This was especially helpful for me, thank you for it. I've been wanting to learn Fire Weaver for a while and your explanations have really helped take my understanding forward.
this build seems really fun and good, and the way you explained every single thing is amazing, and showing gameplay to see how to play is really helpful for a returning/new player, great job
This was an excellent overall tutorial on Weaver. I don't PVP, but it really opened my eyes to many features and nuances of Weaver that I didn't even know I didn't know!
Hey, Vallun! Love your videos and your chill attitude toward competitive play! I have been running nearly the same build. The only differences are that I run grieving amulet and I take stone resonance and air signet. I run the same heal and elite as well as primordial stance. It seems to burst quite well and is surprisingly resilient for a glass build. The pressure seems pretty excellent and I'm really enjoying the feel of fire weaver right now! Flame expulsion is surprisingly strong with this build and fun to use with polaric leap when enemies attempt to disengage! Fun stuff!
Thanks for your guides ! Oh btw I was lucky shazaming the piano piece in the background @16min, thanks for the discovery =) (I don't know if I can mention the name for those damn right questions ^^')
Thank you as always for the build guide. I think I commented on another video of yours but you are for real the main reason I've fallen in love with pvp and wvw. You have provided the greatest welcome to new players and anyone wanting to get better at the game. Also how tf do you do the quick turned around for the water sword 2? I adjusted a setting the does the turn around but it's comically slow.
"Me and a guardian one shotted a theif.. So that's some of the burst potential you've got in this build..." WOW SO MUCH BURST POTENTIAL EVEN ON A TANKY THEIF!! lol
i really hate focus as a weapon. Is that build also good for sword/dagger? iam more into a rushing playstyle and the air sword/dagger skills are just perfect for keeping the enemy near you.
I just loved the idea of that build, it have the play style that I like, but Itryed it out and I was one shoted a lot... I'm new to tha game, so I maybe be playing too badly, but I'ld like to know if this build is even viable in the current meta
There aren't many off meta ways to play weaver because Anet treats this class horribly. Anytime it has something that's strong they nerf everything UNRELATED to what's strong and end up destroying it's build diversity. This means you end up having only a very very very small selection of usable traits and utils due to nerf after nerf after nerf.
gotta use those condi cleanses, remember every aura u gain is a cleanse so if you leap in a fire field, swap to fire attune, use focus 5, or you can use your focus earth skills to get out.
Hi Vallun, I need a definite answer on the Focus/Dagger question :/ ... which one is better for ranked? I feel that focus is more defensive, but dagger feels more fluid...
What would be best build while playing Path of Fire as weaver when you just unlock it? I mean build that can be used with Weaver when you get it with 2 talent trees as at the start you don't even get Weaver skills :D and no, it is not option to wait until it is fully unlocked, which is why I ask, what would be the best "levelin" build for Weaver? it will take for while to get all the skills :D Just yesterday unlocked it. I think it will take me month to get to the point I can look proper builds as that is how slow I level when I jump from game to game :D
Fantástico Job! One request . When i figth ni WvW I struggle with rangers and thiefs. Can u do a tutorial series “hoy to figth thief class with weaver”
dont waste dodges if theyre in stealth, backstabs arent that powerful. just walk straight away from them when theyre in stealth and be aggressive when theyre on you.
Asked the same question on ur another video just minute ago but imma repeat in here also. Downloaded gw2 first time ever 5 days ago. Did research for myself about professions and decided to go for elementalist fire weaver build. As it seems balance update nerfed the fire build in balance patch month ago. So my question is: does it function well in pve and possibly pvp?
the focus fire 5 basically, u constantly have access to condi cleanse when u need it, you go into fire attunement every other attunement and the fire dagger skills are just pure dmg
Is this build good for ranked? Im coming back from a long break, used to play sage weaver. Side note, pyro vortex ground aoes only hit one person each, so it will only hit the same person if the original person leaves.
So maybe it's me but like I do way better and far less work on other classes in pvp than on elementalist. Like it's great at support if I play tempest but it just feels like a weaker pvp class to me. It's not my main but I do enjoy it, but I just feel like its below average.
@@Vallun it's not about loudness, it's that your mic quality is so good, i can hear everything that's going on inside your mouth. Just back away a little it will work
I hear what you're saying and I have decided to instead just play another class.

Just came back to GW2 after a long hiatus. Enjoying your build vids and looking forward to new content!

Super informative guide. Much appreciated.
mesmer with confusion is waht gets me down quick

Is the build still viable now?
I think water d/d weaver is best with cantrips. It’s so much fun in spvp

the obsidian flesh nerf because of tempest gave me a stroke.
Dagger Air 5 as well because we all know dagger offhand is way to strong Kappa
Great video! how weaver deal with immobilization especially from ranger? Always get destroyed by that in both pvp and WvW.
gotta use those condi cleanses, remember every aura u gain is a cleanse so if you leap in a fire field, swap to fire attune, use focus 5, or you can use your focus earth skills to get out.
Hi Vallun, I need a definite answer on the Focus/Dagger question :/ ... which one is better for ranked? I feel that focus is more defensive, but dagger feels more fluid...
focus because the dagger doesnt have the fire aura skill it has the frost aura one, much les synergy

try air magic and water magic or arcane
Great video. One question: you're only running one weapon but you've got weapon sigils that acivate when swapping. How does that work?
for elementalists their attunements count as weapon swapping, which happens faster than the icd so you get them very often
@@Vallun Thanks for the reply. I main weaver, but my play style is reallu differemy to yours and so is my build. Great video nevertheless
Fantástico Job!
One request . When i figth ni WvW I struggle with rangers and thiefs. Can u do a tutorial series “hoy to figth thief class with weaver”
dont waste dodges if theyre in stealth, backstabs arent that powerful. just walk straight away from them when theyre in stealth and be aggressive when theyre on you.
He said squishy but it seems like he's pretty tanky to me lol. I don't play ele so i have no idea, but sustains looks pretty good.
Asked the same question on ur another video just minute ago but imma repeat in here also.
Downloaded gw2 first time ever 5 days ago.
Did research for myself about professions and decided to go for elementalist fire weaver build.
As it seems balance update nerfed the fire build in balance patch month ago.
So my question is: does it function well in pve and possibly pvp?
yes, most things got nerfed you just need to adapt the build as ive done in this video
@@Vallun Alrighty, great thanks!:)
@@Vallun Last yes or no question, is necromancer better as whole in pvp than elementalist?
@@kaurpold9706 Better? Yes. More fun? Not at all.
hey vallun, one question? why are you using focus instead dagger off-hand?
the focus fire 5 basically, u constantly have access to condi cleanse when u need it, you go into fire attunement every other attunement and the fire dagger skills are just pure dmg
Tried out rabid amulett yesterday to prevent oneshots from mesmers. Do you think it offers too less damage?
its ok but hp is pretty low, id go wizard instead
Is this build good for ranked? Im coming back from a long break, used to play sage weaver.
Side note, pyro vortex ground aoes only hit one person each, so it will only hit the same person if the original person leaves.
This build is Good if the player is good. Since for you to survive most of the time will be timing ur evades and using the speed runes speed to kite.
So maybe it's me but like I do way better and far less work on other classes in pvp than on elementalist. Like it's great at support if I play tempest but it just feels like a weaker pvp class to me. It's not my main but I do enjoy it, but I just feel like its below average.
where is the build link bro ?
Tell me what skins are those :O
When you covered defensive alternatives, wouldn't Wizard Amulet be a great choice?
yes thats good too
I will try it :)
I need just such a guide in German - unfortunately I don't understand this complicated class in English T.T.
If this is plat gameplay.. why the fk am I in silver bro?
Lol
Weavers thinking theyre the best? lol , this title is for guardians.
Consider talking not so close to the mic. I can hear every single noise your saliva makes
until now people told me im too quiet
@@Vallun it's not about loudness, it's that your mic quality is so good, i can hear everything that's going on inside your mouth. Just back away a little it will work
B.. But... Maybe we like the saliva noises 🤔🤔
Hey Vallun! How would this build translate into WvW and with what gear?
you can either go half rabid/carrion or go marshals/carrion not sure though
