Guild Wars 2

Now that we have HoT and the Elite Specs, a lot of people are really disappointed on Druid. Huge nerfs for this Elite Spec came with the release of the expansion. Seeing a lot of negative posts and feedback in general, did Anet announce any changes they consider for Druids in the future? Buff the Elite Spec do be somewhere where you know whether you are a healing Druid or a Ranger cause really now it’s somewhere in the middle. From point 100 that it was in the Beta now its to point 1. Something in the middle would be ideal.

I haven’t been seeing many elite classes played, due to the heavy gating. I tried to get a functional dragonhunter and it was just too punishing, so went back to my ranger and just finished the main story on it.

With elite classes this rare, druids are going to be non-existent. This is doubly the case as the only people who liked druid are themselves turning away from it because its healing was made super gated and unreliable.

If its not good as a healer, then it really isn’t good at anything. With the way heart of thorns is, I needed heavy and constant firepower to get through the maps and story….druid traits would just have been a massive liability – though as it was I only unlocked half of them anyway.

Since Druid got nerfed 5 times on a single skill,

Celestial Form
1) 9s cooldown to enter Celestial Form
2) Reduced Celestial energy charging
3) Reduced time while in Celestial Form
4) Out of combat Celestial energy degeneration
5) Doesn’t charge Celestial energy while in Celestial Form

I would really appreciate a Dev response to see if Druid is gonna get back to “decent” or if i should just go back to playing Elementalist. Druid got me excited because i love healers in MMOs but right now, it’s not a healer or Damage spec.
