Salvation

• Generous Abundance — Heal allies around yourself when using a Legend skill. Heal allies around Ventari's Tablet when using a Legendary Centaur skill. Dragon Facet skills and Ventari's Will cannot activate this trait.

Devastation

Notes

• The Number of Impacts factor refers to how many times this skill hits.
  • The animation is two horizontal swipes in front of the Revenant, as seen in the Gallery.
  • This is different to the way most skills note their damage, where it would show "Damage (2x)".
  • This means that the Burst of Strength buff lasts for its displayed time - 10s in PvE, or 5s in PvP and WvW - instead of only applying for 2 hits as the description might imply.
