GW2. Raid Build. Condition Fire Weaver. DPS Elementalist PvE 2023.
Last Update: Jan 2023
Overview
The Condition Fire Weaver is a DPS elementalist build with great burst and sustained damage as well as mobility, but relies heavily on its team and sticking to a set skill rotation.
Playstyle
Role: DPS 
There are two possible weapons for this build, the Sword and the Scepter. The sword offers better utility because it swaps through all the attunements, but the scepter offers more damage at range with a simpler rotation due to sticking to only a few attunements.
Sword Rotation
Avoid swapping into Air/Water and prioritize swapping into Air/Fire every time Pyro Vortex is off cooldown. The Attunement rotation generally looks like this:
Air > Fire > Earth > Water > Fire > Air > Fire > Earth > Water > Fire > Air > Fire
Use Signet of Fire off cooldown, and use Primordial Stance when in Fire and Earth attunement. Use Glyph of Lesser Elementals in Fire. Weave Self can be used for burst phases or just off cooldown for more damage, but only use the Tailored Victory if CC is required.
Example Rotation: Fire/Air > Weave Self > Signet of Fire > Pyro Vortex > Glyph of Elemental Power > Primordial Stance > Flame Uprising > Swap Earth > Earthen Vortex > Transmute Fire > Flame Wall > Swap Water > Natural Frenzy > Swap Fire > Twin Strike > Flame Uprising > Swap Air > Pyro Vortex

Alternatives
- Utility: to perform mechanics and get back to the safety of your squad quickly
- Utility: to perform mechanics and get back to the safety of your squad quickly
- Elite: for the Scepter rotation since it does not rotate through enough attunements to use Weave Self fully
- Weapon: Scepter:
Scepter Rotation
- Use Signet of Fire off CD
- Primordial Stance when in Earth
- Glyph of Elementals when in Fire
- Always swap attunements off cooldown in this order:
Earth/Fire > F/E > F/F > E/F - E/F – try to place your Fire 4 Flamewall on the boss and double cast Earth 2 while positioning to shoot the projectiles through your fire field for a burning combo finisher
- F/E – use 2 and 3, then 4
- F/F – transmute the 5 Fire Aura and use the 3
