New Revenant's E-Spec Weapon - What would be your choice?

[DonArkanio.6419]

Well, I don't think Revenant needs a strict support Spec but something closer to the **Tempest** (thematically upgrading core class). I'd say that we might see something that works with Jalis and Ventari. Or maybe something totally new!

 

For sure Revenant doesn't need another power/condi Spec at the moment.

I don't think revenant needs another support spec. Herald is boonshare and kalla is a enhancer that only performs at 100% with other people in the group.

I agree with not needing another condi spec, but I disagree with the power spec. We currently don't have a real power elite spec.

Ventari+Glint is the support spec

I think revenant should've been strictly melee. Saying that, I'd like a new E spec that at least plays around the revenant's theme, when I look at the wiki image for rev immediately a high mobility great sword, sword and dagger wielder with lots of evasion/dashes comes to mind. Like the archetypical "blind samurai", using the shadowy mists for both mobility and evasions. I love sword + axe skills but feel like the axe should be a dagger as mace, hammer, staff and axe weapons seem really out of place. ( staff isn't too bad though). Lastly only two stances fit the " Channel legendary powers to slaughter foes and unleash chaos on the battlefield " description, those being assassin and demon XD and renegade just feels like it should've been Charr racial skills or a necromancer set since they thematically summon the dead. I'm fairly new but I at least wanted to voice my opinion/perspective as revenant's cool image was what got me into playing.

Well, Renegade feels out od place for me. Just like you said - give it to Charr od Necros, in comparison to other E-specs Renegade brings nothing new to the game.

 

I think It's great that they made Revenant something completely different - it has its problems, yes - and I really like the fact that f.e. hammer is ranged and staff is melee. I'll have to agree with you that axe should've been a dagger. **On the _Retribution_ concept art we see Revenant wielding dagger**. My guess is that it didn't make it into the game because of HoT release date.

 

I don't think that Revs shouldn be _just_ like blind samurai but I get what you're going for and I like it. There are many cool themes to draw from and Revenant needs something that would make it really true to its theme.

My 2019 GW dreams are:

- total rework of Renegade

- updates to Shield

- some love for Core Revenant from ANet

- updates to Off-hand Sword so it's not Axe on steroids

It depends on what you mean by proper power spec. Is Rev in need of high power dmg output or just thematically more straight-forward power spec which isn't an assassin-like.

 

I'd love to have some sort of offensive Jalis spec but I'd rather focus on the Elite that actually changes a bit how you play Revenant. It might be hard to develop but this could be a lot of fun if next E-Spec played more with Energy.

I have tough of Vizier Khilbron with scepter, finishing the collection with the [scepter of Orr](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scepter_of_Orr "Scepter of Orr"), or make that scepter a legendary weapon.
