Celestial Avatar = Deathshroud On Steroids?
No it’s not Deathshroud on steroids. They don’t get a second health bar and there attacks mainly heal and support as opposed to doing damage.

It lasts 20s. You gain 2.5% per heal or 0.25% per attack done. You either need to heal someone/thing 40 times , attack 400times or some combo of the two in order to fill the bar to use it for 20s.
You can only use the #4 skill and #5 skill twice unless you have alactrity. Also you misunderstand how quickness works as both the #4 and #5 would have a 1.83s and 1.67s cast time respectively under the effects of quickness. Quickness hasnt be 100% for a very long time.
Essentially the form is very good for burst healing high amounts where as something like ele or rev can supply more sustained heals.

there is virtually a second life bar, in the form of heals. except theyre going out to 4 more people. so I’m giving another life bar to 5 people including myself.
NC does quite a bit more dps than life siphon, not to mention the slow condi.
lastly, we have an aoe daze for additional utility.
if you take piercing life blast spam out of the equation, Celestial Avatar does a lot more aoe dps, in addition to providing huge utility via debuffs and burst heals.

If you are going to do that compare elite to elite. RS > CA for aoe damage. Also “giving another life bar to 5 people” may mean giving up a lot of things (stats, personal pressure, dps, etc etc ).
The forms as well as the classes in general..they are designed for two different things one is not a better version of the other.

druids will be able to crank out 10k+ damage over a 2s cast with Natural Convergence, in addition to slowing and immobilizing foes, cleansing condis, and throwing out huge aoe heals. this becomes a 1s channel with quickness.
Tidal Surge will also likely get an aoe debuff or dps component to it. we’ll have to see how quickly we can fill our celestial energy bar. but so far, this such a cool variation of the Deathshroud. I like it, but it begs the question…did they run out of ideas?
Meh… you’re comparing Druid’s elite to Necro’s old core spec. Compare it’s damage to Reaper Shroud and then get back to us.
ahh sorry for the confusion. I was comparing NC to Life Transfer, which indeed has the same damage modifier as Soul Spiral. I’m seeing a lot of parallels between celestial avatar and shroud.

Another thing to note is in the video some of the tooltips dont have stats but some do and its also obvious he is wearing a zerk amulet when using the skills on target dummies. You can tell this is the case as he crits very often, has rangers base hp pool and his crits do roughly 2x the damage of his white hits.
