Overview

A strike-based weaver build for open world. Weaver is notable for its complexity and fast paced playstyle. Once mastered, however, you will be rewarded with very high burst damage and a fluid and fun combat.

Its weakness is its fragility, requiring the player to make good use of their evades and mind their positioning; and its complexity to play.

Sword/Dagger

Utility

Weapon Variants

Warhorn Warhorn replaces dagger. Less damage but more utility. Requires weaponmaster training with Secrets of the Obscure.
Staff Staff - ranged damage with some good Dual skills, but low overall damage.
Spear Spear - not recommended because the Dual skills are very bad.

Skill Variants

Heals

We default to 再生纹章 as it provides good passive healing and works great with weaver's fast-paced playstyle, but very weak heal on demand, leaving you vulnerable to burst damage. Other alternatives are:

元素和谐雕文 - strong burst healing and a boon based on attunement.
秘法绚爆 - weak heal by default, but is greatly increased if it strikes nearby enemies. Performs a blast finisher, and heals for more when doing so. Excellent synergy with water combo fields. (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields).
幻光恢复 - very high healing and condition removal throughout its long channelling time. Great option for raw healing if you can afford the cast time, and it also regenerates enough endurance for one dodge.

Utilities

原始姿态 is good source of damage. 风暴雕文 provides good area damage or utility. 扭转命运 is a good low-cooldown stunbreak.

秘法护盾 - alternative to Twist of Fate that blocks attacks.
元素能量雕文 - very flexible skill that can do damage, or cleanse conditions, or daze enemies, or give barrier, depending on your current attunement, and breaks stun.
净化烈焰 - condition cleanse and stun break.
电光火石 - mobility.
岩石共振 - defensive barrier and stability.
秘法爆弹 - if you don't need any utility or stunbreak, take Arcane Blast for extra damage.

Elites

自我编织 provides a large damage increase which can be sacrificed for great crowd control.

元素雕文 - creates a summon, good option for hard fights. Cast it in fire for damage, tanking in earth or sustain in water.

Specializations

Variants

狂风巨作 - extra damage if you don't need the fury from Zephyr's Boon.

If you are gearing this character from zero, start with exotic quality gear. Search the trading post for "Zhed" armor, "Bonetti's Rapier" sword, "Usoku's Needle" dagger, "Kodanroar" warhorn. Upgrade to ascended gear as you progress. See also: Guide:How to Gear a Character.

Dagger can be replaced with warhorn to trade damage for more support. Requires weaponmaster training with Secrets of the Obscure.
You can use 萨奇洛斯古物 to trade a minor amount of damage for sustain, 骑兵古物 to start combat with boons, or 耐久古物 for a little extra defense.
For defense, equip the highest tier Jade Core you can afford. Use defensive food or skills if required.

Consumables

Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.

Usage

Damage

Basics

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

Rotate between 火焰协调 and 空气协调, making sure to double-attune to each when possible.
Use blast finishers in Fire Fields to generate 威能
Use 原始姿态 in 空气协调 to apply 易伤
风驰电掣, 烈焰之攫 and 大地翻腾 will activate 烟花古物. (the relic doesn't care about the cooldown reduction from 火使训练 or 风使训练).
This build centers itself around maintaining several buffs in order to skyrocket its damage. These are 超级元素, 迅速复仇, 愤怒元素, 火使训练, 长效怒火, and 烟花古物. In order to accomplish this, you want to maximize uptime on 迅捷, 虚弱, and 燃烧 as well as typical offensive buffs ( 易伤, 威能, 激怒), using long-cooldown skills such as 风驰电掣 and 烈焰之攫 to proc 烟花古物, and juggling double-attunements when possible. This can be a lot to take it at once, so go slow learning this build. It's very simple once you get the rhythm for it, but can be overwhelming at first.

Opener

Start in 空气协调 / 空气协调. Use 原始姿态 in 空气协调. Fill any gaps with auto-attacks.

This opener is a somewhat simplified version of the standard Weave Self opener.

From here, use the loops below to determine a loose priority for skills.

Priority Loops

After your opener, refer to the loose priority loops below. Use 烈焰漩涡 off cooldown, other than 狂风打击.

火焰协调:

烈焰之攫 - for damage and 烟花古物, but ensure the enemy is 燃烧 first to deal higher damage.
火焰升腾
烧灼打击

空气协调:

量子打击
风驰电掣
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:

Weave Self

There are two ways to use 自我编织. 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 敏捷 due to the altered recharge.

For a simplified method of using 自我编织, simply use the skill and then ensure you double-attune to both Fire Attunement Fire Attunement and Air Attunement 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 元素雕文 instead. This is a DPS loss but provides a summon to tank some damage for you.
