Druids shouldnt hit stuff They should heal, hence u shouldnt need a dot proc

And druids should just stand around or run around doing nothing when they are out of mana

They should try to rest and gain mana. Time wasted hitting 2 poeple for 30 damage could be enough time to sit on ya ass and get enough mana for a 600hp heal on someone who can do alot more damage

And with MCL, mana potions u shouldnt run out of mana that often

You can get ablative charges or ablative reactives.

Best bet is to go for 6x ablative reactives. Called... Reactive Ablative Arcanium Armour Tinctures.
Might also be worth sticking one on your shield aswell, for the small chance that it might go off. \



/edit. Take a look here for a full list of alchemy procs, charges, reactives etc. and their effects.

ahh, now i get it

Thought ablativ was just a word for all of em.

Silly me, /slap

Does all buffs from charges/reactives stack with regular buffs?

Druids should sure as hell hit stuff, if are chain-interrupted its pretty usefull to hit hit a healer or cleric or whatever. Or when the group is at full health or smth, just interrupt someone and get back behind a twee...

hitting > not doing anything while being interrupted

Not a good idea. Against any half decent grp with defensive tank you will find yourself slammed when you go to interupt someone.
I did this once, got slammed, then people started to go down, couldn't heal for 9 secs. By time i was free again 3 people were dead.
I learnt from my mistake, stay behind the tree imo.



/edit

Oh, and if you're being chain interupted it's far better to attempt to move out of range of the interupt so you can start using your 600hp+ heals again than to start hitting people, even if you are interupting one of their healers. If you're really that desperate to interupt someone instead of healing then spam root on them imo.

well im not a druid so i dont know - leveling one now so ill find out

still, i rather have a proc on my weap than not

 

[Spamb0t]

dot or dd reactive on shield.
very annoying for archers as it interupts them (me.)
and even druids(or any kind of shielduser) block quite a bit vs archers.


just dont tell the mids and albs please :O

 

[Legolias]

Not everyone has unlimited cash to spend on power pots.. also, some fights, especially when you're the only healer in group, you'll run out of mana very fast even with MCL and/or Raging power.

And no I'm not gonna just stand around or even sit to rest... soz mate I don't know what game you play but in RvR in this game you will not be able to rest for mana during RvR fights.

I rather interrupt the enemy's casters/healers or try to get some rare healer killspams then sit/stand around doing nothing. The Druid damage add + a 99 % lv 51 weap with dot proc will actually damage ppl a bit more then just 30 damage a pop.



<edit> oh and in case you were wondering, my very first char & oldest char is a druid, with 110 days /played and RR6L5 or something. She's on US server Kay.

I'd probably go for dd over dot. If a tank hits your shield and the dot goes off, the other druid in grp now can't root him off you, or the bard can't mez him (if he's not already mez immune).


Legolias: Mana pots aren't that expensive. And it only costs about 1p to skill up to being able to make them yourself. (currently got my bard alt at 63x, almost there and only spent about 600g i think). With raging power, mcl2 and full backpack of mana pots. I find if i do run out of mana healing then the grp is getting hurt so fast that most of them will be dead in the time it takes me to run over to a healer anyway. (this is as only druid in grp).

Vodkafairy: I will probably be putting a proc on my sword eventually, as there are very rare occasions when i do actually hit people. (example:- only one tank left from the enemy grp and he's hitting me, might aswell hit back then, though with my very low wep skill i run the risk of letting him get off a lot of reactive styles). Seems a waste to put a charge on a weapon/shield/bit of armour you will have equipped at all times, crafting a low level bastard sword at 100% and sticking an af charge on that would be best. Then keep it in your 2h slot, will stick on your back and you can pretend to be a LW hero.

Ye exactely

Or run to a healer and hit that till the tank buggers off.

 

[drummer]

What to get as a Bard then?

 

[VodkaFairy]

full ablative aswell

I put af on my wreath which seems to work ok, but rest is all AA...

DD on weapon, nothing on shield yet :x

 

[drummer]

ok xD

 

[err0r]

Utter lies, melee for teh win! (C) Ufrot & Motorhead

 

[err0r]

So what if someone dies while you melee? You might get a deathmessage and what's best, you get more RP if you need to rez someone!
