Ventari build help

[Sylent.3165]

Ok....So basically I'm trying to be similar to my paragon from gw1.

My damage will not be the highest I am aware of this however I like going in with staff and ventari. I like the self sustain along with really helping others out in the open. So I'm looking for a build that can actually provide enough damage mixed with support though so while I'm out solo I can actually still do half decent.

Any suggestions?

Use Zealots stats.

what game mode is this for

Zealots probably. With shiro/ jalis as a second legend.

Edit: something like that, ofc you can use glint and herald if you want to.

Yup Zealots would be best if you want some damage. Shiro, Jalis, and Glint would all work as secondary legends. Just FYI you won't be meta but it is a fun combination.

Zealots was what I was thinking and hoping would be the best thanks for confirming!! :)

For fractals/raids I use Ventari+Kala with a mix of herald & magi stats. Tablet burst heals are insane + Soulcleave provides great damage boost&heal to your group. I also swap invocation/devastation lines & Renegade's Lasting Legacy/Righteous Rebel depending on party comp..http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlMQNAscmnXMnNSumzJRdzRlst5pSY2cTJ4bOskFflaNAWgGgtDChT4/++vBE-jBSpAB3qGQwK306UAM3TAwYlgrokAAVfaVfQAgDgzbezPPw7v/+xHfcX/+7v/+7v/+7nfepA8bqF-e

Just a heads up when trying to use a support Revenant in the open world and in PUGs: your support potential will be next to nothing outside of providing buffs. If you're looking to play the healer role, you'll be sorely disappointed as you try to sic your Ventari Tablet on clueless players that run around like headless chickens, only to have your 10k healing fizzle as the person you were trying to save wanders out of the tiny 240 radius effect. In other words, the efficacy of Ventari healing is reliant on the game knowledge of the other players, rather than your own.

This is so true. And yes, PUGs can be frustrating.

This is kind of why I like it so much, honestly. It's such a unique mechanic and you get all the fun of fighting both the AI and your fellow idiotic players. The best is when they actively dodge away from it in PvE. Also, I'd suggest Renegade over Herald. You can provide perma alacrity, and you can come close to 100% crit chance with pretty much no precision investment. Kalla is kind of dog shit, and the shortbow is still garbage, but the traitline has enough non awful things in it to be okay.

I have been using this on Pve and WvW, i have become a slacker, only when groups have decent healing ill swap to a hammer heradl/ jalis build with 100% crit chance and 200% crit damage..
