Guild Wars 2

Just wanna say thank you to Irenio,

As a player who loves to heal, this makes me so happy to become more involved with GW2 dungeons and RAIDS. Ignore those who dislike the idea, they are sad they didnt get the VERSION of DRUID they were sadly expecting.

You made a good move Irenio, and I and many other cannot wait to play DRUID healer!!!

Well you could have healed in dungeons all this time mate, elementalist and guardian says hello, you just could not join the zerker groups and you still wont be able to.

Raids might need healing but I’m betting the dungeons never will. Unless the group is really bad.

Then there will be plenty for a healer to do.

I would also have to agree with OP – I tend to play a healer class in most mmorpgs, and am extremely glad that healers/druids are/will be implemented into the game.

Ive played them, and they dont offer the kind of healing playstyle I want. The DRUID is all about healing where the Elementalist was only half of the healing mode that DRUID is. Remember ELITE SPECS are roles implemented by ANET. So Druid is more me in terms of all arund healing.

I played a Scholar in FFXIV, and Druid is similar to me. I cant wait.

Irenio is da real MVP.

Two kinds of people. Those that genuinely enjoy dungeons and play them for the challenge and entertainment value.

And those who want to get from point A to point Give-Me-My-Kittening-Gold NAO.

• I like the idea of a strong healing Ranger.
• I hate the idea that Druid complements nothing the ranger has.

You really don’t need any other traitlines or weapons other than staff. You are hard-locked into the healer role if you roll Druid. Trying to run a damage dealer or any hybrid-tank with Druid is going to be ineffective.

HoT has yet to be released, lets not talk as if the Druid will not compliment anythiing the ranger currently has. Besides I see various ways you can toy with core ranger traits with DRUID. Nature magic, and Beastmastery being two trait lines.

From your post and comments, it’s as if you’ve already TESTED out the DRUID… Clearly.. you cannot negatively comment, along with others who are doing the same negative thing, complaining about the druid and its synergy with the core ranger or calling it a HEALING BOT ( Pffft). Give it a few, relax, wait for the final beta. Play the DRUID. “TEST” things out, give constructive feedback after BETA is over. Then go from there… Simple.

It’s still in development, but having the entire class being healing focused (not boons mind you) allow us to have an understanding of what kind of playstyle ArenaNet was going for.

Just because a mechanic is up for changing doesn’t mean the mechanic will completely change. It could! It could not. It depends on the feedback.

If it gets good feedback, it will stay, if it gets bad feedback, it will change. Simple as that.

Druid barely has any boons, so Nature Magic won’t be as effective as I like it to be. Fortifying Bond and Lingering Magic, both really good minor traits are going to be under performing sadly.

oakheart salve could have been a strong synergy if any of the druid abilitys gave regenration

Right, we know that every ELITE spec in GW2 is not going to remain the same. The other Elite specs have already had major work done based on feedback, (Besides Scrapper). So, it just upsets me to see people talk so negative about the elite spec, when it looks way more promising than when TEMPEST, was revealed. Lets be honest here.

Irenio, has done something amazing, along with the team that worked on DRUID. There is still work to be done, as with any piece of art. Its our job as players to play the spec, see how it synergies with other traits, how well it heals, etc. Then create a BETA Weekend Thread here in the forums on the final BETA, so the devs can analyze and review feedback.

All these posts (especialy the negative ones) are just silly. What about waiting for beta (connected to possible changes at class after beta and before HoT) and raid mechanics. Then judge whether it´s useless or not.
Concept is awesome by the way, hopefuly it will be great to have druid in a party for raids and possibly higher fotm levels.

And you think they will be able to change anything 19 days before release.
They wont mate thats just the happy pills talking, it will be post release for sure.

Well, it can be before, it can be after who knows. My point still remains. There are changes to be done or maybe not, as I initialy said there’s no point to judge anything yet without trying the druid.

Your flaw is that you think they need to change anything. The traits are plenty good and Ancient Seeds is probably going to be deemed OP and nerfed at some point.

Hell, we don’t even know what Raids will be like but I can guarantee that healbot Druid will be helpful if not downright necessary for most groups.

I’m also personally looking forward to the druid in WvW. Heal spam is going to be very, very good in zergs and Sublime Conversion looks amazing in the new choke point filled borderlands.

I’m sorry that Druid wasn’t the überbüff that you wanted it to be but it is solid and will be useful.
