Yerlock.4678 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Support getting buffs, condi druid getting more love, even spirits getting reworked to be more playable in pvp. Along with sword reworks. Spirit of nature could be better for rezzing, Celestial Avatar looking more viable, more baseline might so just more dps. Granted Ancient Seeds is getting reworked and removed (thank god) but imob spam and cc will still be oppressive and strong. What are the ranger mains thinking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morwath.9817 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Hard to say without actual numbers, but personaly I'm really excited about patch preview. Edited June 11, 2023 by Morwath.9817 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidrex.5649 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 sword rework looks dank, condi ranger with sword/dagger + sb could be hella fun. assuming condition based builds are even remotely usable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downstate.4697 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 It will be good for ranked. Not sure about competitive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie.9143 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Yeah cata and ranger win the patch big time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazsi.2734 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 We all know ele needed some buffs(after all getting addicted to buffs every patch, we don't want them to go through withdrawal)... and the other big winner seems to be ranger this patch. Unless I am losing my touch with this game, druid will be especially better in all roles compared to current patch. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoWantsAHug.3186 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Support druid will for sure be very strong in ranked. However, it will still suffer from getting focused as it doesn't really have any panic buttons and its easily CC chained to death. I don't see it being mAT viable, but we will have to wait and see. The healing throughput looks pretty insane and team utility with alacrity and frequent stealth access will be great. Condi druid looks semi promising as bruiser support hybrid with sages ammy. Glyph of the Stars is such a strong skill and having it on a viable dps spec would be awesome. Same goes for power druid, which will probably be taking the alacrity grandmaster.

Avatar.3568 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) As far as i Like the Idea of Support Druid, one of the Major Problems for Druid is the small range, buffing Other stuff is pretty cool, but in ranked With uncoordinated Players its Very hard to heal someone and even With comms it still in super Close range. Tempest and guard has almost Double the healing range. But IT might be able to be some kinda Back Up support Edited June 12, 2023 by Avatar.3568 German autocorrection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to see how it plays out with cosmic ray getting 240 radius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie.9143 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Gonna have rabid undead condi druids running around condo bombing everything and healing around terrain, gonna be a nightmare if they can do lots of damage without needing to root/jacaranda/maul/black hole.

Tempest and guard has almost Double the healing range. But IT might be able to be some kinda Back Up support This is false. Staff 2 has 1200 range, heals for a little over 2k and it's aoe. Staff 3 really easy to hit because of its fast animation, also 1200 range. Celestial avatar skills and glyph of stars have large radius and are 1200 range. Glyph heal, which heals allys for 8000 in avatar form, is super easy to land because of druids extreme mobility(if you dont take mh sword, youre trolling). The only obnoxious heal to land is Invigorating Bond because it heals at the end of the beast skill animation. It should heal at the beginning of the animation or preferably reworked to activate on pet swap. Having to time your beast skill with the aoe heal is clunky and frustrating gameplay, particularly with offensive pets, such as smokescale and Jacaranda. I want to use my smoke field to stealth, not to heal an ally. Support druid does three things better than any other support and thats healing throughput, mobility, and stealth access. I'm not counting specter because it's dog tier Edited June 12, 2023 by WhoWantsAHug.3186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
