==Overview==
A long-ranged staff build for elementalist for open world farming with a zerg. This build is primarily focused on dealing area damage in group farms and does not function well solo. Most of the damage of this build comes from AoE pulsing ground attacks, so this build can struggle against very mobile targets.
+
A long-ranged staff build for {{Tooltip|Weaver}} for open world. This build will mostly spam {{Skill|Lava Font}} and is easy to play.
  
The build can be played as a weaver or as a tempest:
+
Unfortunately, staff is not a high damage weapon, but it offers some nice healing and utility to compensate, and is fully ranged.
* Weaver: this is the default variant, a fully ranged build with even more pulsing AoE ground attacks through {{Skill|Pyroclastic Blast}} and more long range attacks with {{Skill|Plasma Blast}}. On top of that, as a weaver, the cooldown for swapping attunements is much shorter, which greatly benefits this build that, while wanting to use different attunements like all elementalist builds, has the bast majority of its damage tied to Fire Attunement so it wants to return to Fire as soon as possible.

This build will work good enough for average open world and story content, but if you need to tackle harder challenges, consider other of our elementalist open world builds. Most of the damage of this build comes from AoE pulsing ground attacks, so this build can struggle against very mobile targets, and it lacks boon generation.
  
* Tempest: this variant has to be played in melee range but is simpler and provides more melee AoE attacks through {{Skill|Overload Fire}} and {{Skill|Overload Air}}, better tagging potential by using shouts like {{Skill|"Feel the Burn!"}} or {{Skill|"Aftershock!"}}, and some boons to your subgroup. However, it greatly suffers from the increased recharge to attunements. If you leave Fire Attunement, it goes on cooldown for 10 seconds, or 20 if you overload, and the bast majority of this build's damage comes from Fire Attunement. But if you never leave Fire Attunement, you obviously cannot cast skills from the other attunements. Tempest does have much more party support and team defense than weaver, which can make it the superior choice for certain farm groups.

Overview

A long-ranged staff build for Weaver Weaver for open world. This build will mostly spam

and is easy to play.

Unfortunately, staff is not a high damage weapon, but it offers some nice healing and utility to compensate, and is fully ranged.

This build will work good enough for average open world and story content, but if you need to tackle harder challenges, consider other of our elementalist open world builds. Most of the damage of this build comes from AoE pulsing ground attacks, so this build can struggle against very mobile targets, and it lacks boon generation.

Warming Hearth gave this build 4 stars • February 2025
A good build for staff lovers. I love all the AoE it has, though it takes a bit of practice to place them correctly and it can be a bit frustrating vs. enemies that move a lot. As the build mentions, it doesn't have the greatest damage and you should swap to another build if you want to tackle harder content. But it works great for casual open world and story content.
