Does anyone find PvP balance difficult specifically playing the druid class when battling similar levels at 110+? It seems that I'm losing more and more frequently the more I fight players close to my level. I may need to buy 10 rebirths and pray I find an answer, but I consistently lose to most rangers with a crystal bow (interruptions) or any fast casting weapons. In addition I'm starting to see that warriors are very powerful against a druid, as I struggle on the majority that I fight, so long as they're within 20 or so levels. Mages seem to be pretty spot on in terms of equality vs. the druid. Is anyone else struggling in PvP, or am I just singling myself out as having a really bad PvP build?

Yeah pvp being player vs player, Druids are defenitly lackluster. That said pvp being party vs party, Druids melt faces.

Go try to take the arena from elite in Mabon heheh.

The major issue for all Druids in PvP is Evasion Abilities.

The fact is, when yer main role is to heal, you dont level up yer evasion except when yer soloing. And so many of us have build dedicated to support, so when would we solo?

It's a cache 22, and personally to cover it I think that the Embrace should be put back to PvE level for Druids, or lol just somehow let a solo Druid gain evasion abilities a tiny bit faster than other solo classes... Because holy crap my lvl 50 ranger friend has a higher warding than my 101 Druid. And he plays much less.

Exactly, Tea. Druids certainly level the new abilities slowly.

Ideally, I would like to see OTM do one of two things. Either allow Druids to level these abilities faster, or allow abilities to raise while grouped. So if I am grouped with a Warrior, I think a Druid's ability should raise one point for every two that the Warrior goes up.

As the game stands now, I have found that the OW Eyes are good for raising all of the abilities. It may be considered a waste of time, but I sometimes just run like a fool through the red, blue and green eye areas. I have leveled my abilities quickly doing this. (not fighting at all... just running around taking hits). If you have a few plat to spare (or can buy with gold from someone) there is an elixir that raises abilities by 4 times. Taking this and running around for 15 mins has done me well.

just a note, being a lv 117 solo druid, my lighting strike damage is about 420 on oak trees, strangling vines is about 230 per tick, natures touch is 872 and embrace is 114 per tick. My Warding is about 560 and Fortitude is abt 830. With the correct set up, gear and rings (I have 1 fable lighting, 4 glass touch, 1 crystal vines) A druid can be both punishing and still supporting class.

Haha I have been doing the same, but still its hard!

For my opnion all high lvls needed a fix with de ability update, but its true supporting classes are having the hardest time lvling them up.

I quit playing my druid actually and today another clan member stopped playing at lvl 126.

Im not quite sure why everybody is moaning about pvp. Druids are for support in bosses and harder mobs. PvP does not change anything in the game. its just a bit of fun and a laugh and gives you two extra words on your IG profile. Although, i really dont understand why embrace gets lowered!! mine does 103 per tick which is nothing compared to a ranger who hits constant 300's on me.

Fully noted Morph... I'm not saying building a solid Hybrid build isn't possible, it is. You can solo as a Druid. I just think that especially for group oriented bosses that AoE (when the tank loses aggro, dies or the mob spins outta control and you Natural powerful Nature's Breath) a group oriented Druid with high healing, a specific ward set up and auras is quite special. Many of us have taken the hard choice of sorting our Grand Rings to whatever task we are about to face.

I am rocking a hybrid driuid now and I enjoy it much more to play, but I must admit I am not by any means as potent a group healer as various other Druids, and thats fine. I mean hard choices are hard choices. But yer point is noted.

Druid PvP is awesome! I'm the only rainwalker so far that ive known of...lol I spam heal and vine them all the time. I have a good system it's not that hard for me...but evasion is a pain hate it. My abilities are fairly simple just basic all vit and focus, str and dex is 5. I'm actually scared to change my stats atm though lol.
