I like to Druid really, there are many good parts of it and of course some to improve. But the one thing bothering me the most is the animation of some things, especcially CAF.
lore-Wise is the Druid Bonded to plants, Nature and spirits.

The CAF is the kitten Nightsky! No plants no jungle.

The Staff is ok, but some Animations could improve.
For example they could make all skills looking similar.
Solar beam stays.
Astral wisp put more leafs in it.
Ancestral Grace, put more leafs in it.
Vine surge fine.
Sublime conversion make as thorny as vine surge and not a bloom garden ( i mean you are fighting right?!)

Glyphs:
All glyph animation is fine Except the glyph of alignment.
It would fit better theme wise if it would be more greenish and thorny (because of poison application etc.)

Now the CAF:
The Form itself:
In Game you are a image of the nightsky in this form.
My idea is exactly the opposite, make it like a sunny summer day glowing with leafs (similar to the staff animations)

Now skills:

Cosmic Ray: just make it like sunlight and not some starlight stuff.

Seed of Life: THIS LOOKS LIKE A KITTEN ALIEN!
Change it to a real flower similar to the healing spring just bigger and with some yellow blossom.

Lunar Impact:Same as Cosmic ray

Rejuvanating Tides: The Idea of the Planets moon etc is cool, but it would be nice if the light of it would be like sun (yeah i repeat myself) and that also a mini sun is surrounding you while casting.

Natural Convergence: Same as Tides.

What would you change on the Druid animations ?

Pale Raiders united.
9 Sylvari, 9 unique Builds.

GW2 Druids are just a castrated version of WoW Boomkins.

Visiual and design wise we got some copycat here too:

Cosmic Ray = Moonfire spam
Lunar Impact= Starfire (stronger with cooldown)

Just that we got healing (yeah, since when is an astral theme used for healing?) instead of damage.

Creativity looks different.

At least a WoW druid can do all kinds of stuff.

I wonder what kind of things you are suggesting my druidess cannot do :P
