Re: What is the best build for druid dps?

If you do alot of str for a totem druid it won't have good damage because the focus skills suffer too much. I guess probably people who say damage is bad put all points in str like for a ranger. Druid has bad auto dmg but the skills make up for it, together dps is good. My dps druids were easier to lix than mage or ranger. Druid is really tanky especially if you take a shield. You can hardly solo lix with a focus build with a druid, it is just a massive pain. Also the running out of energy is a problem that is a result of the way you build your druid. I can easily kill the gladiator without consumables and without running out of energy.
Bees I just think is better because if you play with totem, all the casting time and wasted time of interrupts is lost auto dmg already. Bees is quick to cast and almost never gets interrupted. And sometimes you can even cast it on multiple mobs at the same time. I prefer to keep lixing simple. For the same reason I wouldn't use longshot for lixing on a ranger. It is a hassle that isn't worth it.
My 186 druid stats:
STR 355
DEX 165
FOC 1125
VIT 460
ATK 4489
DMG 1695
DEF 530
My dex and str is all from gear. Double attack does about as much dmg as strike and even more with food. I think this is the best build because there is no alternative. There is no way to get more dmg from a druid other than use a totem. Equiping more focus doesnt cut it, all focus gear will give about 20 percent more dmg on 3 skills. While with totem you have one extra skill that you can cast all the time when ready, plus auto attack that you can haste for lixing. With focus build half the time you are only waiting for cooldown while taking damage. Like a mage without fire bolt, is it painful to play and dps sucks.
