Specializations
- This build can technically provide permanent Quickness by taking and adjusting your rotation to ensure you cast the air jade sphere off cooldown. This will not be reliable on real encounters however, so an example setup for more boon duration is below.
Specialization Variants
Replacing Fire with Arcane provides you with extra boon duration and a cooldown reduction of attunements and the jade sphere. This means you could provide Quickness without adjusting your gear, though it will be less reliable and lower damage than just taking some Diviner stats gear.
Air can be replaced by Water for a burstier opening, suited to shorter-phased fights such as fractals.
- You should also run in Fire to build up stacks of Elemental Empowerment faster.

Ratings
Very good sustained target and cleave damage, and provides some incidental boons. Weaver is easier and higher damage in most situations, but Catalyst is still an excellent option.
