Guild Wars 2

Hey all!
Forum Search function is poo. Sorry if this has been asked before. I’ve been lurking the forums since BWE2 and haven’t seen this to my knowledge, and just looked through the first 7-8 pages or so.

Main question: Ventari’s heal skill is to summon the tablet and then move the tablet. Does it count as a “Heal Skill” everytime you move the tablet or just on summon (i.e. for purposes of rune/food procs)?

Follow up question if that answer is yes:
I’m messing around with builds and such. I love supporty type builds, and I love Revenant so far and am thinking about maining it. (Shout out to Roy, too. As a Thf main, I gotta give ya props for the forum love!) I just noticed there was a food “Bowl of Saffron Scented Poultry Soup” which gives:
- 100% to remove a condition upon using heal skill
- 70 healing power
- 10% exp gain

If the tablet-movement was considered a heal skill, would that food-buff condi removal only affect me, or would it affect anyone that was healed by the tablets movement? I’m guessing the former, but I thought it worth asking because if the latter might be true, that is some insane condi removal and would be crazy useful.

It is you heal skill and it should proc all the heal skill effects like the blind and the protection

Yes the condi removal would be 1 every 2 seconds only for yourself if you spam the heal. But the removal would only be for yourself. Second the tablet doesn’t actually have to move, you can just tell it to “move” to the same spot it is in and you will gain all these benefits.

…. yea…. that about covers it… and here I was thinking I would get to answer a question…

You still can. Is the summon also counted as a heal or just the move portion? Because the charge of the health mantra and the equipping of med kit no longer proc runes and on heal traits, yet the use of creation of a healing turret and commanding it both proc on heal traits.

Yeah, all effects “on heal” work both when you summon the Tablet and whenever you move it. All of them are really good with Ventari, since #6 skills has only 2s cooldown.
