Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I recently made my first revenant and am thinking of making a s/s and staff build. Using swords with devestation for damage and prably staff with salvation for healing. Granted it does not provide max damage but for story pve it does not matter (I play what I find fun not what is more effective untill I start with raids and dungeon runs but thats after lvl80).

My main question is wether traits like tranquill benediction, serene rejuvination and selfless amplification also apllies to self. It says outgoing healing and healing of allies but staff auto 3 and skill 4 also heals self while stating it heals allies. Also how does selfless amplification exactly Works?

Outgoing Healing only applies to others. “To allies” generally includes yourself (can’t remember any exception), there are no self heal increasing traits for Revenants and overall self heal is terrible.
It being terrible was necessary for PvP balance since we had too many active (and anti-power) defenses, now that they removed clerics it’s arguable whether this is true.

Selfless amplification gives you a outgoing healing bonus of HealingPower/100 rounded downwards.
Outgoing healing stacks additively so you just sum up the bonuses with 100% and multiply that by the healing to get healing on others.

OutgoingHeal=BaseHeal*(OHB1+OHB2+OHB3…+100)/100
Were OHB is outgoing healing bonus.

Well tranquill benediction and serene rejuvination should boost it then since it applies to allies. It also works well with th staff then. Though it might indeed be better to take invocation then. In the end trying out different build is part of the fun of this game so…

Serene rejuvenation (and tranquil balance) does not, it’s a regular outgoing healing bonus, just a bad tooltip.

Tranquil benediction applies regen to whomever catches the staff orb, not really useful since facet of light on glint gives perma regen.

Ok, thanks in any way. Then I’ll best not waste my points on salvation during the leveling part of pve.
