Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone!

Considering my Ad Infinitum is ready soon, I’m looking for a class to level, that I will make full use of it + my Howler.

So, I look for a class, that could do 2 out of the following 3 roles.
Healer, Condi & Power DPS.

The first thing, that comes to my mind now, is ranger, especially Druid.
It’s DPS may not be the highest (with Power) but it really helps out with buffing, occasional healing and still maintaining the DPS.
+ i have a Condi and a Full Healer build for raids.
There’s also Necro I could go for, but I already had 2 in my history, but I always ended up finishing the elite and then deleting it after a while.

TL;DR: Is a Power / Support Druid (Full Zerker) worth going for in T4 fractals, using sth like S/WH + Staff or A/WH + Staff?
Ele is the last pick I thought about, but I can’t really stand the ~10k HP…
Will wipe me most of the time, I think ^^’

Thanks for the help inbefore!

Edit: I do FotM 99% of the time, so that’d be my main purpose.

Personally I would recommend necro. You will be rejected from some tryhard parties, but it’s really the superior class when it comes to FotM. DPS is mediocre, but it has amazing survivability (even with full offensive spec, which is what people run), that will allow you to carry your team and finish any encounter solo.
Warhorn as a weapon for necro has been falling out of the meta, especially after the GS buffs and Farbstoff’s new DPS rotation. But since most FotM pugs still live in 2k16, you see warhorn very often. Also, GS on condi necro can hurt your DPS more than it helps if you play it poorly, so sticking to scepter would actually be wise for a newbie.

Ranger/druid would also be a very solid option. If you insist on using warhorn, I would recommend going healer build (S/WH+staff), because you would be losing a major chunk of your DPS as a condi.

Ele would be ideal for the tryhard parties, but it requires much more effort and a coordinated team. For most FotM parties, it actually performs much worse, because people aren’t able to play it properly. But if you have a solid group of people, who can play at top-tier level, you could save some time on FotM each day with the metacomp, if you don’t mind paying way more attention to rotations and positioning.

So, going Druid – for Fractals full Zerker, with Staff + S/WH is a viable choice, even for T4?
Magi’s equipment & Viper’s for raiding?

In Fractals it would be highest possible damage with Zerker’s (considering I use warhorn instead of axe) and it’s more or less supportive?

Best advice to you would be to stop trying to pick a class because of some cosmetic skin you made, instead pick something useful or something you would enjoy playing.

E.G there is absolutely no reason to pick Zerk Druid and give up on the off-hand Axe damage + utilities, just because you have a cool looking Warhorn.

Good Luck.

Well, I crafted Warhorn in 2014, back then it was quite a lot of work, that’s why I want tot stick to it that much.

And I do enjoy playing Ranger / Druid, I wouldn’t choose it, if that wasn’t the case..

While not wanting to tell you how to manage your character slots, do consider that birthday gifts are character age dependant, not account age.

That being said, currently your best bet as far as useful class builds are:

- Healing Druid
- Scepter/Warhorn Tempest

I do have to agree with:

I’d even go as far and say funfactor comes as top priority.
