Guild Wars 2

I dunno, I’ve been enjoying success with this with berserker/maurader.

I think people still view druids as a less optimal target than DH or other various “easy” targets. If someone calls you on it, run away faster than fast? Thoughts on viability? Obviously just PUG queues since running isn’t exactly useful with team comm.

Quick note that regular forum viewers will know, I ALWAYS run quickdraw regardless of build so I’m a tad faster than most.

idk about staff & gs but i have been using this since the patch: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJARTnUqA1CiNsAWsActgl/AD+s2WvrPphfwRb51lBCAlI80A-TpRBQBP4IAQl9HmwhAAAPAAIWGQDXAAA

It has enough sources of regen to get cele avatar on cd (4 in total if solo 2 from shouts and 2 from sotw so cele avatar charges in 16.6 sec, so all you need is a couple of hits to be on cd if you start from 0 af).
And because of the stats you are nowhere near squishy and hit like a truck and poop out cc and vulnerability like no tomorrow. It is not uncommon to get a 8k furious pounce or a 6k maul or more depending on the situation and if your setup goes well.

My advice is stealth yourself when someone’s engaging you, u can easily gain stealth while leaving CA Form. But if u don’t have such energy to become CA, u can use GS 3 inside the smoke cloud created by Smokescale. In the meantime Smokescale will rush to the enemy. While in stealth (3 sec) you can decide to change the pet that can knock down your target(or anything that can disable target for a while. Our pet become unstoppable in few sec, thx ANet) and empower yourself to strike by surprised; or u run away for distance to take the next step. Maybe heal yourself or shoot him from a far. Well this is effective against thief. If he surprised you.

I’d prefer to act aggressively.

Ya pretty close to the same idea. I feel like we have some potential for moving back into the classic thief/revenant role, like back in the glory days of LB.

I mean we’ve always had the option of going glass, it’s just now it seems more effective than other options. So we got nerfed into a more fun playstyle.

Edit: And then anet sees my post and claims they planned it all along.

Thinking of trying a SB/GS gimmick build for fun in WvW. Don’t think I have enough power to make GS worth it, but the mobility / stealth uptime would be hilarious.
