GW2. Best Open World Build. Celestial Berserker Open World. Warrior PvE.
- Boon for group events: Quickness
The Celestial Berserker for Open World is a warrior build that balances self-sustain, decent damage, and quickness generation for a fun and fluid playstyle. It can deal damage from range with the longbow or apply intense burns to nearby enemies with the sword and torch.
Build adrenaline with Headbutt and go Berserker mode (F2) to use your Primal Bursts (F1) and use your healing skill to refresh and use them again. Prioritize using the Primal Bursts whenever possible because they give the most damage and boons. Adrenaline is used to keep using the F1 skills and it is gained quickly by just hitting enemies. Swap weapons only after using your last F1 burst to maximize how many you can do.
Might increase your damage dealt significantly, and besides using “For Great Justice!” you can build more Might using blast finishers like Longbow skill #3 on the fire field from Scorched Earth. Leap finishers from Sword 2 will also give you Fire Aura that you can detonate due to the King of Fires trait by using any of the torch or rage utility skills.
Skill Rotation:
- Torch 5 > Sword 2 > Headbutt > F2 > Sword F1 > Swap
- Longbow 2 > F1 > Heal > F1 > 5 > 3 > 4 > F1 > 2 > Swap
- Sword F1 > 5 > 2 > 4 > 3 > F1 > Swap

Any ideas on rune and relic for this?
Build is updated now, mace and akeem
why use mace and akeem instead of sword and relic of fractal?
I was testing, I think mace with Akeem offers more damage but I reverted to Sword with fractal relic because its more fun to play 😀
Why akeem in PvE? It seems it only applies 4 stacks of confusion and you need 5 to trigger it?
You right, was an issue with the split balance for WvW, ty for letting me know its fixed now
Which relic can you recommend from those that can be bought at the auction? possibly craft? (I can’t find the one listed on tp) I’m a newbie and I just joined path of fire
Relic of the Krait maybe, not many good options
Would I be losing too much sustain with Viper’s or Trailblazer’s trinkets instead of Cele?
nope its fine that way too
what easy option means please ?
Easy to get, I will clarify now
