Guild Wars 2

Hello can anyone provide give me the build for druid to go in wing 2 raid? :P haven’t been able to start wing 2 yet with my team. we intent to do it this weekends.
some good advice on how the build works would be appreciated. (I am lazy I know lol) but I thought someone here might be nice enough to shed some easy lights :p <3

You’ll likely want to use different builds for each encounter, as they play out slightly differently.

Slothasor
If you’re the single druid and responsible for healing I recommend the following traits:

Marksmanship (3-2-1) – Skirmishing (1-1-1) – Druid (2-2-1)

Use Sword/Axe with Staff on swap.
Utilities – Glyph of Rejuvenation, Glyph of empowerment, Search and Rescue, Frost sprit, Glyph of unity.
Armour – Personally I use Zealot’s with Monk runes for healing, once more confident you can try out Berserker w/ Scholar runes.

Main aim is to keep the melee stack healthy and buffed, you can use Sublime conversion (Staff #5) as a short projectile block when the Mesmer or Guard have reflect downtime. After dodging his shake attack I like to spam glyphs / CA #2 directly underneath him to help cleanse allies conditions. Use Search and Rescue sparingly to pull downed people out of the harmful poison.

You can take “Protect me!” as an AOE stun break if you’re having trouble with the fear after he wakes up. Perhaps swap frost spirit for this, as the spirit tends to fall behind as the group moves.

With multiple Druids, you’ll probably want to take the A/T condition build.

Bandit trio
Super super easy fight, just go maximum damage / buffing potential with either Sword/Axe – Longbow or the A/T condition build.

Not much to say about tactics, just roam with the zerg and burst down each of the bosses as they spawn.

Matthias
Same traits and gear setup as Slothasor. You can also try out Nature magic (2-1-1) running stone/frost spirit for permanent protection + extra might, however this is not needed if there’s a guardian in the group. Search and rescue is fantastic for pulling downed people out of well of profanes, you can also pull downed corruption people directly to the fountain which cleanses them.

One nice trick is to use Sublime Conversion to absorb the projectiles from his leap attack (And explosion in the abomination phase).

Thank you very much Anarii!!:) gonna be doing my reading now <3
I am likely to be a single druid, couldn’t find a second person in the team to play druid :o

Anarii pretty much gave the go-to meta build for strong, organized groups. It has a high dps-output in addition to strong healing.

Personally, I find that sacrificing some dps for further healing is wiser when dealing with pugs, so I will leave the build I use here as well:

(NOTE: I have a superior sigil of concentration on my warhorn, but the site does not have it listed)

If you have the resources, feel free to give both builds a try. Otherwise, stick with Anarii’s.

thank you Razor, I prefer to start with more healing too hence I hva modified a bit the build up there and use axe axe /staff..
I will have a look at your build too thank you very much for replying.

Fully agree! Don’t be afraid to switch out for more healing depending on the groups requirements. Razor’s build works extremely well for when more healing/fury is required as the regen from warhorn can get you back into CA form as soon as possible.
