Power Staff Catalyst Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Staff Catalyst Open World. Elementalist PvE.

The Staff Catalyst is an Open World build that enables the Staff weapon to deal more focused damage because the Jade Spheres can supplement the more burst-oriented staff skills while also creating many combo fields and finishers to create synergistic effects. It also has the potential to cast three Meteor Showers in a row because of the Arcane Echo and Elemental Celerity skills which recharge weapon skills.

If possible place the Jade Spheres in the middle of yourself and your enemy to gain the effect of the boons while also dealing damage. Always prioritize the Air Jade Sphere on yourself because it grants Quickness, allowing you to cast your combo much more smoothly.

The general rotation can be organized into two combos. The first is the triple meteor shower combo where all the cooldowns and damage will occur, then after is the healing and buffing combo which helps to keep up boons and health so you can survive the next meteor combo.

General Rotation

• Meteor Combo > Buff/Heal Combo > Repeat

Meteor Combo

• Air F5 > Swap Fire
• Fire F5 > 2 > 3 > 5
• Elemental Celerity > 2 > 3 > 5 + Arcane Echo
• Glyph of Storms (Fire) > 2 > 5 > Swap Earth
• Earth F5 > 3

Buff/Heal Combo

• Earth 5 > 2 > 3 > Swap Water
• Water F5 > 2 >3/5 > Heal Skill

This rotation will change based on the situation, and you can utilize the CC from Earth 4, Air 3/5, and Water 4 to help organize enemies for your combos.

Alternatives

• Stats: More Berserker for more damage but less survivability
• Relic: for more sustained healing
• Sigil: instead of Fire when using full Berserker
