Let's see how many noobs will comment complaining about celestial, remember I invented cele I am the mother of cele, it's all my fault! Subscribe and Follow! ❤Check all my links here: linktr.ee/guildjen ❤
Lol you don't know the half of it. All these noobs on reddit complaining about everything from "some moron using a JenPlays build" to "that person isnt even a woman lol, its clickbait for incel noobs". If only they put that much thought into the game. Nice video as always :)! Please do Warr or Engi soon!
I just created a Cele Catalyst. I'm a returning player and very behind in knowledge but I noticed something important about Cele. The numbers add up to a lot of stats per piece. With that I figured it should be better if you truly utilize all four attunements. I intentionally looked for a swiss army knife kind of build for roaming in WvW and remember liking Elementa list playstyle. That said, I don't care what people play. Just play what you like. I can't imagine being upset since, like you said, you didn't invent Cele. Not everyone would enjoy the jack of all trades style anyway. Let someone else play a high stealth glass cannon and that's cool too. There's different ways to win. Another thing is I'm just in pve atm feeling it out now. I could be terrible as a roamer but in pve I'm fighting Champions with this pvp build so that's a good start. I realize though that roaming WvW is probably less friendly. We'll see.
Thank you for this amazing summary of current good ele builds. I really appreciate your comments before each build as they help me understand the builds better.
I used to run a similar build like this back in vanilla gw2 , d/d ele was much simplified back then but i could outlast and beat anyone in a 1v1 , this brings a tear to my eye to see this build fully expanded and still one of the best 12 years later. Thank you for this masterclass !
I'm really enjoying this new type of format you have going on here. Tons of fun to watch and I'm discovering new aspects of the class you're covering, can't wait for more vids like this thanks for sharing !
I will try to keep doing but tbh these videos takes so much more work and time, sometimes is not worth much because Arenanet can randomly change the balance and everything is outdated, but anyway with the new upcoming Spears I don't think much will change for a while, because tbh I think Spears are far away to be finished and will take months of "live beta" lol.
Can anyone really get this good with practice and sticking to the build? I feel like there's some natural talent that can't be replicated. Your situational awareness and response are so good.
You can yes, I am not that good, there are players way better than me, my style is more reactive and improvised, you need muscle memory so you can automatically use the skills you need and remember a few combos or sequences of actions. Helps if you can get a gaming mouse, for classes like elemenalist helped me a lot to have a few side buttons in mouse for easy reach. But one important thing that most people don't understand, you need game knowledge, I know when to dodge or avoid some enemy class damage, because I know what they can do, I played them all. You don't need to main everyclass but you need to play them for a while at least and recognize what they can do to you. Also it can help if you check the matchup guides here: guildjen.com/gw2-matchup-guides/
good fights, ty you helped me a lot to test the diff builds, you were still using arcane on scepter right? I changed that to earth after a while, but I think arcane can work too
Greetings from ViP! Very nice that clip on Bay against the ThrOB ViP zerg. The staff really has it's bright and shine the brightest during this moments.
I've been having a lot of fun with Cele D/D Cata. It's even a blast in zerg fights where you can go balls deep on the enemy and disrupt them and get out safely.
Ele always seemed like such a solid pick as an all-rounder class, but the piano gameplay is still intimdating lol. Hope i get used to it when i try it out
Yes it's ok, I recently updated it too. It's just not as good as other ele builds, check here on the list they are in order guildjen.com/gw2-wvw-builds/
Jen, I'm looking to return to GW2 after about a 1.5 year break. Can you do an updated Cele Harbinger guide please? Your guides have always been top tier.
You know, I had plans to play and even make content about it, I was already preparing the website for guides and such, but then after playing the beta I got really dissapointed. The combat just feels bad, but besides that, there are many systems in the game that doesn't make sense, like the scheduled events once per day, and limited by server timezones, it's just bad and clearly an unfinished game. Since they removed the autoplay from the previous closed beta it feels they are just trying to overwrite the game with new changes, but it still have structural issues. I saw people saying the combat gets better after max level and I tried myself too, but it doesn't get THAT much better and there's no reason why you would want to endure all the way up to that. You can't swing your sword without a target, so it just feel bad especially after you experience guild wars 2 combat. The animations are forced and clunky, the game will require a lot of time with rework and I am not interested in carrying another game until it gets good, so best wishes for people who enjoy it.
heya jen, hope u well - but how does ur alliance works? im in a zerging alliance, but been kind boring hehe - so i was wondering... do u guys cover sea time too? like content there, people to play with? i play on NA too, but was wondering... just been thinking of going back to roaming.. and was trying to find a roamin guild/alliance to play with
Hey, we have roamers for all timezones but mostly NA timezone, you are welcome to join and try, send me mail and I give you an invite. I play random times, sometimes even in the mornings, and the weekends I usually binge so might be at weird times too, it depends on the matchup activity too, but yea always more fun to share world with other roamers than zergs :D
The fact that you never use your utility 1-6 to heal is baffling. Im wondering if you like edging on the verge of death or something because its criminal to fight with 5% hp left and still be like"nah ive got this"💀
Nah thats normal, nobody really plays alone anymore except streamers or content creators, and if they do it’s just for short periods of time like for a daily. Playing alone is a choice and means you should be already prepared to fight outnumbered.
Not sure about noobs , but idk how folks play this out dated game. I have tried so many times to get into it but I can't and it sucks because I want something fun to play like this. Cool video either way.
It's because this game have one of the best combat system in all mmos, it takes a while to get used if you come from tab target classic games but once you manage to control the camera and positioning it feels good.

@@shadowsaberXYZ it's amazing how much power I have over the haters mind, I already had to delete and ban 3 people commenting on this video lol
The only thing I can complain about celestial ele is that it’s so good I don’t want to play any other professions anymore

D/D ele always a classic, was my favorite build back then too.
I'm trying to learn ele now and this video is sooooo good, this format is awesome. Also the music is freaking nice!

Oh, i was the cata that you were fighting against haha. Good video and good fights :)
good fights, ty you helped me a lot to test the diff builds, you were still using arcane on scepter right? I changed that to earth after a while, but I think arcane can work too
@@JenPlaysGG yeah, usually i run arcane+something(fire/earth) at cele gear
Greetings from ViP! Very nice that clip on Bay against the ThrOB ViP zerg. The staff really has it's bright and shine the brightest during this moments.
Hey! Always fun to figh VIP while defending, thx for the fights, but sometimes I get chased too hard xD
Thank you for the guides!
I honestly just watch your build videos for the music... MISS MONIQUE!!!
Daggers and Cata plays so well with each other
I've been having a lot of fun with Cele D/D Cata. It's even a blast in zerg fights where you can go balls deep on the enemy and disrupt them and get out safely.
CELE can be really tanky imo, dps lacking. But winning a fight is a diff story your goated!💯
Ele always seemed like such a solid pick as an all-rounder class, but the piano gameplay is still intimdating lol. Hope i get used to it when i try it out
I started to play ele and engi many years ago but only after I got a gaming mouse with side buttons to handle the F keys
Always fun to watch!
So ele will take a big hit with cele nerf, what do you think the best power ele would be? Cata, Weaver?
What do you think about Fire weaver S/D? Still good? It's the build I usually play
Yes it's ok, I recently updated it too. It's just not as good as other ele builds, check here on the list they are in order guildjen.com/gw2-wvw-builds/
Jen, I'm looking to return to GW2 after about a 1.5 year break. Can you do an updated Cele Harbinger guide please? Your guides have always been top tier.
The cele harbinger build is up to date on the website, you have 2 variants to use guildjen.com/celestial-harbinger-roaming-build/
O will the upcoming Cele Nerf kill this build? Or are will there be modification to this build to still keep it viable.

I wanted to ask you jen, are you gonna play throne and liberty or do you think gw2 has WAAAAAAAAAAY better combat system than that game.
You know, I had plans to play and even make content about it, I was already preparing the website for guides and such, but then after playing the beta I got really dissapointed. The combat just feels bad, but besides that, there are many systems in the game that doesn't make sense, like the scheduled events once per day, and limited by server timezones, it's just bad and clearly an unfinished game.

Could I ask you few questions about similar D/D cata build and your opinion? But for PVP
I believe you asked on discord right, feel free to ask anything there is faster to repply :)
I've been enjoying my Axe DD but maybe it's time to put together an ele
heya jen, hope u well - but how does ur alliance works? im in a zerging alliance, but been kind boring hehe - so i was wondering... do u guys cover sea time too? like content there, people to play with? i play on NA too, but was wondering... just been thinking of going back to roaming.. and was trying to find a roamin guild/alliance to play with

So no way to play spears effectively on this class?
I didn't play much yet, but Vallun have a fun tempest build for it
What is your warclaw skin and dye? Thanks
It's the Starclaw, and I believe I was using permafrost dye there.
fa weaver or catalyst? and why? i ve never tried cata b4 but i ve heard its tankier
Fresh Air Weaver is more burst, while Catalyst is more sustained damage. Weaver is too squishy, Catalyst has way more survival.
Can a cele berserker even beat these ele builds reliably or am I just a shitter? I needed a friend to take one down and it took literally forever
Confusion is one of the biggest ele weakness so you can for sure with mace
Hello, can we play the game without extention ?
@@Profitocracy- you can but it’s like a trial, the expansions give so much more
@@JenPlaysGG yes i see a lot of "Meta" build using expansions specs...
@@JenPlaysGG thx btw
I feel like core warrior and condi core necro can be competent, but not sure about solo roaming with them
The fact that you never use your utility 1-6 to heal is baffling. Im wondering if you like edging on the verge of death or something because its criminal to fight with 5% hp left and still be like"nah ive got this"💀
3:17 clearly you got bullied jen, cause I saw others chasing after, I mean the deadeye had company while you are alone
Nah thats normal, nobody really plays alone anymore except streamers or content creators, and if they do it’s just for short periods of time like for a daily. Playing alone is a choice and means you should be already prepared to fight outnumbered.
Least revealing clothing, female human be like:
Beach meta
uffff i want a try this piano class but looks a lot of smash the poor key board jeje 😅😅
You are pretty bad at D/d tbh lol.
Thx, means a lot coming from a random fresh account.
A fresh account that was created in 2017? Lmao. Keep missing your cc's and blowing cd's on nothing 😂😂
Sure, ty for getting offended enough to keep coming back to comment 👍
What did you say that you believe I'm offended by?😂😂😂 sounds like you're the offended one lmfaoooo
ummm ok you sound very childish, take care
