Guild Wars 2

I have been with the game since the beginning and even pre-purchased HOT. However, I got busy with life and never finished the expansion. Now I’m back and would like to finish HOT and LW 3 yet I feel like my build is outdated and not viable. I know in PVE you can almost get away with any build, but I’d love some feedback on how I can improve/what I should look for in the future to improve.

My current druid build:

Thanks in advance.

You are running too tanky and too unfocused for general pve.

Go for damage by stacking damage modifiers. Make sure you are utilizing pierce when using Rapid Fire not only for the damage but also to get vulnerability stacks on everything. Honestly I would even consider dumping staff for sword/axe for heavy cleave and more vulnerability.

Great tips! Thank you. I had a feeling I was way too unfocused in my build.

Is there a point in running Druid and going for damage? From what I understand Druid is very much a support class, so should I just stick to Ranger?

Thank you again. Very helpful.

I figured you wouldn’t want to drop druid but if you don’t play with others you can drop it for beast mastery. Not sure how easy it will be to play without druid heals though.
