Questions about the Druid spec

So, I have been thinking about playing a druid, and I would like to ask a few questions to help me perform well in PVE raids.

1. Is the Druid focused on healing or damage dealing?
I’ve heard that the healing is attached to offensive abilities, so you mainly focus on combat, but it is mainly about doing damage, or is healing people your top priority? Or is it a choice of whether you heal or damage deal.

2. If I wanted to be a more healing focused Druid (If there is such a thing), what gear should I use?
I think the need to use a staff due to the healing ability makes it essential, but what would be the other weapon? Also, what is the stat priority? Is it focusing on healing power, or just Berserker gear?

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the answer Ziggy! Really helpful!

Just a question, I’ve looked at some engineer builds, and I notice they use a lot of different kits. Do they only use the kits for the toolkit skills, or do they switch between each kit depending on the situation they are in?

Thanks for the info!
Just a question about the skill set, would it be more like taking a specific build made online? Or is it simply just a role like buidling myself as a Healer/DPS?

Hi, I recently started playing the game again after a long break, but I have created an engineer. Now, I have heard about raiding being more like traditional MMOs, focusing on tank/dps/healer roles rather than the everybody does what they want style of things (Bearing in mind, that’s what I think GW2 was like).
So anyway, here are my questions.

1. Are raids role based? Should I focus on a specific skill set, or should I just do what I want?

2. Is the scrapper spec focused on tanking? Is it essential for end game play? Do you need to use a hammer with it?

3. I want to craft the Legendary Rifle The Predator sooner or later, but would it be worth it?

That’s all, thanks.

Dungeon Difficulty: it's too hard!

Thanks for the helpful information, I really find it useful. Now, to clarify, I’m an absolute dungeon baby. I completed Ascalonion Catacombs, I then also beat Caudecus Manor, but then I then took a long break from the game. I started playing again, and “unlocked” Twilight Arbor. The only problem, was that nobody was there to actually do the dungeon, so I didn’t do it. Anyway, back on track. With most of my groups, I’ve found it rather easy to get through. Apart from the boss. I found my best tactic was to just stand still, move if you’re in a target, or jump if there’s a shockwave. The only problem is the Berserker kept shadow stepping to me and mauling me apart. I think the most successful try I’ve ever done, is somehow getting them both down to 25% each. But then we wiped. But anyway, thanks for the advice.

Is it just me, or is the dungeon almost impossible? I’ve “done” it 3 times, one where we couldn’t even beat the embers, and 2 more times where we couldn’t beat the boss. I don’t want to seem like I’m moaning, but I just find it too hard! And now mostly everybody else has done it, I can find barely anybody willing to do it (This is on Ruins of Surmia, btw). But anyway, why couldn’t there be a solo mode? You know, for baby’s like me.
