Ventari got nerfed into the ground in the patch focused on ridding us of bunker meta, which unfortunately, support Vindicator got caught in the crossfire, also receiving several trait nerfs. This combined with already evident class weaknesses such as lack of rez potential or stunbreak on Ventari results in an extremely weak build. Plus almost all of its healing is delayed and reliant on the janky tablet and scepter. I wish this was better but I can't even see this being played in silver. Doesn't help that shield 5 does nothing in this meta since everyone has unblockables now, and I've found that dying in the middle of the block to condis is quite common. If you wanted to lean into a more supportive playstyle on Rev, playing the hammer salvation Renegade might be better since the kalla heal helps allies and it uses flock relic for an extra heal.
It did see some play in the mAT recently but I still think several other support builds are better than this. Good things first, the healing is amazing and the cleansing's fairly good too. Tablet can be janky at times but it does have its moments, especially when you need to heal allies in hard to reach places. But its toolkit is not that versatile, doesn't really provide any special benefits to the team like auras on Tempest and its access to boons is rather limited and doesn't even have any additional rez power (no rez skill or rez speed increase). Getting caught in a CC on Ventari can often be fatal with how much damage is flying around these days, and while Ventari skills are instant they do have delays and sometimes you die before the skill even goes off. It's not bad but I don't think it's great.
Needs more access to stability to be more useful. Once youre focused youre gonna die pretty quick. Without stab, your dodge heal is interuptable. Tablet skills offer no stability and no stunbreak. This is a good fractal build though.
I've been using this build for the past week and have won ~76% of my ranked games with almost 600k healing each game; however, I chose Resolute Evasion over Dwarven Battle Training and Rite of the Great Dwarf over Steadfast Rejuvenation. If you add in transference sigil to both weapons, your healing skyrockets and makes Tree Song heal for 4200+ with full condition removal.
All in all this build is a pure example of its name: support. You go in with your team, and so long as they are near you, they will not, and I mean will not, die.
