Yeaaaaaahhhhh… whoops.

only issue is the baseline ranger class can do this, and more efficiently at that. You only have the druid spec on for the cele form stealth..

the damage maybe near to equal but it can provide Team support or health sustain vs dead fronts aka front lines not moving.

from a small scale point of view druid isn’t really a dualing spec at all.

My issue isnt with the concept of the druid spec, its implying the druid spec is overpowered or ‘gross’ when its barely even used in the clip. Just gives people a false view of the spec.

Hmmm, I don’t really agree with that Susanoo. I used CAF to daze the thief and heal to full in its duration (without wasting a major heal CD), then stealth myself mid stomp on the ele. I was also able to stealth myself before the second stomp using the staff blast (granted, this would have been more useful vs. another class and I did have Hunters Shot off CD again, but stealth is stealth and I looked way cooler). Druid definitely played an important part in how cleanly this went down (though the stars of the video are clearly the corpses). I’m sure that had this fight lasted longer than 30s, it would have played an even bigger role.

Also, druid is excellent for both dueling and roaming in my experience due to its excessive stun-break capability (if built for it), insane condi cleanse (if built for it) and various utility via. more access to stealth, more reliable evades and excellent heals.

If you aren’t focusing on a being a heal-bot, you can treat the druid as a very strong utility set that adds a different dynamic to how the class plays. You basically double up on many of the important things you need to survive (CC/stun-break/stealth/condi-cleanse/heals). It has saved me SO many times so far.

I have no idea how this could have been done ‘more effectively’ with the base ranger, however, and would love to see your reasoning for that statement. I roamed extensively pre-HoT and have never felt more confident, despite many other classes becoming stronger.

Also, everything is gross atm.

yeah nice. i tested out druid lb/st prior to watching this video, in pvp. man oh man, the immob gm trait, combined with quick draw on staff 3 was oh so very good. wouldnt be surprised if druid is seen more and more in wvw (and maybe even in pvp).

The ele was in starter gear and stood still while not even immob staring at the pet, and the thief was just bad (deselected and heartseekered passed you). Why is this on youtube?

For people like yourself, of course. Who knows what would happen to you if people didn’t soak up some of that salt water in your lungs.

Don’t worry dude, I got you <3.
