GW2. Lightning Rod Weaver PvP Build. Elementalist 2022.
The Lightning Rod Weaver is a Roamer which counters power and projectile builds very well with the high weakness uptime from the Lightning Rod trait on CCs, but it lacks condition cleanse and can be easy to focus with the low health pool. However, with the Earth Shield and Earth Attunement you can survive with more base stats when you need them.
Basic Rotation: Air/Air > Air 3 > Air 2 > Air 3 > Swap Water > 3 > Water 2 > Swap Earth > 3 > Earth 2 > Water 5 > Swap Air > 3 > Air 2
Burst Combo: Air/Air > Air 3 > Air 2 > Air 3 > Air 5 > Swap Fire > 3 > Unravel > 3 > Swap Air

Tempest Variant
The Lightning Rod Tempest is more of a DPS which can also give supplemental Support to its allies. It replaces Arcane traits with Tempest to get protection along with Weakness from Lightning Rod so that you can still have survive as a squishy build against power burst, but then it replaces Weaver with Water to allow you much more cleansing and survivability against conditions. You have wide damaging AoEs for team fights with Overload Air and Sandstorm reflects with Warhorn 4 and Aftershock team and with Earth Overload, Aftershock, and Dagger 3, you can immobilize your enemies into your heavy damaging Lightning Orb. You can also take Powerful Auras to share your auras to allies which will make your stuns much more relevant in team fight from sharing shocking aura.
Basic Combos: Air 4 > Air 5 > Aftershock > Air Overload + Air 3 > Air 3 > Air 2 > Swap Fire > Fire 3
Sustain Combo: Water Attunement > Water 4 > Water 5 > Water 3 > Swap Earth > Earth 4 > Earth 3
