    Introduction

    Heal Alacrity Druid is a strong, flexible defensive support that provides permanent Alacrity, Regeneration, Protection, Swiftness, Vigor, Fury, and 25 stacks of Might to a subgroup. This build also brings abundant condition cleanses and high amounts of Crowd Control.

    Build Fundamentals

    Alternate between Mace/Warhorn to provide boons and Staff for healing and Regeneration.

    Use Celestial Avatar as soon as it is available for healing, Might, and Alacrity application through Grace of the Land. Feel free to stay in Celestial Avatar for longer if you need to provide extra heals.

    Build Specifics

    It’s important to keep Protection on your group with a combination of Oaken CudgelStone Spirit, your pet’s F2 abilities through Invigorating Bond, and Glyphs via Verdant Etching. Don’t hesitate to use these abilities if you won’t need them for mechanics.

    If you don’t need to be on a specific pet because of some encounter mechanic, consider swapping pets to provide extra boons via Lesser Call of the Wild from Clarion Bond.

    Using Celestial Avatar changes the effect of your Glyphs. For example, instead of cleansing conditions on allies, Glyph of the Stars provides Regeneration, Vigor, and revives downed allies.

    Sublime Conversion provides Regeneration to allies that walk through it, and can also be used to convert enemy projectiles into healing bolts for your team.

    Introduction

    Pusher Heal Alacrity Druid is a very niche variant designed specifically for Soulless Horror in Wing 5.

    Build Fundamentals

    Use Glyph of the Tides and Longbow’s Point-Blank Shot to push the Tormented Dead outside of the arena, and swap to Staff to heal your allies right after pushing.

    Use Celestial Avatar as soon as it is available for healing, Might and Alacrity application, and condition cleanses. Make sure to instantly swap to Longbow when the Tormented Dead respawn.

    Build Specifics

    It’s important to keep Protection on your group with a combination of Stone Spirit, your pet’s F2 abilities through Invigorating Bond, and Glyphs via Verdant Etching. Don’t hesitate to use these abilities if you won’t need them for mechanics.

    If you don’t need to be on a specific pet because of some encounter mechanic, consider swapping pets to provide extra boons via Lesser Call of the Wild from Clarion Bond.

    Using Celestial Avatar changes the effect of your Glyphs. For example, instead of pushing nearby foes away, Glyph of the Tides pulls enemies toward you. Make sure to not accidentally pull the Tormented Dead toward your allies.

    Sublime Conversion provides Regeneration to allies that walk through it, and is useful for converting projectiles from the Elite Flesh Wurms into healing bolts for your team.
