Damage

- Start an Encounter while being on your second pet and then Swap to your Tiger to trigger to apply extra Fury to your Party.
Celestial Avatar

- has an insanely short (after-)cast time and should be used as often as possible between other skills. The condition clear is nice to clear some conditions your party might suffer. Another use for this skill is to blind mobs that have annoying CC skills (eg. kicking ghosts at Gorseval).
- your quick and fairly large heal. Also dazes so can be used to help break breakbars, CC adds and blasts combo-fields.
