Stats

• You might still have some success with full Celestial stats, but against high sustain specs the damage might be too low, and most of the defensive stats aren't necessary anyways since you spend most of the fight avoiding attacks through blind/evasion/CC/stealth spam. Cele however is still useful for providing a base amount of survivability without sacrificing too many offensive stats.

Equipment Variants

Relics

• Relic of the Demon Queen - the extra healing reduction could help you kill other high sustain builds.

• Relic of Evasion - higher Vigor uptime which is great for various synergies like stealth stacking (your dodge is a blast finisher).

Consumables

Food

Utility

• Optimal:

• Budget: either from Canned Food Crates found in WvW s or purchased from the Permanent Portable Provisioner.

Usage

General

• Drop Black Powder.
