Overview
Condition weaver, as all weaver builds, is a fast paced build that requires constant attunement swapping. Thanks to the 
Earth traitline, it is slightly more tanky than power weaver. There are many weapons that can be used with this build, allowing the player to use whichever they prefer. It also features moderate burst damage (for a condition build) due to all the burning it inflicts.

Weapon Variants
There are many weapons that can be used for this build, and they're very similar in terms of damage. Chose whichever weapon you like best.
Scepter - we default to scepter for its range and AoE damage.
Sword - more evades, but melee-only; replaces Scepter
Mainhand Dagger - very good mobility, but melee-only; replaces Scepter
Pistol - single target alternative to Scepter (requires Weaponmaster Training with Secrets of the Obscure).
Staff - viable long range option, but loses the majority of its damage against moving targets since it relies in AoE fields, making it suboptimal for most fights.

Loop Priorities
- There are many viable loop patterns to use for weaver.
- The general idea is to focus on Fire-Fire as the "default". From there, loop into either Earth or Air, alternating between the two after each Fire-Fire.
- A suggested example is as follows:
- /
- Start combat with
- / <-- Loop starts here
- /
- /
- /
- /
- /
- Repeat the loop
- Quick Text Version: open with f/a to get in combat -> f/f -> e/f -> f/e -> f/f -> a/f -> f/a -> f/f (repeat)
- Your attunement presses will look like this: Fire(Opener)-Earth-Fire-Fire-Air-Fire-Fire
This can appear complex, but with only a few minutes of practice the loop becomes very rhythmic and most players will find it easy to follow.
