Guild Wars 2

So, i take a time to beat new raid on full zealot-glyph build and after few attempts (1 boss stage 3 max, feelsbatman) i notice something about glyphs in this type of content:

• Why glyph’s don’t have separate recharge time in Celestial Avatar form and Ranger form?

Like, it’s feels wrong and slow down timings and gameplay. I notice this only in Raid citation, where i need my party heal:

• Glyph of Rejuvenation – i heal other people, good, but i switch back and don’t have burst heal for self next 20s and Celestial avatar form for any healing 10s and charging time. And im already out of Evade’s because i use it on my form.
• Glyph of Equality – if i use it for break stun in critical situation, i miss daze for whole recharge time after that, when i really need it after Healing form. And i really need that daze on Raid!
• Glyph of the Tides – like, i never see Pull of this skill, because i already use it as Knockback 90% of time.
• Glyph of Unity – then i suddenly need it for critical raid fails healing – it’s on recharge, because i already use it for safe damage state 5 sec ago.
• Glyph of Empowerment and Glyph of Alignment – 90% of time use it for heal and never see other side.

And that thing’s all time – i need it on healing – it’s on recharge, because of damaging, need it for damage – it’s on recharge because of healing.

Really, situation on Raid Battlefield changes so rapidly, and it’s feels bad losing good utility because you already use it on safe state 5s ago.

Celestial Avatar form Glyphs have really low usage – and i never see it because of “it’s already on recharge”.
Please – can we just have healing glyph’s and damage glyph’s with separate recharge times, not a “choose wisely your destiny on next 20s recharge and accept it with honor”?

This how Glyphs works, it doesnt have separate recharge time for ele’s attunements so why it should get separate recharge time for druid? especially now that you can enter CA every 10 sec.

Glyphs are fine.
I just feel strange to chaos-cast them because I’m gonna run out of CAF in 3 seconds time you know.

it’s a tradeoff, a choice, use a glyph in one form and you don’t get to use it in the other. —--save glyph of unity for heals, the damage isn’t that great but the healing could keep the party up
—tides is better as a push than a pull, especially in this raid content.
—daze on equality, imo, is better than a group stunbreak in raids. we didn’t get stunned much at all
—you have to choose who needs the healing more with Rejuvenation, you or the party, if it’s the party wait to use it in CA form. I used the trait that gave an extra heal from me and pet when i used a heal skill so in either form it gave a good party heal.
—if you’re using empowerment it should always be used in ranger form for dps boost to the party. i could only see using it in CAF if you’re going to go for a coordinated mass heal with the party.

That’s the biggest problem with casting glyphs in CAF, IMO. I’m happy to play strategically with Glyphs and risk having them unavailable in either normal or CAF form when I need them. That is part of strategic gameplay—balancing risk vs. reward. The reward for using them in CAF needs to be improved a bit more, however, since you are essentially wasting CAF time while casting glyphs. Either that, or have CAF function like energy, rather than a timer.

Glyph is over-rated.

When you compare “Glyph of Rejuvication” and Tempest’s “Wash the Pain Away”, you would find that Rejuvication is just an inferior Wash the Pain Away. “Wash the Pain Away” heals HIMSELF and OTHER ALLIES 6700 with 0 healing investment. Our version swap the healing amount, both healing amount are LOWER than Ele’s version.

Glyph of Alignment is an inferior version of Glyph of Storm too, which the latter one actually do ALOT of damage.

But we proc nice stuff with glyphs and have better synegrie and CD compared to ele shout heal.

Define “nice stuff”.

Dps bonus? I find that Frost Spirit do better than this.

Aoe push? Warrior and Engi has similar stuff already. They even have launch, which is superior version of push that cut out more CC bar.

Equity? Aside from procing Elite bonus from rune, that skill is a joke, at least in PVE.

Alignment? That’s probably the worst Glyphe out there.

AOE Daze? Big deal, Chronomancer one click F3 = 4 stuns. Gravity well equates to like 5 CC. If you want to cut out Defiance bar, Chronomancer does this infinitely better.

Cleanse? That’s probably the only worthwhile aspect of Glyph considering how bad they are without that trait. But procing cleanse 2.5 sec later after activation with a range of 300 is not exactly ideal for a cleanse.

Talking about Ele shout-heal, have you really tried it before? The auramancer I mean.
When traited, Ele’s shout grants aura = grant protection/fury/swiftness and heal for 700 w/o healing power (or 1xxx with healing power). When cast an overload = proc aura = protection + fury+ heal.

who cares what another profession can do, this is about rangers. try keeping it there.

I was talking mainly about the glyph heal compared to, wash the pain away. The glypgh heal procs CS which is extra 2k heal and seed of life which is extra 500 heal.
and grace of the land which is nice to boost damage. The CD is better, the healing power scale is much better. With healing gear(1500 healing power) you will heal aliies for 3130(heal while in normal form) 2600(CS on both you and pet)1250(seed of like) = 6980(19 sec CD). wash the pain away with 1500 healing power is 4010(first wave)2250(second wave)1130(last wave) = 7390(25 sec CD).
Regarding the other glyphs, glyph of wempowerment doesnt compete with frost spirit and i’ll probably take both. Epowerment with the grace of the land bonus on 13% damage boost for 6 sec on 16 sec CD(traited).
