Guild Wars 2

Can be balanced to be very skill based Risk/reward. Please help with feed back on ranger forums on what you guys think would make druid worth being viable in team comp.

druid is very strong right now and it should get better once a few kinks are ironed out. the heals are real. we need a bit of on-demand stab, I hope Irenio is workin on that.

I really hope druid becomes a strong healing specialization, it would benefit full glass cannon builds in a team composition.

I am having tons of fun!!

healing will never have a strong place because glass will always be better exp when you can blow up the healer really fast with a burst, a stand 4 v 1 split or 3 v 2 split and those 3 will just target the druid and nuke it. Against random pugs? Sure it might have some place but against any high competitive team or a team that knows what they are doing then it shouldn’t last long.

^in a sense this is true. “just healing” will never work in this game. druid needs to be doing quite a bit of damage to make a difference and to make him viable

And there lies in the problem, if you are using druid as a typical druid with the staff you won’t be doing any real significant damage or worthwhile damage.

correct, which is why people should try hybrid or offensive druids.

I am running a power ranger with the druid line which is fun.

I was playing the typical GS/LB power spec on druid tonight. Worked quite well. The immob on crowd control is really really strong. In addition to that, I have avatar form for strong party support and also self heal. The avatar form 5skilll hits really hard.

Haven’t tried full support build yet.

Yeah it’s a blast.

in terms of going “full support” the best middle ground ive found is s/wh/staff with celestial stats and birds for damage. it’s pretty good for 1v1’s, and the support and survivability are still there.

I was running Elite Shout with CDR. Enough Stability for me.

yeah I switched to it as well. unity glyph is really bad right now. I also picked up enlargement on my offensive build.
