Guild Wars 2

Hi
Could someone give me some advice how to counter the DH-Traps or DH in general? Espacially if there are two or more DHs I simply die while being CC’d by their Elitetraps. I know about stability but their Trap-Cooldowns are shorter than my Stability, so thats not really an option.
Also is it possible that I get damage altough I blink through “Test of Faith” ring?

I mostly play Elementalist Auramancer, so I would think I should have some good survivability. I use Magneticaura against their bows but most times thats not enough.
Same problem with condi rev, but in this case I can understand my poor survivability.
I mostly ask this because in this Thread they say that DH is at a poor state:

So I belive I am missing something crucial? I am not that good but I think thanks to Matchmaking the enemys should be around my level, so why are they destroying me so hard?

PS.: I hope it is the right forum and I am very sorry about my terrible english

Dodge.

Oh ok. Am i able to doge through the Traps like the marks of necro? I thought that was impossible. Also doging out is kind of hard if you want to hold a point like Temple of Storm mid or Kylo mid. Or even close/far if there is a 2vs2.
Another advice?
Or is this really the only mistake I am making? I will focus it more in the next game.

If you dodge right when he puts the traps on you, you can get out of the elite. So anytime he teleports into you/you need to run soemwhere where you’ve seen he places a trap, just dodge. With energy sigil you have a lot of dodges, so you should be fine with. Also you’re right when saying tha teleporting away makes traps to dmg you, cause the teleport mechanic works as you going instantaneously to another place, but walking all the way to that point.

Krysard.1364 thanks for that tip!
Dagins.5163 Well not that stupid, the last 4 games I played there were 3 DHtrappers in the each of the enemy teams. Mabye at my level they are all playing that spec because the players are not good enough to counter it.

Magnetic aura and aftershock are your best bets, if you’re staff try using fire 4 to engage on them to trigger traps, also your overload fire is a pretty low cd stability, you should be fine with it. If you’re focus, obviously swirling winds and earth 4 and 5 should carry you through the fight, along with burning speed.

99% of the guardians are free kills for my druid (currently 18 pips in diamond)

They only become strong when they come with a 2nd person and you cannot exclusively focus on their traps anymore.

Dont step on them?. It is not like they are not telegraphed where they land.

Kurse.1540 Fire 4 seems good!
Malediktus.9250 Well maybe I will give druid a go. Sounds nice
Apolo.5942 Wow, now everything is so obvious. Thanks a lot.

Kurse.1540 What would you consider to be better at the moment? D/Focus or Staff?

There are some methods vs traps that work better than others, but they arent always telegraphed.
Test of faith is instant. Instant is not telegraphed.
Traps that are already layed down somewhere arent either.
