Here is a link to the druid reveal on dulfy…
http://dulfy.net/2015/09/25/gw2-druid-ranger-elite-specialization-livestream-reveal/You’ve probably already seen it. I never thought what the expansion had to offer was going to be worth 50$, but seeing the direction they are taking ranger I’m glad I didn’t financially support that nonsense.
Will Druid get rangers a spot in Raids and GWEN?
Sure.
Did most rangers want to become forced into group healer just to be invited? Nope.
Making spirits damage immune (or at the very least something that can survive in dungeons and raids) and giving us access to resistance boon for the group wouldve been more than enough.
What the heck does “celestial avatar” have to do with druids? Ugh. This whole thing. Gross. I feel like this should’ve been the guardian elite spec.
The worst part? Lack of synergy. Staff doesn’t fit into any non-healer type build that we have. And maybe I’m reading them wrong, but every single glyph looks like it would be a terrible choice for any existing build. Druid looks like a full package, this stuff goes well together but not with anything else.
Everyone has an opinion. Sorry to see you so upset about the DRUID. Its totally everything I WANTED! I am now switching mains to druid!
Theme wise. It totally works. Druids are one with Nature and some may even call them shamans. Mages who align with the cosmos, and all that is celestial and of nature.
Why didn’t you roll Staff Ele if its “everything you wanted”? At least with Water Staff Elementalist you do damage and heal. With Celestial, you don’t do any damage.
The Celestial skills do no damage. So if you like standing there healing yourself over and over, occasionally getting interrupted and getting stacks of confusion put on you by someone with full HP, enjoy! Eventually the stalemate will end and you will die from cooldowns.
Irenio , you get a big thumbs down from me. You totally did not listen to what Rangers have been complaining about for years.
I hope you burn your Thanksgiving turkey this year and its extra dry.
The other 2 aspects are called bad DPS ranger.
You get three aspects to choose from:
Druid – Healbot
Ranger – Long Sword/Spirit zoo for PvE
Ranger -Long Bow/Signit for Solo
I don’t understand how anyone on this forum can complain about anything. The pets were absolutely FANTASTIC!
Fantastic when you want them out attacking 1 focused target.
In PvE, you cant permanently store them and they do what the hell they want when aggro’d . Constantly keeping you in combat with aggro. In WvW/PvP, they fall apart like wet paper towels when AOE’d making them useless
The developer behind this deserves some love.
While people may not like the concept – all the tools it offers are amazing.
High in power, high in effectiveness, high in synergy and gave us everything we lacked.
This is the day I have been living for in Guild Wars 2.
And this comes from the most skeptical and realistic person in Forums, so far. And believe me that I had my level of requests totally high with this one.
This “Druid” should have been a separate class all together.
Not the “elite spec” of a leather wearing-low DPS-class.
Most of the skills they claim were “so awesome” rely on conditions which are easily removed in PvP/WvW and take too long to kill mobs in PvE.
They could’ve fix ranger with a few steps:
1. ) Correct the bull-isht pet AI and let us store the pets (for REAL store)
2. ) Give us some +Might group traits that make us desirable. (Maybe only trigger on ranged attacks so we aren’t stuck Longsword/Spirit zoo)
3.) Better weapon skills. Most have situational attacks that dont do much in a skill rotation and leave us with less usefull attacks on our bar (Longbow 3/4) (Longsword 4) (Shortbow 3/4)
4.) Improved slot skills. Right now its Spirits or Signets… take your pick. Shouts are garbage. Traps need a boost in dmg and/or cooldown

Thanks for not listening AT ALL to what we have been complaining about… lack of DPS and party desired damage skills.
Thanks for defining the “role” of a Druid to healer (especially since GW2 used to pride itself in not having “roles”)
Thanks for forcing Rangers into a healer meta wheather they like it or not.
Thanks for making the decision easy to not play Ranger in HOT.

Still broken. Come on devs! Just have him reset if he does not complete within an hour. Cant complete achievements if this guy is broken. Tried on various servers and they all have the same issue.
