Guild Wars 2

I’ve been reading a lot about condition Druids lately. Are they superior to power druids? I typically play in PVE so let that guide the discussion. If they are superior or similar I am interested in trying it out. Recommended builds and gear would be appreciated!

For pve Condi is, the deeps ramps up. And zerker druid is just outshined by every other power class when it comes to pure deeps. It’s power scales poorly and after your burst your damage drops off quite a bit. Don’t get me wrong it’s still very viable and peeps still run it but apparently Condi druid takes the cake for pve

For PvP and wvw power druid is better you can focus on just bursting with your weapon skills and you can hit moving targets quite well
While Condi druid requires your enemy to stand still for a long period of time to get a good bomb on them

Check QTs raid guide for the most efficient pve build. There’s a link to it on the sub labeled druid post patch benchmarks

For pve condi ranger > condi druid > power druid

Condi all the way!

Would this also apply to fractals? I had been using a power druid but a change to condi druid was suggested.

I found that there is almost no ramp up on a condi Ranger, so I prefer it. I can get up to 20 bleed stacked on TRASH mobs in Orr, including some burns and other minor conditions.

As for Druid, I don’t know how that would affect a condition or power build. I didn’t see much there that appealed for either.

Trick question. Hybrid druid with bleed on crit is the way to go. Very fun build, I love playing it even when I’m sucking.
