Usage
General
- Cast just before the match begins in oder to grant Swiftness to allies via.
- Keep distance in teamfights whenever possible, but in smaller fights (1v1 and 2v2) you should be able to stay on point.
- Use Survival skills to cleanse condition, each of them removes 2 conditions. Use the avatar and Signet of Renewal for mass cleansing.
- Entering removes all conditions and breaks stun. Leaving the transform grants stealth and superspeed, making it easier to disengage. The stealth is AoE, you can cloak downed allies with it.
- Move in to heal up allies in Celeastial Avatar form when necessary or cleave foes with skill #5, then disengage.
- can also be used defensively, the stability combined withform is great for getting heals off even while being focused.
- can't transform unblockable projectiles.
Pet Swapping
- Swapping between pets grants, Fury, Quickness, and superspeed while also cleansing conditions.
- Swapping cancels on your pet.
This build is decent. Sure it has the tools to heal, remove condi, stealth etc. But what it doesn't have is any 'relevant damage'. You aren't killing Scourges with this build. And you aren't a threat.
With the amount of condi that is being thrown around in matches, the condi clear isn't enough.
The last person to say this build was Great was back in June of 2017...that was 7 months ago. Come back to reality of new Specs.
