Guild Wars 2

Hey , i just turned 80 like 30minutes ago and i was wondering , which crafted gear is the best right now ? is it still ascended ? … im going to work on gathering HP for Druid , i want to concentrate on fully healing people .. any tips ? .. and ascended weapons is it still the best ? .. oh and im still quite noob at this game only been playing a week and a half.

Ascended stuff is still best in slot. I run as full zerker druid, be cause healing is still good if it is needed (which is more the case now, since enemies hit very hard).

You may have a look at new gear combinations that came with hot. There are some with healing power and others

running exotic clerics atm waiting for the new meta coming with raids

I wouldn’t build exclusively healing power just yet. It would make you useless if you try to do anything on your own and really only shines the most in the upcoming raids. Ascended armor takes a LOT of resources, especially for only having been playing for a week and a half, so I would not expect you to have anything necessary to make even one piece.

That said, a full exotic set is still powerful. Ascended armor only has a ~5% increase in stats over exotic (Ascended weapons are much easier to craft though so get your hands on one of those and go for it.). I do recommend Clerics for that tanky healer feel that can still hurt a bit, but like Proto said you can easily run Berserkers as a Druid and still heal a lot.
