Usage
General
- Before a fight, start on Glint in order to proc
Invoking Harmony when switching to Ventari. - Use
Facet of Nature as often as possible to prolong boons while on Glint and to grant a very strong passive healing while on Ventari (both affecting 10 allies due to 24px Draconic Echo). - Always try to go below 10% energy before swapping in order to proc
Charged Mists.
Ventari
- Move your tablet with
Ventari's Will as often as possible in order to keep up regeneration, as well as the healing from moving the tablet. This result a total of 2-4k healing per second easily. 
Natural Harmony is your main burst healing skill. This should be used when the burst is coming.
Purifying Essence is a strong condition clear for yourself and your allies, use when it is needed.
Protective Solace is a barrier that block projectiles, and is also a movable light field. Consider coordinating with your group to blast this for condition clear or when ressing ally is needed.
Energy Expulsion is a knock back that sacrifices the tablet, can be used to prevent stomps, among other things. Also try to use it before swapping if you are above 10% energy.
Glint
- Enter Glint and use
Facet of Chaos and 
Facet of Light to apply permanent Protection and Regeneration. - You can also use
Facet of Darkness and 
Facet of Elements to apply Fury and 
Swiftness if energy isn't an issue.
- If you want to go below 10% energy to proc the trait, upkeep as many facets as possible.
- Don't reactivate
Chaotic Release unless the superspeed/CC is really needed since the skill has a long CD.
Gameplay Tips
- You can use skills such as Natural Harmony while the tablet is moving to a new position in order to time the healing for when the tablet arrives.
- Try to use energy carefully and not waste it.
Weaknesses
- High skill cap for tablet usage
- Reliant on energy management
What can i say ? This build is one of the easiest to gear up, it's cheap, effective from small to big scale battle, it's safe, easy to play and a hundred percent projectiles block uptime. All in all this is a poor man support build but doesn't mean it's weak at all.
