Walking the Mists can attract various forces, even the Mists themselves. This specialization will allow the revenant to wield a greatsword and summon the Legendary Razah, a mysterious entity ready to help those fighting for the balance of the world... and of the Mists, allowing them to fight mimicking memories of past heroes.

— Mistwalker release notes

Mistwalker is an elite specialization for the revenant that focuses on memories skills and melee damage. It also allows the revenant to wield a greatsword.

Backstory

Nobody gets unnoticed in the Mists, and riding on the back of a dragon there might have had some consequences, not only in Tyria, but in the Mists themselves.

Razah, a fragment of the Mists that had been in a deep slumber for centuries, woke up to examine what was wreaking havoc in this place of great mystery.

When Razah saw the Commander, it remembered how another Hero fought against fierce threats to humanity. Unfortunately, Razah couldn’t join them, for it was bound to the Mists. However, sensing the powerful energy emanating from the Elder Dragon, Razah tried to reach as many beings as possible, connecting to fighters who called themselves “Revenants”. Razah allowed them to walk through the Mists and summon memories from past Heroes.

Profession mechanic

Mistwalkers wield their greatsword in a peculiar way, letting the Mists carry it for them. The floating greatswords travel alongside the Mistwalkers, allowing them to focus on the power they are channelling.

Mistwalkers use a new skill type, Memories coming from Razah’s past. These memories are torn off from the Mists, wrapping the Mistwalker in a Mists Aura which deals damage to foes around.
