Guild Wars 2

So now that Rev has been dropped by many raid groups in favour of 5/5 mirror comp, is it too much to ask anet to buff Ventari into a viable healing spec for raiding?

Ventari will never get buffed to the level you expect. From numbers, it is already a strong healer but lacks the damage buff that druid can provide. On the other hand it is able to stack boons on a party like no other healer (regen/protection/might/fury). But it is true that their offensive bonus is nothing compared to GotL.

If such a bonus should be given to Rev it would not be to Ventari but rather to a new Elite specialization for which we would build Salvation/Invocation/XX and slot Ventari/new guy. We’d use the tablet to heal a lot and proc legend change bonus while use the other mechanics to buff the party.

Maybe the next elite spec won’t be a healing oriented spec, but in that case I have hopes that the new set of tools and the loss of Glint will provide a good environment to be competitive in term of DPS.
For now the best is to hope that your friends will accept that you pull out enough DPS out of Rev because 24 k is not really that bad. If people would do the DPS they think they do after golem test, raid encounters would not last more than 2 minutes

Taking Druid is more for the offensive buffs than the actual healing for most encounters. Even something like a Condi Druid does a great job at healing (plus buffing) to where a Ventari Rev would have to dump actual stats into Healing Power to make an impact.

completely unrelated, but i’d love to get longbow for our next elite spec.

But it has to be used as a melee weapon!!

(sorry for the derail, but I had to throw in my two copper there)

Lol I suggested this on a post requesting longbow.

1. stab your foe in the face with an arrow, range 130.

One buff which I’d love is that as long as one of your legends is Ventari, the tablet will not disappear when you swap to your other legend.

You can no longer move it or cast the healing/cleansing from it, but it’ll do its usual pulsing and you don’t have to replace it when you go back to Ventari.

I’d much prefer an asura-shooting bow xD

I’ll add that to the list, alongside the Shark-apult for wvw.
