Guild Wars 2

Hopefully someone has beat me to this.

Verdant Etching procs Grace of the Land outside of Celestial Avatar Form. Your friendlies are just going to have to stand in that seed. Looks like your optimal pve Druid build will probably take a couple Glyphs for higher up time on this very strong buff.

Does a single glyph cap out the stacks?

Doesn’t seem possible. You are only casting 1 instance of Seed of Life so that only applies 1 stack. The stack lasts for 8 seconds, and our shortest cd glyph is 16 sec, and probably won’t see much pve use outside of open world content.

Traited Glyphs do seem to help generate Astral Force. Say you wanted to run with no staff for fractals, I would think 2 or 3 glyphs would be the way to go. You’d buff dps a bit outside of Celestial Avatar. Gain access to it more frequently. Buff the crap out of your group in Celestial Avatar.

My bad, we have 2 glyphs at a 16 cd when traited. One will definitely see use.

Yes, one of the first things I tested with the trait. If some AF mechanics are improved a bit I think Druid could become a very viable class for fractals with all the party wide damage modifiers.

If it didn’t work, I would have submitted it as a bug report, because the skill activated by the glyph trait is clearly the same skill as the CA skill 2.
