Variants

Bountiful Hunter can be replaced by either of the other traits in its tier:

• Wellspring provides some additional healing power.
• Allies' Aid adds a lot to your supportive capabilities. You'll want a Pink Moa and Black Moa, swapping one for White Moa if you desire extra defense. This change is considerable if you want to play with a bigger support focus.

Usage

Elite specialization basics

• Rangers with the Druid specialization gain access to Celestial Avatar (CA) which uses a resource called Astral Force (AF).

• You build AF through dealing damage and healing allies. This build takes Eclipse which causes your damage to build AF even faster, and that will be your main way of generating it.

• Celestial Avatar skills are generally defensive and provide healing, but the 5th ability, Natural Convergence, can deal a surprising amount of damage as well.

• Celestial Avatar is also your primary way to burst. Grace of the Land causes each ability to grant might to nearby allies, yourself included, and its third skill Immobilizes and Dazes targets. With Fortifying Bond granting your pet any boons you receive, you can give your pet an extreme amount of might in a short time while also rooting and Slowing your target.

Basics

• The main gameplan of this build is to support your Feline pets with CC, boons and healing to allow their high damage abilities to shine. This is done through its various Command skills, weapon skills (notably Call of the Wild), Fortifying Bond, and Resounding Timbre. CCing any target will give you and your pet Quickness, which you should immediately copy to your pet with "Sic 'Em!". Spamming abilities while in Celestial Avatar (see: Grace of the Land) also provides Might for you and your pet very quickly.

• When a solid opportunity presents itself (e.g. a target is stunned, rooted, or snared some way, or you simply want to focus them), activate your pet's Beast ability. Landing it will trigger Go for the Throat, which you'll want to immediately follow up with "Sic 'Em!" for an 80% damage boost. This will cause your now very angry (and jacked) kitty to shred whatever you decided to point it at.

• You have a lot of healing power and supportive abilities. Stay evasive while making room for your pet to deal damage -- pepper opponents with dazes and stuns, but also hop in and out of Celestial Avatar to buff and heal your allies.

Sustain

• Rejuvenation gives you ~6s of Regeneration.

• Thistleguard (Mace 4) cleanses up to 3 conditions in addition to a huge barrier. It also gives a small amount of Stability to help you land other important abilities, and you can get additional stacks by immediately casting your heal skill "We Heal As One!"

• Flourish (Mace 2) provides some healing and Regeneration. Use it regularly.

• Celestial Avatar abilities all feature a healing element except for the 5th skill. You can stay in this form and spam Cosmic Ray and Seed of Life if the situation calls for it. Its 4th skill Rejuvenating Tides heals you and nearby allies, and also creates a water field you can use finishers into for some extra healing.

• Entering Celestial Avatar cleanses 3 conditions.

• Seed of Life (CA form 2) cleanses 2 conditions, and you can blast it with Lunar Impact to cleanse another.

• Evasive Purity makes your dodges cleanse a condition. Vigor comes from Invigorating Bond and Lightning Reflexes (if taken).

Defense

• You don't always have to save "Guard!" for a stunbreak. It's an excellent source of Protection.

• Oaken Cudgel (Mace 3) gives you 3s of Protection.

• Your pet's health is also important; without your pet, you do very little damage. Don't blindly send them into danger, and if they're getting focused call them back to your side to heal them or swap them for your other pet. You can also heal your pet with "We Heal As One!" and various Celestial Avatar abilities.
