Just gonna leave this here. I’m not sure how good it will be but it has many characteristics of a successful build:

- multiple stun breakers (third being optional, swap for SOS)
- decent mobility with perma swiftness
- huge heals and toughness for avatar
- lots of stab, regen, and some might (WHaO is there for stacking these)
- ancient seeds will synergize with your team’s cc and wyvern’s charge; could sub for lingering light
- plenty of Condi cleanse
- quite a bit of stealth for escapes
- regen will tick for a lot

Weaknesses

- low vitality… susceptible to burst and burn stacks…. could easily switch to celestial stats
- might stacking is situational without fortifying bond
- taunt may not interact well with the new pets due to their unique f2’s
- not enough prot, which is huge…consider grove runes and energy sigils. Can’t fit NM trait line into this particular build. But we have bark skin

Smokescale’s effectiveness is up in the air, but it could potentially be very strong in 1v1’s, especially with some might.

Super tanky version with energy sigils for more prot, and soldier runes for more vit and cleansing. Very solid support build. Might be possible to go with a glyph instead of Protect Me. The new glyph of alignment would work nicely.

I was thinking of running this trait spread for a power build, though thinking about it now, condis may make more sense in this case.

Forge runes over grove!!! Grants you a bit of burn duration, protection duration, plus 10 sec of protection at 50% health.

On a more general note. I know that some rangers in the community have been looking at Druid as a way to play with out wilderness knowledge, and in the end that may work…. In the meantime though I really like the synergy that druid has with bark skin. Bark skin is one of those rare traits with no icd, and I think being able to reset this early and often will be key in the upcoming meta.

I just can’t make any viable builds without WK and survival utilities. Thanks for your feedback.
