Overview

A power DPS build for Catalyst.

Skill Bar

Hammer

Utility

Skill Variants

• Conjure Lightning Hammer should replace Shattering Ice on large-hitbox targets.
• Glyph of Elementals is a minor DPS loss if you prefer to avoid conjured weapons, or you think you won't get use out of the second one.

Specializations

• This build can provide permanent Quickness merely by adjusting the rotation to focus more on the Air Jade Sphere. This might not be reliable on real encounters, so Sphere Specialist is an easy way to increase your boon uptime.

Specialization Variants

Air can be replaced by Water for a burstier opening, suited to shorter-phased fights such as fractals.

• You should also run Conjurer in Fire to build up stacks of Elemental Empowerment faster.
