Rotation & Extras

Weaver has its Attunement system reworked to a 4-second global Cooldown, whilst gaining access to Dual Attunements, which make your:

  • 1st and 2nd weapon skill use your current Attunement
  • 4th and 5th weapon skill use the Attunement you had before
  • 3rd weapon skill change based on the combination of Attunements, for example and on Sword give you

Use your Sword/Warhorn set for single target enemies and high damage. Use Staff to easily tag mobs and deal ranged damage.

is a very strong buff that we use to gain access to the following:

  • Attunement swap Cooldown is halved, down to two seconds.
  • Each Attunement provides a specific "Woven" buff.
  • We care primarily about Woven Air, which provides +10% strike damage and +50% movement speed.

Here are some guidelines for how to use :

  • Use it only against bosses.
  • Always start in to instantly get Woven Air.
  • Perfect Weave is obtained when you attune to all four Attunements. It's a very strong buff!

Here are some guidelines for when you're on Sword/Warhorn:

  • Cycle between and . Make sure to double-attune to both Attunements.
  • Use all your damage skills off Cooldown as you cycle through Attunements.
  • Use twice in . It hits hard!
  • Try to not interrupt Auto Attack Chains, especially in . They deal significant amounts of damage.

Here are some guidelines for when you're on Staff:

  • The Auto Attacks in and are both AoEs.
  • Double attune to as often as possible while cycling through your Attunements.
  • Feel free to skip .

These are your big AoEs on Staff, use them to tag multiple enemies. Your biggest priorities are:

Use off Cooldown, but prioritise casting it in .

Attuning to will grant you Superspeed due to . Use it to help you engage or run-away from enemies.

Dual attacks will inflict Weakness and grant you Barrier due to and .

On Staff you can use to stop enemies from getting close to you. You can also Knockback enemies with .

Alternatively on Sword/Warhorn you can use to Pull enemies together.

Rotation Notes

To use Weapon Swap you need to get out of combat. You can do that by either:

  • Using Skyscale Combat Launch Mount Stealth.
  • Gliding off a ledge Jade Bot Glide Booster (optional) Stealth Gliding.
  • Simply running away from the action.
