• Now that you are the only Druid, you have to use
  instead of
  . You should use it on the second Seeker spawn.
• You should go to Blue Guardian during the split and you need to save
  for the split. Check VG’s health so you don’t waste it just as he’s about to split. Use
  as soon as you engage Blue Guardian so your party will be on 25 stacks of Might instantly.
• As soon as the boonstrip happens, use
  and go into
  to stack might. Since you have more mobility as a healing Druid, you should weapon swap and use
  to quickly get to the tile that applies Blue buff during the split. Summon your Spirits in between VG and Blue Guardian during the first and second phase.



• If you have Condition classes, summon
  a bit closer to the Red Guardian, since it’s usually the slowest one during the split.
• If your DPS is high enough, you’ll have to outheal only 2 Green procs. Use
  on the first one, and
  and
  for the second one.
• Since you will weapon swap right away to summon Spirits and make them tick faster, you won’t be able to apply Weakness, so make sure that you use
  before your squad charges in.
• During the split, use
  at the start of it, otherwise you won’t have it back up once the whole squad gets back together.
• If you were in
  on Blue Guardian, save
  for the Green one, and let Dragonhunters heal up with F2 at the end of the split.
• Once second phase starts, wait until all of your dps classes are grouped up to go into CA. You can use
  / Stalker as a filler while you’re waiting.
• Repeat the same rotation for the Green procs, only in reverse order because you’re going into
  right before the first green procs.
• If your squad has slightly lower DPS, you should consider taking
  for the mid orb during the last phase, or let Holosmith use
  .
• Remember you can use Stalker’s F2 SKill -
  when you have no
  to top up Might.
• Save Black Moa for the Green Vale Guardian’s breakbar.
• If you’re outhealing Green AoEs then you need to manage your pets. Your pets will most likely take damage from the Green AoE, so remember to swap them so your pet doesn’t die.
• The same thing applies to your Spirits. Although it’s a lot less likely, it is possible if you put them far out of the stack. So try to summon them close to the tanking spot so you can occasionally heal them if needed.
• Remember to always move through the stack to the tank when using
  .

Soulbeast Condition

• Take
  and use it on the first seeker spawn, make sure to be in range to hit all 3 seekers.
• Make sure you are assigned to Red during the split phase.
• Make sure that you have
  as the Druid will be taking
  .

• The most imporant thing here is to remember to take Wyvern. Wyvern’s F2 Skill -
  can hit multiple times depending on hitbox size and positioning. At Gorseval it will hit 3 times, each tick causing 232 break bar damage.
• You should aim to deactive your Spirits ~12 seconds before the split phase. You can delay this if the Spirits are close to the first Ghost that you go to during the split. Once the 2^nd Ghost is at ~40% you should reuse your Spirits.
• You shouldn’t use
  on the 2^nd Ghost if the DPS classes are already preparing for their opening burst on the next phase.
• Keep your rotation up even during the splits. Don’t delay your
  , you should use it after Gorseval envelops himself and after killing the 1^st Ghost.
• You can use
  and
  on the 2^nd Ghost. Try to stay between the 2 Ghosts to maximize your DPS, but remember to stay within buff range of your subgroup.
• Move into the boss to heal the tank, staying with your subgroup on the opposite side of Gorseval won’t make you a popular person.
• IMPORTANT: Your only source of Fury is from
  so remember to swap pets after the boon strip so your Chronos can share it. This means you should start on Black Moa and swap to Wyvern to proc
  .
• If you have quick CC then you can always drop Black Moa for Tiger

Soulbeast Condition

• Relog to another DPS prof. Team comp.

• Optimal build for this encounter is Condition Druid, but if your group is getting cleaved too much/doesn’t have enough DPS, you should consider switching to healing Druid.
• Activate
  at the start of the fight, and if your DPS is high enough, you’ll be able to squeeze another one in as Sabetha is coming back from 25% split or slightly before.
• Biggest issue in this fight is
  generation, so if your squad is phasing the boss rather quickly, taking Stalker will end up being beneficial because overall pressure will be non existent until the last phase.
• Don’t waste
  , but if you need more ask your Warrior to step into Flak Shots so you can generate more.
• Don’t weapon swap until the split, because it will lower your mobility (if you have a/t) and won’t be able to get as many boons due to the fact that you’ll have to move out faster. Your
  generation will suffer as well.
• As a last resort, you can take Staff on weapon swap and use it during the split to charge
  up.


• If you decide to go Condi Druid, you will need another class to kite. This should ideally be done by a Soulbeast.
• You need Tiger here for the extra Fury, this is because your Mesmers should be running Domination/Illusions and therefore share less boons because they don’t have
  .
• Try to watch your party members that are doing cannons, as they will return with very low Might. Try to save either some Glyphs or
  so you can get them back to 25 stacks of Might quickly.

Soulbeast Condition

• Make use of
  if possible when targeted by bombs.
• Use
  to cover distance and possibly gain more quickness.
• When flanking make sure you don’t get her Flamewall pointing in the wrong direction.

• Don’t waste too much time or too many skills on the cannons. Apply enough conditions and let the conditions deal with them on your way back.

• Here you should play Shortbow/Shortbow and take
  instead of
  and
  instead of
  .
• Get within melee range while she does her Flamewall or right after the flack shot to get some boons, make sure to get distance quickly with
  .
• Use your stances and traps when you get in melee range so your party will gain the benefits of the stances.
• Make sure to kite on the side of the upcoming cannon spawn.
• Try to be the first target of the Bandit Sapper making you receive the special action skill to launch teammates.
• As kiter you should kick the Heavy Bombs.
• Make sure to be on shortbow when you are at range of the boss, adjust your rotation accordingly.

• If you’re a solo Druid, you should run Condition Nature Magic and take
  for
  uptime, and
  with
  or
  .
• If your Chronomancers are coordinated, you won’t need
  , but you’ll have to manage your pets properly.
• Precast
  and make your pet attack right away, so you can go into
  and pet swap(Fury) as your Chronomancer goes into
  .
• Your only source of Fury is coming from pet swap, so try to position yourself properly and cleave the Evolved Slublings. Don’t hesitate to interrupt them if you can predict Boon Corrupt.
• Given the fact that this is a fairly short fight which applies more pressure as the fight goes on, it is of extreme importance to delay
  until 60%, since you’ll be able to get it off only once during the fight, and
  uptime will end up being lower if DPS classes are not able to cleave. As a result, you’ll go into
  off cooldown, and you have freedom to camp it due to
  .


• If you double Druid due to the volume of CC required. You need to decide with the other Druid which one of you takes
  and which takes
  .
• As double Druid try not to waste your
  if your party already has 25 stacks of Might, of course use it if your party needs the healing.
• Might should not be a problem here, so you can run the classic Condi Druid build with Wilderness Survival instead of Nature Magic. Take;
  ,
  and
  .
• Keep an eye on Weakness after each CC phase as conditions are removed, otherwise your Weavers will not benefit from
  .
• Fury uptime will be a problem in the subgroup without the Warrior. This means that Druid will have to take Tiger, assuming you are both Condi. If you are playing Harriers/Healing Druid, you have access to Fury via
  and you should disregard the previous part.
• If you don’t have access to Black Moa then run Rock Gazelle.
• Try to be on Short Bow if you know that the CC phase is about to happen for the extra CC from
  .
• Use only 1 pet per CC phase and
  , as you will probably need both for the final break bar as your team will most likely have cooldowns.
• If you are lacking a stun break for the fear, then you can run
  (See GIF below). This should be a last resort though, as you will need to drop
  .
• Make sure to reactivate your Spirits after the initial summon, since you’ll be out of buff range once you reach the middle area.

Soulbeast Condition

• Relog to another DPS prof. Team comp.

• Open friend list, roleplay, enjoy life, question yourself, wonder why are you doing this, do it again next week, get depressed, forget about it, get happy, celebrate xmas, get some hoes, get drunk, fall asleep on the street, get mistaken for a homeless dude (not because you’re on the street, but because you’re a fucking dungeon dweller), get arrested, meet Jack, he’s been in prison 3 times already and it wasn’t his fault, it’s the system, get back home, finish trio, proceed to switch to GF Druid for Matthias and contemplate life existence once again.


• Otherwise:
• Take Axe Off-Hand instead of Short Bow for the extra cleave and Vulnerability generation. It is also useful for the extra pulls.
• If for some reason you are assigned to deal with the Saboteurs then take 1 CC pet (Black Moa) and Short Bow.
• If for some reason you are assigned to deal with the Mortars, take
  . Position yourself between the 2 far Mortars and use
  , you can then use your pet CC, Axe Skill 4 (
  ) and Short Bow 5 (
  ) on the 3^rd Mortar.

Soulbeast Condition

• Run around and do damage.

• First of all ask Soulbeast to take a
  .
• Take
  instead of
  , this will help with mobility.
• As Healer Druid you can even play in full Minstrels if you need the extra survivability.
• lines up almost perfectly with the Jump Attack. You need to use
  undernearth Matthias in order to block it.
• You should camp
  to remove Chill from your party members by using
  .
• You need to run
  and trait it with
  to help remove Chill from your party members.
• As you are taking 4 Spirits, there is no reason to run
  so you can take
  instead.
  will help guide your party members who get mechanics.
• IMPORTANT: Delay the use of
  until the storm phase(60%). This way you provide Stability to your group and they can move around freely.
• You will need to provide Fury via
  .

Soulbeast Condition

• Try to predict where the boss will walk towards before using
  and
  to ensure you hit all pulses.
• You can use
  as a gap closer and to cover distance.
• You can use
  to get away from your group if you are targeted by the mechanics.
• Normally you should go with
  but if condition cleanses are needed go for
  .
• Merge with Warthog over Lynx for CC.

• Save
  to stop the Wargs.
• You can take
  for the last boss to help with Condition cleanse.

Soulbeast Condition

• Replace
  by
  and run
  ,
  ,
  ,
  and
  .
• Use Lynx and Stalker as pets.
• Place your AoEs in front of the warg to make sure that if the Immobilize runs out you still get all the ticks of your pulsing AoEs.
• Gain as many boons as possible followed by
  to maximize your boon uptime. Keep in mind
  has a 5 second CD.

• You should play Heal Druid here as you will be solo, this allows for you to take an extra DPS class to make the burst phases a lot smoother.
• You will need to provide Fury via
  .
• Watch Keep Construct’s HP and don’t go into
  if he is about to phase. You will need to go into
  as soon as the burst phase begins so you can give your whole party 25 stacks of Might.
• Make sure that your pets are on "Passive" if you’re pushing the orbs.
• If you’re doing 1 orb , your job is not to push the orbs as the Mesmers will cover that.
• If you’re doing mid strategy, then you should deactive your Spirits once the Illusions start attacking you.
• If you’re tanking Keep Construct on the side, deactive your Spirits once the 2^nd Illusion gets into melee range.
• With permanent Alacrity, you should be able to have
  up for every burn phase, given the fact that you instantly deactivate as the burn phase is about to end. If you’re lacking some, use it for the 1st and 3rd phase.
• Consider taking
  if your DPS professions have low
  uptime.

Soulbeast Condition

• Relog to another DPS prof. Team comp.

• If you play Condition Druid:
• If Weavers are blasting you can take Jacaranda, otherwise try to sync up pet swap with Chronomancer’s
  .
• Use Spirits on the 1st island and deactivate them right away. Use glyphs if you have any.
• Go into
  on the 2nd island and activate-deactivate Spirits right away.
• Once you’re on the main platform, use all of your Spirits, including
  .
• This part of the fight is slightly tricky, because if you have multiple
  classes taking
  ,
  , and
  would be optimal. Unfortunately, you can easily get double AoE damaging fields from White Mantle Battle Mage, and that can easily snowball into multiple members going into downstate. This is where
  kicks in, since it’s an additional damage multiplier for Weavers and it prevents this situation from happening.
• Once Xera phases, deactivate all the Spirits (
  should be already on cooldown if you want to have it up for the 2nd phase).
• If your Chronomancers are sharing Alacrity during the Shard phase, you will get
  back up around ~40% (or even at the start of the phase if multiple members don’t have a gliding bug).


• If you play Heal Druid:
• Remember to use and insta deactivate your Spirits on the 2^nd platform.
• You will need to provide Fury via
  .
• If the adds are pulled in, you can Blind them with
  .
• If you are doing mid strategy then you can summon your Spirits in the middle.
• If you are pulling Xera to the side, then summon your Spirits between the 2 spots. Just ask the tank previously, so you know where to place them.
• Remember as solo Druid you always need to take the portal back to the main platform in the 2^nd phase.
• Feel free to camp
  during the 40% & 20% splits if extra healing is needed. Remember you can use Wyvern to CC the adds.

Soulbeast Condition

• Relog to another DPS prof. Team comp.

• You will need to provide Fury via
  and Red Moa. Open with Red Moa for Fury, and camp Jacaranda.
• Cast
  (at 7:06 remaining based on the boss timer).
• As you are taking 5 Spirits, there is no reason to run
  so you can take
  instead.
• on kiters, but be careful not to cover the rest of the squad with it, since someone else might get prioritized (depending on the squad setup).
• Due to heavy movement of this boss and constant
  camping, your pet will most likely have higher DPS than you, use Jacaranda for “high” numbers.
• If your party has high DPS and you are going to skip Greens, then delay the use of
  until the 3^rd Green . This way you provide Stability to your group and they can move around unhindered.

Soulbeast Condition

• You can use
  as a gap closer after green AoEs.
• DPS GOLEM, MAKE RANGER PROUD

• Ask Soulbeast to take
  , because your healing skill is the only source of
  once
  goes down.
• Open with Red Moa for Fury, and camp Jacaranda.
• You have limited
  generation, so pay attention to Chronomancer’s wells, because they’re your biggest enemy.
• If you don’t find yourself
  starved, activate
  around 60-70% left.

Soulbeast Condition

• DPS GOLEM, MAKE RANGER PROUD

• Here you should run double Druid due to the volume of CC required. You need to decide with the other Druid which one of you takes
  and which takes
  .
• Try to be on Short Bow if you know that the CC phase is about to happen for the extra CC from
  .
• If you are still struggling with CC, then you can go into
  and use
  .
• Don’t go into
  if there is only 3-4% left before the CC phase. This is because you will waste
  and won’t have it up to buff your DPS classes after the CC phase when they restart their bursts.
• Might should not be a problem here, so you can run the classic Condi Druid build with Wilderness Survival instead of Nature Magic. Take;
  ,
  and
  .
• Remember to deactive your Spirits 5-6% before the split phases at 66% and 33%. If you want, you can deactive them at 70% during the CC phase.
• You can take
  here if you are struggling to keep Rigom underneath Samarog during the split phases.
• Remember that
  also gives Immobilize if you are flanking.

Soulbeast Condition

• Relog to another DPS prof. Team comp.

• Try to sync up pet swap with Chronomancer’s
  /
  or take Tiger.
• Play Staff on weapon swap due to high pressure later on in the fight.
• If your squad has decent DPS, you’ll get only 1
  off during the fight, so use it once you come back from the 50% split because you’ll skip 25%.
• If there are multiple tears stacking up, swap to staff and try to mitigate as much damage as possible (especially during the Signet).
• Camp
  if needed to keep the
  up during Signet burst.
• Don’t forget to put pet on passive mode whenever you come back from the split or make it attack the boss, because Saul will most likely aggro on your pet.
• Deactive your Spirits 7-8% before each split phase, or slightly later if your DPS is suffering.
• During the 75% port, you should use and then instantly deactivate your Spirits.
• For the 50% port, you should use your Spirits and then wait for Saul to merge again after splitting. Soon as he merges, you should deactivate your Spirits.
• Most groups now skip the 25% port, so there is no need to deactivate your Spirits. If you do still take the 25% port, then you should use and then instantly deactivate your Spirits.

Soulbeast Condition

• Keep in mind that you can use
  from the side to Immobilize Pride that goes to deimos.
