Guild Wars 2

Aside from condi cleanse, how are you employing the offensive and healing capabilities of CA? Just spamming 1 and 3? Staff 5 into CA 3 then immediately leave? Waiting on 4? Bothering at all with 5 or glyphs?

It’s situational.

I use all of the abilities.
I usually pre-cast #2 > #1 > #3
Just to make sure I won’t be blinded in time my #3 hits.

In Stronghold I use CA 4 and 2 often on the doorbreakers and also to maintain the Grace of the Land on my team.
CA 5 with quickness is pretty nice in general if you are in a group fight.
I think I never use glyphs on CA, it is way too niche, usually the regular glyph effect is better.

That’s an interesting combo. And 2 is never wasted with all the random condi arbitrarily thrown around.

Hello, to answer your questions, i usually use CA 3 into staff 5 if i’m really low health before petswapping into CA 4 then 2 =>3 for retal , if i’m not underany pressure i do 2 =>3 retal petswapping into CA 5 + F2 Bristelback sometime paired with Tide if i need my full F2 to hit and ennemy don’t have stab/reflects.

Try to get a Heal as One just after your 3=>2 retal so it stays longer

2 > 5 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 2 leave (if you are doing it for more offensive)

or for defensive usually 2 > 5 – cancel > 3/4 > 2 > 3/4 > 2 > leave.
