The most exciting thing I've found about the Revenant is that the mechanics behind it allow for a lot of combat movement and shifting. The TAUNT ability is obviously the biggest reveal because it's not just for the Revenant but other classes will get it through their Specilizations as well. But there's also the Temporal Rift that tears the fabric of space and time into the Mists to make what is essentially a gravity well. And there's the mist wall ability against projectiles that moves with the player; a huge step up from the Paladin's shield bubble that is static in place from where cast and cannot move.
I also really like the Legend swapping effects the right-bar, not the left, that is big...huge info drop that I'm excited to learn more about. With the Elementalist, their Attunments swap out which abilities they have in the 1-5 related to the weapon carried; only a few utility spells -such as the Elemental- uses this mechanic to change as well. But from what's read about the Revenant is that their weapon is static (can't change during combat) and their utilities FLIP based on which of their two equipped Legends they swap to. That's pretty cool. Although from the images that they provided only the utility spells (heal + 3 utility) changed and the Elite skill stayed the same in both Legends channeled.
General use of the Mists for weapons, all powerful Legends for the Utility. It is a bit different than what people thought though in that holding a Staff would channel a great mage from the past, a hammer of course would be a Dwarf and so on. That's what you get the image form when you think of this at start, but consider that the races utilize all different types of weapons and even Elementalists use things like Daggers makes more logical sense to tie it to the person than the weapon held.
If anything the way the Revenant is so similar to the Elementalist yet so different is what excites me the most. The prospect of running around in full armor swapping from a tanky style Dwarf channeled to a destructive conditions Demon channeled sounds so cool (I can't say "looks cool" just yet until I see it on my Asura instead of some ugly kitty cat Char that they shown :P ).
Since when is Tuesday a direction?
Mallyx stance is probably my top choice, though what I am really excited about is that "a revenant can choose from a pool of legends"
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
This profession is going to be a beast, both in spvp and wvw. Not so sure about pve though.
But yeah, it looks amazing and I can't way to play it!
Taunting. It represents something that might actually start to possibly alter how dungeons in the game play out. There's a good reason none have really been added (aside from a path or so), and that's because nobody enjoys a majority of them. It doesn't help either that the first dungeon anyone was introduced to (Tombs of Ascalon) was an absolute nightmare in terms of difficulty spike. General strategy throughout most of it involved spamming the boulder knockdowns and little else, doubly so when you fight the twins - who you were required to keep separate from one another, and without any formal or true "aggro" mechanic, meant cheesing the fight as much as possible...
Which meant everyone had boulders. I don't want to see them embrace the "Holy Trinity" so to speak, but taunting represents something players can actually use to influence the attention of it's target. The doesn't support Tank/Healer/DPS, but it does push for DPS/Control/Support. And all Control ever really meant, far as I've seen, was slow or stop an enemy or enemies for a bit.
Honestly, throwing hammers. Holy hell is that rad, on so many levels.
That and yay for more heavy armor classes! Now there are an equal number of light/medium/heavy armor classes, and that greatly pleases my OCD.
I m looking forward to the seems like ability to taunt
