'''Infusions'''
* A full set of {{UC/Mighty WvW Infusion|label=yes}} or {{UC/Malign WvW Infusion|label=yes}} is recommended, or a mix of both.

===Consumables===
'''Food'''

Yet again there are plenty of viable options:
* {{Food|Dragon's Revelry Starcake}} - food equivalent of Celestial, fits perfectly.
* {{Food|Plate of Truffle Steak}} - boost to direct damage.
* {{Food|Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew}} - combined with {{gw2skill|Vigor}} this pushes you near the endurance regen cap. Alternatively, if you're playing with {{Trait|Arcane Abatement}} this food can ease the loss of {{Trait|Renewing Stamina}}. The {{gw2skill|Might}} stacking is a nice added bonus.
** Budget version: {{Food|Bowl of Meat and Winter Vegetable Stew}}
* {{Food|Fried Golden Dumpling}} - some extra boon duration and {{gw2skill|Might}} stacking.


'''Utility'''
* {{Utility|Magnanimous Sharpening Stone}} - direct damage increase.
** {{Utility|Superior Sharpening Stone}} - same purpose, but easier to get.

==Usage==
'''Elite specialization basics''' 
*Weaver allows the Elementalist to attune to 2 elements at the same time, and skills 1-5 will be decided based on both. Let's call them ''primary'' and ''secondary'' attunements. 
*If you swap to {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} then fire becomes your primary attunement and weapon skills 1-2 will be fire skills. Afterwards if you switch to {{Skill|Water Attunement}} for example then water is now your primary attunement and fire's moved to secondary - now skills 1-2 are water and 4-5 are fire. Skill 3 is a dual skill influenced by both active attunements {{to}} fire + water for example is {{Skill|Twin Strike}}. 
*The order of the attunements doesn't matter here, water primary with fire secondary has the same dual attack as fire primary and water secondary. Attuning to the same element twice has its own dual skill.


'''General'''
* Applying {{gw2skill|Regeneration}} cleanses a condition. Gaining {{gw2skill|Swiftness}} and {{gw2skill|Superspeed}} applies Regeneration as well.
* In combat double attuning to the same element is usually not worth it, except for Air's {{Skill|Quantum Strike}} and very rarely Water to squeeze out some more sustain.
* Cycle fire -> air -> fire -> air to maintain Swiftness while roaming.
* Stances grant {{gw2skill|Stability}}, which has many uses including safe stomping downed enemies.


'''Rotations'''
* The '''defensive rotation''' is definitely something you should learn and utilize whenever heavy healing is needed:
# {{Skill|Water Attunement}} which also triggers {{Trait|Healing Ripple}} and grants {{gw2skill|Regeneration}}.
# Dodge in order to proc the water part of {{Trait|Evasive Arcana}} for healing and condition cleansing.
# {{Skill|Riptide}} for evasion, healing, and condition cleansing.
# {{Skill|Earth Attunement}}
# {{Skill|Earthen Vortex}} to blast the water field left behind by Riptide.
# {{Skill|Fire Attunement}}
# {{Skill|Lava Skin}} for the barrier and some counterpressure.
