[Raids] Healing Druid class guide Posted: 22 Jan 2018 08:26 AM PST What prompted me to write this guide is the sheer lack of good info out there. Any new Druids would have to basically learn on their own, and hopefully have good mentors with info. The meta sites (qT and SC) don't give any info on how to play in a general sense, only what tweaks to make for each boss. No one says anything about HOW to decide to weapon swap, or the basic rotation at all, unlike the DPS builds. So hopefully this guide can be a good resource. Always open to suggestions. INTROAs a Druid, you have 3 main overarching goals: #1. "Death is a DPS loss," or in a Druid's case, a HPS loss. Which leads to DPS players dying, which does result in a DPS loss. This isn't good. So, goal #1, keep yourself alive. Though most important, this is not the most difficult goal of the 3, as you have a good amount of self-sustain in your traits and skills. #2. Keep your teammates alive! This isn't only through healing; it's also through granting defensive boons, intercepting damaging projectiles, and CCing dangerous mobs. #3. In meta raid comps, every role brings some sort of major DPS contribution to the table. For most classes, this is in the form of actual damage output. For others, like Chrono and Druid, this is done by giving buffs to your teammates that help them do more damage. Druid has several major contributions here: Might. Might contributes a massive amount of Power and Condition Damage to your DPS classes. BUILDCELESTIAL AVATARBefore going into specific skills, a discussion on the mechanics of Celestial Avatar is good: It takes 133 physical hits alone to fill your CA bar from empty, or 66 healing ticks. This underscores the importance of landing Regeneration ticks onto your allies. No other heal ticks as often, on as many targets. Also important to note is that your skills only heal 5 targets, but Grace of the Land triggers on up to 10. So you can only effectively focus heal 5 people, but provide Might for a whole group. CA SKILLS CA 1: Cosmic Ray. Tiny ground targeted AoE, no cooldown. Use in downtime of CA, but not otherwise WEAPONSIt's important to note that EVERY skill available to a Druid has a use. All 10 weapon skills + 5 CA skills have times at which they are useful. Staff Axe Warhorn SLOT SKILLSHeal skill Utilities Elite Spirit of Nature. Heals nearby allies for a good amount, and when activated revives nearby downed allies. When traited it pulses Stability, which can be good and bad. STATSFor reference, here are the two builds:
5000 health (30% more) and 333 Toughness (which comes out to a ~14% [2118 armor/2451 armor] damage reduction) is massive. Relying on a Concentration sigil to time your casts is equally as important as landing your Quick Draw on the right skill(s). So you are already trying to do the proper rotation anyways. PETSThere are a variety of pets that are useful in many different situations.
It just depends. Many of the pets mentioned can be covered by the default build, but if you are having specific deficiencies, a certain pet can help cover that issue. TRAITSFor traits, I am only going to note minor traits if they are key to the build, and major traits if it has any use at all. Skirmishing Nature Magic Druid ROTATION/WHEN TO USE SKILLSSo first of all, here is your typical, easy-mode rotation: 0) Start in Staff. Make sure to be in combat before moving to Step 1. Now, you ARE a healer. If your group is going to die, you are better off skipping the Warhorn phase if you need to re-enter CA before weapon swap is ready to go. Getting back on track is going to be situation dependent, so just try to think about how best to get back into the proper rotation. Quick Drawing Warhorn 5 is the more important one to be aware of, over the Concentration Sigil. Outside of your typical rotation, there are a few things to watch for. You want to use Glyph of Empowerment pretty much off cooldown while DPSing, but if a particular burn phase is coming up soon, it can be worth it to save and be sure to have ready. This is especially notable during Keep Construct, but is important to avoid wasting on bosses like Slothasor who have repetitive invuln phases. If your group needs a burst of healing, but you are in the Staff part of your rotation, you have a few choices.
GENERAL NOTESWith the proper gear and traits equipped, your Outgoing Healing value is increased by a number of effects:
Combined, these add up to be a 65% increase in outgoing healing. SPECIFIC BOSS NOTESWing 1

It's the Year of the Dog. Can we get some dogs for our home instance? Posted: 22 Jan 2018 08:44 AM PST Don't get me wrong, I LOVE cats and I love collecting cats (I'm only missing Lady Wisteria, Simon, the Blue Catmander, and the Bee "Dog"). But I also love dogs, and people have been asking for dog buddies for a while now, and it's the Year of the Dog! Please can we have some nice pooches for our home instance?

Golden Lost Badge Anet - Dulfy Mapping Posted: 22 Jan 2018 02:51 PM PST I was trying to follow the dulfy guide which unfortunately doesn't follow the anet numbering and was getting confused. I found this old thread linking to a post on anet forums which no longer exists. After some cache tricks with google I found the link to the image that has the mapping: Reposting for posterity and so that this shows up if others search.

[App] [Raid] discord bot for raid mechanics Posted: 22 Jan 2018 06:06 PM PST Hey all, After looking at the video posted last week link, I really wondered why a bot for announcing mechanics hadn't been done (or maybe my Google-fu is not up to par). As someone who is also trying to beat Dhuum, I've tried using the taco marker previously posted, but the spot to start it always seems iffy to me, and I generally respond more quickly to audio queues. So, I wrote a configurable bot you can run in your own discord that would announce boss mechanics. Dhuum and sab mechanics are included, but you can create any other ones you might find useful, or modify the existing settings. I ran some initial test with a Dhuum training group last night and things went pretty well (for the bot, that is, we got our faces smashed into the floor by Dhuum). The repo for this can be found at https://github.com/stellarashes/gw2-raid-discord-bot ; it is highly recommended that you read through the README. The bot can be downloaded at https://github.com/stellarashes/gw2-raid-discord-bot/releases . Please note that this is an early release, and things may be a little buggy. Please do post feedback to me so it can be improved. You can contact me here on reddit or in game at phoenix.2518 Also, if you find this useful, please carry me through Dhuum; my static hasn't really been playing much, and I'mnotheavytocarryIpromise [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Suggestion: Equip Skimmer mount while swimming Posted: 22 Jan 2018 06:52 PM PST I think it would be really handy to have your currently "activated" mount switched to the skimmer when you were swimming, as it is, I have to switch it from whichever other mount I was using. Seeing as none of the others can swim, it would be convenient if it swapped to skimmer automatically. What do all of you think? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[Prediction] What do you think the upcoming "special release" Griffon skin will be? Posted: 22 Jan 2018 01:19 PM PST For each of the previous mounts Anet has released one individual special design skin for each through the Black Lion Trading Company: The Resplendant Avian Raptor, The Forged Warhound Jackal, The Umbral Demon Skimmer, and The Summit Chevon Springer What form do you think the Griffon will take? When do you think they will release it? On a further note, do you think they will release a set of Celestial Skins for Chinese New Year? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What settings should I use to reduce visual clutter in raids? Posted: 22 Jan 2018 05:00 PM PST Bosses like Vale Guardian, Cairn and Dhuum have AOE effects that you should not stand in or you get teleported/feared/damage over time. But some of them are quite hard to see when there's a full squad using their legendary weapons and shiny elite specialization skills. Then again, I have heard people say that if you put the settings too low some mechanics become harder to see. For example, the walls at Soulless Horror and River of Souls or the flame wall at Sabetha. So are there any raiders out there who changed their settings which significantly improved the visibility of mechanics by decreasing visual clutter from other players in their squad? I know there is an option for Effect LOD (Limit detail of particle effect). Some people say it doesn't limit enough particles to make it viable though and call for more options to limit effects. Character Model Limit to lowest. Does anyone do this in raids and does it help? I also have Yolomouse installed for years. It's a great program but the necessity for it shows a lack of attention for something that has been a problem since the release of the game. At least with some bosses they also added text messages for certain individual mechanics such as shackles and afflicted. Other than that, the audio cues also help sometimes. Unfortunately, graphically speaking the options seem pretty limited to me. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Jackal Pup and Raptor Hatchling sound effects Posted: 22 Jan 2018 09:31 AM PST I finally unlocked the Stardust and Aqua Jackal Pup minis today, to find that they produce unique sound effects. Apparently the Fire and Ice Raptor Hatchlings have also had unique sound effects too, albeit more muted than the Jackals (which is probably why I did not notice them before). I have never actually seen a thread or even a comment about them, so I figure I'd make one. As someone who seeks out pleasant audio auras, this is nice. For reference and ear murder: Ho-Ho Tron And because I'm paranoid, all of these audio clips are property of ArenaNet. Also, please let us eventually buy PoF music boxes for trade contracts... 20,000 each would be reasonable. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
