Guild Wars 2

Hello Ranger forum! I just finished gearing my Magi Druid for Raids, never played Ranger before but want to multiclass for Raids. I’m still looking for some advice and it would be great if you guys could give me some answers to the following questions:

1. Is double Staff still viable for max healing with Quick Draw? Or would it be better to go Sword/Warhorn?
2. Is Healing Spring (traited) the Druid’s best heal or is choosing a heal more situational depending on the Raid/Boss?
3. In Celestial Avatar should I cast Rejuvenating Tides (for CD reduction with QD) and then spam Cosmic Ray on allies with low health? Is there a better rotation?
4. What pets are more useful on each Raid/Boss?
5. Where should I cast my Spirits in fights where the boss moves or is moved around a lot? (i.e. VG)

Any other advice is welcome, thanks for your time!

Its not 100% “optimal” gameplay, but it is “generally” good.

GL and if you have more specific questions after this, ask again

1. Yes. Sw/wh traited I use occasiobally, like on KC or sab. More a matter of preference than a matter if u kill the raidboss yes or no.
2. No I use the healing glyph in most raidfights. I use traited healing spring at sloth and sometimes at sabetha when I’m not on flakk shot.
3. Yes there’s a better rotation for in celestial avatar.Kinda dependant on where you want to land your heals. Near you: #4, #3, back to #4, if it’s on cd drop a #2. Not near you: #3, #2, #1’s if 2 and 3 are on cd. Try to end your celestial avatar with a #2 so when it pops u proc your CA-bar again.
4. Tiger always for fury uptime. If you need CC: electral wyvern or daze moa. Blue moa if you want more or other protection than stone spirit and a heal. Sylvan hound for regeneration thus faster CA-bar filler.
5. There are fights like sloth I don’t use spirits if we do wall tactic, sloth has a lenient enrage timer so we don’t need the dmg from the spirit and because of the movement of the raidgroup spirits don’t have much effect. Most other bosses I tend to predict where the fight will take us or where we will be most and place them there. Like last fases on VG I tend to place them in the middle.

These answers are about wing 1, 2 and 3. Cleared those tons of times. Wing 4 killed only first 2 for now, just so you know
