===Weapon Variants===
 
===Weapon Variants===
−
* Mainhand '''Dagger''' can be taken for more DPS, though the rotation involves rushing back and forth through the boss, which may not be practical.
+
* '''Scepter''' deals less DPS than '''Pistol''', but the rotation is much more forgiving.
−
* '''Staff''' will be more DPS on larger hitboxes.
+
* '''Scepter/Focus''' is the best weapon set for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure.
 +
* Mainhand '''Dagger''' can also be taken, though it is lower damage and the rotation involves standing inside the boss' hitbox, which may not be practical.
 +
* '''Staff''' is also an option, though it needs larger hitboxes to be competitive.
  
  
 
===Skill Variants===
 
===Skill Variants===
−
* {{skill|Glyph of Elemental Power}} instead of {{Skill|Glyph of Lesser Elementals}} for ease of use and less of a precasting requirement, at the cost of ~1700 DPS.
+
* {{Skill|Signet of Earth}} is similar DPS to {{skill|Glyph of Lesser Elementals}} if you are unable to start the fight with some elementals active. It could also be taken if you don't want to deal with the elemental AI, or if you want the damage reduction.
 +
** Be aware that the traited version from {{trait|Written in Stone}} still provides toughness, which may mess with tanking.
 +
** Starting with no elementals, it takes ~3 minutes for {{skill|Glyph of Lesser Elementals}} to overtake {{Skill|Signet of Earth}} in damage.
 +
** {{skill|Glyph of Lesser Elementals}} will be better if you can start with three elementals.
 
* {{skill|Aquatic Stance}} provides more group healing at the expense of personal healing.
 
* {{skill|Aquatic Stance}} provides more group healing at the expense of personal healing.
 
* {{Skill|Glyph of Elemental Harmony}} for more burst healing at the expense of sustained healing.
 
* {{Skill|Glyph of Elemental Harmony}} for more burst healing at the expense of sustained healing.
−
* If you'd prefer, you can use '''Dagger''' over '''Scepter''' for increased damage output. However, dagger is not a good idea for every encounter due to dashes in the rotation. The stats, traits and sigils used remain identical for both builds.

* {{sigil|Superior Sigil of Earth}}, {{sigil|Superior Sigil of Bursting}} and {{sigil|Superior Sigil of Torment}} all provide very similar damage, so any combination can be used.

===Equipment Variants===

Running {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Elementalist}} with 15 Malign and 3 Spiteful infusions would be a minor DPS loss, but would allow you to use ascended food such as {{food|Peppered Cured Meat Flatbread}} for their bonus effects.

===Non-SotO Relics===

Unfortunately there aren't any good core damage relics for condi weaver, so it is recommended to pick an option that offers some utility instead.

If using {{Skill|Glyph of Lesser Elementals (fire)}}, precast as many elementals as possible before the fight. Cast the skill in {{skill|Fire Attunement}} for fire elementals which apply tons of {{tooltip|Burning}}.

Rotations for both the Sword and Dagger mainhand versions involve frequent attunement swapping to maximize the usage of high-damage, low cooldown skills particularly whilst {{Skill|Weave Self}} is active. While it is ideal to follow the rotations in these examples, encounter mechanics may force you to adapt your rotation around them.

Rotations for all versions involve frequent attunement swapping to maximize the usage of high-damage, low cooldown skills particularly whilst {{Skill|Weave Self}} is active. While it is ideal to follow the rotations in these examples, encounter mechanics may force you to adapt your rotation around them.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
While the core loop is very simple, maximising damage depends on optimal use of {{skill|Weave Self}} - you want to start with an attunement to fire to get the 20% condition damage boost, then during the 20 second duration work in the other attunements without losing too much damage. Attuning to the final element (water) just as it will expire will grant Perfect Weave for a further 10 seconds and allow you extend the bonus to almost 30 seconds in total.
 +
 
 +
To keep the rotation more legible, autoattacks will not be included in general.

 +
<big>'''Weave Self'''</big><br>
 +
The majority of the {{skill|Weave Self}} section is very similar to the basic loop, but the basic loop takes ''slightly'' too long and so using it here would result in losing the buff just before attuning to Water. Hence some skills are skipped to make the first two loops faster. If in doubt, just attunement swap as soon as you can.

This boils down to rotating through {{skill|Fire Attunement}} {{to}} {{skill|Earth Attunement}} {{to}} {{skill|Fire Attunement}} and using other skills  off cooldown (see general tips below).
 +
 
 +
 
 +
The second time you reach {{skill|Weave Self}} you have to do the lead-in slightly differently. At step 8 in the basic loop, go to {{skill|Air Attunement}} instead, then:
 +
# {{skill|Lightning Strike}}
 +
# {{skill|Plasma Beam}}
 +
# {{skill|Arc Lightning}} - this is just to fill time so that you can immediately swap away from Air Attunement after casting {{skill|Weave Self}}
 +
# {{skill|Weave Self}}
 +
# Repeat from step 5 of the '''Weave Self''' opener
 +
 
 +
 
 +
As you won't have pre-cast {{skill|Rock Barrier}} this time, you'll need to use {{skill|Rock Barrier}} {{to}} {{Skill|Hurl}} instead at step 12 of the '''Weave Self''' opener

===Scepter/Focus Rotation===

{{skill|Transmute Fire}} is the flip skill of {{skill|Fire Shield}}. The latter will regularly activate during your rotation but the timing can vary. Whenever {{skill|Transmute Fire}} is used in the rotation be aware you may need to first activate {{skill|Fire Shield}} (Fire Shield is instance cast so just double tap it).

<big>'''Basic Loop'''</big><br>
 +
Hammer does not have a perfect loop, but the core structure remains the same. You attune to '''Dual Fire''', then '''Earth''', then back to '''Dual Fire'''.
 +
 +
During this, you use the following skills off cooldown:
 +
* {{skill|Surging Flames}} - use twice per loop, and delay swapping to {{skill|Earth Attunement}} until the second use
 +
* {{skill|Triple Sear}}
 +
* {{skill|Whirling Stones}}
 +
* {{skill|Ground Pound}}
 +
* All utility skills -  use {{skill|Glyph of Elementals}} in '''Fire''', and {{skill|Primordial Stance}} just before swapping to '''Earth''' Attunement
 +
* Use {{skill|Grand Finale}} just before the circular projectiles will expire, and immediately regain them with {{skill|Dual Orbits: Fire and Earth}}
 +
 +
 +
When {{skill|Weave Self}} is nearly ready, swap to {{skill|Air Attunement}} after {{skill|Earth Attunement}} and repeat the '''Weave Self''' section.

Overview

A condition DPS build for Weaver. This build has a complex rotation, but deals strong sustained damage through Burning Burning and Bleeding Bleeding, and has good access to CC and various utility skills.


Skill Bar

Pistol/Warhorn
Utility


Weapon Variants

  • Scepter deals less DPS than Pistol, but the rotation is much more forgiving.
  • Scepter/Focus is the best weapon set for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure.
  • Mainhand Dagger can also be taken, though it is lower damage and the rotation involves standing inside the boss' hitbox, which may not be practical.
  • Staff is also an option, though it needs larger hitboxes to be competitive.


Skill Variants

  • Signet of Earth is similar DPS to Glyph of Lesser Elementals if you are unable to start the fight with some elementals active. It could also be taken if you don't want to deal with the elemental AI, or if you want the damage reduction.
    • Be aware that the traited version from Written in Stone still provides toughness, which may mess with tanking.
    • Starting with no elementals, it takes ~3 minutes for Glyph of Lesser Elementals to overtake Signet of Earth in damage.
    • Glyph of Lesser Elementals will be better if you can start with three elementals.
  • Aquatic Stance provides more group healing at the expense of personal healing.
  • Glyph of Elemental Harmony for more burst healing at the expense of sustained healing.

  • Sigil of Superior Sigil of Earth, Sigil of Superior Sigil of Bursting and Sigil of Superior Sigil of Torment all provide very similar damage, so any combination can be used.


Non-SotO Relics

Unfortunately there aren't any good core damage relics for condi weaver, so it is recommended to pick an option that offers some utility instead.

Utility

Usage

If using Glyph of Lesser Elementals (fire), precast as many elementals as possible before the fight. Cast the skill in Fire Attunement for fire elementals which apply tons of Burning Burning.

Rotations for all versions involve frequent attunement swapping to maximize the usage of high-damage, low cooldown skills particularly whilst Weave Self is active. While it is ideal to follow the rotations in these examples, encounter mechanics may force you to adapt your rotation around them.


While the core loop is very simple, maximising damage depends on optimal use of Weave Self - you want to start with an attunement to fire to get the 20% condition damage boost, then during the 20 second duration work in the other attunements without losing too much damage. Attuning to the final element (water) just as it will expire will grant Perfect Weave for a further 10 seconds and allow you extend the bonus to almost 30 seconds in total.

To keep the rotation more legible, autoattacks will not be included in general.

Weave Self
The majority of the Weave Self section is very similar to the basic loop, but the basic loop takes slightly too long and so using it here would result in losing the buff just before attuning to Water. Hence some skills are skipped to make the first two loops faster. If in doubt, just attunement swap as soon as you can.

This boils down to rotating through Fire Attunement ⇒ Earth Attunement ⇒ Fire Attunement and using other skills off cooldown (see general tips below).


The second time you reach Weave Self you have to do the lead-in slightly differently. At step 8 in the basic loop, go to Air Attunement instead, then:

  1. Lightning Strike
  2. Plasma Beam
  3. Arc Lightning - this is just to fill time so that you can immediately swap away from Air Attunement after casting Weave Self
  4. Weave Self
  5. Repeat from step 5 of the Weave Self opener


As you won't have pre-cast Rock Barrier this time, you'll need to use Rock Barrier ⇒ Hurl instead at step 12 of the Weave Self opener

Transmute Fire is the flip skill of Fire Shield. The latter will regularly activate during your rotation but the timing can vary. Whenever Transmute Fire is used in the rotation be aware you may need to first activate Fire Shield (Fire Shield is instance cast so just double tap it).

Opener

The opener for Condi Weaver relies on maximising the effectiveness of Weave Self. Swapping to Fire Attunement provides 20% condi damage (Woven Fire) for the duration of Weave Self. Attuning to all four elements clears these effects and gives Perfect Weave for a further 10 seconds - providing all the buffs. Therefore, it is valuable to only attune to the final element at the last possible moment in order to gain nearly 30 seconds of the Woven Fire. If you have doubts about your speed or Alacrity/Quickness, then you can attune to Fire Attunement instead of Air Attunement at step 30 and then skip ahead to step 37 once Drake's Breath is available (not all skills will be available so it is important to cover as much of your time in Water Attunement as possible with the cast time of Drake's Breath).

Loop

Compared to the Weave Self section, the central loop is very simple. You bounce between Earth and Fire, bookending earth sections with Ring of Earth and fire sections with Drake's Breath.

  1. Earth Attunement into Earth/Earth
  2. Earthen Rush
  3. Impale (elementalist) until Ring of Earth is available
  4. Ring of Earth
  5. Fire Attunement into Fire/Earth

  14. Ring of Earth
  15. Impale (elementalist) until Transmute Fire is available
  16. Transmute Fire
  17. Return to start of loop


Weave Self

Performed perfectly with perfect boons, Weave Self will come off cooldown again in Earth/Earth and can immediately be used again. Below is an example Weave Self loop based on these assumptions. In practice, you may need to improvise somewhat but bear the following in mind:

  • You should either be in mainhand Fire Attunement, or immediately switch to Fire Attunement so that you gain Woven Fire.
  • As the Weave Self buffs last for approximately 30s, you may not wish to use it if the boss will phase before they expire.
    • If this is the case, you can start the next phase with the Opener.
  • If you have doubts about your speed or boons, you can delay using Weave Self until just before step 7.
  • Loop through Air early on so that, if you see the the Weave Self buff begin to flash, you can quickly attune to water to get Perfect Weave.

Basic Loop
Hammer does not have a perfect loop, but the core structure remains the same. You attune to Dual Fire, then Earth, then back to Dual Fire.

During this, you use the following skills off cooldown:

  • Surging Flames - use twice per loop, and delay swapping to Earth Attunement until the second use
  • Triple Sear
  • Whirling Stones
  • Ground Pound
  • All utility skills - use Glyph of Elementals in Fire, and Primordial Stance just before swapping to Earth Attunement
  • Use Grand Finale just before the circular projectiles will expire, and immediately regain them with Dual Orbits: Fire and Earth


When Weave Self is nearly ready, swap to Air Attunement after Earth Attunement and repeat the Weave Self section.


Video example rotation for Hammer by xChris


General tips

  • Use Primordial Stance off cooldown while in Fire/Fire, Earth/Fire, or Earth/Earth.
  • Use Glyph of Lesser Elementals (fire) off cooldown when in mainhand Fire.
  • Use Signet of Fire, Flamewall and Magnetic Wave off cooldown.


Breakbars

This build has access to CC options that are easier to use than Staff Weaver, however it still faces the problem of having to wait for two attunement swap cooldowns before gaining access to most of its CC skills.

  • Comet inflicts 200 breakbar damage.
  • Gale inflicts 400 breakbar damage and is your strongest CC skill.


For the Dagger build:

  • Katabatic Wind inflicts 150 breakbar damage but requires the awkward attunement combination of Air and Water. This should be saved for a last-resort option.

Pistol has added some real strength to condi weaver, though the rotation is one of the most complex in the game. While all variants are pretty skill-intensive, scepter is easy enough to give newer players a foothold, and glyph of lesser elementals allows for very high damage if you have enough time before the encounter to precast a bunch of them.

Wolfsen gave this build 5 stars • November 2023
An excellent build with a combinaison of very high dps and tankyness. As with most condi builds it won't work on every encounter but it's a real pleasure to use it when I can and it's much easier than sword or hammer. The only thing that might be a problem is its lack of cc in fire or earth attunement which will force you to swap to air or water for breakbars and thus will cause a major dps loss. So i usually bring sigil of earth instead of fire elementals if the team needs me to bring cc or ice bow if it's vital. Another good thing to know is that you can provide party-wide stability with the "rock solid" trait for a minor dps loss.

Vertox gave this build 5 stars • December 2022
Still a good build, even today, although it is powercrept by a plethora of other condi builds, primarily from EoD. CWeaver doesn't have any utility for the team, is incredibly difficult compared to easier, higher-dps condi specs from EoD, requires permanent alacrity for Weave Self rotations, complex Lesser Ele glyph precasting and constant unoptimal movements on dagger version of the build, due to Fire/Fire #3 and Earth/Earth #3. The main largest advantages of this build are it's top-tier condi burst and its ability to stick well to bosses, but this build also has high survivability thanks to dual attacks generating barrier, evade frames from skills, healing on skill use, etc. Update: Scepter, staff and weaver buffs made the build better than it was before, with both superior dps and ease of play compared to more old fashioned sword/focus and dagger/focus
5 stars
Walrus6390 gave this build 5 stars • June 2020
This build is currently the highest potential DPS in the game by far, clocking in at a whopping 43.8k with dagger! Despite its overwhelming power, condi weaver is seldom seen due to its high skill requirement. Dagger has limitations due to dashes and is therefore fairly niche. The sword variant can achieve 40.5k, which still beats every other DPS build. If you're looking for a high effort- high reward build, this is it.
