Founder and former Guild Leader of [RET] Reticle
Current Guild Leader of [BLNT] Better Luck Next Time

I recently came back to the game after a long break, and after shaking off the rust, and finishing my ascended gear thanks to season 5 pvp, I have decided its time for a new video (last video was before HoT)
I’ve compiled some fights from the last few days. I tried to only include fights where other Maguuma roamers didn’t come in to help me. The only clip where that happens is at the very end of the first fight.
Enjoy! And feel free to add me in game if you ever wanna roam together, or duel, or have any questions!

I forgot to include the build. I run a very similar build to my guildmate Link the Cunning who you may know as he just posted a video here as well. One of the only differences is that I run quickening zephyr for more burst and a second stunbreak, at the cost of some sustain.
yeh, you are pretty good but this is another video full of baddies… just in the first section were you can see an ele incapable to stun\CC you it’s just sad.
Going with LB and ele cant cast any reflection? for real?
Some server just have many baddies anyway. No druid can win a 3v1 if the other players are any good and not 2v1 if there is a thief or condi mesmer involved.
Well that goes without saying that if you win a 1v3 or a 1v4 those players aren’t going to be the best… haha. I would say its more about knowing which classes to focus and getting safestomps/stealthstomps. For instance I knew that ele and gaurdian had absolutely no damage (saw him with a hammer and running sanctuary haha), so I focused both necros down first.

yeh as i said you are pretty good, you see it in the small details like casting seed of life just before lunar impact to be sure to get the heal.
As a newly converted Ranger, I approve this video… lol
Actually, thanks for posting it! I always learn a great deal by watching others play.

Do you even roam?
This guy would crunch you and 95% of your server like a bug. The other 5% would make it to the tower.
I really enjoyed watching this. Soundtrack by MOTO?
Obviously you have skill, but it makes me wonder which servers these videos are made on. Being a roamer on a T1 server, every single encounter that is less than 5 people will have at least one thief and one condi mesmer.
In fact, if I see another roamer, ~80% of the time its either a condi mesmer or a thief, and this class/build would have issues if outnumbered containing those two classes (i roam with almost the same exact build).
come to think of it, I cannot remember the last time I ran into a roamer that wasn’t condi (other than myself, who refuses to play those cheese specs). How are you roamers running into these non condi people?

Hope you enjoy your new main class! Soon enough all your other classes will be gathering dust :p

Im on Tier 1 NA currently.
Personally I feel that thieves are one of the easier classes to fight as a druid, as long as you do a good job of managing your defensive cooldowns and keeping the pressure on them. Condi Mesmers are a different story, and unfortunately they are everywhere now. Sometimes its necessary to switch to signet of renewal to add some condi removal besides your shouts and druid form.

Songs are
1: Skrux – If You
2: San Holo – Memories
3: Sorrow – Kalypso
definitely check out more San Holo if you haven’t heard his other stuff. All his songs are good imo

relax dude, fan much? As i said he is pretty good, i’ve seen much better as well.
I don’t think nobody could win 3v1 if the other players know a little what they are doing. And much less today with all the reflections going around. Yeh i been havocking inside an enemy squad (around 5-10 people) free casting around them while our comander was prepping the charge, and not even an scratch. Even i could manage down some players with NC. But those are baddies.
2 players, one being a chrono or thief that know how to play and i’m rekt. Simple as that.
Now Justine go back to your Hamrev, he is waiting for you.
Good ranger play, Stawker is one of the better rangers I’ve had a chance to play with really and taught me a lot as well

Blah blah blah says the jealous ranger who doesn’t put themselves out there posting their own vids and shoots down this guy.

Thanks tanbin. Come out and roam with us soon bro.
Cool video, would have been great versus good opponents. Next time I guess
Quick tip: if you only use your druid specialization for Druidic Clarity & Celestial Shadow (hurts but well not much use vs these guys), you should consider activating Natural Convergence while you go out of Avatar (don’t channel it, don’t even stop to cast it, cancel Avatar right away). That’s free stability to secure whatever you do next.

Good tip, I’ll keep that 1 in mind.
And probably soon I will do a dueling video vs the ‘better’ players, I’ve always been big on dueling.
