During the last beta weekend for the upcoming Heart of Thorns expansion for Guild Wars 2, we were able to explore the new area of the game as well as try out the new class known as the Revenant. This class combines aspects of both and assassin and mage as you traverse the mists to summon daggers, hammers and more to subdue your opponents.

I put together this preview for you guys so that you can get a good idea with how the abilities look in game as well as their damage against different enemies. I also take close up shots of the abilities themselves so that you can see if they are effected better by certain stats as well as their damage output and ability cooldown.

Enjoy the video and be sure to read the written version of this preview to see all the detail I talk about more clearly. Have you been able to play as the Revenant in the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns beta weekend? Let us know your experiences in the comments.
