GW2. WvW Build. Ancient Seeds Druid Roaming Build. Druid. Ranger World vs World 2023.
Last Update: Feb 2023
Overview
Druid has one of the best condition cleanses in the game, and along with plenty of stealth uptime from trapper rune this build can be very slippery. The use of many dazes and immobilizes allows you to single out and incapacitate an enemy while loading them up with conditions. It can also help allies and defend objectives because of its ability to heal using Celestial Avatar form and healing power.
Synergy
Any damage dealt to CC’d targets will immobilize them, making them susceptible to the traps you can drop under them. It is also easier to land other abilities that will further immobilize them.
Playstyle
Use Concussion Shot Shortbow 5 to CC for Ancient Seeds on your target, then drop a Flame Trap underneath them and Poison Volley Shortbow 2 in melee range. Another method of getting ancient seeds to trigger is in Celestial Avatar form, using Lunar Impact CA 3 and then using Natural Convergence CA 5 next to them while they are dazed, or using Lunar Impact from range and then leaving CA to hit with a long range staff or shortbow attack to trigger Ancient Seeds.
Use staff to kite and survive in between your trap and immobilize combos. Use blasts from Lunar Impact and Ancestral Grace for great sustain combos in your Healing Spring or Staff 5 water field, or use them in the Smokescale F2 for even more stealth. Iboga pull is nasty and overpowered to setup big combos.
Always use Seed of Life to abuse the blind, this skill can be used anytime even during another animation or stuned, same as Pet Swap for stability to avoid CC chains.
