Since Druid got some nice GS buffs and they finally fixed Hilt Bash I tried out a few builds using Staff/GS.

This is what I came up(nothing too new):

It performed pretty well in off-season-ranked(ofc there will be more valid results a few weeks into s6). Mobility is great and tiger hits like a truck. As second pet I use Smokescale for obvious reasons. The knockdown also hits more reliable now.

Don’t forget that you don’t need to actually land Maul to get the 50% damage bonus on your pet.

You can also swap to Marauder and NM for MM traitline if you face a tanky comp. Power Warrior would probably a better option…

Be careful in messy midfights when using the glassy tiger. Better play safe and start off with Smokescale and clean up with tiger later.

Probably not a top tier build but probably good enough for ranked play and fun as hell. Your opinions?

I used that build last season in ranked occasionally. IMO it’s good for any level of play. I use wolf in place of tiger though, I’m not sure tiger is adding much in a non-remorseless build.
