Guild Wars 2

After using the normal metabattle build (Celestial Druid/NM/SV, Staff+s/t) i got a bit bored of the lack of mobility and condi cleanse:
Staff is okay for mobility but the put-you-in-combat bug really holds it down on the map movement side. Sword hasnt been faster out of combat than running with swiftness since the change to movement skills. Lacks swiftness unless you rune for it. Sustained condi-clear really is poor, you get a couple clears on utilities. Torch feels weak without quick draw. You will die to big condi spammers like necros or the heavy condi DD, but not to those who only use a few. It’s pretty good but it could be better.

Then I tried out ROM’s current spec, which is the meta, but with BM over SV, GS and WHaO. Much better mobility because of GS and constant swiftness. Same problem with big condi bursts. Also, damage is higher than the meta but only for a short time (during your 25 might stack after popping both shouts). You can solve the condi burst issue by dropping Primal Echoes but that is a HUGE loss on interruption and ancient seed proccing, as its one of the easier interrupts to land on a short cd.

Then I came up with this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJARWnMqAdrgVsCOsActgFGBDOqeV7qOhuRwpjpA8tCAlMtzA-TpBFwAFOCAx2fwxFAQxDAAaZAAHCAA

Druid/NM/Skirmish, Staff/GS. Condi’s are mitagated through healing spring and Lyssa runes. We lost swiftness from Resounding Timbre, so pick up Natural Stride. Drop the meta Glyph of Alignment for either vipers nest or flame trap (I prefer Vipers Nest so I don’t accidentally combo in the wrong field). Quickdraw means you can double leap or double blast your healing springs, makes leaving outnumbered matchups much easier. the staff 3 bug becomes an upside because it lets you proc QD for 2 swoops. More fury uptime from weapon swaps helps all around. Healing Spring drops a bit faster than the other heals which helps in this hard-cc meta.

Give it a try.
