Overview

Edit-Still testing and refining build

This build aims to generate astral force quickly by combining various methods from 0% from conditions, 0.75% from damage, 1.5% from healing and 2.25% from life steal.

The druid is a healer specialization which typically has low dps. They offer the group several damage bonuses and healing by simply gaining Celestial Avatar form when needed, however whilst in this form the druid deals insignificant damage and can't effectvily play dps without loosing focus on allies health bars.

To reiterate the role of healer and to avoid misconception that it's should contribute more as a dps role, these are some reasons why a dedicated healer build is needed until your allies has learnt to overcome these problems.

Inexperience of encounter and party weaknesses
Constant incoming damage that’s difficult to negate
Overwhelming sudden damage on allies
Frequent unfortunate accidents or unforeseen sudden events
VIP/high value objective low on health and has no healing skill ready to use.
