Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I recently returned to the game and I was looking for a good build to start doing fractals and hopefully get into raiding. I was looking around and I saw a lot of condition builds but all recommending Viper’s armor which I am not close to being able to get. I don’t really enjoy main healing but wouldn’t mind having some off healing in a build.

Anything you guys suggest?

Thanks!

Raiding roles and builds are pretty defined but fractals is a lot more forgiving in that regard.

If you have the Living Story maps, you can get whatever trinkets you need pretty easily, I found Bloodstone Fen the easiest to farm for them.

Power is perfectly viable for fractals and a Zerker Druid will fill that off-healing role as well as being able to buff your group with Frost/SunSpirits, Spotter and GotL.

Edit: Note the build editor traits are not updated as yet.

Thank you. Would a learning raid group or pug take a power druid or would they only take either a full healing build or condi build?

It really depends on the people in that group. I think if you are interested in raiding you should find yourself a guild that does them and explain that you don’t have the gear yet to do it properly and that you need to learn the mechanics and fights.

That said, if you do decide to go heal Druid, you can get Magi gear pretty easy and cheap, exotic is perfectly fine if you are healing. If you have not tried healing Druid yet, give it a go, you may like it.
