GS Vs. LB W/ Staff for Power Druid?

for roaming i think nothing beats staff/GS the speed the you can get around the map, and clear camps/shrines is insane. i also like duelling in GS/Staff as well

There is quite a few ways of going about it, and the pvp build that fluffy posted is great for roaming and small group stuff. i like celestial gear for that sort of stuff

the Metabattle https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Druid_-_Frontline_Healer works well with any tanky/healing armor for large group stuff.

Or you can glassbow for the lol’s

I often use Axe/WH with a strength sigil with standard NM/BM/Druid traits this means that you and your pet have 20-25 stack of might permanently, works real well with cele gear in WvW roaming

Eggyokeo.9705

one thing about ascended armor and weapons, is that you can change the stats on them (at an ingame cost) so they are worth making even if you are not sure, you can also get a lot of ascended gear from completing ingame content as well. so you cant make the ‘wrong’ accended gear as you can change it at a later date

Eggyokeo.9705

if you a going to make ascended gear i would make marauder to start with. It doesn’t do quite as much damage as zerker but you get a little more suitability and more crit chance for proc’ing stuff

for open world stuff like bosses, events, and map completion i use this build.

A couple of post path roaming builds

Eggyokeo.9705

G’day

Though i would post some roaming builds based on the some of the buffs we got in the last patch.

both build are similar using celestial gear and Druid/BM traits and the same utility’s

There is nothing special in these builds they are just good solid duelist/camp flipping builds.

Fist build and probably a common build that others are using
GS remorseless build this build just works is fast good aoe for camp flips and can hold up against any build you want to throw at it. this build is based on the GS and Call of the wild buffs

Second build which is not as fast and doesn’t flip camps as quick but is a hell of alot of fun to play is
Short-bow short bow got some nice loving and has been one favorite weapons since the game started (just wasn’t the most effective

anyway just thought I’d share

Greatsword viable on a Ranger?

Posted by: Eggyokeo.9705

Eggyokeo.9705

Greatsword is one of my most use weapons on ranger particularity in general pve, map completion.

typically speaking 1 hand sword is our highest DPS weapon which snobby pve speed runner is a must have but for the average group GS is more then suitable.

WvW build not full healer?

in Ranger

Posted by: Eggyokeo.9705

Eggyokeo.9705

you’ve got plenty of choices

use Marauder (offensive), Wander (Defensive) or a mix between the two even a bit of cleric/Zealot if you want some healing power. Just customize it based on how comfortable you are

Durability Runes (earth runes until you get them)

use any mix of Staff, LB, GS, A-WH, SW-WH with fire, Blood or Air sigils

use Marks (if using LB), NM (not using LB), Druid, WS,

WHaO, LR, QZ or MT or somthing else, SoS, SotP

Bears, Drakes or spiders for pets

you need to have LR utility as immob/Stun is the main reason you will die but you don’t need Wilderness knowledge for it to work it just better if you do

LB with WS:“http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJATWjUqQLL2wCmsAXLW2DM43ae9vu0ECAntmCWPYIkxRe+KC-TVCFQBKU5Hm0EcRlgA4JAQgDBA72fQAXAg0oDQfq/QKAvGDA-w

Is mlee Druid viable?

in Ranger

Posted by: Eggyokeo.9705

Eggyokeo.9705

Form a pvp point, I mostly play melee and like it. Whilst you could and i some times do go duel melee i think melee-staff is better and more pratical. Also with the new boon duration amulats melee has more survivl ability due to extra protection up time.

Last night i was using GS-staff NM, BM and druid with the new amulate with minor boon duration and earth runes using protect me and some signets. Worked quite well. I want to give sword-wh a go with wh buffs to see how efective that is

So.. Still no build variety?(wvw)

Posted by: Eggyokeo.9705

Funly enough i consider wvw the part of the game with the most build varity.

Runes for Condi bunker roaming

thankyou for you input Bast Bow there are sertenly some things that i can take from your suggestions, the build that i have been useing the last few nights is
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNAnfWjUqQLLWuCmsAXLW4EsnXwoKx1Ms6bBA4W6MtnWiUPD-TliAQBA4EAItDBwIOCANSJ4h0E4Q1fKjyves/g/0DEtHAQAAEAuuMH6MH6QLFwiSjA-w

Justine Grenth runes are great they are good for keeping up the pressure in between burst force them to use CD’s and what not

I used Aristocracy runes for a while before HOT (before specializations i think, stright after Axe got Might) on an apoth gear are there are some benefits.

Nightmare runes are my thought as well (I’m doing TA runes atm) with 2 trapper runes or not, I’m not sure yet. full trapper runes is not that great for me as i do not always use traps and i have other sources of stealth if i want them. to me its also a give away that a traps been layed, i avoid guards when i see them go invis and use my pet to set traps off.

Does anyone have some more ideas?

Runes for Condi bunker roaming

in Ranger

Posted by: Eggyokeo.9705

Eggyokeo.9705

I’m trying to decide on what runes to use on my Condi bunker gear, My Weapons, Armor and Trinkets are a mix of Trailblazer and Apothecary. I’m using a variety of differed builds depending on my mood at the time but typically using WS/BM/Druid with any combination of Axe, Sword, Dagger, Torch and Staff (favoring Axe-Torch and Staff).

Most of my other Armor sets are a lot glassier so durability runes are a bit of a no brainer. But with the high Armor, Vitality and Healing of trailblazer/apoh I think I need something a little more offensive

Currently I’m using Grenth runes as I like the chill on Hit and heal and the duration on Axe 3 but there are so many other good choices.

leveling ranger

Eggyokeo.9705

whilst leveling you should use the all to see what they do.

but when i leveled a second ranger and when im doing map completion i use a Drake for tankynes and AOE and a cat for damage usually River Drake and Lynx

oh and invest in the BM trait line as well it proberly our best trait line for leveling

Power
BM Druid or WS Druid
Pick and choose you own stats between the different power based stats (zerk, cleric, etc) to find you own mix and you can use any combination of LB, GS, Staff, S/D, S/A and S/WH depending on what you prefer (I Switch bristtleback for Wolf when using LB-Staff)
Just keep the runes, sigiles and food

Condi
NM Condi Druid or WS condi Druid
Once again find you own mix between apoth and dire and there are a few different rune and sigil options

Typically the WS verisons are more defensive with more condi removal and the other does more damage

Celestial avatar usage?

in Ranger

Posted by: Eggyokeo.9705

Eggyokeo.9705

It depends on the game mode I’m playing.

In wvw zerging and raids I go in CA and put everything on cooldown and use 1 while I wait for a better skill to be ready, I normally burn all my AF doing this because you can generate it so quick with staff and many people around.

In open world stuff I normally just use it for 1 or 2 skills. Either going in hit 4 get out or 3+4 for more heal or 3+5 to brake are bar.

In pvp and wvw roaming I use it for a lot of different things depending on how the fight is going and what’s around me.

One thing I do, is I always use CA in preference to my heal skill because my heal skill a can be used to generate AF.

Fluffy option is a good choice, also you can try using Celestial Trinkets as with you vipers armor.

It kind of depends on the build that you are running. I run Vipers/Sinister shortbow/staff and it works for me.

Some of you problems with scrapper might require some practices, i got reket by them a few times untill i got used to fighting them, dragon hunters also require practice but then they are quite easy I was luckly enough that a guildy dueled me for about 2 hrs straight so i got a good chance to understand them.

i have to aggree with Ryan. I love this trait i Dont like glyphs that much for condi removal. but i love this trait for the reduction in soft cc the speed boost is just a nice extra.

I suppose it depends on which part of the game you are playing and what you are trying to acheve with your build

Eggyokeo.9705

What part of the game are you refereeing to, just remember you have another weapon set you could use axe-torch.

In a group environment it doesn’t take much to build AF with a staff, so you could build AF as soon as you get out of CA then switch to your damage dealing set.

Also what about celestial, zealots, crusader, Minstrel, Nomads, Sherman and Magi

I’m haven’t decided between the trait lines WS/BM/SK and i haven’t decided on the grand master druid trait.

The elite can be either Rampage of Entangle, depending on you party comp and if you are getting Stability form else where.

A lot of the stuff in this build is PBAoE so I stick as close to the commander as possible. “Allies Aid” is purely for rezing the commander, drop HS and rez.

This is still a work in progress.

Druid Healing WvW Zergfights, build

in Ranger

Posted by: Eggyokeo.9705

Eggyokeo.9705

I’ve only just started testing druid in wvw guilded/zerg fight. The build i have been running is very close to the OP’s.

Some suggestions to the OP’s builds.

I think that you have to much interaction with your pet, for me I found that I wasable to keep my pets (duel drakes) alive a lot more then before druid possibly due to the fact that I’m no running healing power, but they are still dying a lot in larger/longer fights.

So I would;

- switch “invigorating bond” for “protective ward” for personal protection and AOE weakness.
- Switch “Cultivated synergy” for “Primal Echoes” extra staff skills and AOE daze coming out of Cele form.

I’m not sure how I feel about the BM line in general for this. I need to test it more, on one hand It helps keep you pet alive longer and the spam-able aoe chill is fantastic. but I find the pet still dies as the fights get bigger.

As far a gear goes I’m still not sure either, so far I like Staff/A-W staff for the majority of the fight and Axe for when your side start getting ahead (just to get tags). I’m using Nomads because Clerics does not have enough vitality, magi does not have enough toughness and mix them does not have enough of either, and ministerial is to expensive (last night it was going to cost 80g in fresh water pearls for 6 exotic insignia’s) so i might put off switching to that for a while.

I wholeheartedly agree that there need to be some compensation for classes/builds that don’t to a lot of damage due to trying to heal/boon/condi remove/not dps.

What I’ve been doing is making sure that I’m in a party and i have a axe/wh set opposite my staff so that when i see that the moment is going our way, i can switch to a/wh and get some more bags
