The Reaver Catalyst is an item in Path of Exile 2 that enhances rings and amulets by improving attack-related stats, like physical damage, attack speed, or accuracy.

When Should You Use Reaver Catalyst?

You Need More Physical Damage:
- Use it to boost your attack damage, especially for builds that rely on melee or ranged attacks.
You Need Better Attack Speed:
- If your build benefits from faster attacks, this Catalyst improves your overall damage output by increasing your speed.
Your Gear Has Attack Stats:
- Apply it to rings or amulets with modifiers like physical damage, attack speed, or accuracy to make those stats even stronger.

How to Use Reaver Catalyst

Get the Catalyst:
- The Reaver Catalyst is exclusive to Breach events, where you fight hordes of monsters in alternate dimensions. These events often drop Breach-exclusive loot, including the Reaver Catalyst.
Pick a Ring or Amulet:
- Choose an item with attack-related modifiers, such as physical damage, attack speed, or accuracy.
Apply the Catalyst:
- Right-click Reaver Catalyst, then left-click on the item.
- Each use increases the quality of attack-related stats, up to a maximum of 20%.

Tips for Using Reaver Catalyst

Focus on Attack-Based Builds:
- Use it on items that are key to melee or ranged attack-focused characters.
Don’t Use It on Weak Items:
- Only apply it to high-quality rings or amulets that are crucial to your build.
Max Out the Quality:
- Keep applying Reaver Catalysts until the item reaches 20% quality for the best attack-related boost.

Example

If you’re playing a melee fighter and need more damage output:
- Apply Reaver Catalyst to a ring with "+15% to physical damage."
- The Catalyst increases the physical damage bonus, letting you hit harder during fights.

The Reaver Catalyst is perfect for improving attack-related stats on your gear. It’s a must-have for builds that focus on physical damage, attack speed, or accuracy in Path of Exile 2. Use it strategically to optimize your damage and performance!
