i am trying to make it works, on paper it is good but practice shows you need to have a coordinated team for it to work.

here is the build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAW8unXNmNSqJzJR/kNlsgyoS4Q5UJYrMsklZlxO6q/eNjPKRNgCaA-TpxGABmdEAsvMABHEAAuAAj/AAAZ/BA

you have lots of protection and stability and passive power damage mitigation.
The issue is you need to have allies who are aware of your build and pick up the healing orbs that you poop out as they provide lots of sustain.
Also as a rev you lack condi clears so again you need to rely on allies for that, which means the build would function best with another support such as guardian or something.
Basically none of this will happen in solo queue so the build fails
Can revenant get more condi clears on ventari skills? this would enable a support role.

see no evil ,until i stab you

You mean besides spaming PE like crazy to cleanse 3 condis per cast? Not really

The way I do ventari in solo que is super simple – I focus on providing projectile block and abandon all healing power to go full offense. Few people stick around the stone for me to start condi clearing them…and those who do just don’t get because I get focused/punished for having tablet up. At least like this I know that when I get in melee,I no longer need tablet.

I mean I am definetly not the best Centaur Stance user but what I would do is ditch Natural Abundace for Selfless Ampification to buff the heal from Ventari’s will – because the orbs and fragments spawn randomly it’s best to buff the heals you can manualy aim than to pray to rng that the fragment will spawn somewhere where the player can get to it and that the ally player will actualy see the kitten fragment.

You will probably get more use of Ventari in WvW than in sPvP….but it’s better to buff healing of tablet and sigil of water healing than rely on people being able to get to a Ventari fragment.

Natural abundance is generally used to provide some self-sustain. His attempt at using it to heal others is cute though.

I know it can get quite good for self sustain…but the guy seems to be more interested in providing actual healing and for stuff like that I would take Selfless Amplification over Natural Abundance (personal choice) because I don’t trust pugs to realize what that shinny thing on the floor is.

Nah it’s ineffective even with players who know what it is. “Sometimes” the floor is too shiny to identify the thing, during other occasions the floor is lava.

I try not to think about that…..because thats the stuff that annoys me the most when playing with Salvation and Centaur Stance.

Fragments, Orbs and such would be much better if the pattern they use to spawn was less…RNG. More predictable. They’re not problem per se, they’re cool, but it’s just that sometimes they will appear right under your feet and sometimes 30 y away. If I knew where the fragment is supposed to go, I wouldn’t have any problem with it.

These things could tap into being a bit like smart heals – spawning right under feet of allies on lowest HP%, but not if ally is, let’s say, further than 450 units from location tablet is moving to.
Or simply spawn right behind targeted destination of the tablet.

Also, reduce the delay on their spawn time. It’s annoying.

The concepts of Ventari aren’t bad, tablet doesn’t have to be removed like some say. They just require polishing. I would say that at this point, Salvation specialization is in more dire need than Legend itself. Fixing the specialization could be the biggest fix to Ventari.
