If you plan on running a Druid build, what is it going to be? I am just curious what people can come up with and how you envision your Druid build working!
I plan running druid, and i won’t share nothing, why? Because anet is simply cruel to rangers, and i’ll share my build that i’ve already planed for a while now, cca 14 days after hot release. I hate anet for simply not taking enough time to check ranger, deal with it, and simply put some effort into balancing this amazing class. They simply go from one extreme (overbuffing it for a day) to another (making it so that this description looks nice, but does nothing).
Wish I could get back to GW1.. PvP-GvG. It feels like we are outcasted, not desired or rewarded..
I’ve theory crafted a half dozen different Druid builds thus far, when the build calculators are updated, I’ll add them to the build sticky along with everyone elses.

Just started playing around with another one, Carrion Druid, trying to use MDG in something, it looks ok so far. Gear Traits
The GS on swap is a Staff. The missing skills would be Glyph of the Tides and Glyph of Equality. One of the dogs I’d trade for a Smokescale, then you can F2 for the smoke field, Ancestral Grace into the field to blast it and gain stealth, Vine surge, swap to A/T for splitblade/bonfire. Very strong when you get to 50% health, which in PvP you can guarantee. Carrion gives you some buffer when you get there, but you get 12s of Protection from the runes + Enlargement and will have 15 might after 3s, should be good. GS in place of the Staff would also be OK with some tweaks imo.
No GS on frontline? Also feel as if Natural Stride is too good to not take. I think that Verdant Etchings will be less effective since the melee stack is theoretically moving and wouldn’t be in range of the Seed blossom we will see how quickly it blossoms though.
I’ll try this with LB/GS too and play around with the traits as well (NM vs WS). Also going to see what works best, Glyph of Tides vs Equality and Unity vs Entangle.
I made a thread just to avoid searching for build suggestions scattered over 20 other threads for upcoming testing.
Just to find out it didn’t make any difference at all.
<sigh> I volunteered to do it but you guyz are not helping at all.
A single thread would help a lot. I already posted a couple in the other thread only to see more people posting here.
Maybe we can get the moderators to merge these threads? THAT would actually be beneficial so all the builds are in one place.
Yep, that would help on my behalf extremely.
I already see 3-4 threads and I don’t really feel like going through all of them just to find out which one is missing in either of those.
But as long as it is, Zerk, CC-bot, Healer, hybrid – those will be the ones I’ll be testing. I believe the unique modified builds will be tested by enthusiasts themselves.
It’s just that a prepared such a nice thread that could serve for much more than build suggestions… I doubt bumping it now will bring it back to life to make everyone repost the build and check whether the build is not already there. If they get merged, most of the builds are reposts of each other.
Probably not viable.. Bit weak to condi, even with the glyph cleanses. I am however intriegued to see what that level of heal power and toughness will be like in CF or when using a Staff.

How can a Druid be weak to condi? The Avatar #2 is Condi Clease on a 1s Cooldown

All depends on how often you can move in and out of CF? what the cooldown on the avatar transform?
And that in turn depends on how quickly CF charges/decreases (think adrenaline).
Lots of mechanics questions that are currently unanswered, that play a HUGE part in seeing how viable certain builds / synergies will be.
