After many many many hours of farming Dry Top and Silverwaste I was able to get a Heart of Thorns beta stone. This is part 1 of probably 3 or 4 videos. My first impressions for Revenant is it is different. Keeping watch of the energy meter is pretty important if you want to be able to use the high energy skills.

Players were given celestial armor with Dolyak runes, they currently feel really weak compared to the current classes if they were using the same armor set. The hammer is supposed to be a slow high damage weapon but it didn’t feel satisfying to land hits and see big numbers. I’m hoping Revenant will be getting more skills to be able to customize builds and playstyle depending on the content.

Masteries got a new UI since the last beta and is much cleaner but could use some explaining since 50% of the players in the beta didn’t know exactly how to start training a mastery. You first have to select a mastery to train then gain enough experience to “level” it up in order to be able to spend mastery points into it. Now this is supposed to be end game skills us players can use but from what I’ve seen it feels like a lot of grind. Level 1 gliding needs 254k experience. Level 2 gliding requires over 1 million experience. I can’t imagine how much is needed to fully max out one mastery line.

From what we seen of the current map, this is probably just one biome of the three they have mentioned. Plenty to explore and limited waypoints so running and exploring is encouraged and some become contested if there is an event blocking it. Looks like 75mins will be daytime and 45mins of nighttime. Hopefully during anytime of the day events will reward players for staying on the map for both daytime and nighttime.
