Catalyst - Power Bloodstone DPS

Food

• 碗装甜辣冬南瓜汤 or ascended versions

Utility

• 超级磨刀石

Skill Variants

• 秘法爆弹 should replace 火焰纹章 when running 长效怒火.

• 长效怒火 provides more burst damage and performs better on bosses with low armour - 炼狱之火 pulls ahead after ~35 seconds.
  • Note that 长效怒火 requires different runes and sigils.
• You should bring 狂怒风暴 if 激怒 uptime is bad.
• 清新气流 is also an option, though it is harder to play and slightly less damage than 穿心一箭. The main value would be better access to for CC.

Power Catalyst is a complex and fast-paced build that provides strong melee damage as well as some 威能, 激怒, 决心 and 保护 for your group.

Catalyst brings its Jade Sphere that drops stationary damage and boon fields that your utility skills interact with for bonus effectiveness. This two unique mechanic means that Catalyst greatly prefers fights against low-movement bosses.

The Bloodstone build uses Scepter/Dagger to provide blast finishers that consistently trigger 血石古物.

Like all Catalyst builds, it requires speed and precision to perform well and while the concept is simple, it is easier to disrupt than the Sword Build.

Persisting Flames equipment

• Swap runes for 超级猎龙者符文 or 超级学者符文.
• Swap 超级焚烧法印 for 超级冲击法印.
• This gear is the same as the Sword Build.

The loop is shorter than the cooldown of 无情灼焰, so this skill will drift in your rotation. Try to use it when your 部署翠玉元晶 is active, though you don't have to be in 火焰协调.

You can precast 岩石屏障 in 大地协调.

Start in 火焰协调. Summon 元素雕文 just before the encounter starts.

Throughout the rotation, cast 烈焰轰炸 off cooldown, and 风暴雕文 off cooldown whenever you're in 火焰协调.

You want to use four blast finishers each loop to trigger the 血石古物 explosion and damage buff. If you miss any of the four, then you should use 秘法绚爆 instead.

If using 秘法爆弹, spam it as much as you can while in 火焰协调, ideally while under the effects of 无情灼焰.
