Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been toying around with the build editor for a while and came up with this:

I don’t think it’s optimal, and that was not the goal, but I think it might be fun.

Currently running a full cleric build on my druid, but killing things takes a while. . . So I figured I’d try a condition build. The good thing about condition damage is that you don’t really need to rely on three stats to get decent DPS, at least that is my reasoning.

I want to do damage, but I also want to heal, so I wen’t with something hybrid. The idea being to switch between Staff when heals are needed, and Axe/Torch when heals aren’t necessary to help burst down enemies.

I don’t really intend to bring this to raids, that would probably be frowned upon, mostly going to use it for open-world roaming and the like.

Not really sure what I am doing though to be honest, haven’t played Ranger much, so any advice is appreciated.

I did a budget healer-condition set for soloing open-world and personal story on my 2nd Druid. I don’t use it anymore, but I was in the same situation as you are with a full Cleric’s Druid, and changed it up so I could kill stuff (faster) when solo.

Budget Condition Open-World Druid

Was a bit surprised to see how similar the specializations were!
Also fumbled with mine as I picked a Shortbow trait without a Shortbow. Rectified.

Using two staves to take advantage of the daze you get on weapon-swap along with Geomancy? How’d that work out?

Worked out nicely. The daze with traps providing AOE damage to proc Ancient Seeds to also keep targets in the traps was the main purpose when I threw this together. Geomancy was icing on the cake.

Activating “Strength of the Pack” for raven summons prior to traps and staff swap for might I could bum off my pet with “We Heal as One” made solo encounters in HoT maps and story segments much shorter.

I’m using a bit more bunkish build. Works very good in high lvl fractals and open PvE in maguma. I just stand in trap AoE and spam Avatar skills ^^ .
