Hammer Catalyst Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Hammer Catalyst Roaming Build. Elementalist World vs World.


Last Update: January 2024


The 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 3 skill Orbs and staying on top of your target as they will add up damage over time and apply weakness.

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.

Basic Rotation: Earth 4 > Jade Sphere + 5 > 3 > 2 > Swap Air

Air 3 > 4 > 5 > Swap Fire

Fire 3 > 4 > 2 > Jade Sphere + 5 > Swap Water

Water 3 > 5 > 4 > 3 (shoot orbs) 2 > Swap Earth

    • 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
