Celestial Renegade Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Renegade Roaming Build. Revenant World vs World.


Last Update: September 2023



Jalis Variant (Solo)


The Celestial Renegade is a revenant WvW build that uses the full potential of the celestial stats. Because revenants have little choice in utilities, but those utilities have high versatility, celestial accentuates every aspect of these skills to achieve great results. This is also another way of saying that just pressing any button will be useful on this build. However, the better skills to use are the stability road Inspiring Reinforcements from Jalis stance, and the dodge stun break Riposting Shadows from Shiro stance. Otherwise, your shortbow skills all do plenty of damage. This is because the Vindication trait will provide plenty of might just by hitting things, boosting your hybrid damage from the shortbow.

Basic Priority:

Shortbow 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1

Shiro Stance

  • Riposting Shadows for Defense
  • Phase Traversal or Jade Winds for chasing or CC

Jalis Stance

  • Inspiring Reinforcements and stand in the stability road
  • Channel Vengeful Hammers when enemies are in melee range

The mobility of this build depends mostly on Phase Traversal and you will need to find a structure or neutral target to teleport away, though it can be hard to achieve that in some situations. Make sure to use all energy before swapping legends to refill it.

Ventari Variant (Group)


The Ventari Renegade gets value from all of the variety of stats from celestial because of the hybrid damage that the shortbow deals and the healing and boons like alacrity it can provide to its allies. The build lacks any form of stun breaks in the Ventari stance so it can be punishing if you do not manage your energy in the Shiro stance.

The Ventari tablet forces you to stay immobile, but the range of shortbow conveniently allows you to stay inside the protection of your tablet which grants healing, lots of cleanses, and projectile block which is very powerful in WvW.

Place your Ventari Tablet using your heal skill keybind, which will blind enemies near you on cast. Also place your Shortbow 4 on top of yourself to slow enemies attacking you in melee range. Channel the Protective Solace to protect allies and yourself from projectiles. Make sure to always use Energy Expulsion before leaving Ventari stance because you want to drain all of your energy anyway to make use of the Charged Mists extra energy.

  1. With the October 4th patch intending to make it so you can once again trigger weapon swap sigils when you legend swap, what sigils do you think you’ll use, or keep them the same?

  2. Running the solo build with Adventurer Runes instead of Durability drops the difficulty of this build down to 0% 😀

    • Salvation instead what? Invocation and Retribution gives damage and enough defenses already, you only take Salvation on the ventari variant to help allies. You are celestial and durability thats already over the top of what you need to sustain, if you also take salvation with jalis variant you just become a bunker, very bad choice.

      • Was just seeing people using salvation instead of retribution and was just asking your opinion and you gave it. Thanks for your input.

        • Forget my previous comment, I thought I would let you know the change 😀
          Due to a bug we found with the food, using Salvation is now just better because you won’t need to spend energy to sustain (Steadfast Rejuvenation) and you can just freecast the buffed shortbow. Unyielding Devotion will perma proc even out of combat while you using a food with regen effect, very broken but blame Anet.
          The build was updated just now.

  3. Hi, any other food we could use? Super cake pretty expensive, 16s per piece

  4. Question, would Rune of Fireworks be viable instead of durability or would the bonus be redundant?

    • The main reason to take Fireworks is the movement speed bonus and this build with Invocation trais you have permanent swiftness so it will be a waste.

  5. Quite literally one of the most over powered solo roaming builds I’ve ever had the displeasure of facing against. Incredible boon uptime, sustain, and enough damage to cause problems for most builds.
    One of the few times I actually think a build isn’t just strong, but over powered and in need of a nerf.
