Conduit
“"Hero of Tyria. I fight with you."
Connect with a mysterious entity born of the Mists, Razah, and act as their conduit in battle. Gain Cosmic Wisdom and take on the stats and abilities of other revenant legends, amplified by Razah's power.
— In-game description
Conduit is an elite specialization for the revenant unlocked with the Visions of Eternity expansion.[1]
Calling upon the Mists-born being Razah, the conduit taps into a deeper well of power through affinity-fueled Cosmic Wisdom forms augmenting the revenant's equipped legend. In Razah's own Legendary Entity Stance, other legends also confer Resonance that may add bonus effects with their presence.[2]

Profession mechanic[edit]
“Channeling the power of the mysterious legend Razah, a being born of the Mists, the Conduit will gain the ability to use Cosmic Wisdom, changing Razah’s forms. Each form will grant boons to the Conduit and/or debilitating effects on enemies, and by using legendary skills to build the Conduit’s Affinity resource, they can increase the duration of Cosmic Wisdom.
- The conduit gains a new F2 Release Potential, a new legend-specific skill.
- The conduit gains a new F3 ability to channel different forms corresponding to the active revenant legend.
- Affinity, a new resource gained through using legend skills that cost energy improves the potency of Release Potential.

Lore[edit]
“Centuries ago, the hero who defeated the fallen god Abaddon met a strange entity imprisoned deep within the Realm of Torment: Razah, a being born of the Mists. Freed by Abaddon’s death to seek their own purpose in life, Razah chose to accompany the hero across Tyria, and their boundless curiosity led them to study and master any number of martial and magical disciplines.
But Razah’s story seemed to have ended with their companion’s; no one has seen or heard from them since. They may have returned to the Mists to wander or fallen to the corruption they once feared. They might have learned to mimic human behavior precisely enough to live a hundred lives in obscurity. Or they could have been watching our world, still learning—and waiting for someone like you.
“Razah has been watching Tyria from the Mists. Channel their power, assume different forms, and devastate the battlefield as a conduit. Channel Razah and gain ascension skills. Gain their powers, but only for a limited time. Learn their abilities to better understand the best path to victory. Through your connection to the assassin, warrior, mesmer, monk, and dervish, unleash powers that have not been seen since the legends themselves. Through your connection to Razah, find strength, resilience, courage, and purpose, as the conduit.
