GW2. Best Open World Build. Celestial Elementalist Open World. Core Elementalist PvE.
The Celestial Elementalist is an Open World hybrid build that is versatile while not becoming overly complicated. It can passively heal itself while dealing damage, and has great sustained damage over time. The survivability and mobility are also great, but the only issue is that it can be susceptible to CC. Auras grant condition cleansing and protection, and these can be gained by using any signet or the Air 3 and Water 4 skill. Recasting any of these aura skills will transmute them for extra effects.
Swap between Fire and Earth attunement to deal damage, then Air if you need CC or mobility, and Water for extra cleanses and healing.
Skill Rotation
- Use Signet of Fire and Signet of Earth whenever possible
- Fire 2 > 3 > 5 > 2 > 4 > Swap Earth
- Earth 2 > 4 > 5 > 3 > 2 > Swap Fire
Try to swap attunement while in the middle of a longer cast skill at the end of that attunement’s rotation to begin your attunement cooldowns faster. Use Glyph of Elementals in Fire Attunement for extra damage or in Water Attunement for more sustain. Keep recasting the elite skill to trigger the elemental’s powerful spell as well as your Arcane Shield.
