the traits are not updated on the site (obviously) but the goal is to make a healing condi. just for funsies.
likely not raid viable but maybe it could work in fractals? (a friend plays healing necro in fractals so I’m psure this crap will work.)

anyone wanna give me some tips to streamline this for raids (ples no laugh too hard at my face omg my feelings aren’t ready) or fractals?

What a circus. Complete with clowns and monkeys that do tricks.

Could possibly work as a tank healer condi set, maybe some apothecary to go alongside the seraph.

I run a heal tank rev with my group and it does really well. I think the condi set would be stronger, but you might lose out on glint which is really nice for the extra protection and protection on heal (synergizes really well with ventari’s tablet) trait

I’ve been toying with similar idea and have a few comments. I’ve run a power based ventari with 1k healing in t4 fractals for some time and it has worked pretty well. These hybrid builds probably won’t ever become popular and some people consider them horribly bad, but they can be fun and feel useful, but don’t ever go offering them to meta groups…

First of all, unfortunately Seraph is baaaad. Using seraph you end up with lots of wasted precision due to Roiling mists, none of your condis is maxed out in duration and you don’t have nearly enough healing power to be a ‘healer’. Secondly, the Venom enchantment and Diabolic inferno traits are quite important for damage output – the resistance traits are useful only situationally.

In my opinion starting point for condi healer has to be apothecary, since there is no stat set that would have condi as the main stat and healing as secondary (like zealot for power). This unfortunately ends up with quite a bit of toughness, so the build will be suitable for other game modes than raids, unless you have a group like the poster above. I’ve found that about 1k healing power provides revenant quite sweet healing potency, due to the +outgoing healing traits (always try to get full hundreds or little over, for Selfless Amplification) and healing coefficients.

My latest build suggestion would be:

This maxes out burning and allows burn application with ventari skills (on heal and elite, with 10s cds). The builder doesn’t have the new tuning crystals but my first choice would be Magnanimous Tuning Crystal. However, you can choose between condi and healing tuning crystal depending on what you want/need to focus on. Weapon swap is only for utility, and sword(s) can be used there as well, if you like.
