Guild Wars 2

From testing Ventari I found the Fragments left behind from Energy Expulsion simply don’t persist for long enough to make it interesting to use as a bunker. They need to stay longer on the ground. @ 5 secs you have to pretty much abandon everything your doing to run around and pick them all up (which isn’t much fun or rewarding). Engineer’s Elite med-packs last at least twice as long.

Also, Ventari needs some sort of stability or stun break outside of switching out of the legend otherwise it doesn’t have any ‘reactive’ gameplay. So perhaps giving 1s of stability for each fragment picked up might give it some more scope in both 1v1 point contesting or team-fighting or even WvW.

If that isn’t thematically appropriate then perhaps Protective Solace needs a 3s Blind to give the stance some reactive scope? or a 1s AoE Aegis? That fits with Ventari being a pacifist etc and gives the stance a layer of complexity. Making the Blind or Aegis pulse from Ventari’s Tablet would also differentiate between players who show a better aptitude for controlling the core component of the Stance (the tablet).

Either way in sPvP being in Ventari is a free lunch ticket for your opponent and is a bit underwhelming for WvW as you have to switch out of the stance to survive (which makes the whole point of being in Ventari to BE supportive completely redundant?)
