元晶师 Catalyst - Power DPS

特性 Specializations

• You should bring if Fury uptime is bad.

特性变体 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 technically provide Quickness without adjusting your gear, though it would require a different rotation.

• When providing Quickness，you will also need to use 和 。

Fire can be replaced by Water：a burstier opening, suited to shorter-phased fights such as fractals. With ，you also share auras fairly frequently, which can be particularly helpful for Condi Berserkers.

Hammer Rotation fundamentals

Catalyst's rotation can be varied quite a lot, so an outline is provided rather than a strict skill usage. The fundamental goal is to cycle through all four elements, activating the Circular Projectile in each element before releasing them all with and starting the loop again.

Jade Sphere use

During the loop, you also want to deploy your Jade Sphere once in each element. You do not regain the energy needed to cast them while one is active, so it's best to cast them in "pairs" as you switch attunements. This creates some gaps in the loop where energy can recharge, and as the most powerful autoattacks are found in Fire 和 Earth，these attunements are the best choice to stay in. The sphere does the same amount base damage in each element, but thanks to the damage buffs you gain while in Fire 和 Air，these attunements are higher priority. also generates stacks of 和 和 will last longer if used while standing in 和 。

Glyph of Storms use

should be used either in Fire 或 Air attunement. Optimal use will depend on phase timings as well as hitbox size - Fire favouring small hitboxes and Air favouring large. Given the damage and cooldown, Fire should be the more efficient option, but the rotation lines up somewhat awkwardly compared to using it in Air, so consider the following:

• A rule of thumb for elementalist is that your last in each phase should be used in Air, so try to keep an idea of how long you have left when deciding where to use it.
• As the more powerful option, if you can line Air up with your target gaining Exposed this will be greatly beneficial - particularly useful in fractals.
• If your rotation is not particularly tight, you may be better off just casting at the earliest possible opportunity, whether you are in Fire or Air.

Fiery Greatsword use

With the trick (see the Earth section below), Earth has the fewest cooldowns to use, and so is the best time to 。 Summon after using 和 (if available) and use → then drop the weapon and continue your rotation. The next time you reach Earth，pick the second Greatsword up and repeat.

Fire

In Fire you want to use:

Water

In Water you want to use:

• - use if available, but don't delay your attunement swap for it

Air

In Air you want to use:

• 。

Earth

In Earth you want to use:

• - as is a powerful autoattack, it is a good idea to delay this until your attunement swap is available, then use and immediately swap (this will not interrupt the cast)

Hammer Rotation example

While you have opportunities to adjust the element order as needed, in most cases you want your first two attunements to be Fire 和 Air，followed by Water and lastly Earth。 Your choice of starting attunement is largely up to you, but it might be best to base it upon which you wish to open with.

Opener in Fire

1. (optional)

Air

4. once you pass 20 energy (2/3rds of the energy bar) and swap to Water Attunement

Water

5. - if available
6. - swap to Earth Attunement once the cast begins

Earth

3. (if available)
4. - drop Fiery Greastword immediately after the cast
5. until you are at full energy and is nearly off cooldown
7. - swap to Fire Attunement once the cast begins

Fire

9. Return to the start of the Air Section

Keep looping between the four elements, following the advice in the Rotation fundamentals section and adjusting as necessary.
