Order of fractal potions for druid?
Assuming you’re going for a healing druid of sort, I would say go for the mobility potion. The extra speed is okay (there’s not really a NEED for it), but the selling point is the increased endurance regeneration. If you are taking the Nature Magic spec you can also make use of the extra boon duration.
The defense potion is pretty good, but most of the time you want to avoid an attack altogether rather than soak damage. The defense potion should be working as a safety net vs a primary form of survival. Hence why I would argue the mobility potion wins. If you’re taking too much incoming damage? My question would be: why? Are you standing in bad spots, are you not managing conditions, are you taking too many hits, etc?
Regardless of option selection Verdant Etchings a very powerful trait, and there’s really no reason not to take it into a fractal. The big buff here is getting shorter cooldowns on your glyphs with the plus side being they can help maintain your GotL stacks while you’re avatar form is on cooldown.
In regards to you feeling like you’re wasting avatar form on yourself sometimes? Well, that goes back to the earlier point of why are you taking so much damage. Even if you have to pop avatar form for yourself it’s not a complete waste as you can add GotL stacks (which is arguably more important than healing for the most part).
