德鲁伊 Druid - Alacrity Support Healer
此配装转载自 https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Druid_-_Alacrity_Support_Healer
概述 Overview
Healing Druid is a support build that provides its subgroup with Alacrity: ,high Might uptime, healing, frequent condition cleanse, and permanent Fury 和 Regeneration。 It can inflict good amounts of CC, high Vulnerability if needed, and tons of utility from various pets and utility skills.
One of Druid's strongest features is the ability to provide the majority of its healing from long range via 法杖 和 Celestial Avatar,only needing to return to the group for Might。 This makes it excellent at handling mechanics without losing effectiveness, and makes it easy to support the tank when it's off-stack.

武器变体 Weapon Variants
While 法杖 can be replaced, losing it is a significant reduction in healing. Swapping out offhand 战号 means you want to make sure the missing boons are covered elsewhere in your kit.
- Players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure cannot use 钉锤。 利斧 is the most common replacement, but any mainhand weapon could work.
- 长弓 provides ,a short cooldown and easily accessible knockback. On bosses where pushing or CC is important, you should use to help your squad.
- Offhand axe::pulling adds on certain encounters.
Pets Variants
You will mainly be bringing these pets to fights:
- Jungle Stalker Has decent DPS, but is most useful for its ,which helps keep your Might generation up.
- Electric Wyvern 和 Rock Gazelle deal mediocre DPS but provides very strong CC from their pet skills, 和 。 You should have one of these as your secondary pet and swap to it if CC is needed.
- Fanged Iboga is the highest DPS pet and has a long-range pull in 。
- Jacaranda is the second highest DPS pet and the pet with the highest cleave damage. It also has an immobilize in ,useful if more soft CC is needed.
In certain situations, you might also find these pets useful:
- Red Moa provides Fury with its pet skill ,useful if you're struggling with fury uptime.
- Wolf provides AoE fear, useful if your group is having trouble with adds (e.g. on Escort towers)。
- Brown Bear provides :extremely condition-heavy fights.
- Fern Hound provides Regeneration if you have difficulty keeping it up.
- White Tiger is your second source of Aegis (with being the first)。 As this pet teleports around randomly during its attack, it is strongly recommended to keep it on passive to be sure that the boon hits your group.
- Siege Turtle provides good Protection uptime, but more importantly a projectile-destroying bubble.
Spirit Variants
Spirits have three separate effects: They have an immediate effect when summoned, then the spirit slams the ground for a second effect, and finally it shakes and pulses boons for a few seconds.
- heals you, slams the ground to heal allies for the same amount, then applies Vigor。
- provides Resistance,slams the ground to cleanse conditions, then shakes to apply Resolution。
- provides Aegis,performs an attack (which is a blast finisher), then shakes to apply Protection。
- applies Vulnerability to enemies in the area, performs a Daze attack, then shakes to apply Fury。
- applies Blind to enemies in the area, performs a Burning attack, then shakes to apply Might
- cleanses conditions, slams the ground to revive up to five downed players, then shakes to apply Regeneration。
You will want :the easiest Might generation. You will generally want to take as well, as it is your best source of Aegis and provides a decent amount of Protection as well.
Other Skill Variants

使用说明 Usage
As a Druid you wear many hats in a raid encounter. This is your priority during fights, from highest to lowest:
- Stay alive
- Maintain boons and healing on your squad
- Do mechanics
- Rescue teammates low on health
- Maximize your DPS
Boons
Your main job for most of the fight is maintaining Alacrity and 25 stacks of Might on your subgroup. As a Druid you are well equipped to do this with 。 You should also be aiming to maintain permanent Protection, Regeneration and ideally Swiftness。
Alacrity
Alacrity is applied by every skill. In general, you should be aiming to use whenever it comes off cooldown, and using enough abilities to maintain Alacrity until the next time is available.
Might
Might is applied by 和 in ,as well as 和 。 is almost half your Might generation, so it is required if you are the only Might source in your group.
Protection
Protection is applied by ,,your pet's beast ability (via ), and every glyph (via )。 Using and F2 off cooldown should be sufficient to make Protection permanent, but as you may wish to delay either of these for mechanics, it is helpful to bring at least one glyph to provide a safety net.
Regeneration
Thanks to the Nature Magic traits , 和 ,having permanent Regeneration is trivial.
Swiftness
By default, only applies group Swiftness。 The duration is almost long enough to make the boon permanent if used off cooldown, but both Skirmishing and Marksmanship offer ways to get a bit more: In Skirmishing, is effective when used on ,and in Marksmanship, triggers Lesser Call of the Wild every time you pet swap.
Aegis and Stability
和 offer very convenient access to Aegis 和 Stability,respectively. If more is required, White Tiger provides Aegis on its beast ability和 pulses Stability in the area.
Example Opener
As a healer, you will always need to be reactive to the encounter, so there is no one rotation that is always best. The following example is just one way of starting a phase.
Begin on 法杖
- Weapon Swap once you're in combat to trigger
- to get Might stacked up fast
- 和
- while standing on your squad
- Spam throughout - it has no cast time so you can cast it in the middle of other skills' cast times
- Spam
- ⇒ ⇒ - this provides an extra stack of Nature's Strength,allowing you to freely trigger Force of Nature when you wish.
The long opening usage allows you to twice, and will also get you to the 30-second duration cap on Alacrity。 This means that in subsequent uses, you can use skills 3-5 once each (you should also be able to get two in) to top the Alacrity back up to the cap.
Force of Nature is a powerful effect, but both 法杖 and Celestial Avatar provide more sustained healing, so to fully benefit from it you want to have it activate just before leaving Mace/Warhorn。
Given how strong druid's healing already is, the extra 25% may not matter, so perhaps more useful is the reset of 钉锤 skills when it triggers. Triggering Force of Nature with then using it again before swapping for more burst heals could be useful if you know a big hit of damage is incoming, though druid already has a lot of tools for burst healing. Alternatively, lining up Force of Nature with a defiance bar for two uses of will be very potent.
治疗
Healing is the secondary role you provide to your raid squad. While you should be regularly switching to 战号:,the rest of the time can be spent on 法杖 as almost every skill there is a heal.
On most encounters, you want to enter off cooldown in order to maintain Might 和 Alacrity。 While there, you should make sure everyone in the group is at full health (and Might) before exiting. This means you regularly burst heals on the group, and a combination of Regeneration,your heal skill, 和 should provide significant sustained healing in between. This allows you to save 和 :an emergency burst heal.
Healing becomes important when mistakes or mechanics cause your teammates to get dangerously low on health. As a support healer, it's your responsibility to keep them alive. You can provide burst healing in any of the following ways:
- Go into and spam ,, 和
- (if using)
- Drop a water field on your allies with 或 ,and then blast it with and/or 。
A combination of these should be sufficient to heal your team back up to full. Make sure to turn on "Thick Party Health Bars" in your options so that you can see who needs healing at a glance.
If your teammates still go down after you babysit them and drop all your healing on them, that's on them, not you. Make a judgment call on whether it's worth putting yourself in danger to revive them, or popping your / to give them a second chance.
Quick Draw
is a very useful trait that provides a safety buffer for both your boons and healing. Every 9 seconds, this trait will activate after you Weapon swap or enter/leave ,and it will reduce the cooldown of the next skill you use that has a cooldown. This is usually going to be 或 。 This extra buffer is great for new Druids or for chaotic fights where you can't keep up a regular rotation.
has a 9 second cooldown, so get a feel for the timing or keep an eye on your skill bar to see if is active. It's better to autoattack for a few seconds rather than accidentally waste on inconsequential skills.
also won't trigger if you are in the middle of a skill cast when you ,so remember to finish your cast animations.
Mechanics
As a utility support class, Druid is often called upon to do specific raid mechanics. These are varied and highly encounter dependent. Ask your commander what they want you to do in any given fight.
- Entangling: On many bosses, Druids are asked to bring to immobilize or clear adds. An example is on Gorseval where you have to keep 4 spirits from reaching the center. Generally this boils down to pressing when your commander tells you to.
- Pushing: Druids have 2 reliable knockbacks in 和 ,which means they usually have the responsibility of handling knockbacks ("pushes")。 An example is on Soulless Horror where you will be asked to push Tormented Dead far away from the main group. If asked to do this, position carefully and have your pushing skills ready when the time comes.
- If there is a risk of your getting intercepted then you should run the "Marksmanship Variant" listed above.
- Kiting: As Druids can heal and support from range, they are sometimes asked to stand apart from the main group to keep a specific mechanic away. An example is on Sabetha where you may be asked to stand further away to kite flak. In these scenarios, will need to spend a long time in spamming the first three skills to maintain Alacrity at range. Might uptime is likely to suffer in this case, unless you can regularly return to the group for 和 。 Using on will be helpful to mitigate this.
- Healing Through: Some advanced strategies rely on ignoring mechanics by having the healer heal through heavy damage. This generally involves saving and then spamming its healing abilities.
CC
You can help with breakbars using any of the following skills:
- 或 或
- 或
- (not recommended as you generally need this skill for other mechanics)
常规技巧 General Tips

- If a breakbar is coming up, you should save :CCing with and healing the fixated squadmate.
- If Rigom control is truly dire you could also bring a 长弓:a second knock.
- The puddle kiter takes heavy damage after blocking Deimos's Mind Crush attack, so watch out for this and make sure you keep them healthy. In Deimos CM this will apply to the entire squad.

- The Reaper closest to the entrance will be where the deathlings (and messengers) congregate, so pay most attention to it.
- Stealthing a Reaper gives them a unique stealth buff that lasts for 20 seconds. This will cause any mobs on it to leave and go to the next closest Reaper instead. This can be a useful trick with but be careful in case you do it by accident.

- Alternating and White Tiger can be used to prevent your group being stunned by the arms if no-one else is doing it.

- This is a perfect encounter for the Marksmanship variant as affects the special action key CC, significantly improving your contribution.
- If the kiters drop an orb, they will likely need special attention so keep an eye out.
