Guild Wars 2

Hello all!

I recently got into the raiding game and now I am really trying to optimise my druid for a heal/dps role and I figured, from the wiki page, that Keeper’s set (Zealot in exotic) was the role I was aiming for (Power, Precision, Healing). However, I realized the recipes were only available from the marionette boss in Living Season 1. Now, the recipes are, as far as I know, not acquirable and, I imagine, in very rare quantity. Indeed, when they are available at all on the TP, they tend to be at a somewhat high price in seller’s listing with very little fluidity in buyer’s listing. Are we running out of a finite amount of them? The only other interesting alternative would be a Magi set, which implies a different gameplay that sacrifices dps for heal (not so good for Vale Guardian), and I feel it is penalizing.

Also, this makes me wonder, why are some stats sets restricted as such and not others?Is there a reason for this (game balance maybe)? Else, is there any plan by ANet to put some more of these recipes in circulation through the Living Season 3? Please let me know if I am missing something here or complaining about an issue that does not really exist!

Merci!

P.S.: ThanksDevs for the Bloodstone Ruby trinkets with selectable stats that include HoT combinations, the laurel merchant was really lacking in that regard.

Allow me to recommend dropping the zealot ideer.

If you want to heal, then go magi (armor/weapons are both easy and cheap to get), tinkets can be a mix of magi and cleric.

Why? simple, if you are there to heal (staff), then you dont do any dmg. No matter what gear you have, so better to go full heal and keep all alive. + you want to have avatar up all the time, so you can use “Rejuvenating Tides” 2 times every 20 sec or so. This will give all the other 9 players so many stacks of “Grace of the land” that your groups dps will be alot better then anything else.

If however you dont plan to be the main healer, then go berserker or viper (power or condi) and do dmg as your main role and still heal (spread grace of the land) as often you can. (this is without staff btw).

Zealot is a wierd middle ground, niether good heal and still bad dmg. simply a waste of gold

In that case, though, would Minstrel be a reasonable option, or just too defensive-stats oriented?
