Catalyst - Boon Support Healer

This variant of Catalyst can provide 急速, 激怒, 25 stacks of 威能, 保护, 决心, 迅捷, 再生 and 活力 to their subgroup. It also has access to 圣盾 and a small amount of 稳固.

Pros

• Not Firebrand - Support Healer.
• Fast pickups via 间歇温泉, 秘法复活, and 流水纹章.
• More fun(?)

Cons

• Not Firebrand - Support Healer.
• 部署翠玉元晶 cannot be moved, so boons will suffer if the group is spread and/or the boss moves too often.
• Does not provide on-demand 稳固 or 圣盾.
• Have to use 冰霜长弓. If you hate Conjures, this may not be the build for you.

• The traits in the first columns of Arcane and Water are pretty inconsequential, so pick whatever sounds best.
• For tanking, you can take 硬化光环 for some extra survivability. Your aura sustain is through 元素典范.

Weapon Variants

Players that own Secrets of the Obscure can use Warhorn paired with either Scepter for range or Dagger for extra healing. This build overprovides boons so it's really a matter of personal preference. Staff is the only weapon that provides access to 稳固, however.

Skill Variants

Utility Skills

• 流水纹章 is a ranged heal, condition cleanse and partial revive, on a fairly short cooldown.
• 冰霜长弓 can be used to generate hits for energy, and also provides CC and some sustained healing from the autoattack.
• 秘法波动 offers CC, and an extra blast finisher to trigger 卡拉科萨古物.
• 复元雕文 is an instant revive, with slightly different benefits depending on the attunement it's cast in.

• This setup has some toughness from Minstrel stats pieces. They can be swapped to Harrier stats or Magi stats if you do not wish to tank, but be aware that will give you up to 10% extra toughness regardless.
• If you're tanking, you can switch as many Harrier stats pieces to Giver stats as you desire.
• The is a minor heal, so you could replace it with something like a .
• Players without Secrets of the Obscure can use - the difference between the two isn't that large.

Food

• - standard ascended choice.
  • - budget/standard non-ascended choice.

Utility

• - standard utility choice.
  • - last resort/budget utility choice if you lack Boon Duration.

Boons

The majority of your boons come from your Jade Sphere in various attunements.

• Fire -
• Water - and
• Air -
• Earth - and

The basic concept is to cycle through all four attunements, dropping the Jade Sphere in each one, along with any skills that provide boons:

• On Staff: for , for , and ⇒ for .
• On Warhorn: for and , for , for , and for and boon extension.

Your opener is influenced by the desire to get up to 25 stacks quickly:

1. Precast - this will blast after a short delay so if you're quick you can place a fire field before it does so
3. and
5. - if you're quick, your fire field will still be active when this blasts.
6. and (if using) for more blasts. You can also use ⇒ if you won't need the before it's available again.

After this, use and go into followed by , using the Jade Sphere and any other useful skill in each. It is beneficial to go into last as this opener will have built up a large buffer of boons (most boons have a duration limit of 30s, which most will be at) and you can therefore camp this attunement for healing until you need to build them up again.

This makes the rotation very flexible, and as long as you perform a loop through the attunements every ~25s you should have no issues maintaining boons. You may wish to give some extra thought to though, as it contains both and which are very effective at mitigating dangerous attack and so it may be useful to leave it available in order to switch to it reactively. Bear in mind that and also provide your , so it is still recommended to swap to this attunement every 30s at least.

Energy Generation

2 Energy can be generated per attunement swap through , and the rest comes from hitting enemies.
