Guild Wars 2

I do some nice heals as ventari revenant in WvW, but im not getting any reward (no loot, no xp, no wxp)
I don’t have this problem with healing engi or druid, they feel extremely rewarding.

When they changed it so support roles had an easier time to get participation credit, ArenaNet said you would still need to attack something a little to get full credit. So you can’t just hang back and heal your team only. You need to actually hit an enemy a few times to get rewarded.

That is false. You can get loot simply by healing and not doing any damage. It just doesn’t work with revenant which is odd.

Where did you hear that? I thought it was specifically mentioned that you would still need to contribute to damage and kills. What builds and/or skills are you using with other profs that you think gets you credit using only support?

“Supporting your allies will now contribute toward earning rewards for killing enemies and damaging event bosses. The actions listed below now cause a percentage of the target ally’s damage dealt for the next several seconds to also count toward your participation. In addition to that, damaging an enemy’s defiance bar will also grant you some participation toward receiving rewards from that enemy. In order to discourage AFKing with boon-applying auras, you must still be actively attacking targets to receive rewards from them. "

You have to do damage to the target on occasion for it to work. You were damaging the target on your other classes without realizing it, most likely.

A link would have been nice. But that’s OK. I found it for you.
