I’ve recorded some footage of blob fights and my Druid in the mids of them. Indeed it’s prefered to have a guard or two in the party but it’s not a must.
It’s a healing build so obviously I don’t do much damage but still manage to get quite a bit of loot.

Here’s the video:

Not posting a build yet cause it’s still not completely finished and will be tweaked a bit.

Since you went through the time to make the vid and upload it and post it here I will be brave and comment.

Your healing source is from CAF.
Need to use it more to call yourself a front line healer.
I say this because when you are not taking dmg you are not using it. If you are not taking damage that doesn’t mean the people around you are not taking damage.

Why all the downvotes on your vid? Probably because you are not utilizing CAF enough and are spending too much time pewpewing. And not posting a build here is kinda not helping. A vid is meaningless without a build for context.

I think most downvotes came from people who hate SFR. Build should be mentioned.

Not exactly true. Regen is being applied via Guard/SotP and Resounding Timbre I presume, Staff auto heals ~100 or so, wisp heals, Ancestral grace heals, whatever projectiles are absorbed heals from conversion. Use of CAF looks fine to me, don’t see people in frontline really going down. Subsequently, camping staff for “pew pew” is fine as it offers support and can snare with Vine Surge.

Yeah or he could just make more liberal use of CAF and heal much more effectively.

When you output a lot of aoe regen that ticks 470 per second you don’t need to use CAF a lot, mostly on restacks and when the commander wants it. Teamwork and all that, you know. And I didn’t post the build cause it’s still being polished and I’ll be doing quite a few changes still, like for one; I have a bit too much toughness that I wan’t to convert into either healing power or power, still need to figure it out. Might end up going full celestial or something, don’t know, testing stuff and recording gameplay, it’s fun!

yeah I watch again and thumbsup it. I ran with a zerg last night with my druid and trying to heal a bunch of people is actually quite different than trying to dmg a bunch of people. I found myself running all over trying to heal people while you were staying with your commander. I’m often torn on keeping up or falling behind to save the stupid ;-(
