This whole thread has almost solely been you trying to shout down everyone who has a different opinion or interpretation of "Druid" than you. The way it's been implemented is perfectly valid and serves a nigh indispensable role in the high level PvE meta of the game.

Scourge can easily be built for amazing boon stripping/corruption, condi DPS and support/> @"Nimon.7840" said:

In group PvE they may not be the best DPS, but even core necro can be a powerful support option; Transfusion's res and pull can single-handedly save a group in certain scenarios. Not many people play Necro as support, though.

Spellbreaker strips boons better but Scourge actively turns boons into more DPS which is arguably better.

I've contributed as much as you have honestly, you're so caught up over a name to the point of obsession and can't seem to understand that almost nobody is agreeing with you and your 'dissenting opinion' will go nowhere. Elementalist already does all the stuff you want Druid to do and complaining about a name won't change that.

This might just be the least constructive thread in this forum.
-
I'll just echo what others are saying about saving the boosts. I leveled up ~3-4 characters to max before using a single boost. Really good to get a grounding in the mechanics over time and learn as you go first.
-
Aurene absorbed a bunch of god magic so it's hard to say what abilities she might develop. For all we know the magic she absorbed was like white light, the combination of all the 'spectrums' that make up the rest of the dragons and it granted her a little if everything.
-
I just want an expansion that focuses on Charr or Asura.

Everything may be subjective, but since both games carry the same name and come from the same source, comparison is not only unavoidable, but needed, be it for the better or worse.

> Preferances I guess. While I absolutely adore the verticality of Verdant Brink (my favorite GW2 map by far), I don't find myself disliking games in wich I cannot jump. If the game, by design, doesn't need you to be able to jump, then so be it.
> I also agree with you on the exploration part. Some later maps in GW1 had quite some level of detail, but GW2 certainly topped that. Again, following the Day-Questlines in Verdant Brink was so much fun. The characters, the dialogues, the general athmosphere of unlikely companions being trapped in a jungle that wants to murder the kitten out of you and while also not knowing wich Sylvari to trust - those Questlines have been incredibly enjoyable. Also Shashuu as highest-in-rank? That was so freaking cute.

Perhaps I needed to git gud, idk, but I prefer GW2 a gazillion times because the combat system is just sooo much more my cup of tea. I play every part of GW2 (except raids) and greatly enjoy myself. As it is, I still think highly of GW1 as a piece of art and lore, but from a gamer's perspective, I don't see myself returning to it anytime soon (left it on my PC nonetheless =) ).

> More power to you. Enjoy wat you enjoy.
> To me however, the general content of GW2's fighting system lacks some kind of methodical approach. It's just "smack stuff till it dies to death" basically. (Not speaking about raids)
For me it's the Crystal Desert maps that I always like going back to. The minimap wasn't really designed with verticality in mind and it can get confusing.

This just sounds like soulbeast dagger to me.

I prefer GW2 mechanically for the exploration and more dynamic combat personally. I can only tolerate the lack of a Z axis in old school RPG games too.

I can't say I find any core professions as interesting as the elite specs that are available.

All the people saying that GW1 had such a great story but I thought it was for the most part really bad. GW2's story isn't amazing but I think it's steadily getting better.

Then make it a PvE only option?

There's a lot of skill effects that no legendary touches, summons, utility skills, engineer kits, etc.. It'd be easy enough just to make the gemstore only for those skills.
-
I approve of the idea, I think it'd work best as a type of personal guild hall but tied to the story instead, make it like a Dragon's Watch HQ of sorts.
-
Are any racial skills worth using? And if so which ones on which classes?
-
Spellbreaker is a solid power DPS with some top tier CC, I haven't really explored any other aspect of warrior quite in depth enough to weigh in.

> To sum it up: OP's preconception of Druid doesn't fit in the mold of what the developers did with it in this game. At this point I think it's more of a fluff post than a discussion since current implementation isn't going anywhere.
-
Kralkatorric made the brand through Charr territory originally didn't he? It wouldn't be a surprise for the expansion that centers around him also features Charr predominantly.
-
Caudecus is behind the separatists and they're also related to the bandits.
-
PoE has cosmetic skill effects in their store and I think it'd be neat to implement. My only caveat is that other classes get something too so it isn't just ranger pet skins.

Obviously Rytlock is the hottest

> It's not really pre-emptive since staying would amount to no benefit, and [their goal](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Garden_of_the_Gods) is to find a new inhabitable world that lacks world-ending threats like the Elder Dragon, supposedly to return to Tyria to bring humanity (perhaps other species) to said world. An act very similar to how they arrived on Tyria in the first place.

> There's more afterlives than The Underworld. Even humanity has at least four common afterlives for them (The Underworld (aka Realm of the Dead), Realm of Torment (aka Nightmare Realm), Fissure of Woe (aka Realm of War), and Eternal Paradise). But like we see in the Domain of the Lost (which is part of the Underworld) and the Mad Realm (again, part of the Underworld), non-humans do go to the Underworld as well as humans.
In the departing it is implied if you talk to Nicholas and Yngvild that different races do go to other places.
"I know I'm supposed to go to raven and he with his god but we'd rather spend eternity here." Paraphrased slightly.
Asura could mean being put back into the cycle when they talk about the eternal alchemy, maybe it's a term of becoming enlightened. Do Asura believe in reincarnation though?

That literally doesn't change anything I said though.
You're saying druids can be a lot of different things, that doesn't invalidate the one Anet took with it.
I wish Druids were DPSers and not heals.

I said trying to, I didn't say you were doing any good at it. The concept seems to go right over your head though.
