Guild Wars 2

Could somebody explain me something?

So basically, we can use a staff when we take the druid line. So far, so good. What is the best method to gain AF? Right, TU and Staff. One of our grandmaster traits is Ancient Seeds… BUT… If we don’t use Primal Echoes we don’t have access to Ancient Seeds while using the weapon that is bound to the trait line. Doesn’t make much sense, right? So if we want to proc Ancient Seeds when using the staff we either… -need to proc it from another weapon -take glyph of equality -pop into CAF (use 3 and go out or bind ourselves using 5) -use Primal Echoes, which forces us to drop our stunbreaker/condi-cleanse for PvP/WvW. Bad Job, ANet, baaaad job.

So what could be done? A daze on a staff skill would be the most logical solution. Either on 2,3 or 4. I would aim for a 0.5 – 1 sec daze on Astral Wisp or a 1 – 2 sec daze on Ancestral Grace.

Thanks for reading, rant over.

correct me if I’m wrong but youre complaining about not having enough daze to procs AS? that’s nuts.

1) You dont have to take both staff and TU, you cant be the best at everything. You can say the same thing about might stacking with WHAO and NM. To be realy effective with might stacking you need both but most of the time its to much invesment.

2)For aichent seeds to proc, the ranger doesnt have to be the CC initiator. You have lots of good pets with CC capabilities. Also this trait carries alot of vlaue playing with a scrapper for example.

Just get the Pink moa. Sheesh…
This game is not all about Bristleback.

Barrage on point while your team mates pump out the ccs. Nuff said.

I don’t find TU needed at all. Staff is works fine too. Only AF change we need is regen to grant some AF.

Regen, Elite spirit, SotW.

You missunderstood me. I’m not saying ranger has not enough daze or that it’s a bad trait – I’m just pointing out that it’s a weird and illogical design choice.

For people who refuse to take synergy from other places than the druid itself?

No. I don’t think so.

What’s Ancient Seeds? Wiki didn’t tell me nothing.

That’s the GrandMaster tier Trait that makes your attacks Root (Bleed + Immobilize) enemies if they were stunned, dazed, knocked down or launched or whichever more of it there is.
