Guild Wars 2

Hello !

I’m seeking for a build using Longbow & Staff (I like this playstyle ..) for doing T4 Fractal and still be usefull of Solo PVE.

Any ideas ?

Pugging?

If yes, berserker healer should probably do. With the exception of S/A changed for Staff. You’ll be staying in healing mode more often but I think that’s acceptable for T4. The healing is needed there at times.

You should try the standard http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Druid_-_Power_Glyph_Buffer traits and equipment.
I mean, LB is our meta weapon. And when it comes to staff, well, you can always just pretend that you thought your party was bad and that’s why you took staff with you, right?

As long as you bring Frost Spotter and GotL – you should be fine.

EDIT: I kept changing my build 2-3 times per dungeon. So I guess you won’t really find anything like “best” that will do miracles for different contents. If you want to be as useful as possible, you’ll have to keep adapting. That’s what we Ranger/Druids usually do.

Well
I’ll refocus.
Seeking for a build for T4 Fractal and maybe some Raid.

Is Healing Stats a thing ?
I don’t see Staff and Healing Stats in the Meta webside builds.
I’m curious ..!

I have a weird idea :

Armors : Celestial
Longbow: Berserker
Staff : Magi
Backpack : Magi
Trinkets : Berserker

It’s weird, but you can save on experimentation by having either:

Full Berserker gear with Monk runes & consuming Delicious Rice Balls for additional outgoing healing % modifiers.

Or going cheap with Magi armor and weapons, and slotting Berserker trinkets so you can get a decent mix of damage and healing without breaking the bank doing Zealot.

Celestial will just be a waste of your materials and gold.

I’m aiming for Ascended Items. As I need those Agony infusion slot.
Following your comment, I think I will try the following :
Armors : Magi
Longbow : Berserker (Already have it)
Staff : Magi
Trinkers : Berserker (Already have them)
Back Pack : Magi or Berserker (Have Legendary)

If your aim is strictly crafting ascendeds, then I’d definitely suggest what Wondrouswall said.

You can never go wrong with Berserkers. And if you need it, you can always get different – more healing oriented jewels. Jewels are easier to replace than armor.

Healing is not listed because experienced (meta) groups do not really need the healing. It is still useful as training wheels for inexperienced parties – but meta tries to squeeze the most DPS, assuming everybody knows their job.
But in real life situations, you’ll find yourself more useful healing than DPSing from time to time, or rather, from group to group.

Inserting Jewels. hummm
Exquisite Sapphire Jewel , probably.
This is true that Healing Runes aren’t existing.

I rather had in mind jewellery… Like accessories, rings, trinkets and stuff. Something that you can get from most rewards or laurels and do not have to be crafted.
Should’ve clarified earlier, my bad. Monk runes (reward from Ascalon if I remember correctly) are the best healing runes you can get and definitely should try for the playstyle you seek for.

Well Yes. True
