Revenant's Mesmer skin should only take effect after shields are broken to allow it to work with his passive

[(PSN)Eloraeon]

This would allow Mesmer skin to not waste charges on trash mobs when not needed, play into Revenant's high base shield count and also allow his passive to actually function during his usual gameplay.

It should still negate status damage as usual, just only use stacks when health is damaged, and not give the damage immunity to his shields. Any thoughts?

You could just cast it when your shields run out. Same result.

Or let the passive proc whenever Revenant becomes invulnerable by any means.

Mesmer Skin charges should also "store" status effects Revenant prevented on himself to let Reave do its status transfer to enemies.

I had to look it up yea his passive is. I think its more meant to be a way to kinda keep you safe if your skin wares off also would be why his 4 charges up over shields.

I don't think it will change. Mesmer Skin lengthy cast time and having shield not depleted yet provide you with shied gating while casting it.

I forgot this part of the ability even existed. It's crazy how Revenant has elements of his kit that are just completely disabled by Mesmer Skin, especially when it seems like you're supposed to be keeping Mesmer Skin active as often as possible.

I mean, his mesmer skin also doesn't synergise with his 4th ability either. His 4th redirects the damage he takes into the beams, but he is invulnerable so he doesn't get that. It also doesn't interact with Reave's status transfer, because he is yet again invulnerable.

I also wish he was an actual eidolon frame.

The whole design of the ability is “yes you get 100% DR. But it will be on every single one of your limited number of hits the ability can take”.

Just be honest and say you just want a 2 min long full 100% DR ability.
