GW2. Best Open World Build. Celestial Weaver Open World. Elementalist PvE.
As one of the more complex specializations, Weaver can be hard to get into. However, the Celestial Weaver Open World build has a simple rotation and can be extremely survivable with the amount of healing, boons, and barrier it gains while generating might through combos to increase the damage of the pulsing burns.
Because your offhand skills will be delayed by one attunement swap, it can be difficult to see what skills you will have available before you can use them. Sticking to a strict rotation is important to maximizing the skills you use. Avoid swapping into Air or Water attunement unless you need the utility or healing from those skills. Earth and Fire are your main attunements.
Scepter/Warhorn Rotation:
- Always swap attunements off cooldown in this order:
Earth/Fire > F/E > F/F > E/F (double attune fire then single attune earth, repeat) - Primordial Stance when in Earth Attunement
- Signet of Fire
- E/F – try to place your Fire 5 Wildfire strategically to double cast Earth 2 while positioning to shoot the projectiles through your fire field for a burning combo finisher
- F/E – 5, 2, and 3
- F/F – aim the 3 slightly behind the target to multi-hit
If you forget where you are in the rotation, remember that the general attunement sequence is > Earth > Fire > Fire > Earth > Fire > Fire. Knowing that you only swap into Earth after you have fully swapped into Fire means that if you can swap into Fire, then you should do it. If you can’t swap into Fire anymore, then you should swap to Earth.

Soon the runes will be fixed, will they remain relevant or is there an alternative?
Rune of Sanctuary was nerfed. is 10% still enough Barrier or should we Take more Dmg?
Sanctuary is fine, you can take Elementalist Rune if you want more damage
Hi Jen! Just wondering, I got the stat-selectable sword from the weaver elite spec, should I pick cele, viper, or grieving, given that the rest of my gear is celestial from the boost? Thanks!
If your main focus is open world pve deff go always full Celestial, and don’t worry about the selection now, if in the future you need a different one you can change stats in ascended with a recipe in the mystic forge
Which of the new relics do you recommend I use with this build? Warrior? Fireworks?
Build is updated now, weaver or thief relic will work
Thanks!
What about with new changes after last update?
Yes nothing changed on last patch
Any coposition of scepter/warhorn or sword/warhorn is viable in this setup?
This is stay actual?
Is celestial spear viable at all?
Just want to ask, how does it dammit work? I dont have visible horn skills (4-5). But when i switch to tempest i have them. Where is a catch, pretty please?
You need the Secrets of the Obscure expansion and do the story to unlock “Weapon Master”
