Hello again, this is the second chapter of my Dryad builds, this time 100% life leech-free.
Previous episode :
I tweak another build with my new favourite devotion trio, the spam Stun Jacks purifier, another build relying on skills with no leech or %weapon damage whatsoever.
Compared to the druid, it has half less CDR but it’s a lot tankier : we have high armour and a hardcapped Inquisitor Seal in which we comfortably facetank nearly everything. However it’s a lot less bugdet.
The helmet is craftable, take %armour or increased healing.
Rings
Quickening Gems for more cast speed, stun res, and to save the modest amount of 4 skill points.
Boots
Some good Stoneplates to better cap the resistances.
Spellsage Boots for trap and disruption res.
Performance
Very reliable for farming SR75-76. The build could afford a moderate attribute dump in spirit.
The Afflicted mutator is pretty bad, it decreases our healing by ~10%.
Untested in high SR or crucible.
Somehow I missed your build during my searches, I’m adding it to the links !
But yes, Dryad is a reliable but slow/weak heal, it works on my build because of the extreme tankiness I get via Seal + Censure, meanwhile an elementalist remains a glass cannon with no mean of damage mitigation, Dryad is overwhelmed.
Its just way outperformed by everything else around it, it just needs beefed up and/or cooldown cut in half at minimum, Spending 5pts for a return of 3 on a T1 devo with 3.2sec CD is just not ever going to be used.
