Guild Wars 2

You did good for a girl!

Aww <3 Thanks for the hug!

Thanks for doing that – not my cup of tea. But you put time and effort into it, and for that I commend you.

I have 2 rangers / well a ranger and a druid and I think they are fun the way they are.

I don’t think we will ever be FOTM.

Some pet pathing/AI fixes and trait/tool tip/rune bugs might get ironed out.

But, really.. isn’t the fun of the ranger being one of the most under powered classes and still whooping kitten That’s my perspective. I could play Mesmer – Guardian/Dragonhunter – Elle/Tempest if I wanted to be able to roll over most classes..

I prefer to be the guy that those classes roll up on and say.. nah.. lets just go : p

One day I’m going to make Warrior Rifle Cool again on my next 80!

Will the artist put your toons name on it in a swear kitten font also?

I haven’t quit.. but now I only play on EB.

Nice looking Druids! Glad to see such passion around the best class!

It was a twitter thing.

I never really win anything, but today in the mail.. I received notice that I had won a contest for GW2! I was very excited and I don’t even know what to get!?!

Thanks for having the contest.. and thanks for making sure I won! <wink>

Just Kidding! You made my day!

ANET 4 LYFE!

Here is the Best Druid in WvW.

Highbeams – Although my pets are still on Brandon Sanderson tributes, I have completed everything available in the Cosmere. So now, I am reading The Name Of The Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss.

So Here’s my Druid.. I’m giving friendly view, and what I look like to the enemy : p

Did you want fix? Play.. learn it.. complain less. get good.

Thats the answer your seeking

<stuff>

No, not a solution at all.

<3 I was playing with you.

You trolls are fun though. Come play with me on Yaks bend. I haven’t changed 1 thing from what I normally do.. Now it just feels natural/earned.

Its good – Druid = Pure Awesome

Its called Superior Rune of The Druid..You can get 100 Healing Power from several other runes.. the effect is the point. I do appreciate the response!

I get the reason for the CA nerf was due to people playing non-traditional healer builds generating extra self heals they normally wouldn’t have access to (Insert your ZOMG DPS Druid Build.) The result is, that the healer role that many of us have been dying to play has been ransacked. The intention was noble and after a week of boycotting the game,(Still not playing WvW until this is resolved, just completing some old story lines) I had some time, between reading everything Brandon Sanderson ever wrote, to take an outward view.

The Final Solution -

Simple and Elegant

Superior Rune Of The Druid -

Remove
500+ Healing Power for 3 Seconds

Add
Generates AF x per second

That way, for non-traditional builds to utilize the CA at the same equivalency of a healer build, they would effectively nerf the point of the DPS Builds, and be forced back into meta.

And let’s us healers have access.

Your Welcome.. send me 50K Gems.

You’ve must have completely missed the point. It’s not that I was trying to fight any thief. The build I use, which is posted around here somewhere, is not designed to kill anything but to be full support for a group or zerg.

Clearly, if I died to the thief I wouldn’t be able to post a picture of what my AF was after 5 minutes. He got bored and left.

My point is I was unable to generate enough AF to go into CA after a 5 minute battle. Thats a problem. So as a support, my group now has to take tons of damage before I can use the skills that I wanted to play to help them. If portal or well bombed: there is no quick was to regain advantage. -

And I’m quite sure I’m the best Druid in WvW <3 according to the endless enemy tells for hours on end : p.. so I’m not just talking.. I’m identifying a major flaw and one that ruins the experience that I geared and planned for.

Talk trash if you must.. but I’m right and your A. Wrong. B. Troll.

After a 5 minute fight with a thief.. this is how much my AF bar was able to generate..

This is with full ascended nomad’s w/ Druid ruins and Minstrel weapons. On heal with Druids my healing power goes to a little over 2500..

So basically unless I kited around using Staff 3 and GS 3 I would be bursted down by any class.. As full support.

You have completed ruined the Druid with this.

5 Minute Fight….. 5 Minutes…
If this pic is what you expected… I’ll be taking myself elsewhere.

About to play a few hours with it, but even if I don’t keep it my main wvw style, its also amazing in PvE (just played about a half hour in Tangled Roots testing). So I’m definitely keeping an invis bag with this gear in it on me at all times.

I just feel bad for Clown Magic in the video : p

Gotta say,

I’m really impressed with this build. Of course I bought legendaries and ascended to go full heal, so I’ll be a ways away from making this into the correct gear ensemble.. but.. I’m gonna buy the exotic tonight and play with it.

Very cool and thanks for Sharing! VT is always on the Cutting Edge!

video pls.. cause I’m not having that issue. not saying you’re wrong. Just wanna see whats up.

BTW i just tested it, and did not go into combat. when around no enemy.

Well it wont get buried now.

if you spent less then 1K you got it cheap.

If you don’t want the pet.. don’t get it.

Understanding when a mistake was made and correcting is a sign of leadership.

I’m all ears, waiting for clarification from IRENIO.

I like that the Devs are having as much fun as us! +1

LOL @ this post

Didn’t the tool tip used to say Heal Allies and Damages Foes?

It’s a tool tip error that was changed recently. If it has officially changed to just heal, then yes it’s a bug. if it can also damage foes.. its considered an attack and will put you in combat.

Maybe you two should be involved in a trust fall event <3

Za Drots = Guild Boss!

Great Job!

Killacam.2064:

I like large and small maps, wouldn’t it be nice to have a REALLY small one that encouraged a different kind of pvp? I think it would be nice to have both but nice rant.

Like Emain in DAOC. This would the best Map Ever!

Yes, because your healing the people you mist run into. Working as intended.

I for one am happy they did it!

Finally back on Yaks Bend!

Thanks DK for the headsup!

I was wondering about that! Healers Unite around IRENIO! You are a God and We pray to you!

Yea, I agree, your main should be able to acquire points that your alts can use.

Joneirikb is correct. You can still find solo players, but it will be harder do to the extensive maps. A small group 3-5 is optimal now so you can take objectives when you can’t find anyone to assassinate.

Still super fun! Even more so in my opinion.

LOL!

Thanks for the Love and the Hate!

<3

I’m actually really liking the new WvW Maps. Thanks Anet for providing some variety. That laser thing is still weird, but now they are vastly more intricate maps and strategies to use.

I may have been a baby before giving it a real chance. Having played it for many hours now, I am really enjoying it. Plus, if i get irritated with something i don’t know or understand.. I can always go to EB for some familiarity.

Plus the main reason I was kittened was because of my solo guilds being less valued. (ie: no more upgrades and buffs to provide) but,this has actually provided me an opportunity to interact with people whom I normally wouldn’t have.

so.. I was wrong to jump to conclusions.

Pooka is Sorry and…

Good Job!

Here is a healing druid build if you choose to use Warhorn/Ax instead of Great-Sword. This will give you 2 minutes of speed and group Regen of 1Min30sec +. This definitely has some benefits to the group, but what you gain in Regen/speed, you lose in self defense mobility (in my opinion). It really depends on the group.

Yes you can go with sword for the leap and evade – which can be handy for those solo encounters, but you lose the tier 3 trait for ax. So it really depends on your style. I can switch back and forth, but I have found that once they target you, the Great-sword is better to escape and get away.

As always, your feedback is important. I didn’t review any guides to come up with these theories and practices and in no way am I suggesting this is the meta. It just works for me <3

Here is the build I am currently using. 100% support and team benefit, plus Signet of Stone to be used with Glyph of Unity. You will do no damage with this, so be prepared to be bored during PvD.

Not saying it the best build and will probably be modified over time, but I went with Great-Sword over Ax/Horn for the mobility and stuns so I can kite away if pressed. Plus, they might mistake you for a Guardian, where as with a Horn.. they know what you are instantly.

Heya,

I am literally loving Nomad’s Armor+ Druid Runes + I also turned my weapons into Minstrel Stats for the Boon Duration. I also have Superior Sigil of Benevolence which ads 12.5% outgoing heal effectiveness when stacked.

This is basically a healing monster. No damage at all! I still need to complete the story (I guess) to get my Minstrel Rings, Necklace and Trinkets, But I don’t have enough Laurels at the moment anyway, so for now I’m using my Apothecary, which only deducts Vitality, so not a major stat issue on healing.

I play 100% WvW and I was testing in a small group, and We did not even come close to dying until we ran into a force more than twice our size. (30ish V 7) Once they found out I was a druid, it was 100% Attack mode on me! The teams will have to be trained to peel from the Healer, as in other games, but that won’t take long to make those adjustments.

Here is a picture of my stats currently – I’ll post my build below in the next post for those interested. I am running full ascended and 2 legendaries so your stats may differ.

Also, get some Delicious Riceball Food, its still super cheap (1.5 silver LOL), but it adds another 100 healing power and 10% outgoing healing effectiveness. I’m only telling you this since I bought 2500 of them already : p the price will go up after this post! If not.. good for us Druids!

This picture is shown with Riceball eaten bringing me to 1,527 Healing Power. With the stacks and Druid Runes – in combat in 2,057 healing power with + 22.5% improved Outgoing Healing (Riceball and Benevolence Combo) It’s actually more because of the Outgoing Healing Trait, but, I can’t find the math to make it quantifiable. It’s over 25% if done as shown below.

Hope this helps!

14 days …………… start a timer

Azure Prower.8701:

Pooka.3420:

You sent me a Christmas card with all the dev’s sigs.. I’m sure that threshold was over 1k.. so listen..

Schurge.5194:

Who are you? 15chars

Judging from his post. I’m pretty sure he is a whale that spent $1,000 on gems.

I’m pretty sure people like this are also the problem for this game and allow this cash shop price gouging to go on.

Not everyone that plays is poor.. everyone that has played with Pooka knows he always has the latest and greatest.

yes im a Whale.. and I’m kittened

Pooka is the most important player in this game and any other <3
Fact

Pooka gives them 14 days.

When Pooka quits – your game dies <3

Fact – I can list them if you want.

Make it right

My point is, you owe me gems = to 3 guilds able to give full keep buffs including healing and speed.

Pooka <formally known as Team Pooka>

Put WvW back.. My solo guilds are now useless… your maps are to confusing…

I don’t even care that you gated the new class features.. but you ruined fun.

You sent me a Christmas card with all the dev’s sigs.. I’m sure that threshold was over 1k.. so listen..

Pooka is not happy.. I would say Team Pooka.. but you ruined that.

So Anet owes Pooka 3003.00 <3 I did the math. and my lawyers agree <3

Troll Unguent removes auto attack when in celestial form.

Can this be addressed?

Thanks.
