GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Hammer Catalyst WvW Roaming Build. Elementalist WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.
The Celestial Hammer Catalyst is a roaming elementalist build for WvW that dishes out tons of damage. The rotating orbs and Jade Spheres can not only provide many buffs and damage but are also a great counter to aegis and blinds with how quickly they pulse.
With the celestial stats and Fire traits, you can become a slow but indestructible bruiser. You will struggle to kill enemies who disengage, but enemies will struggle to defeat you in any fair manner. Focus on upkeeping the skill 3 orbs and staying on top of your target as they will add up damage over time and apply weakness as well as trigger the extra conditions from sigils and traits when you critically hit.
Try to use the augment utilities like Fortified Earth inside the Earth Jade Sphere to get extremely low cooldowns on them which grant you extra blocks and sustain. Make sure to use the 4/5 skills of the hammer in your Jade Sphere combo fields to create finishers to give you extra stats and auras.

What about using dragon instead of marauder?
low precision that isn’t made up for with other traits, marauder and fury gets you to 80% which is good, dragon would only get to 50-60
RIP in next patch
Can this be used in Open World?
