Hey, had to delete your rating from Build:Catalyst_-_Staff_Backline as it was a comment and didn't rate the build. In future please post similar in the comment section instead. Your rating was:

I think this should be looked at again with the recent changes. This is a strong build and Catalyst is only missing Alac and Aegis as far as boon output go. This has strong DPS, CC, and boon support. Air could be swapped out with Arcane now and used with 2-2-3 as bountiful power synergizes well with the boons you give out with Cata and swapping weapons to you group. Pack runes would be the best choice as they give good uptime on Might(5 stacks), Fury(Great for other DPS in party), and Swiftness. Pack Runes also give you a 6% DPS boost with bountiful power compare to the strict conditions of the 6th perk of Scholars as well as 5 stacks of might so you are closer to hitting the threshold for Power Overwhelming in fire!

As far as your comments, its a neat idea, but in general pack runes aren't worth it when fury is easily covered by herald. Even a druid provides enough fury to keep 100% uptime with air for example. As for Arcane the modifiers on Bountiful Power are very good, but don't make up for the many lost modifiers in Air. For a boon support staff build I'd suggest checking out Build:Tempest_-_Staff_Support or Build:Catalyst_-_Support_Catalyst_(GvG) (can be used w/ a staff).
