Guild Wars 2

What’s everyone thinking of running build-wise in PVP for Druid during HOT launch weekend?

I’m thinking of running a maximized lockdown druid build based around cripples and Immobs from dazes, taunts and knockdowns: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJATWnEqAtsglrAWsCUtgl8AD+u2XHsLBgSwp7JEE9eelsguA-TpBFABiXGQhjAABPAgEOEAAcBA8Z/BA

If I feel I need more condition removal I’ll lose BM and invest in WS to balance it – swapping in Smokescale and Wolf for the birds.

Would be great to hear thoughts, feedback and see other Druid PVP build ideas you’re all considering for launch weekend.

This is what I ran in BWE3 and I’ll probably use it at launch (tomorrow yay!). Still need to do testing as there are plenty of variations I can think of for traits/runes/utilities… on this build. Just need to find the right ones that fit me the best

I think I’ll run this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJATWjEqQLLWyCesAXLW+DM41acduuUEyABgm+VNYHUyzCD-TpRGABA8AAO4QAkwFAYt9H4uMQAHBAA

Probably will change the amulet if something better comes out. Lots of fury and opening strikes, not sure if viable, but probably fun.

Don’t forget if you can also get fury from pet swap if you use clarion bond over enlargement.

Edit: I just realized your 2nd weapon is staff. Ehh, staff doesn’t really have a burst/high damage attack so you won’t be getting as much damage out of Remorseless. It only really procs on the first hit of something, so rapid fire won’t help there.

It really depends on what the changes to the specialization are, we haven’t had our beta weekend feedback official changes yet. There could be crazy healing power scaling or crazy staff damage scaling or neither.
