Fire Weaver

December 2022

This bruiser build offers a good balance of sustain vs damage. Gameplay of fire weaver revolves around fire traitline which offers some sustain from condition cleanse and good damage increase through burning applications and extra power stat.

Build fundamentals

Every time you get a Fire Aura you cleanse conditions on yourself. This applies to any source of Fire Aura, like Fire Shield or attuning to Fire Attunement.

Your healing mainly comes from using blast finishers in your water field from Riptide and dodging in Water Attunement or Earth Attunement thanks to Evasive Arcana (dodging in Water Attunement will also cleanse a condition).

Healing Rotation

There are many different ways to blast your water field but the main way is to:

1. Start in Water Attunement/Earth Attunement
2. Riptide
3. Magnetic Wave
4. Swap to Earth Attunement
5. Earthen Vortex

You can also use a leap out of a Water field (Flame Uprising or Polaric Leap ) to heal yourself. Make sure to never use your heal skill, Signet of Restoration, since the active effect is weak compared to passive which you always trigger when you use skills.

Damage Rotation

Your biggest damage skill is Pyro Vortex. But other skills also deal a lot of damage and apply burning or bleeding.

An example of a good damage combo is:

1. Fire Attunement/ Air Attunement
2. Gale
3. Pyro Vortex
4. Primordial Stance
5. Fire Attunement
6. Flame Uprising
7. Transmute Fire (For the Burning and extra Might)

You should also keep in mind that you benefit from staying in Fire Attunement for as long as you can because of Pyromancer's Puissance trait. If you leave Fire Attunement you will instantly lose 10 stacks of Might. You should remember to still switch attunement often as your auto attacks are relatively weak, and your fire attunement kit doesn’t have much sustain.

Primordial Stance applies conditions based off what Attunements you are currently in. This also means if you are fully attuned to one element you will apply two stacks of the condition. eg: Fire Attunement / Fire Attunement will apply two stacks of Burning. Make sure to use it well, as sometimes it is useful to apply conditions like Blinded to blind important enemy attacks.
