Overview
Condi Druid is a bleed-focussed build that spams AoE Immobilize Immobilize. As a Druid, it provides a small amount of healing to its subgroup, and though it shouldn't be relied on as a primary (or even secondary) healer in a squad, it can be quite beneficial to have in the second subgroup of a squad that is only running a single healer.
It also has access to a range of useful utilities.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
Shortbow is the best option to replace Dagger/Torch for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure.

Equipment
- On-swap sigils are used because they can be triggered twice on each weapon thanks to
天界化身, this makes them very powerful but it doesn't matter which set each of them is on.
荆棘古物 will be better damage on long encounters where you can regularly take damage from the boss (you need to average ~7 stacks to equalise). It is also the best relic for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure.
Consumables
Food
沙拉配素菜薄饼 - ascended food isn't essential, but the lifesteal effect will trigger
天界生物, increasing Astral Force gain.
Utility
大师调谐水晶 or alternatives
Usage
Astral Force
Access to
天界化身 is gated by a resource called Astral Force. The
自然修护 trait gives a small amount of passive Astral Force generation, but you mainly gain it by dealing damage and by healing allies.
Thanks to
日蚀, hitting targets generates more Astral Force than heal druid builds so you should always have enough to go into
天界化身 off cooldown, but in fights with significant downtime, you may wish to bring a skill that provides group healing when outside of
天界化身. You have three healing skills that could do this job:
流水精魂,
治疗之泉 and
回春雕文.
If there is no dedicated healer in your group,
治疗之泉 is a great choice as each tick of
再生 will provide you with Astral Force. If there is a dedicated healer though, their
再生 will overpower yours and make the skill rather useless.
Rotation Fundamentals
The most important trait in this build is
血月. This applies bleeding to targets every time you CC or Immobilize Immobilize them (the cooldown only applies to the
晕眩 from entering
天界化身).
蓝花楹的拥抱,
藤蔓缠绕 and
自然汇流 all pulse Immobilize Immobilize on their targets, making them very potent skills.
Otherwise, the rotation is very similar to Soulbeast - Condi DPS, with the additional factor that you wish to enter
天界化身 as often as you can to gain access to the skills from
日蚀 and maintain the buff from
自然平衡.
Beginner Rotation
For a simplified build that camps Shortbow, see below. As that build involves the use of
天界化身 and depends somewhat on being able to heal your allies, you may prefer an even simpler build.
Soulbeast is ideal for this, as it operates on the same principles but only has to deal with using some merged skills off cooldown rather than an alternate skill bar. The most effective build is Soulbeast - Condi Shortbow DPS, but you could also play the standard Soulbeast - Condi DPS build and camp Shortbow as the difference between the two is minor.
Simplified Rotation (by Masel)
Condi Druid can be simplified by camping the Dagger/Torch set, which reduces the rotation to using skills off cooldown and entering
天界化身 when available.
If you don't want to deal with making sure to only cast
结盟雕文 outside of
天界化身, you can use
尖刺陷阱 or
旭日精魂 instead.
旭日精魂 is lower damage, but has the advantage of being ranged and providing a small amount of
威能 to your group.
Opener
You can precast
锋开磨砺.
Rest of the Rotation
- You want to enter
天界化身 whenever it is available and follow the rotation as written in the main rotation below. - Use all Dagger/Torch skills off cooldown.
- Use all your utility skills and elite off cooldown.
- You can swap to the Axe/Dagger set if you ever need ranged damage.
Rotation
You can precast
锋开磨砺 and dodge twice to stack up
灵巧作战.
In fractals,
自然平衡 can be precast by entering and exiting
天界化身 before taking the Mistlock.

You want to use
天界化身 whenever you would just be autoattacking on a weapon. As explained above, the timing for this may vary in real encounters, but the rotation is the same each time. There is a small gap after
月色引力 before
生命种子 is available again, so if you have any utility cooldowns ready, you can use them here. Otherwise, dodge once. The aftercast on
自然汇流 will prevent immediately dodging afterwards, so do it after
月色引力.

Shortbow Rotation
Click to view
If possible, you can dodge twice and use
腾挪速射 before a phase to stack up the buff from
灵巧作战 for a minor DPS gain. You can also precast
锋开磨砺.
In fractals,
自然平衡 can be precast by entering and exiting
天界化身 before taking the Mistlock.
On Shortbow, you want to weapon swap after the third use of
毒箭连射 (i.e. if you use
毒箭连射 and Weapon Swap is available, Weapon Swap).
On Axe/Dagger, you ideally want to use
分裂之刃 three times, and
寒冬撕咬 twice (weapon swapping after the third
分裂之刃). However, if
天界化身 is not available after the second
分裂之刃, it may be better to skip the third one and Weapon Swap after the second uses of
寒冬撕咬 and
追猎之击 (step 7 in the Axe loop) in order to prevent spending too much time autoattacking on axe, as they are very weak.
Your healing, utility and elite skills should be used off cooldown, but weapon skills are higher priority.

General Tips
- Be aware that entering Celestial Avatar can cancel skill casts, so timing is key.
- Utility skills remain available while in
天界化身 so you can freely use them mid-rotation.
