Guild Wars 2

Hey Arenanet,

I have been playing with Mallyx and Ventari for a while, especially since I loved those from the last BWE.
I’ll start with my impressions of BWE3 Ventari and then move on to Mallyx

Ventari
There is just 1 thing I REALLY want. Instant cast ventari tablet movement. It is extremely disruptful micro-managing the tablet while it interrupts your weapon skills or combos. Ventari would be much wider used it if the tablet could be moved instantly. I think this change will be much more interesting for ventari players.

I am fine with all the other skills. Druid heals way more than a revenant in full healing gear so maybe look at the healing values? I’m not sure if it is needed, maybe some other ventari players can comment on that

Ventari tablet movement instant cast, please make it happen!

Mallyx
I think Mallyx is in a weird spot right now. It is the only condition focussed line with Mace and Axe as condi weapons. It has no other condi backup weapons (think thief pistol/dagger with shortbow backup). All the other weapons work better with power and precision with healing power for staff.
I have to admit that Mace/axe is a really solid weaponset, though!

Empowering Misery made more sense when Mallyx applied conditions to himself. Now it feels like a weaker Consume Conditions of the Necromancer. Maybe have it give Resistance as well?

Pain Absorption feels a bit pricey at 35 energy. I think 30 or 25 is a good spot for the utlity it provides and the utility you forgo while using energy for this skill.

Banish Enchantment is great, keep it like this.

Unyielding Anguish. I really like this skill but I would like to see either the range on the leap increased or the energy cost lowered to 25. Other than that it is awesome.

Embrace the Darkness has a way too high upkeep cost for the utility it provides now. -7 energy upkeep cost while only increasing attributes by 10% and 1 stack of torment AoE pulse each second. I would actually like to see the upkeep cost go to -3 energy and 20% stat boost or buffing all stats by 50% and lower the upkeep cost to -5.
This will provide a condi burst oppertunity for Mallyx users and also have the elite be worthy of using. In its current iteration it isn’t preferably over any of the other utilities.

edit Replenishing Despair minor trait doesn’t seem to scale with healing power. Is this intended? If it doesn’t I really think it should scale with healing power as well.I think this trait could also heal per condi tick instead of condi application to make it a stronger contender with the other 2 traits.

If you made it to the end, thank you and I would really love to know what you other revenants think of this!
