I’ll be completely honest, I hardly ever play WvW let alone PvP… I’m the type of player who has always preferred sticking to PvE and the storyline. However, I do agree with most players who have voiced the fact that Druid is practically ONLY healing based. I was incredibly psyched for Druid, when I read the the article that revealed its abilites I was a little skeptical to say the least, but I was optimistic. However, I tried Druid in the Beta, and although there are some enjoyable things about it I am very disappointed that everything about the Druid seems to be to help out other players and very Raid/ pvp oriented… All the abilities seem to have the keyword "allies"in the descriptions.
I am a fan of the celestial magic though, its not what I expected from Druid but it is fun and visually appealing. BUT, the fact that there is like no abilities that do significant damage is a big let down. Especially that in the Celestial avatar form there should be at least 1 ability that does significant damage (maybe aoe damage like meteor shower + an aoe heal) or even if lunar impact not only healed allies and dazed foes but also did some damage.
As for Sublime Conversion… it just seems pretty useless and I think a lot of people can agree. Visually its top notch but what it actually does less so.
Also, this is a minor point, but I would REALLY love if the visual aspect of Solar beam changed a bit. The ray seems very weak and small, unlike the actual power of the sun which should be impressive.. It would be really awesome if the width of the beam was slightly larger<3
Another ability, Seed of life in the celestial form… I just dont get it. the Healing is good, but it reminds me wayyyyy too much of the sylvari healing seed ability and would just seem weird for any other race other than Sylvari (Also, Im sorry but the ability itself is kind of ugly and grosses me out..)
I don’t want to bash the Druid specialization like everyone is, but… I mean there;s a reason why it caused such an uproar. It’s a radical change to the Druid Dynamic and completely switches a dps class to a healing one…
All in all it is still a good class, I just hope that there can be some extra damage incorporated in the Druids abilities.
Ps. The new pets are just awesome though<3
