Detailed Explanations

Spirit of Nature

• Spirit of Nature rezzes up to 3 allies in its radius 0.5 seconds after the initial cast finishes and the spirit slams down
  • Nature's Vengeance will retrigger the slam and rez 0.5 seconds after the first cast finishes
• Watch for low allied health bars to enable precasting (Using the skill before an ally is downed so that it finishes casting on them as soon as they do go down)
• If you don't have Quickness proc Quick Draw if it is avalible before starting the Spirit of Nature cast
• If your group is using voice comms it is helpful to communicate that you are casting a rez so that nobody else overlaps your cast and wastes a cooldown
• If you need to cancel Spirit of Nature during the cast you can use a Stow Weapon keybind or Escape
  • You should cancel the cast if someone else will land a rez first or the rez is no longer needed

Boon Strip

• You have three sources of boon strip:
  • Unleashed Ambush skills via Corrupting Vines
  • Exploding Spores
  • Rending Vines on your Unleashed pets
• Whenever possible combine your boon strip with your groups pushes and spikes such as Well of Corruption
• Both your Unleashed Ambush skills Solar Brilliance and Rampant Growth hit multiple times and can strip boons once on each enemy player hit
  • You have two ways to activate your Unleashed Ambush - Unleashed Power and Let Loose
    • Proccing Let Loose resets the cooldown on Unleashed Power
    • Using the proc from Unleashed Power requires being in Unleash Pet form then swapping to Unleash Ranger form
• Since using an Unleashed Ambush from Let Loose resets the cooldown on Unleashed Power ideally you should wait 15s between each Weapon Swap for Unleashed Power to activate then use:

1. Unleash Ranger - Unleashed Power
2. Solar Brilliance/Rampant Growth
3. Weapon Swap - (Let Loose)
4. Solar Brilliance/Rampant Growth
5. Unleash Pet

• While waiting for Unleashed Power will get the most overall strips don't hesitate to Weapon Swap early if your group is spiking to land your strips right away
  • Remember that you must Unleash Ranger to use your Unleashed Ambush
• Combine Exploding Spores with your Unleashed Ambush when possible and also use it whenever your group is spiking
  • Make sure you account for the delay on Exploding Spores when using it
• You want to use Rending Vines as often as possible when it can be combined with your groups pushes or spikes. Use the following skill order:

1. Defy Pain - If available
2. Unleash Pet
3. Venomous Outburst
4. Rending Vines
5. Enveloping Haze
6. Return your pet (default bind ctrl+2)

• Save your Pet Swap to land Rending Vines, don't use it until you need to

Healing/Condition Clear

Healing Skill List

Staff

• Solar Beam
• Astral Wisp
• Ancestral Grace - Relic of Karakosa
• Solar Brilliance

Mace/Warhorn

• Flourish
• Oaken Cudgel - Relic of Karakosa
• Call of the Wild - Relic of Karakosa
• Rampant Growth

• Most of your healing comes from using Blast Finishers to proc Relic of Karakosa
  • Healing Spring and Sublime Conversion both create Water fields you can Blast for extra healing
    • Use your blasts on your own Water fields when possible, but don't delay your healing just to do so

List of Blast Skills

• Ancestral Grace
• Oaken Cudgel
• Call of the Wild
• Frost Spirit

Weapons

• Target allies for Solar Beam + Astral Wisp
  • Keybinding call/take personal target can be useful to easily target an ally
  • Your commander is typically a good target for these skills
• Sublime Conversion has no target cap for allies, use it to give your entire group Regeneration
• Be careful with the forced movement from Oaken Cudgel
  • Aim to the side instead of towards the enemy group
• You can mostly ignore Nature's Strength. If you happen to stack it to 5 then use the free Flourish cast

Cleansing

Cleansing Skill List

• Healing Spring
• Frost Spirit
• Vine Surge - for Immobilize
• Shake It Off

• Frost Spirit should be your highest priority cleanse skill due to the Resistance output as well as Nature's Vengeance
• Healing Spring should be dropped when clashing with the enemy or preemptively before an enemy spike
  • Healing Spring begins its cooldown as soon as its dropped, not when it triggers. Precast it when you can do so without wasting it
• Try to hit enemies and allies with Vine Surge on clashes to maximize value

Immobilize

Immobilize Skills

• Rampant Growth
• Vine Surge

• Use Immobilize when:
  • Your group calls a spike such as Wells - (Well of Corruption)
  • On top of enemy downs (while alive enemies are on top of them)
  • Enemy groups move defensively while your group is pushing
• Try to hit enemies and allies with Vine Surge on clashes to maximize value

Settings

• Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
• Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
  • Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
• Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.
