Clearly Nike, the answer to your unasked question is “Druid is a Better [Monk] than [Monk].”

I’m trying not to laugh myself right out of my chair. I’ve made & played healers on every class in this game (including Thieves once they got venom share). And fact is pure healing has never been welcome and a couple of strong healers who can do other things will be just as valuable if not moreso if we ever do see real attrition instead of easily dodged mega-hits.

Some of the other classes have insanely powerful Healing build already. So the freak out is real but the threat really isn’t. Other than maybe having to get some Zealot/Keeper gear instead of the ubiquitous ’Zerk set.

Wohoo….I’m a healer, not! If i wanted the trinity I’d be playing, well every other game out there. Way to cave, and i thought the worst thing in the development was monetization, way to raise the bar guys lol!

Vini, Vidi, Vici, Viridis…I came, I saw, I conquered…I got a green??

I look forward to not contributing to my zerker party mates and instead throwing rainbows in their faces just to rub it in.

Druid is a better name than DragonHunter.

Hahahaha, isn’t this just typical, though?

Rangers FINALLY get something good and everyone else QQs.

Hope the Devs don’t bow to the pressure of the other professions’ whining this time.

Historically:

1. Ranger gets something nice (maybe once every 2 years?)

2. Other professions are so used to Rangers not presenting a threat, they hate Rangers stepping up to their level so they QQ like mad

3. Other professions continue QQ and pressuring Devs until Ranger gets nerfed again.

Bryzzy, I wonder if you get the fact that this thread was all about Irony. If you were getting it, does that mean you don’t defend your admant point of view about the Druid? I can’t understand people that defend this celestial form creepy choice when the dev could have done something in the same line, totally viable and involving the ranger core mechanism. (Because yes! Druid is not a new class, druid is only a specialization of the ranger!)

Whatever, the Druid is a better necromancer than the necromancer, he got a shroud and at least when druid is moa’ed it’s pet ain’t destroyed.

NB.: I wonder if you won’t beg for buff instead after the next beta week end. All in all the druid spec is far from being as impressive as you think. Remember it, you won’t be able to camp the celestial form (that’s the most important thing to keep in mind).

No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.

I know the thread is being ironic, and after reading your post I can tell you that’s it’s being ironic about people like you.

Please play nice .

It is still uproariously funny what we did get – a build that can push some massive green numbers while lacking all kinds of preventive tools. Their additional weapon should be called a mop, not a staff, because its geared towards cleaning up after someone else has a nasty spill . And having a mop OBVIOUSLY makes the Druid a better Guardian than a Guardian. ((snicker))

“GG Anet, you just deleted all condi builds. With the druid’s crazy good regen and resistance uptime they can basically stand in a condi field and STILL BE GAINING HEALTH as they do it! That plus their fully automatic heat-seeking bird that can’t be kited because of their OP Taunt makes the druid completely untouchable to condi builds WHILE STILL PUTTING OUT INSANE DAMAGE. This sort of zero counterplay bullkitten is totally unacceptable. And before anyone says “LOLGGL2P SCRUB KILL THE BIRD” YOU KITTEN CAN’T. If you target the bird THEY JUST CHANGE ASPECTS AND BAM! Bird is full kitten healed! Not to mention that with a glyph build the druid basically has 25 KITTEN SKILLS at any given time PLUS the pet. They are even more versatile than D/D eles and EVEN MORE IMMUNE TO CONDI PRESSURE. I’d rather fight a kitten Diamond Skin D/D ele than a druid. Calling it now, druid is the new D/D ele but with a NO SCOPE ONE HIT KILL UNAVOIDABLE TAUNT PET that it can use every 15 kitten seconds."

Ehecatl, you are a genius… I am in tears…!

And everyone else as well, this thread is just so much win. Thanks for the laughs you guys, bahaha. <3
