Abilities
Profession mechanic
Revenants can channel the Mists to gain the powers of certain legendary figures of the past, by using legendary stances such as:
Legendary Dwarf Stance.png
Legendary Dwarf Stance — Invoke the power of the legendary dwarf king Jalis Ironhammer.
Legendary Demon Stance.png
Legendary Demon Stance — Invoke the power of the legendary demon Mallyx the Unyielding.
Revenants use a resource called energy, which regenerates over time. Activating skills uses energy, some even degenerating energy while active, making energy management critical for gameplay.
The revenant can have two legendary stances equipped, and of these only one can be active at any given time. Like elementalists and engineers, revenants have a single weapon set. They do not use weapon swapping but instead swap between channeling two legends. Channeling replaces the last five skill slots on the skill bar, depending on the current legend: the healing skill, three utility skills, and the elite skill. Revenant traits tend to synergize with the skill set, similar to a skill type.[1]
When channeling a spirit, the interface changes slightly to reflect the spirit channeled. For instance, when channeling Jalis, ice spikes are seen behind the utility skills, while when channeling Mallyx, black spikes can be seen.
