Chrono is way better than Firebrand at the moment. The only thing chrono struggles with is giving boons when the fight is splitted a lot (if adds disappear/can't be targeted). But then again you overstack your boon really easily. Mesmer utility is far superior to guard utility and quickness application on firebrand (mainly the mantra) is really bad.

@ yeah people are saying firebrand needs a buff. That’s what I play for fractals. I’m still a noob lol

Even in fractals chrono outshines firebrand. Although you can't prestack very well.

@@SiEO0702 the arrow kiters can position themselves, that they don't stand in green orbs. Since the green orbs are spawning from the conduits and the arrows shouldn't hit a conduit, that shouldn't be a problem with proper positioning

Apparently, I pressed it too early, so I was immune to being stealthed. If you wait until you reach the ground, you get the stealth. That's the intended use of the skill.

@@icata12345 in the Video, it's done by the heal scourge. Although with this positioning there should be more viable options like chrono for example

You are right that I could use my heal skill more often, but keep in mind that in some situation you actually want to keep it for the healing. I did use F4 to provide stability at 1:07. Since it's CM we can't skip more than one green.

@@bulldog6053 for raids and fractal i'd play harrier's or giver's (depending wheter i am Tank or not). Usually I am just lazy and play giver's everywhere, even If there is no toughness tanking. For this fight specific I went minstrel's because the benefit is, that you get more health and healing power over giver's but sacrifice boon duration and toughness. Running minstrel's in fractals and raids should be completely fine, however i prefer to get 100% boon duration in both contents. So overall you can say: minstrel's is better for survivability, giver's and harrier's are better for boons.

@@ValfynGaming Thank you very much for the information!

Thanks! If there are any questions regarding build or gameplay, feel free to ask!

Thanks! I'll try to upload more videos to showcase the build more.

Thanks a lot for that. I don’t have Soto yet so, no rifle rn. I’m currently running scepter+shield, and trying to go mainly Minstrel. Would you say it’s viable once I have full ascended minstrel (3 so far-not counting trinkets), or should I get the expac for the rifle chrono heal build too ?

It's the design of the Boss. We are not abusing a Bug or anything in case you were wondering :D The concept of this fight got some chess-elements to it. The boss itself only got a damaging aura pulsing. Every other mechanic in this fight happens in the arena (statues, spikes you need to avoid, blue tiles you need to stand in). Executed correctly, the fight becomes very easy and the boss just turns into a dps race.

@@ValfynGaming Understandable, have a nice day!

Thanks for your feedback :) That's a valid question and some valid points your raid lead has. Moa is probably the go-to in this fight and I do take it sometimes, maybe I forgot to swap it. However, there are some things to consider: 1. I do not take para sigil as a boon dps. You could definitely take it, but since I do not, the difference is only 50 CC, which is neglectable imo. 2. Instant vs slow: That's only important for the smaller Breakbar in Phase 3 after the shockwave, which we only get one of. For the huge breakbars at 90, 70, and 30% gravity well got plenty of time to tick all 3 times. For the small breakbar, I am used to cast the SAK and then Moa isn't needed. However, you could cast Moa instead and keep your SAK for 25% more damage. 3. You could cast Gravity Well outside of Breakbars (and in CS) e.g. in the opener to increase your damage. I didn't do this in the video but should have. However, if you do this, you need to make sure it's up for the breakbars again. All in all, I lost 150 CC taking gravitiy well over Moa.

That's a really big question. :D First of all: You can heal more than 5 people at a time due to healing priority. All of my skills are target capped at a maximum of 5 targets, that's not different from other classes. Therefore, my subgroup gets prioritized with my healing: If players in my sub are low, they will receive the healing. However, if they are full life, any other player that stands inside my ability will get the healing (up to the maximum target of said skill). No, druid is not the only class that can solo heal an entire (10 man) squad. Although it is easier with some classes than others. Heal Mechanist for example can do the job quite good, also because it can stack a lot of barrier on his subgroup, which helps because they are more often full life and therefore they actual healing will prioritize the second group. Heal Herold should also be able to do the trick. From my experience (as in: I saw people try solo heal on some classes), heal tempest and heal firebrand are not that great for that purpose. It also depends highly a) the boss you are trying to outheal and b) on your squad. A) Different bosses got a different amount of damage pressure, which means the incomming damage. Sabir is on the higher side of that end, which means it's harder to solo heal. B) If your group basically facetanks every damaging AoE they can, you can be the best healer in the game and probably fail to solo heal. Also, your group can make it easier by playing certain classes, e. g. the quick herold in the other sub provides permanent protection and regeneration to their sub, which makes solo healing a lot easier. Also, they help by playing ventari and blocking the projectiles from the adds sub 40%. As you can see, there are a lot of things to consider. If there are any more questions to one of the topics I mentioned, go ahead and ask them. I shortened some things to make the answer not too detailed/long, but I can go into more detail if you want to.

Depending on what you are looking for, but overall I'd say yes. The Alac is a bit tight without a Herald but totally manageable. It also brings a lot of might (13 permanent, about 16 average), CC and healing/barrier. So it's perfect if you want some safety net when running only one healer for example. It's also quite easy to play. DPS-wise it's on the lower end of the alac support spectrum, but since it brings a lot more than alac to the table this is justified.

Probably the sc build of condi willbender, but I don't know them so i can't ask them.

Thank you! Druid is really strong at the moment. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask and have fun learning druid :)

I was using full givers gear, but if you are experienced enough, you can tank xera with only a bit of toughness. Minstrel is also completely fine, however, you are losing some boon duration by running minstrels. The same goes for celestial. And yes, this build is still completely fine. It got a bit nerfed since then but it's still in a good spot.

The first 5 skills (left of the health bar) are based on your current weapons. The skills on the right are free to choose.

This will not work as Power Virtuoso, at least not with some major changes to the SC Build. Your sustain comes mainly from the trait Jagged Mind, which converts 3% of your condition damage into healing. First of all, you do not run this trait on power and second it scales with the condition damage you do, therefore the healing will be minimal on a power build.

@@ValfynGaming i see, ty!

Yes, it has to bei CM.

Thank you :) I feel like raids got a lot easier to access with EoD and the latest balance changes. Also with the upcomming steam release, there will be some new players if you want to give it another try.

tbh i don't think there was much thought behind that decision. Mace AA might be better since it got a faster cast time (0.5, 0.5, 0.75) than elixier gun (0.75). But since there is a internal CD on the orb where it can't be pushed again that might not make a difference. So the only difference might be ranged vs. meele push which i find ranged to be more convenient since you can control the angle of the push more easily.

@@ValfynGaming Okay makes sense, thanks. If you happen to go melee I think the mortar kit is actually best bc it has the shortest cooldown (0.5 without travel time of rockets) but idk. I will try both

Well condi mech got a little bit nerfed but dps at sh should still be quite high. I can check it out next monday and maybe upload the run, if it's not too messy :D

How does your burst rotation look like then?

@@ValfynGaming big ol bomb -> bomb 2 - > nade 2 -> forge 3 -> forge 4 -> laser disk -> laser elite -> autos -> forge 3 just before overheat -> (forge 3->overheat) -> grenade barrage -> rifle 5 -> rifle 3 -> rifle 4 -> nade 2 -> nade 5 -> nade 4 -> pray phase ends soon. if the phase ends before this rota then you need to do 75 heat but this should be a solid 15~ second burst

Okay, i'll look into it. Thanks for the advice :)

Or: how to greed and die due to taking too much time for the last orb
