Overview
A high skillcap Power Weaver roaming build for WvW, built around the 
导雷神针 trait. LR Weaver is all about spamming CCs for both defensive and offensive purposes, as CC skills do high damage while also applying 
虚弱. In this case the best defense is a good offense, as the goal of the build is to keep enemies constantly pressured via CC skills - they can't exploit your low sustain if they can't fight back.
Skill Bar
Skill Bar Variants
Utility
Viable choices for the 3rd utility slot include:
-
大地护甲 - great defensive skill and stun break on medium CD. -
地磁护盾 - several strong defensive skills all rolled into one conjure, including an invulnerability and a block. -
扭转命运 - powerful stun break with an evade frame but on a rather lengthy CD. The cooldown however doesn't matter that much if you're able to end fights quickly.
Elite
自我编织 - slightly lower CD than Tornado and has LR synergy. Good for setting up kills, could also be used defensively on Earth for damage mitigation. Tornado however offers more mobility and more CC.

Sigils
超级吸收法印 can be replaced by:
-
超级空气法印 - consistent damage proc, and easier to get. -
超级虹吸法印 - extra damage/healing that fits the build perfectly. -
超级能量法印 - refills a dodge bar every ~10 seconds when you swap attunements, great defensive option. -
超级慷慨法印 - better defense against conditions, something the build struggles against.
Relics
克达之爪古物 - on this build both of Claw and Fireworks perform roughly the same. Between 4 attunements and a CC focused weapon set there are plenty of triggers for both relics, you should have nearly permanent uptime on the damage boost with either of these options.
Runes
-
超级学者符文 - if you want to go all in on damage. -
超级全息师符文 - retains some sustain from the current rune, but squeezes in a bit more pressure. It's also easier to get.
Consumables
Food
There are plenty of viable choices:
-
黑胡椒粉真空烹调肉排 - passive damage mitigation and strong offensive stats. -
怪异莓幽灵 - armor ignoring damage and a bit of extra healing, a suitable budget option. -
碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲 - defensive option with more evasion.- Budget version:

Utility
Usage
Elite specialization basics
-
Weaver Weaver allows the Elementalist to attune to 2 elements at the same time, and skills 1-5 are decided based on both. Let's call them primary and secondary attunements.
-
If you swap to
火焰协调 then Fire becomes your primary attunement and weapon skills 1-2 will be fire skills. Afterwards if you switch to 
流水协调 for example then Water is now your primary attunement and Fire's moved to secondary - now skills 1-2 are Water and 4-5 are Fire. Skill 3 is a dual skill created by a combination of your active attunements - Fire + Water for example is 
蒸汽涌动. -
The order of the attunements doesn't matter here, Water primary with Fire secondary has the same dual attack as Fire primary and Water secondary. Attuning to the same element twice gives you access to the "core" skill of the weapon, the skill you'd have if you weren't a Weaver.
General
-
再生纹章 should seldom be touched, as the passive is extremely valuable. Note that several trait procs also count as skill activations and will benefit from the passive of this signet.- Unless you either have a high amount of
困惑 on you, or you're already at maximum health, you should always be casting something (autoattacks will do too). This is to get the most out of this signet's passive.
- Unless you either have a high amount of
-
If taken
扭转命运 can be cancelled by stowing your weapon in rare cases when the full evasion isn't needed (let's say you have to cleave a downed target and must keep the pressure up, but had to break stun).
Damage
-
导雷神针 is the bread and butter of this build, causing every CC effect in the build to add to your damage. The general playstyle revolves around weaving together hard hitting skills such as
等离子爆破 with CC for burst damage. -
Your most dangerous skills tend to be dual skills, especially those related to
空气协调: -
能量汇聚 has a delay, you could combo this with other high damage skills like 等离子爆破 or 
下沉寒风 for a quick burst. -
If taken Attuning to the same element twice grants
愤怒元素, which is a decent damage increase. 
揭秘 makes obtaining this buff easier. Best attunements to double attune to are Air and Fire. -
空气协调 is the most important one in the build and should be attuned to often, both for damage and sustain. 能量汇聚 alone could provide a ~50% AoE Weakness uptime and it does really good damage, while
闪电鞭击 is the go-to cleave skill in the build. -
飓风形态 is good at finishing off low HP targets, making sure they don't get to heal up while also damaging them with 导雷神针 procs. This works on downed targets too so you could use it to disrupt rez attempts. Even if enemy players have 
稳固 or a Guardian is casting 
仁慈纹章 Tornado could launch the downed enemy into the distance to deny it.
Burst combo examples
Water primary, Earth secondary
Air primary, Earth secondary
Air primary, Fire secondary (ranged burst)
Sustain
-
导雷神针 plays a major part here as well, constantly mitigating damage trough Weakness spam.
-
Sustain's low in general, especially when it comes to handling conditions. Cleansing is limited to your sigil, dodging on
流水协调, and 
磁力脉动. Perhaps your best tool against conditions is 
黑曜石肤, which makes you immune to incoming conditions and causes you not to take damage from the ones already on you for its duration.- Earth #4-5 in general are some of your strongest defensive tools. Due to their placement on the skill bar however, as a Weaver you may not gain access to these skills immediately when swapping to
大地协调. This can be solved by using 揭秘 in case of emergency. Unravel's also great for grabbing 
电击光环 on 空气协调.

-
奔驰疾速 from 
风灵附体 lets you kite melee opponents should you need some breathing room. -
Swapping to Earth is an instant source of
保护, you can do this even while stunned. -
蒸汽涌动 (Fire/Water) creates a Water field with a very short duration, but it's just enough to blast for a bit of extra healing if you swap to Air right after with either 等离子爆破 or 下沉寒风.
-
Some of the dual skills have baked in defenses, like damage reduction on
漫天飞石, Blind on 
灰烬爆破 or evasion on 蒸汽涌动. -
If you're on Water primary and Earth secondary you could use
泥潭滑行, swap to Fire, and follow up with 蒸汽涌动 to build distance while evading attacks. -
Earth and Air have some great skills for fighting ranged projectile users:
回旋风流 on Air secondary, 
尖刺石环 on Earth primary, and 磁力脉动 on Earth secondary. -
电光火石 is an excellent panic button. With this (and good reaction times) you can teleport out of harm's way all the way to the highground or leave fights altogether. -
飓风形态 could be used to disengage from fights. Skill #5 is a great mobility skill that also does AoE CC, and using the elite procs
秘法护盾 which can block a couple of attacks.
