:'''Food'''
+
Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.
−
* Any ascended food is superior to any other food you could use. Steak for power, flatbread for conditions. Budget versions of these foods exist and are acceptable.
 
−
* {{food|Peppermint Omnomberry Bar}} - farming

* {{food|Koi Cake}} - DPS

* {{Food|Plate of Beef Rendang}} / {{Food|Bowl of Truffle Risotto}}

====Damage====
+
==Usage==
−
'''General DPS'''
+
===Damage===
−
* Spam all of your fire and earth skills.
+
* Focus primarily on {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} and {{Skill|Earth Attunement}}.
−
* You can combine {{Skill|Lava Skin}}, {{Skill|Glyph of Elemental Power}}, and {{Skill|Primordial Stance}} with {{Skill|Obsidian Flesh}} for a large burst of damage while you are invulnerable.
+
* {{Skill|Air Attunement}} can be used to apply {{Tooltip|Vulnerability}}.
−
* Try not to interrupt your AA chain in fire, and try to avoid having to AA for extended periods at any point.
+
* Double Attune to elements to proc {{Trait|Elements of Rage}}
−
 
+
* Constantly swap elements to proc {{Trait|Weaver's Prowess}}
−
'''Skill Priority'''
+
* Use {{Skill|Primordial Stance}}, {{Skill|Signet of Fire}}, and {{Skill|Glyph of Elemental Power}} off cooldown.
−
 
+
* Summon {{Skill|Glyph of Elementals}} in Fire and activate its skill off cooldown.
−
This build operates off of a generic skill priority depending on your current attunements. Fill any empty space with auto-attacks, only delaying attunement swaps for Fire autos.
 
−
You have five primary attunement combinations to worry about. You will want to swap between these, usually opening in Air/Fire or Earth/Fire so you can rapidly get to Fire/Fire for the dual attunement buff. 
 
−
 
 
−
'''Fire/Fire'''
 
−
# {{Skill|Flamewall}}
 
−
# {{Skill|Flame Uprising}}
 
−
# {{Skill|Cauterizing Strike}}
 
−
# {{Skill|Fire Shield}}
 
−
# {{Skill|Transmute Fire}} - use only against single targets; against groups it is better to keep fire aura unless you need {{Tooltip|Might}}
 
−
 
 
−
'''Fire/Earth'''
 
−
# {{Skill|Flame Uprising}}
 
−
# {{Skill|Magnetic Wave}} (to blast might)
 
−
# {{Skill|Lava Skin}}
 
  
−
'''Earth/Fire'''
+
====Loop Priorities====
−
# {{Skill|Flamewall}}
+
* There are many viable loop patterns to use for weaver.
−
# {{Skill|Lava Skin}} (if not used in F/E)
+
* 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.
−
# {{Skill|Earthen Vortex}}
+
* A suggested example is as follows:
−
# {{Skill|Fire Shield}}
+
# {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} / {{Skill|Air Attunement}}
−
# {{Skill|Transmute Fire}} - use only against single targets; against groups it is better to keep fire aura unless you need {{Tooltip|Might}}
+
# Start combat with {{Skill|Lightning Orb}}
 +
# {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} / {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} <-- Loop starts here
 +
# {{Skill|Earth Attunement}} / {{Skill|Fire Attunement}}
 +
# {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} / {{Skill|Earth Attunement}}
 +
# {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} / {{Skill|Fire Attunement}}
 +
# {{Skill|Air Attunement}} / {{Skill|Fire Attunement}}
 +
# {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} / {{Skill|Air Attunement}}
 +
# 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
  
−
'''Earth/Earth'''
+
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.
−
# {{Skill|Rust Frenzy}}
 
−
# {{Skill|Earthen Vortex}}
 
−
# Get out of earth/earth as fast as possible. It is sometimes even better to skip this if Earthen Vortex is already on cooldown before you would swap.
 
  
−
'''Air/Fire'''
+
====Fire Priority====
−
# {{Skill|Pyro Vortex}}
+
# {{Skill|Wildfire}}
−
# {{Skill|Flamewall}}
+
# {{Skill|Dragon's Tooth}}
−
# {{Skill|Fire Shield}}
+
# {{Skill|Phoenix}}
−
# {{Skill|Transmute Fire}} - use only against single targets; against groups it is better to keep fire aura unless you need {{Tooltip|Might}}
+
# {{Skill|Heat Sync}}
−
# {{Skill|Polaric Leap}} inside {{Skill|Flamewall}} or {{Skill|Flame Uprising}} for Fire Aura
 
  
 +
====Air Priority====
 +
# {{Skill|Lightning Orb}}
 +
# {{Skill|Lightning Strike}}
  
−
====Utilities====
+
====Earth Priority====
−
Two of your utilities change drastically depending on your current attunement, and its important to consider what attunement is best to use them in. In general, applying {{Tooltip|Vulnerability}} or {{Tooltip|Burning}} with them is the best option.
+
# {{Skill|Fracturing Strike}}
 +
# {{Skill|Dust Storm}}
 +
# {{Skill|Rock Barrier}} {{to}} {{Skill|Hurl}}
  
−
* {{Skill|Glyph of Elemental Power}} - this glyph provides considerable vulnerability in a quick burst if used in {{Skill|Air Attunement}} mainhand. Generally, you should strive to use it in Air unless your enemies are already capped on Vuln. If that's the case, use it in {{Skill|Fire Attunement}}. Try to avoid using this in {{Skill|Earth Attunement}} as it is a large DPS loss.
+
===Defense===
−
* {{Skill|Primordial Stance}} - this skill obeys the same rules as above but with an added layer of complexity; it applies two conditions when you are attuned to two different attunements as it takes into account both your mainhand and offhand, rather than just your mainhand. As such, use this skill in Air/Fire ideally for vuln, though you can use it in Fire/Fire for large amounts of burn. It is generally worth delaying this skill by a few seconds to get into Air/Fire, but not worth more than a 2-3 second delay. This can also be used in Earth/Earth or Earth/Fire.
+
* {{Skill|Glyph of Elementals}} - Earth and Water are strong tank pets
−
* {{Skill|Signet of Fire}} - just cast this off cooldown.
+
* {{Skill|Signet of Restoration}} - passive heal
 +
* {{Skill|Sand Squall}} - reflect projectiles
 +
* {{Skill|Dust Storm}} - aoe {{Tooltip|Blind}}
 +
* {{Skill|Rock Barrier}} - barrier + toughness
  
−
 
+
====Crowd Control====
−
====Defense====
 
−
* Projectile Hate: {{Skill|Magnetic Wave}}, {{Skill|Swirling Winds}}
 
−
* {{Skill|Obsidian Flesh}} - invuln
 
−
* Water AA's & {{Skill|Signet of Restoration}} provide considerable healing when necessary
 
−
* Dodging or activating a stance grants Barrier when using the applicable traits
 
−
* Swapping to Water gives an evade and water combo field that can be then comboed with any of the other Attunement slot 2 skills.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
====CC====
 
 
* {{Skill|Gale}}
 
* {{Skill|Gale}}
−
* {{Skill|Polaric Leap}}
+
* {{Skill|Polaric Leap}} (Sword)
 
* {{Skill|Gale Strike}}
 
* {{Skill|Gale Strike}}
−
* {{Skill|Weave Self}}
+
* {{Skill|Weave Self}} {{to}} {{Skill|Tailored Victory}}
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Variants==
 
−
====Solo Builds====
 
−
* Solo builds coming soon ...
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
====Weapon Variants====
 
−
* Sceptre - Ranged option with relatively simple rotation.
 
−
* Staff - Tagging weapon in open world zergs. It is recommended to swap Earth traitline to Air for this variant.
 
−
* Offhand Dagger - less damage/utility but greater mobility.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
====Skill Variants====
 
−
'''Damage'''
 
−
* {{Skill|Glyph of Storms}} - AoE burst damage from {{Skill|Firestorm}} or pulsing blind with {{Skill|Sandstorm}}.
 
−
* {{Skill|Glyph of Elementals}} - flame elemental provides high DPS (be sure to use the command skill on CD where possible) while water and earth give you a reliable front line.
 
−
* {{Skill|Glyph of Lesser Elementals}} - similar to the above, however this skill allows you to summon multiple weaker elementals. Can be awkward to use due to setup delay and the summons disappearing upon mounting up or entering water.
 
−
* {{Skill|Arcane Brilliance}} - blast finisher.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Defense / Sustain'''
 
−
* {{Skill|Glyph of Elemental Harmony}} - burst heal.
 
−
* {{Skill|Stone Resonance}} - provides additional barrier and stability; gives the build a wide margin for error
 
−
* {{Skill|Arcane Shield}} - breaks stun and blocks attacks.
 
−
* {{Skill|Twist of Fate}} - fantastic stunbreak
 
−
* {{Skill|Signet of Earth}} - decent single-target DPS and provides extra durability
 
−
 
 
−
'''Utility'''
 
−
* {{Skill|Lightning Flash}} - for mobility.
 
−
* {{Skill|Conjure Fiery Greatsword}} - high AoE damage on a long cooldown, mobility
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
====Trait Variants====
 
−
* {{Trait|Blinding Ashes}} - more {{Tooltip|Blind}} if having trouble with trash mobs.
 
−
* {{Trait|Bolstered Elements}}, {{Trait|Invigorating Strikes}} - drastic increase in defense at the cost of damage; this option is extremely strong with the {{Tooltip|Celestial}} variant.
 
−
* If not taking {{Trait|Weaver's Prowess}}, it is recommended to replace {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Earth}} with {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Smoldering}}
 
−
 
 
−
'''Arcane'''
 
−
Arcane can be taken in place of Earth for an increase to active defense and boon support.
 
−
{{Specialization|Arcane|bot|mid|top|variant=y}}
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
'''Air'''
 
−
Air can be taken in place of Earth for a boost to strike damage. Use only with high-power variants.
 
−
{{Specialization|Air|bot|mid|mid|variant=y}}
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
====Variant Equipment====
 
−
'''Stats'''
 
−
* {{Tooltip|Celestial}} - Versatile gear set that does not lose much DPS compared to {{Tooltip|Viper}} thanks to the additional boon duration. This can be run with {{Trait|Bolstered Elements}} and {{Trait|Invigorating Strikes}} for a massive increase to defense at a loss of roughly 30% DPS.
 
−
* {{Tooltip|Trailblazer}} - Defensive set that trades about 15-20% DPS for +300% effective HP. This gearset is very expensive and should not be taken as your first set. Should be run with {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Nightmare}} or {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Undead}}.
 
−
* {{Tooltip|Dire}} - budget {{Tooltip|Trailblazer}}; this should be used with {{Rune|Superior Rune of Balthazar}} or {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Undead}} and {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Smoldering}}.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Runes'''
 
−
* {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Weaver}} - defensive runes, has extreme synergy with {{Tooltip|Celestial}} gear
 
−
* {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Renegade}} - budget DPS
 
−
 
 
−
'''Sigils'''
 
−
* {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Cleansing}} - helps with condi cleanse
 
−
* {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Energy}} - strong defensive option
 
−
* {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Strength}} - option for more might generation outside of fire attunement in longer fights.

  • Air Attunement can be used to apply Vulnerability Vulnerability.
  • Double Attune to elements to proc Elements of Rage
  • Constantly swap elements to proc Weaver's Prowess
  • Use Primordial Stance, Signet of Fire, and Glyph of Elemental Power off cooldown.
  • Summon Glyph of Elementals in Fire and activate its skill off cooldown.

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:
  1. Fire Attunement / Air Attunement
  2. Start combat with Lightning Orb
  3. Fire Attunement / Fire Attunement <-- Loop starts here
  4. Earth Attunement / Fire Attunement
  5. Fire Attunement / Earth Attunement
  6. Fire Attunement / Fire Attunement

  11. 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.

Fire Priority

  1. Wildfire
  2. Dragon's Tooth
  3. Phoenix
  4. Heat Sync

An amazing build! Deals a lot of damage against enemies and probably my favorite for now to play Elementalist with!

Vicmont82 gave this build 5 stars • September 2022
I was pretty frustrated with most builds until i tried this. Really good for solo(arcane) and great for groups(earth).

Linera gave this build 5 stars • January 2021
My all time favorite ele build. Feels much more dynamic and fast-paced when compared to any tempest build, pair that with above average self-healing, and the ability to kill most trash mobs with the single press of a button, and you get a fun, fast, powerhouse of a elementalist that can take on even some more difficult content.
5 stars
Jack Armstrong gave this build 5 stars • December 2020
One of my top 3 favorite builds right now, the others being Condi Mirage (melee) and Shortbow Renegade. Very configurable: multiple good weapon choices, and you could probably do well with any utility skills you want, though the ones listed here are likely the best choice for general use. Very durable, yet good damage. While switching stuff around, I ended up with 2 condi clears (Sigil of Cleansing and Diamond Skin trait) and found that, with those and of all the passive barrier and healing applications, I could kill pretty much all of the PoF repeatable hero points while hardly ever moving or dodging, usually losing little or no health in the process. Pretty easy to use, too: as long as you switch attunements often, you can kill stuff pretty quickly with almost random weapon and utility skill usage--though intelligent use gets better results, of course.

A really strong open world build for ele that's great in virtually all situations.
