I am looking forward to the Revenant filling that Ritualist itch I've been meaning to scratch since I played Guild Wars Factions. The power of the mists compels you!
Most exciting thing? There's no way to pin point one thing, Revs just seem waaaay too awesome!!! I cannot wait to play this ghostly toon! All armor sets and weapons already bought and the look has already been planned! My body is ready
The fact that legends' skills have almost no cooldowns really excites me, makes energy a lot more valuable! Looking forward to some clever energy management.
A heavy class with a burst mechanic similar to my favorite class the thief but the flexibility of an end. Arenanet is really nailing it down...and just cuz it can use a hammer too!
I like how the class is adapted to the world of tyria. Also I'm buying a new char slot for it (the 9th slot), of course I'm goin to try it out and see how balanced it is.
I love the new UI for the Revenant. Just all aspect of the way energy is tracked and the flashy legend switching. They have done a real snappy job of making the new UI bar for Revenant very exciting.
Revenant seems awesome, doesn't matter where you begin;
Colos, effects, transformations, legends whispering into your ear - it's a MUST HAVE xD
Besides visual and sound effects it seems that it'll be well rounded class, able to effectively build into conditions and direct dmg (judging from traits). I'm definitely looking forward to it
To be honest the most exciting thing about the expansion is the Revnant, not just the concept of the profession, but the actual mechanics of it, switching right-hand skills is a pretty awesome change of pace from all the other professions who either switch weapons or in the Elementalist's case attunements (which is essentially the same thing only using the same weapon).
To be honest, I wish they'd actually incorporate whole skillset legends, where your left-hand skills actually depend as much on your legend as on what weapon you have equipped, or if that's too much, at least added effects on universal weapon skills depending on which legend the revnant has on.
I'm really looking forward to the Revenant and what it will bring to the current meta, there seems to be some talk about HoT shaking things up and there would be no better way to do this than to overhaul conditions. With the new class being a heavy armor condi user it makes sense for them to redo some things and make some much needed tweaks, as it is conditions are flat-out secondary to direct damage.
Here's hoping they make it so that all the Necro players can be part of the PVE meta again, I love the class but doing end-game PVE with it seems really daunting with all the player hate surrounding them.
The use of an energy bar and skillshots, this class is looking like something to draw in a MOBA crowd, still. A lot of his abilities look fun, I just wish we had seen more of his weapon combos.
The most exciting thing? Hmmm, I'm going to have to go with the weapon choices. I think ranged hammers is a fantastic idea, and it's nice to see hammer not be slow and clunky. Also, still praying the Revenant specialization uses greatsword, because I NEED to have Twilight on my Revenant. I NEED it
