Anyone seen a successful raid healer?
Wondering if anyone has bothered trying out rev as primary healer in raids.

Yes, but apart from being fun, it brings nothing over Druid or Tempest, realistically speaking.

It does bring a bit more than a tempest but lacks healing and is harder to use.

Indeed that could be little exaggeration, but still, as it is right now, I wouldn’t bring it over other healers, maybe just for fun.
Minstrel’s gear having Power instead of Toughness could help Ventari/Glint Revenant a lot, such a shame that they went with this ultra-defensive stat combination. Or, honestly, any stat with high Healing Power, Power and some boon duration.

I play a healing Revenant in Open World, WvW, and sometimes Raids. It does not in any way lack healing, in fact the numbers are matched with druids. It is more unreliable to use though, I agree. It’s unreliability, along with the fact that everyone is missing out on a potential 15% damage buff from druids, makes Ventari Rev inferior, but it is NOT because of lacking in heals.

It is lacking in heals Ventari might have big numbers popping up frequently but druids have bigger numbers and more frequently. Do the calculations.

As someone who plays both druid and Ventari, it’s not about how frequently you heal, it’s about if you’re able to heal when it’s needed. If you’re popping out heals when everyone is already full, then you’re wasting your time (Unless you’re trying to give everyone GotL). Playing both Ventari and Druid with my raiding guilds, we have not noticed a difference in survivability. At all.

Well that’s because raiding has low healing requirements. Conquest(PvP) does not…

We are not talking about PvP, we are talking about Raids, as that is what the OP is asking for. -_-

And I’m still talking about raids the healing output is not acceptable compared to the damage lost. A tempest for example while decreasing damage increases sustain a lot more being useful for pugs. Ventari can’t do either.

And I’ve literally said that the Revenant is an inferior healer, but not because of healing output, so I’m not even sure why we’rearguing in the first place.
Edit: To add, you don’t bring a Ventari rev for purely healing. You should bring it for tanking, healing, boons, and boon duration all at the same time, covering 4 roles at once.

Indeed but it does not perform these roles well enough to be worth a slot.
Increasing the healing output allows revenants in pve to have a higher personal DPS making up for the lack in other roles. It also solves the issues ventari still has in pvp.
