Guild Wars 2

Out of curiosity, wasn’t it said earlier that Rangers will be getting Staff for their Druid specialization, that will be also focused around healing and support? What will happen to this since Revenant is getting the Ventari legend? Will there be any reason to not pick one over another?

Yes.

No, this was never stated.

My guess is that the druid will be more about conditions and cc’s than support. Regardless, wait until the reveal before asking such questions.

It better have torment. And i mean serious torment, not some lol 2-3 stacks. I still can’t get over how the game’s #1 movement hampering profession, the cripple station, and immbilize maniac lacks any torment…

Oh and some boonstripping. And some area denial, we lack there too, and druid seems to fit that bill.

^Do you know that torment is op right?

Eww, I think you’re the only person asking for torment. The condi plays badly with immobilization and feels like a bleed stack trying to spook you. I’d appreciate it if they played up poison more, since it now stacks intensity, and the druid excelled at fighting wars of attrition and teamfighting. If druid is all spiritual maybe, but if it’s using balms, salves and venoms from the maguuma torment is not a fit, depending on how you interpret the druids it could go either way.

Boon stripping we just need more of in general, or at least more things to punish/add more play to them. It makes boons incredibly safe when (once specialisations hit) only half the professions in the game can even do something about it.

As for “you thought you could go that way, but now there’s a tree!” practically guaranteed.
