First things first. Do yourself a favor and if you're going for the mastery achievement do this during the race event and not via the adventure. They both count for the achievement, but for some reason the race event is a 4 minute timer for gold while the adventure is only 2.5 minutes. This was about as clean a run as I've been able to get so far and I would have maybe had 3 seconds to spare on...

LS2: The World Summit Achievement Guide
wooww what's the build?
It's linked in the comments below the video, although I would recommend a couple of changes to the linked build. Relic of the Claw released with Janthir Wilds expansion and is a little bit better than Relic of the Thief. Also, I used Clarion Bond here which is useless if you aren't swapping pets, so you can take Stoneform instead. It won't impact DPS, but it does give you a good defensive cooldown if needed.
If it was me, I'd probably be dead before the boss reach even 50% :D.
The main thing on this boss is not to get hit by the knockdown. You have enough evades, blocks, barrier/healing and CC to keep your health up while staying on offense otherwise. But with no stunbreak getting hit by the knockdown is pretty much game over.
Is Viper's over Celestial's for Hardcores only?
I guess you could say that. There's a lot less margin for error and you're only gaining maybe 20% DPS over celestial.
Additionally celestial already reaches the sweet spot for toughness so you are not proportionally wasting stats contratry to giver Celestial is THE stat for open world... especially for Ele If enough gold is available for a second equip slot aaand a full celestial set its always better ❤
@@Cross_111 On the other hand, this was 21% more damage than my celestial set on the same build and for the vast majority of open world including most champions I'm comfortable using Viper. So, like I do on Untamed, I tend to use the higher damage build most of the time, only switching to high sustain for where it's really needed. But for that I agree celestial is a great option!
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 very much true that most encounters in open world do not need that level of sustain I also tend to switch in open world between a pure power dps build for most content and switch to the tanky open world build/equipment when the situation demands it But from the standpoint of a newer or a bit less experienced player i definitely recommend a full fledged open world setup 🤗
Which relic would you use with this build?
Relic of the Fractal is the go-to choice for most condition builds since SotO. It adds a significant source of damage on a moderate cooldown. But there may be some other utility/sustain options available if you prefer. I just don't find I want for anything but more damage on cele weaver.
What makes this build so tanky without the Earth traitline? Is it simply because of the gear?
Sword/focus weaver is naturally pretty solid defensively (for an ele, anyway!), with two extra evades, two sources of projectile block/reflect, and constant light barrier and healing. Add to it some protection uptime, an additional source of block with final shielding, and extra heal on swap, and evasive arcana effects and using toughness/vitality gear it's pretty easy to sustain even against champions.
A destructive charr ranger. Never liked the ranger, ive been with gw2 since launch on and off. Charr never appealed to me. Watched your videos, rolled a charr ranger. SUBBED
Thanks! I admit it's a weird place to find myself. I've never been a fan of pet classes. Too passive, generally. But Untamed manages to make it feel like the pet is almost like just having extra skills on your bar. It's more interactive while having less reliance on passive pet mechanics. I also dislike cat people in video games because, like FFXIV for example, they tend to be weird hyper-sexualized furries. The Charr are great because they're decidedly not that way. They're grotesque and beastial, with a violent warlike culture to match! I can deal with this vision of cat people!
(glub)
Nice ^^
Looks good, feels good to use, and hits just hard enough to be appreciable. I think one of the downsides to Ranger is that you have so many options to be flexible, yet the moment you're lacking in _anything_ the playerbase will turn their noses up at it. Losing out on 2-3k damage seems to be offensive to some players, almost as offensive as using any other pet besides Jacaranda and Smokescale.
I tried more standard golem testing as well and the results were pretty meh, about 15% lower DPS than I saw on sword/axe. That tracks with this open world champion test where the difference is a bit less due to the short duration of the fight. But 15% is significant, especially when you consider the weapon is slower due to the stealth requirement and has less CC and utility. The slower attacks mean you can't squeeze those strikes in between enemy attacks as easily, and that really starts to impact DPS in these champion solo conditions. It's not terrible, but I definitely wouldn't pick spear over sword or hammer. I think it needs some work to make it worth choosing over these other weapons.
Nice one, but you still have Clarion Bond in your linked build. Isn't this supposed to be a no-swap build?
Sorry, I probably copy/pasted the build from another video and forgot to switch it. That trait choice is pretty much irrelevant in terms of output, so you're free to take stone form for an extra emergency button on your emergency button!
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 All good, that is what I did anyway. Just pointing it out for newer players wondering. Maybe change it to Stone Form in the build link, since that makes the most sense.
Imma need a waypoint for this one😂
amazing
I still learning too as I know focus on 2 and 3 while sealth and 4 for cc but when enemies drop 50 focus on 4 when sealth instaed of 3. I don't know I do well someone alight me 😂
I'll be honest, people are free to do whatever they want but I find this so unfair to those without these mounts. They'll never stand a chance to get first place like this...
If it's any consolation, I don't think there's any additional reward for coming in 1st place? And to offer an alternative POV, GW2's movement systems (i.e. mounts, gliders, and associated skills) are excellent and events like these offer an opportunity to put them to use!
wow, that is some good damage out there. Seems like spear is gonna change many meta builds. Depending on how it goes, I will probably get janthir before even getting SotO. Also, why in your videos it always shows "World of Warcraft" in the description instead of gw2? :D
Well, my sword DPS benchmark on this champion is 36.6k DPS...
such amazing fight!
I went back to viper weaver and I really enjoy the sword playstyle. Since I unlocked catalyst recently I wonder if you have any build with condi catalyst. I know they are more useful as power catalyst, but I saw some videos online of condi catalyst and I thought they were fun, just didn't show how it was built. But the thing I like about condi weaver is that I feel a great balance of survivability and damage, compared to other specs. I even enjoy condi tempest a lot more than power, it feels less clunky, while providing good alac.
Is sword higher damage on this build than scepter?
It's probably pretty similar, with advantage to scepter where bosses are difficult to stay on top of for 100% melee uptime. I just prefer sword. Plus videos would be pretty lame if I just kite around using scepter, right? :)
I wish they improve qol with Let Loose trait when you use engage skill its triger and coumt as weapon swap kinda annoy when in open world.
Just use my build! No Let Loose = problem solved!
Hi sir. I got question. I really follow your traiblazer build for weave. Condi. Wit rune trapper. Can i use all this build to catalyst?? . And 1more is, i saw u play now build u take out earth. U play fire arcane. Can explaint sir.. fire earth build not good anymore? For condi traiblazer build? Or can also wit fire arcane? Hope u can asnwer this 2 apreciate it tq..
You could use a similar build for catalyst, but catalyst being a more power-oriented spec I don't know that it will be an improvement. I use both fire/earth and fire/arcane. I think for trailblazer especially earth is better as you have the 10% conversion of toughness to condition damage.
@@HardcoreCasualGW2ok sir tq so much.. i started play this game and direct follow all ur trailbbzer build wit trapper rune.. im still newbie 3month. . I play scepter dagger for ur same build trailbzer trapper rune.. still can ya sir?
@@hizbullahawaludin6094 If the question is does the trailblazer fire/earth build work well with scepter/dagger? Yes, it does.
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 ok tq so much sir. I follow all ur build.. i tested it out on weaver is more dmg compare catalyts.. just weaver abit hard for me to play. So i just use all same build to cata.. 😨
Awesome
Weaver still exists?
Yes, and while it can't keep up with the best solo builds out there, as you can see it's not as bad as the community might have you believe.
"because I can" Oh you can indeed. Love watching your Weaver play, especially Viper cuz its high risk. Please do more. Mordrem champion (Archer) HP in the south-east of Tangled Depths or Mushroom Queen/Emperor without jade protocols would be a treat.
I have an old video up on the channel doing mushroom queen in grieving gear. It's just really not ideal because without either crazy high burst (like my untamed mushroom queen video) or high passive sustain and/or healing there is no way to stand at melee against her. You have no choice but to kite, which doesn't look or feel all that skillful. It's more fun when you have some high damage attacks you can actually avoid like with the frog or arrowhead!
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 oh perhaps a video on the Tangled Depths Mordrem Champion (archer) HP or another To Kill a God Balthazar fight with Viper gear? Just love watching your Weaver dance around bosses.
@@ivanicguildmember2844 I went ahead and got you a clip of "To Kill a God" on viper weaver. I don't think I have the patience to get one of the Archer. Since you can't control which of the three bosses spawn and any time a mordrem Desolator add spawns I basically just reset the fight and start over (gotta love adds that are invulnerable until they feel like letting you hit them but spam leap attacks that take half your health per hit!), plus the usual dealing with other players showing up in the middle of the fight.
oh no, you're back on weaver! i think you'd enjoy catalyst; it combines the complexity that you like on weaver with the sustain/survivability that you enjoy on untamed.
Does it, though? You have to give up too much for everything on catalyst. Want stability, increased damage, or passive stats? Sorry, no boons. You can take sustain utilities, too. But so can weaver...if you want to lose even more damage when your DPS is already way lower than something like untamed. Maybe I'm wrong? But I've yet to see a tanky solo catalyst doing better damage than weaver. What kind of DPS do you think catalyst can get in solo play?
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 Are you sure? Catalyst is widely known for spitting out most boons left and right, through the Arcane trait line, spamming jade spheres, and hammer orbs (if you take hammer). Can't argue against the damage factor, but like I said, the risk/reward factor is there in the complex high APM playstyle, and the tankiness is there thanks to Rocky Loop and Earth Jade Sphere
You have to figure if you're taking hammer that means you aren't taking sword/focus. Catalyst also lacks the condi boosts that weaver has, but if you go power can you match cele weaver's damage? But even then cele weaver is much tankier than berserker catalyst.
They already have some trait that can improve your dps and speed with swiftness and superspeed would be nice if they change to applie Quickness. Also I think they should not leave some ES to not provind neither alc or quick. As I know there still some trait that people ignore it for any mode maybe they can improve it.
I'm fine if it's just personal quickness. That would keep it in line with the "selfish DPS" concept. But at this point their quest to give every spec alac/quickness has resulted in most other specs having access to self-quickness/alac on their solo builds while weaver just gets shafted. Which is a shame because its arguably the spec that needs alac and quickness the most to really shine! It feels like you just can't fit your skills into those attunement swap windows without it!
I favour power untamed, and agree with what you're saying... In the meantime, have you tried Vindicator?.. I'm sure you have, but I thought I'd suggest it as it has the quickness and a fair amount of might. For me it's a close #2 to untamed.
Yeah, it seems to have the right stuff for a good build. I dunno, I guess I am not a huge fan of death drop though.
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 yeah, you either like that one or you don't.
why in the description it says world of warcraft? :D
You are my hero.
which of these weapons are locked into the weapon mastery from soto? I use soulbeast because I can actually use sword/axe and axe/warhorn without needing SoTO, wonder if this build would be useful to me if I went untammed.
For the purposes of this video, I included no weapon swap. You just camp sword/axe, which is a core weapon set. And just to clarify, unlike my usual open world content this is intended for use in raids/strikes.
What armor skins are you using?
Oh now there's a question! Mask of the Silent, Runic Hunter's Shoulders and Coat, Stalker Gloves, Obsidian Leggings, Rebel Long Boots, Banner of the Bastion of Strength, and the weapons are Honor of Humanity and Krytan Axe.
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 Nice. Even tho you can only see the back of your character, It still looks pretty cool 👍
What do you think of greatsword on Power Untamed?
Well darn, I didn't try that!
Okay, I tried it out. It seems to be well below hammer and sword, closer to axe in damage. It seems like it would have good opening burst, but is a bit lacking in sustained damage. Also did maces and they were in the same ballpark as greatsword and axe.
Greatsword sorta sucks on Untamed because it's balanced around the two handed training trait, which increases it's damage and decreases it's cooldowns. You've just tested it and found out the end result, and there generally isn't a good way to work greatsword onto untamed because beastmastery is that bad of a traitline. I think its important to note that swapping weapons generally relies on an increase in value elsewhere to be truly beneficial- as much as I want greatsword to be good on untamed, it doesn't provide much of anything that is uniquely useful. If you need a block, take White Tiger or Stone Spirit for the Aegis. If you need mobility, hammer and sword both have movement skills. Axes have minor utility in 900 range skills, but you want to be in melee for those axe 5s and the shotgun blast axe 2s. Maces are the only weapon (if you're going for efficacy) that I'd swap in for sword/axe, because maces provide boons and group healing that, while not super necessary, is untouchable by any other (effective) power weapon set on untamed, and can generate value with soloheal squad comps. Greatsword actually has one of the better unleash ambush skills, but it's not enough to offset what is effectively 10% less damage and 20% higher cooldown that builds that can run beastmastery (aka power soulbeast) get on greatsword.
@@rainbowturtle I came to the same conclusions. I just tested it because somebody asked about it. I do bring maces as a swap when using this build. They're good for trash clearing since sword is limited in number of targets and they also bring huge CC on top of the utility from defensive boons, healing, and barrier. This is all of limited use in group content, but it does come into play sometimes. But in my open world build maces are amazing as they provide extremely powerful sustain as well as powering quickness via Enhancing Impact. This allows me to take Ferocious Symbiosis for 25% damage boost instead of Let Loose while still maintaining quickness uptime!
Dont use skyscale in this event if they damage the conduits with it's breath they all explode and glitch out.
What a beast. Idk man, I think the maces are perfect. I know people think or say they’re overtuned but I think it’s in a great spot. Sorry to necro your old video
do you prefer Sw/Axe to Hammer?
I do, although for this purpose it's possible hammer could work better. I'm not sure.
If only I could do this to finally get the golden racing scarf
Faster ending : use all your dashes but one and perform a jackal launch trick once the finish line is in sight
Your timing on avoiding combst is great! Do you have upgraded Jade bot mount regen?
Thanks! No, hadn't thought about it. I just use the max level glide booster. Really handy in open world!
Wonder if you have any Ele tempest build for general stuff with good damage and survivability. I'm trying that power build from snowcrows but it is too squish and bad movement for open world 😅. I don't have Soto, so I also can't use weapons where that mastery is required.
If you want high sustain with solid damage fire/earth condi tempest works. I play weaver but you can use the same build for tempest.
@@HardcoreCasualGW2 Thanks, I think I might try weaver with a condi build instead then.
@@OlsenOfficial Here's a recent clip of celestial arcane weaver: ruclips.net/video/N9Y1fwDLHWI/видео.html You might also try trailblazer fire/earth. Both have great sustain and solid damage. The arcane build has better recovery while the trailblazer build has slightly better damage and stronger passive sustain.
awesome

Nope! This build is a joy to play! But we'll see what happens with the new expansion coming.

can someone explain this to me in fortnite terms?
Hello really old friend. I just came back to the game after 4 years away and I was looking for a new mirage build to do stuff solo and have some survivability, and look where I found it? :D Saw you on reddit and couldn't believe it. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome back. Staff mirage is still a good option for survivability and ease of play, although the damage output is very much on the low end these days. I think last I tried it out I was seeing maybe 14k in champion solos and we won't talk about the burst. If you're looking for something new to try, my latest obsession is power untamed, which can easily hit more than double staff mirage numbers while also having 1-shot power burst for clearing the trash! It's a ton of fun and the most effective open world/story build I've seen so far.

Something we cannot change but it grates on me is the trait "Precise Strike". This build already has over 100% crit change, that guaranteed crit on Opening Strike feels such a waste!!! :D I wonder if we replace some of those Berserker parts with Valkyrie parts, enough to get the crit change to about 90%. At that point, those guaranteed crits will cover some of those missed crits. Please try it if you have legendaries, I don't sadly, because I know the DPS will be overall lower but the HP should be much higher. If you can, please let me know the DPS numbers before and after.
It's like you say. It's just going to result in a DPS loss. We have a ton of ferocity and damage boosters on this build, but it's all for nothing when you don't crit. And vitality after a certain point is just wasted stats. You want enough health that you don't have to play defense every time a champion sneezes at you, but for most scenarios either you want to maximize damage to end the fight quickly or you need better overall sustain in the form of damage reduction/health recovery. In the former case, you take longer to kill which means you take more damage. Is the extra vitality enough? Probably. But if you could have just ended the fight faster you wouldn't have needed it. In the latter case, vitality isn't what you need. You run out of health either way, so what you need is something like Carnivore to recover damage taken or damage reduction like Forest's Fortification, protection, barrier, unleashed pet, etc.
Man, this is more or less the build I am working on atm but I want to replace the axe with something else more fun. Axe damage is nice, the utility of 5 can be nice but the fact that it grounds you in place feels so bad for me I just can't stomach it. Any idea?
Unfortunately, axe offhand is just the best choice. The only other option is warhorn, which is strictly a downgrade. Try using axe 5 in combination with Forest's Fortification. The 10x stability and 50% damage reduction make it a pretty safe play and with each hit reducing the cooldown on FF, axe 5 has natural synergy anyway. When FF is on cooldown you can use axe 5 during breakbar stuns instead. Edit: You could also use hammer rather than sword, but it doesn't work with this build. You can't source quickness from Enhancing Impact with hammer because you have to unleash pet to access your CC, which produces stability rather than quickness. So you pretty much have to take Let Loose with solo hammer builds.
Seriously xd
I'm impressed. xD
I still love this fight so much. :D One af several story bosses I've repalyed more than once just for fun.
