Weaver - Power Weaver
The community gave this build a rating, making it top-tier: Great
Focused on: Strike damage
Designed for: Open World and Open World General
Overview
A strike-based weaver build for open world. Weaver is notable for its complexity and fast paced playstyle. Once mastered, however, you will be rewarded with very high burst damage and a fluid and fun combat.
Its weakness is its fragility, requiring the player to make good use of their evades and mind their positioning; and its complexity to play.
