Guild Wars 2

I just seems so weak.

I was playing with this build a while ago, and it’s a lot of fun.

Ventari was the last legend I gave a try, but he’s indeed worth playing. Can’t tell for sure how much impact my heals had on the allies against the Verdant Brink legendaries, but I felt a lot tougher even in berserk gear. You can swap the runes for Monk.

I feel that going glint and keeping the heal passive on essentially does everything ventari can plus more. Just not worth it, simply the time wasted and excess energy to just move the tablet to follow you makes it not worth. But to each their own, I’m sure someone enjoys it.

What bothers me it’s that it might be designed thinking of a mobile support role which sounds really nice if you think raids and wvw, while being in the thick of battle, it does heal quite a decent ammount even with full damage gear (Zerker in PvE and no healing power mods in PvP). In reality it feels underwhelming because summoning the tablet takes slightly more than a heal from water attunement in eles, what you achieve with Ventari’s Will and Natural Harmony can be done way faster with blasted water fields, the projectile blocking is nice, the elite is sort of meh since it really has it’s use in PvP and WvW, where knocking back foes might be of use, but casting Natural Harmony 2 times is better in PvE, overall you lose more than you win in PvP/WvW and it’s use in PvE it’s limited to the situation you’re in, it’s good for bosses with projectiles, but that’s it, you can give perma regen and perma protection with glint and have a decent ammount of blind and weakness with staff and facet of darkness for party support.

I feel like the energy cost is high. And I feel the only reason for this is its synergy with Blinding Truths. It’s just silly to base the cost of a skill on a trait intended to bolster it.

Definitely was not weak at what it is designed to do (group support).
