- Natural Mender will be useless to you but theres nothing you can do about that
- Glyph of Rejuvination is terrible compared to even untraited Troll Ungeunt, especially if you aren’t focusing on healing other people
Buffing Predator’s Onslaught so that it increases your damage by 100% in PvE and then congratulating Rangers for now being in the dungeon Meta.
Its boring, passive, doesn’t add anything new or interesting, doesn’t fix any of the problems with the class and will still somehow get nerfed due to PvP.
I’m confused as to what some of you wanted. Did you want top teir DPS when there’s already plenty of offensive options available? Would you rather be in the situation Warrior is in where the spec basically offers nothing really new in terms of role and is basically just side grade and probably won’t see much serrious use?
Its basic 1 note support through heal spam when most other classes can provide decent group healing while offering damage boons or soemthign unique to the party and has direct competition from Ventari legend which is on a better class.
It’s… It’s everything I’ve wanted to play since launch.
Must not switch mains must not switch mains omg
Just go Inspiration and spam MoP, shatters and add Chrono for well of eternity. If that doesn’t meet your groups healing needs I’m sure your friendly neighbourhood Guard, rev and ele can help you out while providing all the support and damage they are capable of.
Is it possible for a moderator to clean up the non-constructive posts in here? Cut down on the signal to noise ratio a bit? Am I asking too much for the ranger forums… = )
They really shouldn’t delete posts just because they don’t share your opinions.
This is one of the main problems with the extreme tunnel vision of this spec. Why are you going to bring in a druid who is spamming out heals when your party will will include plenty of classes providing multiple kinds of support.
You could have a Guardian thorwing out some passive heals while applying aegis, blinds, reflects and condi cleanse and stab while doing decent damage, a Chrono who can spam MoP and shatters with the heal traits and their aoe heal well while also providing reflects, condi cleanse party wide cooldown reduction and quickness as well as a rev who can sit in ventari for when the healing is needed then swap to Shiro or Glint for better damage and other types of support.
Those 3 will provide more then enough group healing that a druid will be pointless and all 3 will be providing other things to the group as well.
I think there was a line I read somewhere that there will be damage and mechanics than cannot be dodged in upcoming content.
I imagine that will stay for a couple weeks then all the people that QQ about not being able to fight Mesmer, that there is no trinity, that thieves are OP and stealth is OP will flood the forums complaining and Anet will nerf raids.
To be fair it sounds like really kittenty design in a game that advertised no healers and its combat system is based around the ability to dodge and heal yourself.
I get the feeling Glyph of Unity actually does set damage every time you are hit like retaliation. If you look at the tool tip it has a damage value listed.
I’m jealous because everyone’s getting (way) more skills than the chrono :c
While druid does get a lot of skills and seems to go against what they said about 2h vs off hands when first announced, all of druids skills can be summed up as ‘and this also heals’. We aren’t missing out on much there.
What they gave us
“Come with us, sit in the corner over there, do your healing healing crap and we will let you know when you can leave. Oh and face the corner, and wear this dunce cap”
How did you get that from the livestream? What I saw was some good damage with a lot of support utility.
You seem to have a skewed view of what good damage is and heal spam is not a lot of utility.
Am I the only one who thinks the staff and Druid should be condition damage and healer?
It needs to be something and healer, everything about it is just so shallow and focused on spamming out heals. The other classes can use the specs to augment or create different kinds of builds/playstyles, Druid is ‘spam your heals you meta now XD’
No boon generation, no unique effects like banners, nothing close to what alacrity can do. No its just boring 1 note heal spam in a game where everybody can heal and they told us to come play if you don’t like having to find healers.
Obviously we disagree on the might, as that’s the other part that brings in Chaos (12+ stacks of might from BD), and some other minor boons from BD (fury, regen, vigor).
I’m not really in the debate, but how does this provide 12+ might? As far as I understand, each F1 shatter is 3 might regardless of the number of shattered illusions, no?
3 might for 15sec + boon duration + alacrity bringing the cd of F1 down.
Indeed, Pyro’s build received an upgrade for BWE3, with iAvengers being able to actually provide some alacrity, and Well of Recall providing 2s more alacrity per cast than before, and on a lower cooldown (which more than compensates for the decrease in uptime from Well of Eternity, as the Recall gain is up-front, while the Eternity loss is in long-term uptime).
Would it even be worth getting the iAvengers out with the way the block works now?
There is no way that video is of the staff auto-attack. The ranger was rooted in place and it had like a 3 second cast time.
“We heard your complaints about the 1h Sword being too mobile…”
to bring something fresh and new to this thread – facts – i just say you that one dev already said, shortly after the announcement that the skill we saw in trailer was changed. it is able to be cast while moving and the cast time was halfed i think. everything is changing at an alarming rate. except the ranger community. they never stop crying.
