Guild Wars 2

i played with ventari for a while and i dont understand how
in 1 hand i need to heal my allys by moving the tablet across them which is hard + long casting time of healing skill
on the other hand i need to move left and right and fight others and use my own skills
i dont have enough energy for both and i certenly cant follow it and me at the same time
Im a man i cant do 2 things at once

What aspect of the game? PvE, PvP, or WvW?

Well ventari seems slow and weak anywhere. High cost utilitys, bad heal for yourself + high casting times.

How to Ventari in one lesson :
- engage range mob/player with any other legend.
- switch to Ventari.
- summon stone.
- use protective solace.
- kill the dumb range thing if it doesn’t use melee attack.
- If it use melee attack, change to your other legend.

That’s all you can do with ventari, I hope I was clear enough on the methodology.

You forgot:
- once mob is dead, switch out Ventari (re-equip if ranged mobs re-encountered)

@ OP – it’s an issue which I notice quite a few people are having. To use the tablet to max efficiency, you basically have to babysit it 24/7 and not do much else. The tablet’s 6 heal can be done every 2s so you should spam as often as possible. As the tablet doesn’t move, you have to either put it on top of a zerg, or for mobile fights, move it constantly. Don;t bother with wvw zerg’s, tablet take’s to long to follow.

Basically, they need to make it so the tablet can look after itself for a little bit whilst you actually fight/ do X. Right now, just put on full healing gear and try and be a heal bot – even then you won’t be game changing and in fractals the dps loss will be noticeable.

There have been suggestions that tablet auto follows and spawns when legend is switched too, both of which I like. This would then allow 6 to become a proper heal skill.

Practice makes perfect. Had no problems with it myself.

Ventari was a very fun Legend to play, and there was a lot of use for it in PvE.

In a typical dungeon where everyone stacks for the most part it was easy to manage heals/cleanses as well as position the tablet for proper projectile coverage. The hard part was in instances (primarily fractals) where the fights take place in more open areas where players are known to run around a bit more. In cases like those it’s really a judgement call. If the rest of the team knows to hug around the tablet when they need support of sort the fight goes fairly smoothly. Otherwise, it can very easily become a full time job chasing down team mates to help them out.

The only difficult/annoying portion of the Legend is that about half the skills have a slight cast time which means the skills will either get queue’d, interrupt a chain, or be inaccessible while cc’d.

Salvation will offer the best Healing modifiers, but Invocation can be used for an additional Healing modifiers and sources of healing. Herald’s Bolstering Fortification works marvellously with the 6 Skill especially if the boon is extended with Facet of Nature.

Overall, the Legend does a great job of filling the recovery/support role, but it’s very easy to get caught in the trap of micro-managing the tablet and feeling unable to contribute otherwise.
