GW2. WvW Build. Support Catalyst WvW Zerg Build. Elementalist WvW. Large Scale WvW Build.
The Support Catalyst is a healer Elementalist build for WvW squads which has immense boon generation for allies despite not having the best healing compared to a tempest. Uniquely, the Resistance boon is applied in significant amounts which helps to counter chill, immobilize, weakness, and blind which are some of the more debilitating conditions.
The Sphere Specialist trait allows you to rotate through attunements and provide tons of boons through using the Jade Spheres. Also you can perform blast finisher combos in these Jade Spheres to trigger the Diamond Skin trait and Karakosa Relic to cleanse and heal allies.
The most important thing is to swap attunements as quickly as possible while using the most important skills and using one blast finisher per attunement to maximize value while also progressing the rotation since cooldowns are relatively low on the Jade Spheres.
Boon Application Rotation
- Air Jade Sphere > 5 > 4 > Arcane Wave > Swap Earth
- Earth Jade Sphere > 4 > 5 > 33 > 2 > Swap Water
- Water Jade Sphere 4 > 5 > 2 > 3 > Arcane Brilliance > Swap Fire
- Fire Jade Sphere > 2 > 3 > 5 > Swap Air
Use Elemental Celerity to reset Water or Earth attunement skills since they provide the most auras and utility to your team. Try to place the Jade Spheres on your allies with the initial pulse as that gives the most boons, but prefer to hit both allies and enemies because the damage ticks will help to recharge your energy to keep using Jade Spheres and progress your rotation.
