BlackBeard.2873 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks for sharing. This will be the only viable, or half-viable build for eles after the upcoming changes neuter FA (both core and weaver). I expect people will get more used to avoiding churning earth (people seem to not be really aware as x/d eles have been extremely rare for so long now), so killing capability will go down vs. most builds. Still, its a good far-point harass, and will probably compete for the spot vacated by druids after the nerfs.I'd be interested to see more 1v1's with warriors (all of the fights were with warriors ended when they became 2v2), as I doubt weaver has the damage to whittle them down, and will never decap them. It is probably just a stale-mate, with more advantage towards the warrior as they just passively sustain as you have to constantly hit CD's to keep up. Regardless, its probably best to either rotate out, or accept the 1v1 if you know you will get thief/mes +1. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts?My build will be way stronger with the upcoming nerf to lot's of class (especially SB, Holosmith, and Druid, which is actually a better tank than my Weaver, but not in the future). The only class that will be far above will be still mesmer imo..I had duel versus few warriors, notably Vaanns & Rayzen. Was unable to kill Vaanns at all, but at least I can tank.Manage hardly to kill Rayzen, here the video with some tips as Sword Weaver, versus SB ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messiah.1908 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 atm in real fight warrior v ele is waist of time ... nevertheless good fight i think thief and mesmer as you mention are the only real threats to you with cc, high burst and evades on a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messiah.1908 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 i also find that arcane brilliance is also good heal skill combine with water rune and #2 water sword. low cd 15 sec base heal around 1 enemy is 4756 + water rune proc 1450+ blast water with sword 2 1350 which is around 500 healing per second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alatar.7364 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do you think that Avatar and Sage amulet have comparable amount of DMG output?It's too complicated for me to compare the DMG of a Power/Precision amulet vs Power/Condi amulet, so if anybody has better experience I'd appreciate the advise.Also, in your opinion, is it still viable to go with one of the More Offensive variants over Mender amulet, or does the extra Sustain proves more useful in more Scenarios? So far I've been playing around with all of the variants and all of them are amazing and fun, so the only question that's left is which one is objectively better for sPvP.

Just an FYI, lots of other things count as "using a skill," like swapping attunements, evasive arcana dodge effects, the instant-cast utility skills, among others. You get a lot more than 1 proc per second of healing.Plus, signet you don't need to worry about being interrupted and are able to keep up your pressure, which is very important for a brusier. You CAN cast it as a last-ditch if you are almost dead and running away too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanicRoom.7431 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Are you going to play on next PvP League ?Your build will be even stronger with next balance patch, due to all nerf to meta buildWant to see this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasiurus.4067 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Before balance patch, my Sword/Dagger Weaver was a bit like a druid, with less tanky & a bit more DPS.With Druid nerf, it may be better than Druid now.We'll see how its performing in next League, next week.Can only be better as most of Meta class get nerfed, and not at all Sword Weaver.

OutOfOrder.3719 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Do you recommend either sigil of agility or sigil of cleansing (to replace signet of energy) for additional condition cleanse when water 2 +5, and air 2+5 is not enough?Which sigil is more effective when facing 2 scourges and more condition cleansing is necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasiurus.4067 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 If you are facing 2 scourge, just run away or kite a lot, but you cannot clean all their condition. You can clean for 1, not 2 scourge haha. Not alone !I dont use cleansing sigil, I prefer far & away sigil of energy + courage. But Cleansing is not a bad choice if you have problem with condition.Remember that also switching water/Air and that twist of fate will clean condition.Your Elite skill will also convert 2 condition into boon if you have Leadership Rune :)> @OutOfOrder.3719 said:Do you recommend either sigil of agility or sigil of cleansing (to replace signet of energy) for additional condition cleanse when water 2 +5, and air 2+5 is not enough?Which sigil is more effective when facing 2 scourges and more condition cleansing is necessary?

Devilman.1532 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 So... I played with this build being Cellofrags 12 matches last night. Went 11-1 and completely wrecked shop. Yes some were against complete nub teams but that is unavoidable. I am very impressed as a guy who played ele as main from the beginning. Say what you will folks but this is very viable even in a meta where our Mesmer Overlords hold our lives in their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
