Guild Wars 2

I’m a sucker for the Shortbow. I like the fluidity, the speed, the quick reactions it allows. It just feels good to me.

However, I’d also like to play around with this snazzy new Elite specialization. Is there any way I can feasibly cram both a Shortbow and a Staff into the same build, or is that just sheer madness? I’d mostly be using it for solo PvE, PUGing dungeons, and HoT meta events.

Thanks!

Bleeds and CC comes to mind. In fact, I believe someone posted a build specifically for the Druid with short bow. Let me see if I bookmarked it.

Kazi’s build – here is the URL.

Thanks! I’ll give that a shot. It’s even pretty close to what I’m running now.

I used a trapper build mostly with marksmanship for the extra daze with rabid.
It works, just put torment and earth sigils in the staff for extra damage.

Forget invest anything in healing, it is not worth it at all in this class.
