Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently returned to GW2 and purchased HoT. So far I’m loving it, with the whole Elite Spec as Druid. The only problem I have is deciding whether to run a Condition Build (Torch + Axe) or Power (Longbow). I’m interested in running Fractals and Raids. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

for pure dps cranger is superior and i think condi druid too but the best way to pug druid is healer

A Viper’s condition build is superior to a Berserker’s setup. You don’t use the Druid specialization for that one, as you do more (condition) damage with other specializations.

Berserker can be combined with Druid and is a lot of fun to play in random PvE as it is versatile, provides decent DPS, stability and some nice healing. However, that hybid is not very efficient in a group setting, as you either go for heavy damage (Viper’s) or healing/support (Druid).

So if you are out for the best damage build for rangers, I highly recommend Viper’s.

So my Ascended gear I should by striving towards would be Condition build then? That’s if I want to run End-Game content (raids + fractals)
