When I’m in WvW running around I’ll activate celestial avatar and it doesn’t seem to do much, so I think I could use some guidance on how to use it… Thanks…..

Skill 4 for some nice pusling PBAoE heals on self and allies. Also acts as a water field to combo healing

Skill 3 for small burst heal on self and allies, but can act offensively too as it dazes. Can act as a blast finisher.

Skill 2 for not too efficient small burst heal + 2 condi cleanses and a blind on enemies. Can act as a light field

Skill 1 uh yeah. Underwhelming skill

Skill 5 is the only damaging one, but it roots you. Still some nice numbers and adds slow, cripple and immob

If you have glyphs equipped, their effects are pretty much ‘inverted’ – the damage is changed to healing on allies, the condi application is turned to Cindi cleansed on allies, push becomes pull, etc.

Keep in mind that it works with QuickDraw, in which case, you can use the lowered recharge of the affected skill again and you can use 2+3 for free AoE Retal.

Could toss a #2 in there as well. #1 you can forget about completly.

I personally:

4 (to take advantage of quickdraw on aoe waterfield that heals for a sum of roughly 8,000)

2

3 (in the middle of the 2, for aoe retal)

4 (has generally come off cd by now, if not, throw a 1 or maybe another 2 somewhere until it comes back)

5 (if I think the situation needs it, otherwise, I just exit CA form)

That is just a standard rotation. But using the glyphs of alignment, rejuvenation, and unity while in CA form can be used for much stronger burst-healing.

If you are just entering CA form to give GofL to others, then just pop it, use 4, then exit. That likely has the highest upkeep of GofL stacks.
