Guild Wars 2

Could someone please tell me what precisely was revealed about the Druid?

Scan the various other threads popping up and you’ll see.

Heavy healer and cc’er, new pets, can go into Celestial Form to get even heavier healing and other altruistic skills. Pew pew staff.

And lot of CC and condi removal
Sounds pretty cool actually

Good notes on the stream here as well:

Does not cover everything mentioned yet, but they revealed so much that it will take some time to sort it all out and list everything.

Uber Mega healing with stealth, superspeed, lots of combo finishers, 13 condition clearing and pets with smoke and fire fields

Druid will have a lot of skills around cc and heals (a lot of them aoe), seems to have synergies as well. Druid seems to use an energie bar which has a “lifeforce” like thing going on getting filled by both heals and damage. They can transform into 3 forms (1 was revealed). The staff skills seem super short cooldown and I think something like 3 glyphs are 25s CD or under. However the staff skills (or the form) seem to drain the “lifeforce”. We get new pets as well, Tiger, Lightning Wyvern, Flame Wyvern, Bristleback and some dino (this one has smoke field).

You’re a healer.

ok:
- lot of staff skills and traits are around healing (it looks like you really gonna be able to stack healing means).
- druid get his own shroud (F5)
- if you don’t like healing there are going to be some really nice pets (smoke scales → prety nasty if you were in verdant brink (shadowsteep / dodge in smoke fields / smoke fiels to blind), wyverns, bristle back (probably first solid ranged companion).

I dunno, the glyphs critted for 2k on 5 targets, and the elite?! 20s cd and it is basically a stronger form of retal (probably not even strippable).

Is what I saw in a nutshell. Ranger’s got laughed at and disrespected, then suddenly… broken. Uber broken. Oh and we actually get to use Solarbeam. I forget what the number was or what gear he was using (he said no stats I think?).

Rundown:

-Get several new pet types (here there be dragons)
-Staff is very aspecty with damage+heal throughout
-Glyphs have an invert with Celestial Form (your new F5, no cooldown or such referenced). Basically take what it does in base, and flip it 180 style. Push becomes pull, daze becomes stun break, etc.
-Celestial form heals a ton and the number 5 is the biggest nuke I have laid eyes on in a while (combine with Glyph of pull you into my doom ring, and a gm that roots…)
- Gms focused on heal and support and control with very little deviation (ventari-ish)

But I just saw SOLARBEAM+DRAGONITE USES HYPER BEAM! And then I was happy.
