Just to add something, if you preffer you can spend a bit more gold (around 20g) and craft the Vial of Salt as an amulet instead of farming episode 6. And depending on how many chars you have i find it faster to get ring, accessory and backpack all from episode 3. @Zuldari.3940 Interms of boon duration i think that awakened/mordant weapons, ascended harrier trinkets and concentration food is enought as a good start, with time, a bit of luck getting armor boxes and the magnitite shards you can start swapping the magi armor with harrier. Thats what i did with my druid. FYI: awakened weapons cost around 20s (sellable on the TP) and are rare weapons with harrier stats. Mordant weapons cost a bit more (you need to craft them, its around 4g) and are exotic with harrier stats.

I think adding food buffs is the most important thing, it feels terrible to waste food just to try to improve your rotation and compare it with the benchmarks. From the OP sugestions i think only 1 is possible/usefull, the rest i don't think you can train in the training area, or at least change 4 in order to spit out some aoes in order to train your rotation with a few "distractions"

I really liked the story from chapters 1 and 2 but after that it just went downhill for me. I liked the story of episode 3 (the map was terrible) until the very end when aurene ex machina's the situation and one shots joko from stealth. After that the hole season left a sour taste, especially the come back of aurene. I know dragons eat magic but i don't recall any situation where they also get the powers of the humans they eat. Or is joko no longer a human? Or can dragons absorb any power apart from divine, and not just Elder Dragon sphere of influence? And how does one become a lich? So many questions that had to be known before using joko's power to bring aurene back. And if dragons can just gain the power of the people they eat wouldn't it be awesome if glint just ate destiny's edge and just 1 shot kralk from stealth with a gunblaze while in beastform with Garm? Because if the story is going to be written just to create shock value and sound cool that would have been way better /s

Maybe i'm over thinking it but with all the fields being put down (mallyx elite, various water fields, light fields from guardian, etc), i don't like trusting boon uptime to blasting fire fields. But maybe it works, need to try it out

Thank you for your input, i understand that renegade will always be more meta due to the permenant alacrity (especially now that a lot of chronos are tired of always having to relearn the class) and Soulcleave's but i was just trying to create an of meta build that gives good healing and helps with boons in pugs (mainly might and fury). Glad you liked it and found it promising, especially after all the changes @ButcherofMalakir.4067 and @ollbirtan.2915 sugested.

Thank you very much for all the help, I will be sure to try it out when i have the chance

Tyvm for all the feedback everyone, I have been puging a bit and looks like the biggest drawback of this build is the meta mentality, since a lot of low LI groups still ask for 2 druids or 1 druid 1 scourge. Although it is a good sugestion i preffer the sugestion of @ButcherofMalakir.4067 I like the food change and the few pieces of magi since it gives me a bit more crit = more might. The infusions are just normal +9, i just forgot to take them out when i was trying to see if it makes a lot of difference in Healing Power in the calculator xb This is the current build. Any more commentaries on to make it better? http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PmyAw6ZllQKMKyiNRXsKCjFSisBqgn/lXrE-zRRYQhooGd06lR1ZQ6lgvzSgbWA-e tyvm everyone edit: Btw any thoughts on Generous Abundance vs Selfless Amplification? I preffer to take SA but mostly because i hate the orb mechanic since most people don't even know about the healing orbs

Hi, so in my search to find an offmeta healer (i'm tired of playing druid) i have been experimenting with herald. The problem is i pug since my schedule makes it so i can't commit to a static so trying out offmeta builds isn't always easy. I think the build isn't bad, especially in maintaining 25 might, fury, regen, prot in a pug setting where boon uptime isn't always the best. It also gives a bit alacrity, some really nice healing and assassin's presence. Of course it lacks spirits and gives 0 quickness so it will never be meta but anyway can you give some thoughs on the build and ways i can maybe improve it? Just to say it again, this is not a build for speed clearing and optimized comps, just some try at using a supp that isn't druid or firebrigade (although i have my alacrigade ready, it really rare to find a healbrand in pugs) http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PmyAw6ZllQKMKyiNRXsKCjFSisBqgn/lXrE-zRJYqRHfZUdGkeJ47BJU2DvF/2sA-e tyvm in advance

If they sold a throne of ice i would no doubt buy it and try to get a lich king look, but i don't think there is any weapon that looks like frostmorne or any helm that looks like the helm of domination edit: the closest weapon i can think of is the Spectral Greatsword

What? I read i lot and never have i ever seen anyone attack a writer because the bad guy of the movie/book/game is racist... Have you ever seen any one say tolkien is racist because Sauron wanted to kill mankind? Or that JK Rolling is racist because Voldemort wanted to rule over muggles?

Really? We go this far as to state that the writers are "racist" in a fantasy game. I gave up on the mentality of the people playing this game when I was deemed "racist" for creating and promoting an "All Norn" guild. The constant drop of certain words devalue their meaning. He isn't saying the the writers are racist, he is saying Caudecus is racist...

My biggest fear if the price stays the same until the release, is that once its released anet won't change it in order to not offend people that already crafted it. Same deal with a lot of stuff, the last exemple i can remember is skyscale map currency: it would have made a lot more sence if it was 100 map currency for skyscale and 250 for vision, but once people had gotten the mount, even if a lot of people complained about the amount they couldn't change the number needed to not offend the ones that already did the farm. This will be a feature that is purely for convinience since it has no visual effects, but there are better ways to get that convinience. Legendary armor/weapons you can change the runes any time for free, its cheaper and has visual effects. The permenant extractor is cheaper and easier to use than that UI. I hope Anet realises this before it goes live or, i suspect, that it will be a highly underutilized system

Tyvm everyone, got all 3 in about 1 hour and a half xb Wasn't expecting it to be this fast

Hi, i never played during the festival of the four winds so i wanted to know if its possible to aquire 1200 festival tokens in order to buy the home instance nodes during a single festival. How do you get the tokens and how many can you get? Can i buy them from the TP like the zhaitaffy?

First, sorry if my english isn't perfect, hope you can understand my message none the lessI don't think the commuity will rage if they explain why something doesn't go ahead. Lets take for exemple aliances in WvW. Anet said that feature will come. People have been waiting for years. Wouldn't it be much better to be open about the development of the feature and if the times comes and its not a feasable thing they do a long talk with the community and explain why it won't be possible? Of course there will always be people raging, its the internet, but i doupt that if had shown the work they have been doing and they explain they reasoning for pulling the plug instead of hoping the community forgets about it, a lot of people wouldn't rage. I understand wanting to surprise the players but there are times where you could do surprises and times where you could be open and comunicative. Imagine a relationship where things are looking a bit grim, you would hide things in order to do a surprise and pray that the other person doesn't think the worst or would you be open and try to talk to resolve the issues? I know its just a game but try to do the surprises when people aren't worried about the future and be open and try to better the game when there are more doupts anyway, just my thoughts, you are entitled to a different opinion

Oh ok, never realised it looks different in females

What eye piece is that?

The reason i didn't respond to OP was because i was incredibly disapointed when the thread text didn't include an Are ya ready kids? In all serious now i don't think it belongs to anyone but try asking in the lore subforum, there are people there that know almost every detail of the game and stuff

I think you are a bit lost mate, Fallout is already at 76, i don't think Fallout 5 will affect GW2

Ok, somehow it being a retcon makes it way easier to understand xb although i always get a bit sad when writers forget about in game lore =/ Tyvm to both Kossage and Konig for the help in understanding a minor story issue

So if i understood correctly the steam creatures from grand high sovereign are the same end result as scarlet's but with a different origin story? like they are bound to be created, no matter the universe? Or since the creatures already exist in our timeline, the ghs just thinks he created them in the future? Sorry if i'm having trouble understanding, but fractals were always something i had trouble wraping my head around =/

So, after a few years of playing gw2 i finaly created my 1º asura and during one of the of the story lines (Split Second) we find out that our doppleganger from another reality created the steam creatures to conquer Tyria. I always thought that the creation of these machines was a mistery. Does this mean scarlet worked with the asura commander doppleganger in order to be able to control the steam creatures?

Seriously, if power DDs and DHs already survive in pugs today why on earth would that change to reaper make anything else different? If you die to MO ground damage you literally are a very bad player and should learn mechanics first. Same counts for VG greens and Gorse.Raids aren't there for easily brute forceing them - at least not for the usual raiding player base, speed run attempts/guilds are a different thing. The problem isn't dying, noone dies to that, the problem is you need to interrupt your rotation in order to wait for healing. you can't be healed in shroud and soul eater helped a lot with that. Imagine that a berserker couldn't be healed while in berserker stance, they would have to wait to be healed before entering, therefor messing their rotation

Problem is a lot of bosses have unavoidable damage in todays meta. VG green's, Gorse extended break bar, MO ground damage and so on. I just don't want to see a spec with its viability on the low end to became even lower =/
