Frac and Raid build ?
Hey man.
For fractal I’d suggest going full viper condi SB / Axe/torch , that’s what I roll with for more damage and a little bit of healing if needed. You can also go power druid and according to metabattle, your weapons+trinkets+chest should be zerk stats while the rest of the armor should be assassin stats.
For raids, most groups will look out for 2 druids. From my experience, one is usually full magi for healing effectiveness and the 2nd one is a condi viper.
So either use:

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Druid_-_DPS/Support_Condition – if playing condi
Ty so I know what I need
So i always can find a place as a ranger? Are both build good to find a grp ?
Just curious if ranger is “Meta” normally idc but it would be a bit bad if no one takes ranger in his grp like revenant if you want to go with pugs.
Druids are always welcome because Grace of the Land and glyph of empowerment are unique druid damage buffs. At least 1 druid per 5 people is always a good thing.
If you want to run both fractals and raids, I suggest you making ascended viper set (for fractals) and exotic magi (for raids). Healing dru’s are not very welcomed in fractals, exept for some weird “4 necros 1 druid” guys which read somewhere that this setup can faceroll any fractal and believe it. And for the raids you don’t need ascended gear, fo go for full exotic magi.
Ty for the help
Metabattle marks which builds are for what mode. Conquest is for sPvP, WvW is for… WvW lol, and Fractals/Raids are marked exactly as such. What works for Fractals and Raids will generally work very well for any PvE, although you might want to make adjustments for faster movement in open world PvE.
I second the recommendation to make an ascended viper set. Condition druid (axe+torch / shortbow) is an excellent dps build, and of course druid heals are pretty much at the top of the game. As long as you figure out how to either kill stuff efficiently or keep others alive through big hits, you’ll be welcome anywhere.
i would suggest to wait abit, since with todays update we got new stats into the game, Seraph ( Condi, Healing, Percision and Concencration) and I bet this is gonna be new druid meta
Don’t yhink so. In seraph gear healing power and concentration are minor stats. Bad for raid healers, and viper is still better for condi DPS.

I am kind of a new ranger and played condi ranger/druid extensively in T4 and raids. However, I am also making an ascended healing set for fractals, as LFGs seem to demand that a lot more than another condi slot.
