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

Last Update: September 2024

Build Variants

Shortbow Variant

The Celestial Renegade is a revenant WvW roaming 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. Gain might by casting the F2.

Alternatively Ventari can be played instead of Jalis for more group support, however it will lack stun breaks. 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.

Basic Priority:

Shortbow 4 > 5 > 3 > F2 > 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.

Updated Gameplay:

Spear Variant

Using the Spear enables a more aggressive approach because the ramping damage can create heavy damage burst combos. The Spear relies on landing the 5 skill to deal heavy damage, but this might be harder to land on moving targets. Start your combos with a CC, either the Immobilize from Icerazor’s Ire, or the pull from Spear 4 or Call to Anguish. Then land your Spear 5 while they are disabled and keep following through with more CCs to ensure you get the stacking buff from hitting it. Swap weapons when at 3 stacks of the Spear 5 buff and use the Mace 3 and F2 for might which will increase the damage of conditions already applied by you.

Place your Kalla spirits on yourself to gain protection, but you want to be close to your enemies so you can also pressure them with the multiple effects at the same time. Using Pain Absoprtion in Mallyx can grant you resistance for more sustain but also to avoid blind, chill, immobilize, or any other debilitating conditions. Shield 5 blocks and Spear 3 evades.

Handle CC by timing your heal skill with the Centaur Relic to gain stability. This can also be done more reliably using the instant cast by empowering the Kalla Heal skill by using another skill before it due to the Band Together mechanic. Otherwise your stun breaks are costly and have cast times, so use them only when you are sure you need to. Manage your energy so that you do big bursts right before swapping rather than using it all right after swapping and having no options.
