Celestial Holosmith Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Celestial Holosmith Open World. Engineer PvE.

The Celestial Holosmith is an engineer Open World build with lots of dodges to manage its heat and to enter the Photon Forge more often to access its powerful skills that apply burning conditions.

Going into Photon Forge grants powerful abilities like the Photon Blitz and Corona Burst, but it also generates Heat which can give many modifiers to Holo Utilities. However, if you reach maximum heat level you Overheat and lose health and access to your tool belt. So you want to get as close to Overheating as possible without actually reaching it. One trick that is useful for maximizing your heat is using Corona Burst right before leaving Photon Forge and since the heat gained is gradual, it will stop at maximum so long as it happens after you exit.

After leaving Forge, use the Spear skills prioritizing 2 > 3 > 5. Use your instant cast tool belt skills to gain Vigor and Quickness, and use Dodges to lower your heat levels and apply burning.

Basic Skill Priority:

• Use Forge When Heat is below 50%
• Forge 3/4 and leave before overheating
• Use Prime Light Beam and Laser Disk when above 50% Heat
• Spear 2 > 3 > 5
• Dodge and use Tool Belt skills in between cooldowns

Alternatives

• Jade Bot Core: for extra vitality
• Stats: For more damage, use Viper gear
• Weapon: Replace Spear with Pistol for a ranged option but less damage
