Druid Class [Feedback]

Quote from kleos

Hi,

since a recent patch I can no longer use several Druid healing/buff skills without a target. Previously, if I had no target during combat, pressing the skill would either apply it to myself or still fire; now nothing happens. This makes Druid gameplay much harder (e.g., on bosses I have to press F1 to select myself, cast, then re-select the boss).

Affected skills (examples):

• 493558 Mother Earth’s Protection

• 493526 Restore Life +105

• 493527 Blossoming Life +105

• 493529 Mother Earth’s Fountain +105

• 493532 Vitalization +105

Steps to reproduce:

1. With no target selected, press any of the skills above.

2. The skill does not trigger; there is no error message.

3. If I select myself (F1), it works; then I must re-target the enemy.

Expected behavior:

When there is no target, the skills should auto-cast on self (the former behavior), or there should be a setting like “cast on self if no valid target.”

Question:

Was this change intentional or is it a bug? If intentional, could you consider one of these QoL improvements for Druids?

• Option to “self-cast when no target,”

• Smart-cast behavior that doesn’t require retargeting,

• Restoring the previous target flexibility for these skills.

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

it's a setting "automatic self cast" (since ever)

Interface -> Control -> right top corner "automatic self cast".

Healing works with no target and with enemy as target.

Hello,

I’ve been testing different healing classes for quite some time, and I’d like to share my thoughts on the Druid/Priest 70 Elite Skill – 1490658 [Saviour of Light].

As we know, 70 Elite Skills are usually among the most impactful and frequently used abilities for each class.

However, for Druid/Priest, I’ve noticed that this particular skill is barely ever used — at least in my gameplay experience.

The main reason seems to be the 503827 [Nature’s Power] buff.

For Druids, the number of Nature’s Power stacks we maintain directly increases our healing output.

But when using [Saviour of Light], all of these stacks are consumed instantly.

This means that after casting it, we lose both our healing bonus and the sustained efficiency that comes with it — and the skill’s overall healing effect and duration feel too weak to justify this trade-off.

In short, using this skill feels like a downgrade rather than an advantage.

I’ve been playing healer actively for about a month, and during that time, I’ve used this skill only once.

From my perspective, 1490658 [Saviour of Light] currently feels like a nearly useless skill.

Perhaps it could be made more viable — for example, by consuming only part of the Nature’s Power stacks instead of all of them, or by increasing its effectiveness.

Of course, this is just my personal feedback, but I wonder if other Druid/Priest players have noticed the same.

Thank you.
