“Where am I needed, and how does my PBAOE-happy-self get there?” are prettymuch the constant questions of my Druid playtime.
And, now that I think about it, Guardian’s Merciful Intervention more or less tackles them both. I was wondering how folks felt about sprinkling that functionality somewhere in the often commented on #1 and #2 of Celestial Avatar – Cosmic Ray and Seed of Life.
Like;
Cosmic Ray
Call down energy onto the most damaged ally in the area around you or your pet.
Cast Time: Immediate
Healing: 500
Radius 120
Range 900
Seed of Life
Summon a seed that cleanses nearby allies of conditions and blinds foes when it blossoms.
Cleanse: 2 conditions
Blind: 4 seconds
Radius 260
Range 1200
→? name of chain skill ?
→ Expend the energy of the seed of life before it blossoms to transport to the targeted
→location and heal nearby allies.
→Healing: 700
→Radius 180
-ish.
Sort of turn Cosmic Ray into a way to take a quick survey of the battlefield, turn the existing timing elements of Seeds of Life into a condi clear/breakbar vs. respositioning/heal decision point, and just for spice give the pet a role during CA as a ‘second pair of eyes’ to help spot ailing allies and an extender for what would be our only ranged heal (pet leash range +900).
So you’re still exercising battlefield awareness, it’s just instead of minding the UI you’re looking to see where your Cosmic Ray landed. And you’re still aiming to get your major heals out, you’re just aiming yourself.
