Guild Wars 2

As the title suggests, I’d like one that works for zerging with celestial gear. Preferably using Staff, as I’d rather have my 1200 range than say 600 with DD, but if Cele staff isn’t viable I am willing to do D/D or D/F

Serious question: Why would you want a celestial gear build for a zerg staff build? You are only gimping yourself and your team by losing out on DPS or your own personal defense. Cele gear is good for roaming and small scale battles due to its nature to cover every stat. But you don’t need condition damage or healing power while in a zerg.

My personal recommendation, and I’ve been playing ele pretty much singularly in WvW for nearly 3 years, get a set of PVT armor and zerker trinkets. Start with that if you want a good staff zerg build. As you learn positioning and how to deal with zerg battles, begin swapping out that PVT gear for more zerker gear until you have a nice mix.

If you still really want a celestial build, consider a roaming staff build or just the D/D meta. If you go that root, I believe the general concensus is get around 125-175 points worth of celestial in your gear, then fill the rest up with combos of zerker/knights/valky depending on what you feel you need.

I run this in wvw. Although if I need to be a bit tankier, I switch the rings out for celestial ones.

With bloodlust and guard stacks, your power is almost at 2800. Enough healing power for buffed soothing mist to give you sustained healing, enough survivability to not get one-shot.

Also, I don’t zerg, but I do use this when we run in 5-mans and hit zergs. Quite effective all around.
