Anyone else thinks this is odd? They create this new boon and a super heavy support spec but won’t give it to us in any way? Ranger could actually benefit from that since stuff like Empathic Bond is constantly ticking.

They gave us massive amount of aoe condi removal, some examples: the seed of life thing, and if you have glypsh traited that bring even more seeds of life and the GM trait that reduce damage from condis by 33%. Not good enough?

I don’t find it particularly odd. Ranger tends to have so much condi cleanse it can’t carry it all at once. Resistance stops conditions working for a time, but it doesn’t remove them. Druids have multiple methods to cleanse conditions. Resistance isn’t necessary, we already have the better option.

As the other posters have said, resistance isn’t needed.

As predicted, the other professions are already shouting “OP!” so adding resistance would be the cherry on the cake I think.

I think if they added multiple resistance capabilities too, group PvE content with a Druid would be like getting a piggy-back on a 10-foot tall, 400kg rugby player while he plows through the crowd while you shoot at stuff from his back.

I think it’s only fair that other professions are left some decent support capabilities like resistance to excel at too. No doubt the next round of Especs will see another profession take on the role of heavy-support in a similar manner too.

We are suppose to be proactive not reactive. While the condi cleanse is nice some of the heal could have been tone down and given us tools to mitigate both physical and condi damage ,so resistance and protection should have been in there somewhere.

In order to properly understand the big picture,
everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section of truth.

*Grace of the Land – When you enter Celestial Avatar form, incoming condition damage is reduced by 33% for you and your allies.

*We have lots of aoe weakness already and some protaction on ourself . Even more now with WHAO change.

Its not even a boon spec, its just heal spam.
