I like it when people start discussions, but don’t take everything so serious and consider things as “broken”. (I probably should not have mentioned the word “cancer”, this is just my kind of sarcasm…)
As some of you already pointed out, this is WvW, not competitive PVP. If you go into WvW expecting fair fights with a perfectly balanced meta, you are completely wrong(even SPVP can’t offer that honestly). You will get outnumbered, ganked and countered by some builds. Roaming is just a deathmatch. All these random situations make this gamemode interesting in my opinion. This build offers everything you need and is also helpful in teamfights.

@Justine.6351 The OP does us celestial shadow, it’s not mentioned in the build description but you can clearly see it in the video
This build is not more obnoxious than any other meta build, condi mesmers, gyro scrappers, shield revs, shield/x ,berserkers etc…
What we see in this video like in most roaming videos is the OP power of editing, In reality this build will stuggle to kill other sustain builds and big chunk of ifghts will end up in a darw after long boring sessions of staff 1 and brits F2(LB over GS will help in some cases). However, what our options? I used to run somthing like that and got board, changed NM/WS to MM, ditched SoS, diched druidic clarity and clectrail shadow for echos and VE, play more offensive stats and sigils compared to OP, changed brits to tiger. All sacrifices to my survivability and utility havnt realy resulted in a significant DPS boost and this the big issue with druid.
No risk reward options, no high ceiling skill options.
Look at thouse last balance moves from A.net – nerf to MOC – really???? nerf to the unpopular MM traitline that reqiuers us to remove a defensive/utiliy traitline?
Nerf to healing seend which is a nerf to VE and glyphs? How wouldnt I take celctrail avtar+ druidic clarity, i’m being pushed to do so.Shave the survivability boost the offensive traitlines, raise the skill curve with good timing abilites like unblockble and such. Do the same with all other proffasions.
Updated build, of course I use celestial shadow…made an error here. Sorry.
You are right, this build is not OP, it’s just funny how often people start crying when they get killed with that stupid staff beam because they can’t hide anymore with reflects.
This build is clearly not for fast kills and it’s not for everyone if you prefer a more offensive playstyle. But honestly the only people I struggle killing are zergbuilds with healing power. The sigill of doom on GS also helps a lot if you time it good. If you can’t kill people with it, you are doing it wrong. Even a scrapper or a druid (with a similar build) will somehow go down. Use GS5 interrupt. Swapping to Smokescale also interrupts them, since it uses the knockdown after smoke assault.
Takes some practice, heck I even 3 v 1 killed a minionmaster and two staff guards, but I decided to not put this one in the video since it’s a boring fight. As I said, it takes some patience.
Btw. good points, I totally agree that general sustain of the current meta is too high. What will we probably get? Remove some amulets from pvp, gj anet.
I run something similar but using marksmanship instead of nature magic.
More squishy but can do some really unexpected high burst with remorseless.
yeah especially with tiger F2 you can oneshot people with opening strikes, pretty funny sometimes
Hey guys,
since there is not much to do right now in this game I made a little casual roaming compilation with my cancer druid for anyone interested.
Featuring:
- tryhards
- human female in underwear
- Smokescale-Portal-kill (serves that mesmer right for playing condi!)
- GS 4 kills
- a pretty unlucky gankthief
Already sold by the second argument?
Here you go…
