Guild Wars 2

Hi, this feedback is specifically for the ventari legend

TLDR; was kinda fun, but people die so fast its hard to keep them alive

This beta weekend I went back to the same build I tried last test. I had ventari and jalis for my legends, I used cleric gear with water runes. Retrobution, Salvation, Invocation for my trait lines. I’ve got 16k achievment points and have played gw2 since 2012 so while I may not be super elite, I would definitely consider myself to be average.

This weekend was a definite improvement over the last. Weapon swapping helped alot with this as I was able to use a hammer for ranged attacking as well as staff for when I wanted to go in and burst heal. I was testing this character in the verdant brink. I felt using jalis to provide the stone skin of the elite and the swiftness and stability was nice, and the projectile destruction from the tablet came in handy several times.

But I was trying to keep my girl friend alive who was in knights gear on another revenant playing with the hammer and swords. Now admittedly, we were not playing at the top of our game, and I dont have the combos down perfect, but having to spawn the tablet after swapping to the legend felt a bit clunky. also the cooldown after moving it before you could move it again felt just a bit too long. That and stuff just burst her down real fast, which is probably more of a learn to play issue on our part, but I just felt that even when i was focusing on her I couldnt keep her alive with heals alone. Maybe if regeneration which is such a focus of the tablet were a little stronger. Thats, of course, not really a revenant specific thing more of a game buff thing.

Bottom line, I did better job of supporting her when I made a zerk chronomancer, and just blew up the enimies she was fighting. Take all of this with a grain of salt, and this might work better had I been supporting a real tank in nomad gear, but so far, I dont think healing is the most optimal way to aide your allies.

Anybody else have any thoughts on this. I hope this was constructive, and Id like to keep it that way
