Guild Wars 2

So after realizing that Guardians will not get buffed into a healing role before PoF, and probably not in the expansion, I decided to roll a Druid.
I had her at 80 with everything but the Druid elite unlocked so at least I didn’t have to level one.
Wanted to get Magi’s gear and since I need the runes of the Monk anyways I thought getting it through AC.
Now I didn’t play for a couple of months and it seems when someone is running the paths they tend to skip absolutely everything.

Is it even possible to get a decent PuG as a total noob in regards to dungeons?

Most people you’ll find in this subforum indeed used to speedrun dungeons at some point, but typically have moved on ever since and now focus on raids.
Population of dungeon runners at this point consists mainly of newbies just like yourself, who never got the chance to experience the content and now hop into it absolutely unprepared (despite A HUGE amount of learning materials all around the internet). In any case, I would make sure to properly mark your party as “first time run” or something similar, because even today occasionaly some former dungeon speedrunner opens up lfg and tries to find a decent party. In order to prevent confusion, your lfg should be as descriptive as possible and indicate clearly what kind of run you’re expecting.

Btw. if you don’t mind me asking, why are you talking about skipping like it was some kind of bad thing? You made it clear your goal is to farm enough dungeon tokens to afford a set of magi gear for your druid. Why would you waste time completing optional events or killing optional enemies EVERY SINGLE TIME you run through the dungeon path? It doesn’t make any sense, you’re killing your own time. Instead, you can just complete the required events and finish the dungeon in the fastest time possible (given your skill level and party comp) and get to play your desired build – druid healer – much sooner.

First off, thank you for the heads up on the lfg-tool, should clarify more obviously.

I didn’t mean to be rude or talk about skipping as a bad habit, for me as someone who focused more on open world exploration and many alts instead of running dungeons i have always thought that skipping is/ could be difficult and that i wouldn’t know how to properly do it, despite reading guides and stuff for this dungeon. Did the same when I started fractals, read absolutely every single mechanic to be prepared. For me thats the best i can do before trying this content.

Alternatively you can also complete story mode to unlock the reward track on PVP. So do the dailies and you also get some tokens/gear.

I’ve always been underwhelmed by monk runes on my druid, I find water to be a better choice.

if you join a group advertised as exp, you should expect that you skip all trash mobs basically.

By the way op, skipping is easy if your willing to come prepared. Get these 3 consumables:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Order_of_Whispers_Spy_Kit

In particular harpy feathers are your most commonly used (very low cool down). Use harpy and whisper kit before/while running through trash mobs.
