Mobile Offensive pew pew Beam Druid
The Solar Beam Druid. I like it.
Seems like you could take the tiger for more damage and another fury proc for Remorseless. Set up a really nasty One→Two punch combo with the tiger followed by a remorseless maul.
nice, thanks for the tip. thing is, remorseless is just frosting on the cake. I like the tiger’s
leap i’ll test it out. I will definitely grab the smokescale when it becomes available, so this build will have a ton of stealth. might replace a bird with the tiger. also the wyvern’s charge might be good.
right now I’m wrecking people. Celestial Shadow is so amazing for your team. people are getting really really stuck in that whole healbot/cleric mentality. I wish I had time to record a few matches. all i can say is don’t be afraid to go a little glassy and invest heavily in survivability traits/utilities.
I would also like to caution the devs to be careful when buffing some of this stuff. 80% of the feedback is from a bunch of lost newbs and pve’ers. druid mostly just requires small tweaks.
I have been using something similar. Same ability set up; however, I am using crusader ammy with scholar runes. Speed trait in druid, int sigil instead of rage. Am enjoying it

Yah, I could tell Remorseless was more for occasional bonus damage than the core of the build like it is for Remorseless Ranger. Still, having a source of fury attached to something that isn’t your heal, pet swap, stunbreak, or elite certainly can’t hurt!
I’m most interested in the wyvern’s charge followed by Swoop for a free daze. Yet another way to potentially proc Ancient Seeds. The control aspects of the druid are what I’m most interested in. There’s so much synergy with the Ancient Seeds trait it’s kind of hard for me to understand why so many people are focusing entirely on the heals.
It’s too bad you don’t have time for a video. I can’t play right now because my computer is down, but I’d love to see this build in action.
Ancient Seeds are proccing all over the place. we have lots of daze =) definitely adds to the theme of the druid, and gives us much needed CC options.

IKR
It’s just too good to not take, I always start theory crafting with the Druid traits and I always seem to want to make a build around it haha.
for anyone looking for a fun marauder build, check this out. very hard to pin down, super mobile, high sustained long range dmg. support your mates with avatar 3, 4 and 5, get stealth. pin people down with Ancient Seeds. keeps avatar bar full at all times. very obnoxious.
try it and you will see that staff 1 does not need any buffs. it’s actually extremely demoralizing because the sustained damage is very high and u cant shake the beam.
edit: changed runes to Mesmer runes.
Use pack runes instead. Mesmer runes don’t stack with Moment of Clarity.
thanks man… I just noticed that =( probably for the best.
mesmer rune stacks with MOC?
no, I corrected it. Pack Runes are most efficient.
Know what else is awesome about this build?
Switch to Soften the Fall and Natural Stride and it instantly becomes an incredibly good open world exploration build. High out of combat mobility and fall damage reduction without sacrificing too much to cripple the build.
The one thing rangers should’ve been best at since the beginning. Ranging.
