Unravel

[Razor.6392]

Thoughts on this? I think it's a pretty sick utility skill that enables HIGH damage combos and rotations in both pve and pvp that would otherwise be impossible.

Simply recharging all your attunement cooldowns (regardless of the weaver specific effect of allowing fully attuning directly) is pretty kitten powerful. Cooldown is low too.

Still outclassed by other utilities?

It's not outclassed by anything.  Currently, the highest benchmark for power weaver uses it:

This skill is pur mechanic enhancement rather than "free buff/dps" like the vast majority of others skills which is why it is not suitable with all weapons (sword ...) and builds, and why most of players just ignore it (no need for more piano); but yeah I play unravel in every game modes it's a strong utility.

There is so many things to explain with it ; it's just free element swap (and so all traits on element swap (arcane's boons, healing ripple, sunspot etc) + quick access to any weapon skill (shocking aura, gale + phoenix, cleansing wave, chain leaps with dagger, meteor shower, magnetic aura ...) . You save few seconds and can profit twice of an element etc, it doesn't look that broken when you start weaver with already short CD and "strong" dual attacks, but it unleashs your full potential once you understand your spec.

Sword dual attacks are mid af it's true (and to some extent staff) but the leftover weapons have some of their strongest abilities on #3.

^Bit of trivia about that:  Sword was designed backwards for weaver.  All other ele specs have their utilities on their 3-5 skills while having their damage on 1-2.  To accommodate for Weaver only half-switching into all of its attunements, the defensive and utility skills were put onto the 2 slot, while having their damage skills located on 3.  That way, if a sword weaver needs to evade an attack, they'd swap to water or earth and use weapon skill 2, or if they need to chase an enemy they'd switch to fire/air and use skill 2.

Not twice, but 3 times if you time it correctly.

I think he means, that during a single activation of Unravel you have time to rotate 3 attunements.

Fire -> air -> Earth  for example
