Usage

Damage

Basics

This is an oversimplification. For a detailed guide on how to properly deal damage with Condition Weaver, see The Raid Build

Rotate between Fire Attunement and Air Attunement, making sure to double-attune to each when possible.
Use blast finishers in Fire Fields to generate Might
Use Primordial Stance in Air Attunement to apply Vulnerability
Use long-cooldown skills, such as Wildfire and Lightning Orb, to proc Relic of Fireworks

Opener

Start in Air Attunement / Air Attunement. Use Primordial Stance in Air Attunement.

Weave Self (Make sure you're in combat first)
Glyph of Storms
Lightning Orb - for Relic of Fireworks
Optional: Cyclone to group enemies.
Fire Attunement (F/A)
Flame Uprising
Pyro Vortex
Fire Attunement (F/F)
Wildfire - for Relic of Fireworks
Cauterizing Strike
[{Skill|Earth Attunement}} (E/F)
Lava Skin
Dust Storm - for Relic of Fireworks
Earthen Vortex
Fire Attunement (F/E)
Flame Uprising
Air Attunement (A/F)

Loops

After your opener, refer to the loose priority loops below. Use Pyro Vortex off cooldown, other than Gale Strike.

Fire Attunement:

Wildfire - for Relic of Fireworks
Flame Uprising
Cauterizing Strike

Air Attunement:

Lightning Orb - Relic of Fireworks / Vulnerability
Quantum Strike
Try not to interrupt auto-attack chains.

Double-attune to each element off cooldown, but never camp one attunement. Other strong skills you can use include:

Twin Strike
Lava Skin

Weave Self

There are two ways to use Weave Self. To learn the full loop, review the raid build listed above for detailed information on the rotation, though note you may need to remove some auto-attacks from it if you lack Alacrity due to the altered recharge.

For a simplified method of using Weave Self, simply use the skill and then ensure you double-attune to both Fire Attunement and Air Attunement as soon as possible. This doesn't grant you the full duration, but it does give you much higher damage for a period of time.

Alternatively, use Glyph of Elementals instead. This is a small DPS loss but provides a huggable friend.

Defense

Riptide - evade + heal + water field
Aqua Siphon - heal
Tidal Surge - heal
Water Globe - heal + water field
Earthen Vortex - evade
Sand Squall - Magnetic Aura + Protection
Dust Storm - area Blindness
Blast water fields to heal

Crowd Control

Tidal Surge
Cyclone - very good for grouping trash into your Lightning Orb.
Polaric Leap
Gale Strike

-'''General'''
+====Loops====
-This build relies heavily on cycling between {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} and {{Skill|Air Attunement}} while double attuning to each in order to maintain {{Trait|Elements of Rage}}. {{Skill|Water Attunement}} and {{Skill|Earth Attunement}} are typically only used for defense or crowd control.
+After your opener, refer to the loose priority loops below. Use {{Skill|Pyro Vortex|Dual Attacks}} off cooldown, other than {{Skill|Gale Strike}}.
-'''Damage'''
+{{Skill|Fire Attunement}}:
-This build is quite easy to deal damage with if you follow this skill priority based on your attunement:
+# {{Skill|Wildfire}} - for {{Tooltip|Relic of Fireworks}}
-* Air/Air: Prioritize {{Skill|Quantum Strike}} and AA Chains
+# {{Skill|Flame Uprising}}
-* Fire/Air: {{Skill|Flame Uprising}} > {{Skill|Pyro Vortex}} > {{Skill|Ride the Lightning}}
+# {{Skill|Cauterizing Strike}}
-* Fire/Fire: {{Skill|Fire Grab}} > {{Skill|Ring of Fire (elementalist)}} > {{Skill|Flame Uprising}} > {{Skill|Cauterizing Strike}}
-* Air/Fire: AA Chains
-If you wind up in Water:
+{{Skill|Air Attunement}}:
-* {{Skill|Twin Strike}} > Water AA Chain > {{Skill|Shearing Edge}}
+# {{Skill|Lightning Orb}} - {{Tooltip|Relic of Fireworks}} / {{Tooltip|Vulnerability}}
+# {{Skill|Quantum Strike}}
+# Try not to interrupt auto-attack chains.
-Earth:
+Double-attune to each element off cooldown, but never camp one attunement. Other strong skills you can use include:
-Earth actually has a few useful blast finishers which can help with might if you have a fire field down
+* {{Skill|Twin Strike}}
-* {{Skill|Earthquake}} > {{Skill|Lava Skin}} Try to leave earth as soon as possible
+* {{Skill|Lava Skin}}
-Ideally you'll use your {{Skill|Primordial Stance}} in Air for {{Tooltip|Vulnerability}}, though if a mob is already capped on vuln using it in Fire is higher DPS. Try not to interrupt your AA chains in Air, it's fine to interrupt fire if a big skill is about to come off cooldown.
+====Weave Self====
+There are two ways to use {{Skill|Weave Self}}. To learn the full loop, review the raid build listed above for detailed information on the rotation, though note you may need to remove some auto-attacks from it if you lack {{Tooltip|Alacrity}} due to the altered recharge.
+For a simplified method of using {{Skill|Weave Self}}, simply use the skill and then ensure you double-attune to both {{Tooltip|Fire Attunement}} and {{Tooltip|Air Attunement}} as soon as possible. This doesn't grant you the full duration, but it does give you much higher damage for a period of time.
-'''Defense'''
+Alternatively, use {{Skill|Glyph of Elementals}} instead. This is a small DPS loss but provides a huggable friend.
-Sword/Dagger's defense is somewhat low.
-* {{Skill|Riptide}} - heal and evade
-* {{Skill|Frost Aura}} - damage reduction
-* {{Skill|Cleansing Wave}} - condi cleanse
-* {{Skill|Earthen Vortex}} - evade & blast finisher
-Focus has significantly more defensive options & CC, though loses DPS:
+===Defense===
-* {{Skill|Magnetic Wave}}, {{Skill|Swirling Winds}} - projectile hate
+* {{Skill|Riptide}} - evade + heal + water field
-* {{Skill|Obsidian Flesh}} - invuln
+* {{Skill|Aqua Siphon}} - heal
+* {{Skill|Tidal Surge}} - heal
+* {{Skill|Water Globe}} - heal + water field
+* {{Skill|Earthen Vortex}} - evade
+* {{Skill|Sand Squall}} - {{Tooltip|Magnetic Aura}} + {{Tooltip|Protection}}
+* {{Skill|Dust Storm}} - area {{Tooltip|Blindness}}
+* Blast water fields to heal
-'''Crowd Control'''
+===Crowd Control===
-* {{Skill|Updraft}}
+* {{Skill|Tidal Surge}}
-* {{Skill|Earthquake}}
+* {{Skill|Cyclone}} - very good for grouping trash into your {{Skill|Lightning Orb}}.
+* {{Skill|Polaric Leap}}
 * {{Skill|Gale Strike}}
