. Feeds into the "jack of all things" / roleswapper setup of the class, too. Should ANet ever decide to actually explore it, that is.

I have actually been thinking the same thing lately, and how it would bridge the gap between the two legends, even if just it's just a singular boon. I think this would be a great change.

Each legend plays different. That would make things worse.
