Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone
I have a build I’ve been using in WvW for my Druid. I’m in the process of making WupWup Armor and weapons, I don’t know what trinkets I should use?
I run staff – Sword/Warhorn in WvW.
I’m also looking for a Staff Longbow build for PVE that can use the same equipment.
Any help will be appreciated

I’d suggest berserker trinkets, especially if you want to reuse them in PvE. That also happens to be the mix I use in WvW.

Sometime I use condi trinkets, but your weapons don’t make much sense for that. There is a power/condi bleed build using warhorn and mad king runes, you could google that.

Thank you for the suggestion

This is what I run

Havent had any trouble taking multiples at all. 1v1’s seem stupid easy

Is that for PVE or WvW
Im looking to use my WvW gear for PVE so would it effect the build at all

Depends on what you wanna do. I despise pve.

WvW: Are you a roamer or do you fight in zergs? That makes a difference imo. When you fight in zergs you’ll need a bunch of toughness if you’re fighting frontline/midline, if you’re a roamer you don’t necesarrily need a lot of toughness.

With the information I know now, and you also want to use staff/longbow besides staff/sword+wh, I also think berserker or possibly viper trinkets will suit you best when running celestial weapons.

You can’t play frontline WvW in zergfights with this setup though, you’ll lack toughness, but you don’t have to as long as you play staff/longbow, stay in the back and snipe the enemy will be fine.

Well I command on my druid but I keep the heavy’s between me and the other teams zerg

I main staff in WvW the S/Wh is for killing lords and stuff

Yikes, for commanding I totally recall my suggestion of berserker’s. It never occurred to me you’d be doing that, especially with those weapons.

The general idea for commanding gear is as tanky as possible, doing little to zero damage (i.e. full nomad’s or whatever.) If you go down or aren’t able to stand in the right place, your zerg is doomed. It’s not compatible with PvE gear.

You don’t think I can command on a Druid, have you not seen support ele commanding, honestly I can make it work

I never said anything about not being able to command on a druid. I’ve followed commanders using every profession, including thief.

ill tell you what I do when I command, First I use #3 on staff to jump in then I drop my 2 traps(spike and flame) and entangle, while my heavy’s are there fighting I use lightning reflexes to get out, and fight with the backline to give healing and cover fire.

He’s talking about pve gear not being suited for commanding and open world wvw…..

Little bit of reading comprehension can go a long way, classes have less than zero effect on someone’s ability to command.

so what trinket do you guys recommend for both I dont want 2 sets of trinkets

I agree on this too.

Even though you explained your way of commanding, which would possibly work I believe, but you will be very bound to those certain skills and in that particular order in order to survive. I think you’ll be far better out with a whole lot of toughness if you’re commanding, you can move far more freely and won’t be downed quickly.

And I also agree on trinkets serving you well for both WvW commanding and PvE-content. But if you have to choose, I’d go with as much toughness trinkets you can get, because you have celestial weapons and armor.

So that will be Knight’s and/or Nomad’s trinkets. That way you will have more survivabilty while commanding, and still can clear PvE content, even though it will go rather slow because you don’t have much DPS.
The other way around, max dps trinkets like berserker, will give you more damage in PvE, but imo you won’t be able to command well in WvW and die often.

WvW commanding and PvE are so diametrically opposed I don’t see any reason to not clear up 5 or 6 inventory slots. Trying to force 2 opposites goals to do the same thing is just going to make 1 mode or the other less fun for you.

For commanding on druid, minstrel might work really well if you have enough damage with you
