Pet Swapping - with Nature Magic & Beastmastery:

• Swapping between pets grants Might, Fury, Swiftness and ~3 seconds of Quickness. If you wish to double up on these boons, start casting "We Heal As One!" and swap mid-cast - the boons will last even longer on your pets and ultimately end up getting more stacks too due to Nature Magic's Fortifying Bond.
• The Quickness can be used for rezzing, stomping, or getting off more skill in Celestial Avatar.
• If you are using Nature Magic, try not to swap while reviving allies - it'll cancel
  . Do it before you rez.
• Swapping cancels your elite skill on your pet.
