Food You gotta be crazy to use expensive food when roaming, so here are some cheap food options:

Utility


Notes Celestial with dagger off hand fixes two important Issues that Weaver has. When playing power, Weaver heavily relies on to do damage, and when playing sage, Weaver heavily relies on and . The second issue comes from playing focus. Weaver does not allow you to use important focus skills such as , , , , , , reactively. Instead, it forces you to either sit in an attunement for longer than necessary, waiting for your opponent to use a skill, or use skills prematurely. If playing focus, is extremely useful, however it is tough to drop a utility for it, unless you are playing power and do not need

The type of build that, if played correctly, can make you immortal. Lots of sustained healing, mobility, evades and cc. Only thing it lacks is damage, but against squishier targets you can be pretty effective. Really not suited for anything other than roaming or small scale fights.

Strong sustain with underwhelming damage, celestial sw/d weaver lacks adequate dps to finish kills timely yet proves tanky enough to escape and survive many 1vX situations. Weaver lacks the ability to secure downs due in large part by lengthy rotations and the risk associated with double attuning -i.e., the potential number of skills on cooldown-. Assuming a target stays within range of primordial stance and other skills or assuming one can keep up with your opponent, there is the opportunity to build up sustained damage and secure kills.

As a celestial weaver, you will not burst down other roamers or groups nor will the bulk of your fights in your favor complete in a timely manner, however.

If the enemy pays attention, then a celestial sword weaver will rarely be the main reason they down. The rule of thumb for building into the celestial stat is to invest deeply into it to be effective. Anything beyond a minor tweak would mitigate or go against the whole reason for investing into celestial or else you risk greatly diminished performance. Builds that can build into sustain with less investment outperform cele weaver currently (e.g. a holo or spellbreaker make better damage sponges and outputting superior dps also, while even a stealth trapper druid poses a greater risk than a cele weaver). The build is viable, but no amount of tinkering will make this build great.

Nearly immortal in 1v1s, cele just works so well with weaver in WvW. It's up there in Spellbreaker tier when it comes to sustain. CC and mobility are quite good as well.

Damage is the only thing that's going to be a problem sometimes. Against opponents with similar level of sustain you may just end up in a neverending duel. Consumables may help you ease that a bit, or a couple of more offensive trinkets (Sinister or Viper, maybe? I'll try that later)

I have used this build with several changes quite a lot for both roaming, and zerg play. When playing in a zerg, I tend to run a more support based role for rezzez, protection, and healing, and while roaming, I can usually hold my own against even a 1v2. Definitely a very versatile build, but is not an absolute master of anything. Brings back the feeling of the old Celestial DD ele, but with a MUCH higher skill cap. This build will take a LOT of time to master, and am still learning new things and tweaking after a month of play in WvW and similar build in PvP. Stats are definitely adjustable depending on comp or personal preference.
