What are the best support skills to use at 190. I can use 6 skills with natures touch being a must.
I was thinking:
Natures touch
Natures breath
Ice ward
Assassins ward
Bark
Sanctuary

Depends on your role...how many 180+ druids are normally on at a time in your clan? What about for 6* boss calls? If you're going to often be the primary healer for 5* bosses and one of 2-3 on 6*s it'll be a different set of skills compared to a druid that's always #3-5 and is only useful for saving dps group pots

I'm curious about this topic too. Let's say he would be THE main Druid, what skills would he use?

If he where to be the main druid he would max all the skills that cannot be casted twice on the same person such as bark , abundance, embrance , and wards if need be . All the other druids would get nt, breath and what ever else they think is needed (dps skills such as vines or bees should be an option for main druid as well)
Skills that all the druids should have is lightning strike , storm touch , natures toucb and natures breath as these skills you can spam and be small dps boost and a nice healer.

If you're the main druid you're specializing in healing, not in dps. Clearly nature touch is a must. Try getting touch boosting gear (mordy/200e braces, hrung helms, occult armor, etc). Same goes for nature breath. Typically you'd want at least a 3k+ heal and a 1.2k+ breath if you're often solo healing some bosses. Bark definitely needs to be maxed, abundance is nice but not necessary. The rest of the skills kinda comes down to personal preference and your role. Maybe keep a ward or two if you're specializing in a certain few bosses. Winds is very nice as well and pretty underrated, especially for bosses with lowish attack and tanks with high def. I've never used sanctuary but it may be useful for necro. Sorry if any info is outdated; I haven't logged my druid in over a year and it was always a dps anyways lol. This is just from what I've seen

I know that druids specialize in healing but they also do alot of damage over time which makes then pretty decent to use .
Btw a dps druid is no laughing matter when it comes to bossfights .
They not lock material but they can hurt the boss alot in the long run .

I know...I have 3 hrungnir kills under my belt and countless aggy/snorris lol. But if you have one druid at a boss fight, would you rather it have vines and swarm or 2 more support skills?

Sometimes...the hrungnir kills were all root kills I think (stopped playing druid over a year ago, and was in a #2 clan) so was only competing with mages and rangers. Aggy and snorri kills were unlured tho, against rogues

I find Touch, Breath, Bark, Embrace, Abundance, and Sanctuary (Or Lightning Strike) to be the best general purpose support skills.
Some people like having wards.. I personally don't. With the variety of bosses, there isn't a single Ward that generally used, so while some keep a Fire Ward skill I prefer the extra general support skill.
