Guide
Overview
Support Catalyst excels at supporting allies by sharing auras, boons, healing, and condition cleansing. The build leverages Relic of Karakosa for extra healing through frequent blast finishers. The key synergies of this build are:
- Relic of Karakosa in combination with blast finishers to generate healing
- Diamondskin provides condition cleanse with every blast finisher (1s cooldown)
- With Powerfulaura you grant all auras you grant yourself also to your allies
- Spectacularsphere and Spherespecialist enhance your jade sphere effects Your unique mechanic, jade spheres, grants different boons depending on your current attunement. By cycling through attunements and using your weapon skills, you provide a wide range of important boons:
-
威能
-
激怒
-
迅捷
-
保护
-
抗性
-
活力
-
急速
-
决心
Throughout fights, rotate attunements quickly to maximize boon and healing uptime. Diamondskin provides condition cleanse with every blast finisher (1s cooldown).
