With Heart of Thorns, a new class is available in Guild Wars 2. However, in the current beta version, it was so weak that the values have now been significantly adjusted upwards.

Clearly, the Revenants have lost a bit too much of their power during their rebirth process, as player criticism was clear: The new class deals too little damage and is therefore not much fun. For this reason, ArenaNet has decided to improve all abilities without exception. While many skills simply increase the base damage – between 10% and 100% – others reduce the casting time.
Activating a legend will be spontaneous with the next patch and is intended to offer a smoother and more exciting gameplay experience.
Especially the abilities of the staff and hammer troubled the developers, as they increased the duration of effects (both buffs and debuffs) to present a greater threat to enemies, especially in PvP.
If you want to see the complete list of all changes, you can do so here. It would likely be easier to give the Revenant a completely new chance and test it at the next beta event – as it reads like a complete overhaul. The patch also brings the last legend, namely the abilities of Shiro Tagachi, into the game.
