I take both ele and ranger into fractals . Ranger was really good back when it was the old 4 necro 1 druid meta since you were there to heal the minions and the necros could take care of themselves . It meant you could easily recharge CA form . I find ele is easier now during pug runs now since everybody has a tendency to scatter or just move about randomly like headless chickens . Seems to be irrespective of the fractal tier level and Social Awkwardness . This is in stark contrast to , say Gorseval , where everybody stacks neatly underneath Gorse ' s butt while the tank is in front . I ' d be lucky to catch 2 players when in Celestial Avatar form during a PUG fractal run meaning GOTL is a very minor buff , whereas nobody can escape Soothing Mist . Ele will provide offensive buff support by stacking vulnerability , even if you only camp water staff # 2 or dagger # 1 , you will provide at least 1015 stacks permanently . If you overload air then you will also provide Static Charge every second overload . As for gear , I also have zerk gear with infusions so I swap trinkets in and out according to how much heal is required . With 1438 healing power , Soothing Mist 10 s is 4476 heal . This is the base value so multiply by whatever factors such as Sigil of Transference . DPS is pants though .
