“We had ONE job!”
What else besides a healing bunker for PvE does Anet have in store for the Druid? Is the answer nothing? They said many times that if you want a more damaging class that Druid may not be the best choice. I accepted that, and I’ve been playing it as a bunker healer for several days both in PvE group events and in PvP with decent success. Because of the lack of innate stability (and the stability in Natural Convergence is NOT a good enough solution, trust me), a squishy or semi-squishy Druid trying to support or hold a point will die very quickly to almost anything in PvP. Trying many different types of these builds, Minstrel was definitely the way to go. For once, there was fun to be had in a tankier ranger for PvP! Is Druid the reason it’s gone now, or have other classes been using it to an over-powered level? A Minstrel Druid was The Answer, given that the trade off was never killing anything in most matches, only holding points. Isn’t that what they wanted them to be able to do?

I’m a little disappointed of course, and I’m sorry: I’m done ranting, but I am looking for some advice on alternate bunker builds for PvP until Anet decides what they want this class to be in those situations. Cleric’s is not good enough with the low vitality. You don’t hold points, and you don’t kill things. If I am doing something wrong without the Minstrel stats, please tell me so I can learn. (I was doing quite well and having the most fun I’d ever had before this nerf. xD Maybe it was because it was working.)

Fun is not allowed if you play ranger.

Neither is effectiveness.

Delete your drood and make a DH. We might as well don’t exist, you will see a nerf in our other GM traits.

It is not too late.
