Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, this is my third toon on level 80 and I’m planning to make him Raid Viable, but I have no idea where to start.

I would be pugging most of times as I have no time nor interest on joining any guild, as most of time I play with my fiancé. I am also poor, with only 3 gold on my pocket after investing on gear for my Necro and getting some good Zerker weapons for my Ranger, as well as taking the Necro’s weaponsmithing halfway thru.

I am currently planning to use the S/A LB Build on Metabattle, but I see even if it’s on the optimal builds people on raids are prone to give you the evil eye for using it.

I’ll be honest: I have no idea how to craft viper’s, how to use Druid, why should I even use him, etc. I’m lost, with no money and no knowledge, and everything I read just makes me more confused.

So, where do I begin?

You should probably begin by figuring out the druid’s roles and what your skills before you even think about raids. The information section in metabattle provides a good summary.

If you’re new to druids and raids, you’re better off running with magis first, reading some guides on dulfy, and finding a training guild.

bloodpyrope summarized it quite nicely.

Before entering raids, make sure you’re comfortable with your class and “panic” situations. Raids will offer a lot of them.
Since you’ll be pugging mostly, I guess Magi sounds like the starting point. If you don’t have the gear, yet, don’t bother with Magi ascended armor – just get exotics. Jewellery and weapons have to be Ascended, tho.
