GW2. Best Open World Build. Celestial Renegade Open World. Revenant PvE.
Last Update: April 2024
- Boon for group events: Alacrity
The Celestial Renegade Open World build has a large array of boons for itself, plenty of sustain, ranged hybrid damage, and utility to overcome any situation you will encounter, and it is supportive in group events. This makes it one of the best open world builds.
Always use all the energy before swapping Legend stances, and you can use the F4 skill Orders from Above which gives Alacrity and has no animation to help spend all the energy before swapping.
In Kalla Stance prioritize empowering the Razorclaw’s Rage skill for the extra torment damage. Simply using one stance skill will empower the next one used. So use a situationally effective skill such as the Heal or Darkrazor’s Daring for the CC, then cast Razorclaw’s Rage.
In Mallyx Stance, channel the elite Embrace the Darkness to pulse Torment to nearby enemies.
Skill Priority:
Try to swap Legend Stances off cooldown to maximize the sigil and stance swapping condition application, but not before you dip below 10 energy. Timing your energy dropping this low with your swap cooldown can take some practice getting used to. Use F3 or F4 if you need to increase your energy usage, or avoid using stance skills and stick to only shortbow skills if you need to decrease your energy usage to meet this timing.

Runes of the undead is any good ?
Hi, I just want to say I love this build, its incredible. I wanted to ask since the update, are runes of the revenant still relevant? I see you’ve updated the build to use runes of torment instead.
I liked it better when you had Mace/Axe with geo and hydro sigils as the secondary weapon, crazy condition damage output. I can see why having the sword or staff would be good as a utility defense.
