A power 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 fluid and fun combat.
Its weaknesses are its fragility, requiring the player to make good use of their evades and mind their positioning, and its complexity to play.

We default to 
再生纹章 as it provides good passive healing and works great with weaver's fast-paced playstyle, but it has a 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 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.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.
Other skills you can consider are:
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.provides a large damage increase for its duration. Can be replaced by a more defensive option.
This gearset is useful in all of PVE.
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. Upgrade to ascended gear as you progress. See also: Guide to Gear a Character.
Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.
The weaver's profession mechanic is weaving, letting you attune to two elements at once and combine their powers. Whenever you attune to a new element, it affects the first two weapon skills, and the previous element moves to affect the last two weapon skills. The third weapon skill, when attuned to two different elements, is a combination of both elements called a Dual Attack. Additionally, weavers have greatly reduced attunement cooldown.
There are several buffs you should aim to maintain to increase your damage. These are , , , , , and .
To accomplish this, you want to maximize uptime on , , and as well as typical offensive buffs ( , , ), using long-cooldown skills such as and to proc , 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.
When fighting bosses and other durable enemies, follow this opener to make the most out of . Start in / . Use in .Fill any gaps with auto-attacks.
