support ventari build for pvp

hi guys

i really want your true opinion about my build.

i use jalis/ventari . mainly play unranked (gold 3).

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNApemnnNWNSyJrJRNl/ksoygS4U5QJIscrkFZlZdjQORNgFewe6rDH-jZxHQBnY/hEeIAAwDAAZlBU2ZAAAyou can use water or flock rune. i testing melandru to mitigate condi dmg bit more.

also can take invocation 1,1,2 which grate more nrg to use, break stun and 1 condi removal on legend swap.

after the nerf to EE and the new FB the OP support role move to guard again. i try to find some niche role and i might find it.the role is sustain healer with great cc abilities, block projectile and blind.the healing of the rev imo is the best. although it demands micromanaging the tablet its the only class which allow for range healing. and also it demands your team to know how tablet works. not like ele or guard who just have to hug their team in order to support them.the tablet allow you to do nice trick combine with good cc. as while your enemy cc he dont do dmg. you can push off top area range classes, block their projectiles etc..nevertheless in team fight i found myself doing very well. i try not to bunker a point rather to move where needed.

my main weakness is scourge and some burst mesmer if i am not aware of. although i can handle on point about 20- 30 sec which is enough for +1 to come.

how to play it?

start with jalis on the gate to stack swiftness with staff and mace blast finisher with inspiring reinforcement.on the point again inspiring reinforcement which proc weakness and stability.cover it with one with nature boons (when needed as be aware to necros corruption aoe)and use RotGD to mitigate dmg by 50% for 5 sec.swap to ventari and spam heals which blind aoe the point with 240r. and small heal of 1.5k (and with water or flock another 1.6k every 10 sec). also it proc dome which weaken the enemy inside of it and block projectile for 4 sec.you can blast the dome with mace or staff for aoe blind.you have 50% endurance regen when using the hammers if needed.and when you want to swap back to jalis blast with elite EE which proc 6 fragments. which your allies need to know to grab them for easy 1.9k healing .

the main use of the build is versus power dmg class. with lost of weakness and stability and protection and blind spamming.

the main weakness of the build is versus condi bomb. but there is a way to handle it but it much harder than FB atm.

when you see scourge careful with stability on point as it could turn to fear. also wait with one with nature.you have good ways to cc the necro if your team targeting him. use force engagement which by now necro will use trail of anguish. one of your team or you with sigil which remove boon attack the necro and remove stability and you use staff 5 for another cc. by now thief will engage and you use stability and one with nature to cover it on the necro so he cannot fear with F4.use blind on the staff and daze with staff 2 if you got nrg.probably FB will escort the scourge. if time it right you can push away the FB with staff or EE or IR away from the scourge. its harder but doable . also you have 2 stack of poison with mace which reduce healing.if your team fail to down the necro prepare for condi vomiting on point. so just dodge out of it. but probably the FB already use lots of skill to help himself or necro.dont forget RotGD reduce condi dmg by 50%. so use it.

versus mesmer its more easy the cleanse if you dodge right or blind the area. although someone has to pressure the mesmer.

versus pp/DE thief or LB ranger and holo skills you have enough block projectile so use your skills for it.

why it works best versus direct dmg class ?rotgd - 50%hammers - 20%protection - 33%with stability - 15%

to total of 77% dmg mitigation cover with blind and good healing and weakness proc. (weakness consider about 40% dmg mitigation. blind about 15% dmg mitigation)

again the main weakness of this build is conditions bomb. you cannot facetank it on point. you cannot heal other while taking condi bomb on yourself. however with good team you can do nicely. i had 2v3, 2v4 and some 1v2 (mainly versus direct dmg classes)you can decap point but now it takes longer.

i know FB is the king right now. but the hidden prince is ventari/jalis

if i see two scourge i will go FB. but with 1 scourge you can go with rev.

thats it. lets hear it...
