Guild Wars 2

Just as the title says i am curious what the WvW community thinks about a serious healer in WvW.

I can see it having seriously good uses in Keep Defense, not sure about other aspects out there.

I like Wallets, they keep my inventory … un-cluttered.

Thanks Lily ! Appreciate it.

Lome.8239:

There’s already a trait that boosts some power based off of healing power if that helps.

If you want to build more damage, build more damage. You can’t have it all.

Not sure i was wanting it all, i was just expressing an idea. Sorry to have offended you.

So when i look at the forums and select Revenant they have a lil symbol next to the forum name… i am really curious what this is supposed to be ? a mouth with a tongue ? The ranger is obvious and the ele, same with the rest.

I dunno just kinda bugged me i was not sure what it was representing.

LOL so much for the statement that the Zerk Meta is unsustainable.

Bryzy.2719:

Coarr.3286:

i hope it will not scale to well, otherwise pvp/wvw fights will lose a lot of their dynamic and will be unnessesary long

The longer the fight the longer the fun in my opinion.

@OP – I wouldn’t think so, but we’re not going to know for sure until we play it during the BWE.

I agree 100% that longer WvW fights = GOODNESS

So i was thinking, why not allow the staff for a druid convert healing power into the damage modifier for the staves attack skills.

This would go in-line with the idea the druid is a main healer and would allow them to take healing power gear that would allow them to not completely suck defending themselves.

Just a thought…

Best advice anyone can give right now… Wait till after HoT comes out before you potentially waste money on equipment. Will be sooner than you think.

Kaiyanwan.8521:

evilunderling.9265:

A good ranger will justify their slot far better than a merely-decent member of any other profession, even if other professions “do more damage” on paper.

So your answer is that you got to be better than the other players, otherwise you won’t get a spot? What if two players are on an equal level – the ranger will not get the spot because he/she is not good enough?

Dradiin.8935:

If yer playing a ranger, yer not in the Meta to begin with, so i am not sure why you think this is even salient to Rangers.

Face it, Druid or no Druid, Rangers will more than likely not be Meta when it comes tot he elitist players who refuse to look outside the box of… faster faster faster, number numbers numbers.

And you say rangers have not been in the meta, so it is ok that druids are not in the meta either?

What kind of discussion is that? Rangers should just accept their fate to be subpar and get used to be ignored unless they are better than anyone else?

C’mon, that makes no sense…

I said what i said because it needs to be CHANGED, not left in the crap state that it is now. Should go back and read all of what i said.

I can really deal with all of the Druid changes and additions…

What needs to be adjusted are the pet attack mechanics (stopping before connecting with an attack) and Event Contribution through healing, rezzing, and defending.

Irenio states that the Zerk Meta will not be compliant going forward, but as it stands now the Zerk Meta is the only way to guarantee getting event credit.

If i want to heal my fellow adventurers and really be serious about it, i would have to concentrate on healing as my primary consideration. Why would i do this with the way anything is calculated in the current game ? Does not matter which game type is played PvP, WvW, PvE, damage is the only way to guarantee the maximum chance to get full credit.

Other players who will come in here and say it is all ok, more then likely have not Main healed in other games, most of those other games are structured to give a main healer credit for doing just that. GW2 is sorely lacking in this category.

This needs to be addressed quickly if you really want me and others to embrace the idea of what your vision of the Druid should be. If i know that i will get the same credit as a Zerk Meta player will, i will champion this class change 100%. Otherwise this is a skill i will ignore and go back to waiting for my Ranger to get fixed…. again.

My wife who is a parent and in her 40s likes simpler games other than an MMO. She really enjoys Cities Skyline, also (hate to admit it) match three games like candy crush saga.

Might be easier to get her into one of those kinds of games first.

So I only really paid attention to the description of the class mechanics, i think i missed what will be happening to our pets when we are in “Druid” mode, do they poof at some point or are they still present during combat ?

I ask this because i am curious how well a bear pet will be doing as a tank with BM line and sharing healing effects with my pet. I kind of picture being a distance away and healing the pet through the dmg/heal skills the Druid will use. Effectively being able to tank world bosses, the bear can pull aggro quite effectively with the F2 skill.

Thanks for anyone who has clarification. Just ruminating ideas.

As someone who always partner with a ranger, and played it some before, They do damage pretty well. Just because some player believe one way is better then the other, does not mean it always like that.
Step 1 don’t listen to the meta, is how I play. I may check it out for dea, but in the end, I have to play my way, or I wont be playing well. I still manage to pull my weight and f that means it takes an extra minute to take down a champion then so e it.

Your mindset is honorable, but you will be in a thight spot.

ANet opened the can of worms know as “raids”. If you think “play the way you want” is a thing there you might be in for a surprise.

I am not worry about it, as i am sure I can easily find other player to play. more so it new, everyone going to ant to try it, and I will, win or lose. It learning.
Also we really no clue how raids will work, and I am willing to adjust, but I can’t see the “meta” being the only way.

It is not about the meta “being the only way”.

You are in the meta or you are not. If you are not, people will always tell you you can still do all the stuff, if you find other mercyful people that drag you along.

I am personally tired of excuses. I’d clearly prefer to be and stay in the meta.

If yer playing a ranger, yer not in the Meta to begin with, so i am not sure why you think this is even salient to Rangers.

Face it, Druid or no Druid, Rangers will more than likely not be Meta when it comes tot he elitist players who refuse to look outside the box of… faster faster faster, number numbers numbers.

I have meta characters, i tend to play them once in awhile and play on my “Subpar” characters helping other players learn the ropes and enjoy the game. Meta = work for me, buts that is just my opinion.

I am hoping that maybe we can get some positive movement on this. Seems like it has been ignored long enough by the Developers.

I cannot be the only person who has played a support Ele in WvW and found i get next to nothing when it comes to event participation (copper if i am lucky). Swap to any other class or go DPS on my Ele and thats a complete 180 degree flip to getting gold participation.

The others in WvW are happy i am there, they love that they did not get focused down and didn’t have to get rezzed. I am not happy though, i walk away with a sour taste in my mouth thinking why do i participate in this if my hard work is far from rewarded like the zerks.

Introduce the Druid, it is heals, people will want you in the group to heal, they will have expectations that you heal, guildmates will expect it from you. Sure a druid can do damage while engaged, but they will not be doing the expected job by the rest of his fellow adventurers.

There has to be a retooling of participation for healing. If i spend 75% of my time rezzing fallen players i should be getting a gold event participation. Not copper or nothing, if not for the rezzing i did, then the event might not have finished, could have even wiped. If my heals that i chose to do, over damage, kept the players who had aggro from dying, i should be recognized by the game mechanics not just players who remember it. It is all great to get a thanks, but the game should be congratulating me also, just like it does to Zerks.

I am embracing the idea of healing on my Ranger, but its on very shaky ground, considering if i do what others will expect of me i will more than likely get shafted by poor game mechanics.

I hope this is actually given some thought and consideration, it is a big deal.

Cancer starts at the microscopic scale.

Mono.7320:

Wrong section, post this stuff in Ranger’s sub. kthx

How is this the wrong section, this is about healing compensation…. not just ranger/druid. Sorry but your assumption is wrong here.

This is a valid concern, especially so for Rangers, but it affects all classes to some degree.

iKeostuKen.2738:

Why cant you do both dps and heal, like being a hyrbid?

Its not like you lost access to other weapons and traits. Even the Staff 1 was pumping out some decent damage.

Have you seen how garbage your damage is with healer runes/sigils/accessories ? If you want to even remotely deal decent damage you dress for success.

I think all of you who are celebrating the new Druid revelation do not seriously main as a ranger.

If i was interested in main healing i seriously doubted i would have made a ranger 3 years ago. I more than likely would have expected my Guardian to be the main heals.

Zenith.7301:

The druid spec and gear synergies don’t mix at all with the rest of the weapons or traits.

The other specializations and weapons shine in berzerker or sinister/rabid setups, which don’t benefit remotely from the cleric/shaman centric focus and all the redundant healing traits and skills on the druid.

It’s going to be a complete clash.

Either spec cleric/shaman and heal well with the druid, while doing GARBAGE damage with the rest of your weapons and utilities, or spec berzerker/rabid/sinister and do well with the other weapons but have little synergy with the staff and celestial form.

Celestial Form in fact is a DPS nerf to the ranger, you enter a form purely centered on healing with no offensive aspect.

I also am not happy how the druid shifted from a natural theme to some celestial theme out of the blue. It’s not related to a wild, natural theme.

Dangit Zenith, you just made me realize this also… i will have to have two sets of gear for these roles… and probably have to lug all that crap around with me too. This makes me rage even more. Not one of those specs will synergize at all with either set of gear.

March 3rd 2012…

Ahh gonna roll me a Ranger, so sweet i get to use bows and be serious ranged dps and i get a pet, better yet i can change it up and be a trapper.

Or i bet in a few years i can become a massive healbot and only be invited to high level groups to just heal others the whole time, i can’t wait for that, that will be so much fun.

Ayrilana.1396:

Since it’s mainly for raids, they can award credit to anyone in the instance like how they do dungeons.

So you honestly expect me to believe Rangers/Druids will not be expected to be main heals in WvW ?

I strongly doubt that.

Ok so i have been rather vocal about my dislike of the new druid elite for rangers.

My bigger issue will be if i come around to this healing state of mind, what will happen to those of us in WvW and PvE/Dungeons who are trying there darndest to heal and keep there fellow adventurers alive ?

Last i checked, if you did not contribute to damage you really did not get credit for the kills.

In WvW if i am up front at the head of the pack i will be focused and melted super fast, but if i stay at the back and try to provide support i will not get the credit others closest to the front of the battle. My contributions to the fight is just as significant, but i will get hardly the reward for it.

I did not hear any talk of this being addressed, i think that it would make me happier being a Range/Druid if i knew i would be compensated for doing my new role.

I hope that a dev could pop in and make a comment on this subject… might make a few of the disgruntled Rangers embrace this new role we have been thrust upon.

Druids got rangers to become a part of the meta come HoT expansion, and as far as I can tell, meta in WvW, PvP, and Raids. I don’t see how anybody could make a sad face about this change. That’s a huge change from being on the outside looking in currently.

The dev did say he’s got changes coming for Rangers as well, so expect other boosts to rangers. I mean looking at rangers currently, there’s already enough pew pew, and condi tanky rangers are already fairly solid. The thing that keeps rangers out of the current meta have more to do with the lack of group support than anything else.

With druids, you get possibly the best group support available come HoT expansion. Smile, it’s time to celebrate.

Not sure how you can separate the Druid from the Ranger.

I strongly doubt you main a ranger, cause as far as my experiences go i am generally shunned from groups on my ranger, but if i mention i have any other class cept maybe a Mesmer i am in the group.

In WvW, you’re shunned yes due to the current ZvZ meta. It’s because aoe is everything. Except when a blob is large enough where you are asked to be a part of a pick team. Surely you weren’t expecting to see a ranger be top tier single target dps and also good at aoe at the same time? They gave you a new identity to be wanted, no not wanted, but needed in HoT. I still don’t see how that’s a bad thing.

If you like being good at single target, like being a part of the pick team, you get to stick with your pew pew. If you want to be wanted and needed, you go druid and take on a support role.

THANKS !

You made my point exactly !

Yay thank you for making my favorite class into my most hated class in other MMO’s yeeehaw for being a healbot now.

Merrex.5384:

Tragic Positive.9356:

So it’s out buys.

Druid has been confirmed to be heavy healing oriented (something that we have ever seen before) and it’s going to be super needed for new Raid environment.

And it’s looking good so far as my brainstorming goes.
I haven’t seen the exact numbers – but believe me – Druid is not disappointing.

It looks super cool and powerful at that. They took their time and their time seems to do the magic.

Yah that is good for the other people in the WvW Zerg but what about the Druid ?
Healing other people does not = Bags or WvW credit for the healer.
Do not really see how this helps Ranger in WvW.

HOLY F-Kittens, i just realized how screwed we will be if we are healbots in WvW…. ugh. Seriously we will be the main target and get melted or we will have to stay in the back and never…. EVER, get any kind of loot in WvW.

Nice…. this is gonna be even worse.

I think alot of you championing the idea of the druid are not seeing the problem alot of us have, other classes have multiple path’s to get into high end groups. The ranger will have only one path, that’s if we are healbots.

This negates any choice we might have playing as a ranger, i for one play a ranger to shot things with my bow and sic my pets on people. Now if i wanted to get into a high level group i will be expected to heal, and more than likely booted from the group in favor of one who will.

It is the lack of choice that bothers me more than anything else with this decision, i cannot choose to play anything else but a healer.

Kirschsahne.2081:

Dradiin.8935:

Umm where did i say i wanted to be a zerker? or that i expected it to be that way with my character ? I play a ranger as my main, it has been mistreated by A-net since day one and has received the garbage end of the shaft for 3 years, of course i am not gonna be pleased that the only way A-net can make us semi useful is to turn us into HEALBOTS.

Zerker my rearend, you have read into something i never said or even eluded to, but thanks for putting words into my own sentences.

Play a Ranger as yer main and you tell me how fun it is to get refused good groups.

Ranger is my main char as well and i don’t think its as bad as you make it.
I have absolutely no problem to get into dungeon groups or fractals or whatever.
And i use the lfg tool as everyone else.
Maybe it helps that i am not a serious gamer and just enjoy the role of a ranger instead pimping it to the top of possibility.
And dodging rangers are feared in PvP as well.

It is a nice adition to an already nice class and nobody is forced to play healer

I respect that you can find your niche in the way you play, my hope for druid was that i would be set on par with the rest of the classes and there new elite specs, but we have been thrown to the wolves, and we will not get in the higher level Fractal groups 40+ unless we are healbots.

It affects me and many others who were hoping to be allowed to join in those groups without having to pay for the privilege.

Now if i want my ranger to be allowed into those groups i will be invited but only if i am healing others the whole time, i left other MMOs because i got tired of the healbot life, i play a ranger because i like the class, but the ranger has been neglected for way too long.

This feels like a salmon slap to the face.

Rejoice for what? Being shafted to a healing class?

I really really HATE that type of play-style..

Extremely disappointed..
This is not the reason I play ranger…

don’t use staff then, simple.

Than whats the point of the druid spec line? no point in that spec line if you don’t want to be a healer…. that entire line, along with the celestial form and the staff is healing 80% healing based…..

I think all these people championing the “healbot” are thinking of how great there zerker’s will do with us protecting there lazy butts, so they are here campaigning away trying to convince the ranger community of how fantastic it will be for us to heal them all.

Kailee.8790:

Shall we begin to burn the druid for being subpar as well… let me go grab the wood and torches

I think every other class got an elite that makes them stronger offensively, Rangers like always get the shaft, now weather we want it or not, we will not get in groups unless we are specced to heal, and now that’s all we will be able to do if we want to play as our rangers… we will be healbots and nothing but that.

Seriously, if you are running fractals 40+ and you include a ranger in the group, you gonna let that ranger DPS ? Or will you expect it to be healing like a good little ranger should be ?

Mark my words we will be nothing but main heals in every aspect of this game now.

I take it you never played a main healer in other games….

Get ready for the demanding leaders…. the stupid DPSer’s, the holier than thou tanker’s, and the smug stealther’s. All of whom think it is there job to tell you how you are doing your job wrong, because they are too idiotic to not stand in the red, or the fire, or to dodge, or to not grab aggro… or whatever other scenario you will be placed in as the defacto healer and the one responsible for all of there failings.

I played holy pally and resto druid in wow for four years sir and I loved it.

I think the key word in your reply is “played”.

Kirschsahne.2081:

Dradiin.8935:

Seriously, now we are relegated to healing in dungeons, fractals, HoT, and i am sure it will be a forced thing in WvW as well. So much for hoping my ranger might be viable in the game as something more than " Heal, Heal, Heal".

Well.. sorry you are disappointed.
But i am afraid GW2 is not for you if you can’t adapt to somethign else than zerker meta.
They will change a lot and even mentioned that you should dust off your tank for the future to soak up heavy hits.

There are plenty other games around that are more likely to your likings

Umm where did i say i wanted to be a zerker? or that i expected it to be that way with my character ?

SyllyReth.2495:

They totally missed the mark on this one, and I had such high hopes. l =/

Correction…. A druid class HAD so much potential =(

Guess we will be the defacto healbot now, yeehaw, gonna need to buy new runes and sigils i think.

No i just watched it on twitchcon, Druids main focus will be healing, straight from Irenio’s gob. Even worse is we will have a zero cooldown spammable heal … think Moonkin WoW.

Seriously, now we are relegated to healing in dungeons, fractals, HoT, and i am sure it will be a forced thing in WvW as well. So much for hoping my ranger might be viable in the game as something more than " Heal, Heal, Heal".

Dang i was kinda hoping that we would still keep our pets but the druid elite would “meld” or lack a better description “were” with the pet, taking on a humanoid/animal combination. Giving the druid similar but slightly modified skills.

Would really be cool adding in the Moa’s and other strange pets.

Pipe dream i know but still woulda been a sweet thing given to the ranger community that has been so mistreated for over 3 years.

The whole right click -> open all or use all is a QoL upgrade that benefits everyone. Particularly mice. Games have had these features for years before GW2 was even released, and I can’t find a good excuse to keep it out of the game.

If you don’t mind me asking… Can you cite a source of game that specifically has something equivalent to a ‘Use-all’ option, preferably a video if one does exist?

Thank you. I have never seen it in the ways I have described it.

Runescape. As time has gone it, it added a lot of options to the game. For example, if you go to combine potion ingredients, you get the following on right-click:

Make 1
Make 5
Make X
Make all

Similar QoL features for most production skills in the game. Fletching, Crafting, and Smithing have similar options.

Simple additions like this would improve the game by leaps and bounds.

Standing around in a fort AFK looking through my bags is not something i approve of and i choose not to do this, there are others trying hard to complete events, and generally the map is full, if i am AFK sorting my bags while the map is full i am taking that map spot to do nothing important.

So teleport to LA or wherever and do it there. For that matter, just take the gate into Brisban.

And then you lose the buff, so you have to start all over again when you re enter the map. What is your damage against people wanting improvements to inventory features? If you don’t want to use it, don’t. Getting a feature doesn’t mean you have to use it. This is like us asking the landlord if we could please have a dishwasher installed, and the nosy neighbor poking their head out the door, and saying, “well you can just wash then by hand, you don’t NEED a dishwasher”

No kitten. We know there are work-arounds, but wouldn’t it be an improvement on the current system?

Thank you Kitty,
I have asked Menadena several times why he cannot explain why my idea to have A-net provide a better QOL for item sorting is a bad thing. All he replies with are ways that he likes to play and expects me and others to just conform.

At this point i am just going to ignore his trollish ways and move on, the game needs improvements for bag sorting, and for other types of inventory management, A-net needs to look into this and “Fix” it.

Menadena.7482:

I am on GW2 several hours per night. I think I have managed to fill an inventory twice and I get a lot of drops.

When things slow down (you are not in a battle 100% of the time) look through your loot. Junk gets tossed it its own bag to go to the merchant or the mystic toilet (but might get deleted if I need the space) and I then start opening bags/salvaging. A lot of the items will salvage to the same things, just different tiers: mostly wood, ore, cloth, and leather. Sell it on the TP or just hit the option to deposit everything if you are in a hurry.

As I said, I can do several world bosses in a row and have no problem opening the various chests and such. If your complaint is it takes time just do it as part of your routine when you stop at a merchant to get new stuff. Yes, this works even in the SW as I only open stuff when in the fort.

You have yet to tell me why it would be a bad thing to have more options. you continue to tell me how you play and how you think i should want to play, but that’s not how i play. Because i think A-net should provide a better experience that would not just benefit me but you and everyone else, you feel the need to tell me how i should play like you do.

Standing around in a fort AFK looking through my bags is not something i approve of and i choose not to do this, there are others trying hard to complete events, and generally the map is full, if i am AFK sorting my bags while the map is full i am taking that map spot to do nothing important.

I do not think anyone else should play the way i do, i do think A-net should provide a better way to sort my bags without the tediousness that we have to endure.

By the way, telling someone who plays GW2 to not loot is patently ridiculous, the game is centered around loot and the chance to get something special from potentially anything you kill.

I used to think this was a bug on my end ( Razer Naga was brand new when GW2 3 years ago ). Can’t believe it is still not able to be modified after 3 years of development.

Menadena.7482:

Aww, I really feel for you. All that treasure is SUCH a burden. Two solutions:

a) do not farm chests in the first place
b) delete those equipment bags after getting the crests and such

I regularly have around 70 free slots in the open world and could have more if I wanted. No, that is not extra bag slots … just regularly cleaning up junk I do not need with me. It allows me to go to several world bosses and open all the loot without worry.

As i stated earlier, i just don’t understand why you would attack me for wanting a solution for the abnormal amount of clicking one must do for a couple (as in 2 ) hours of playing (read that, PLAYING not FARMING).

Why would you not enjoy more options when you are clearing out the loot you have accumulated in your adventures ? Makes absolutely no sense that you attack me for this. I am not Farming chests, i am in SW doing EVENTS not following a train.

You can obtain specific bags that will fill with equipement of different rarities and have unlimited salvage tools in the gem store.

You can also use the search function in your inventory and search for “masterwork” or fine and it will only show items of that rarity.

Salvaging is not a problem, if your set up for it.

I think his complaint was the sheer amount of clicking required. If so, i concur.

I recently opened 750 champ bags and around 400 bags of gear. That’s a lot of very rapid clicking.

Not that I don’t agree about mass salvage, sell, use “luck”, buying and more but why do you wait to open your bags? I mean I can understand to wait for a stack of 250 but why wait until you got 750 bags? If you take a break in your farming/grinding or whatever you do and open the bags now and then, it wont be as much rapid clicking.

When i am running events in SW, i am doing it as part of a huge map wide group, i frown on those who afk on the map because at some point everyone should be contributing to the events.

I tend to sort my bags before the reset happens….. that’s when Tedium comes.

Oh, i don’t get how anyone would disagree with me that this system is TEDIOUS and should be changed in some form. Unless you are a shareholder in Razer (love me naga) or some other mouse peripheral company and want us to replace mice every 6 months ?

You nailed it, not sure how it could have been worded differently.

Thanks for your reply though.

I love me some Guild Wars 2. I love playing Silver Wastes and running the events and enjoying the company of other like minded players.

For the love of Dwayna, can we please get a comprehensive fix to the terrible salvaging systems and the chore it can become to go through your inventory after just a couple of hours of game play ?

This is literally the least intuitive aspect of this game, and it ends up becoming a serious issue int he long run. I am not complaining about getting loot, that’s great, but its soooo tedious.

Please A-net, fill just one 20 slot bag with containers that have full stacks then salvage them all and come tell us the players what you think of doing that is like.

I hate to say this because it will just monetize the game even more, but i swear to Grenth i would pay 4k gems just to get this game’s salvaging more streamlined.

Love this game, i really do… please fix this, pretty please.

I find it distasteful in the extreme, but arena.net hasn’t declared it verboten, so this is what we get. Personally, I wish they’d make an official statement forbidding it, an then actively ban anyone who tried to do it. Of course, the kind of people who buy and sell these services are hugely offended about anyone who feels this way. They always immediately start screaming “How are they hurting you?” “shouldn’t they be paid for their skill?” etc. I could care less about their arguments though, it’s just tacky and sad, exploitative on the sellers side and pathetic on the buyers. At the very least if Anet banned it they’d have to make shady backroom deals on 3rd party forums and such, and you wouldn’t see it in the LFG tool anymore, and that would be much better. They could hang out in the dark alleys of the internet making shady, shameful deals all they want, always fearful that their dirty secret would come out and their account would be properly banned.

Lol someone is seriously overreacting to people who sell dungeon runs.

I think this is a low point in GW2, the bar is set by WoW players who proliferate this mentality. I specifically started playing GW2 because of the developers wanting to move away from this mentality.

Support it all you want but it is a slippery slope, once this is considered “Normal” then the WoWification of yet another game is not far behind.

From what i remember on release its in Texas. Seriously though… 100 ping ? Big deal, try my 650 ping from Barrow AK.

So i played this game for over a year then my computer went poof and i moved a few times. I am back to play again but i feel so lost. i have a level 80 for each class, but i dont understand how the skills are allocated anymore.

I am curious if there is a veteran noob guide out there… or better yet maybe A-net can make this part of the game ? i know… wishful thinking.
