About 5 seconds into a fight I realize I've reverted to button mashing. Vallun not only knows exactly what he's doing, he knows exactly what the 5 people chasing him are doing.
I tried this build yesterday and had much more success, speed runes are definitely the way to go. I even managed to get away from a group of 6 and lured one far enough ahead of them to get the kill before they caught up and killed me. So satisfying though!
Great stuff as always. I've been running a similar full cele weaver build for a couple of months, but with a few changes that address the issue of the lack of chase/kill potential. I take Burning Rage instead of Smothering Auras, and all of my skills are stances. For gear, I run d/d which feels much smoother in terms of cool downs, has a bit more dmg and range and mobility, and lastly, Runes of the Weaver - the amount of barrier becomes insane, and damage is also quite impressive.
coming back back after years away i was pissed at how weak base ele was compared to the rest of the game, but having finished unlocking weaver i'm really enjoying the playstyle, especially the double attunements. glad i found this guide.
Absolutely love your build videos, they're always fun and incredibly informative. Any chance we could get some videos explaining the "meta" builds for roaming and/or zergs? Stuff like why they're meta, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how to play against them?
Wow, i've kinda overlooked speed rune in this build. Been playing it with antitoxin rune and energy+hydromancy sigils. Mostly I was trying to apply chill to stick to the targets and land pulsing burns
he briefly moves backwards without rotating camera, but pressing S just backpedals - it doesn't change your direction. i wonder how to do that too. Maybe he's holding left mouse button pressed, then uses about face - water 2 - about face (could be a macro too, which is forbidden).
Hi, I am new to the game and I picked elementalist because I always play mage type characters in any game plus I really like this build. I have a question about your sigil. I see in the video you never swap to sigil. You are constantly using sword and focus. Does that mean that the sigil is like a passive / always active never need to swap to it kind of thing ? Also is this setup of weapons ( sword / focus ) decent for leveling? I am not trying to rush to end game but rather take my time and enjoy the leveling experience. Love your content and absolutely love the game and community so far!
sigils that activate on weapon swap activate on attunement swap for elementalists, and yes anything works for leveling but you can check out my leveling builds video
its the best class to participate in wvw, while being in perma down state, its so much fun, only close one is probably the thief, but nothing beats the weaver
This build doesn't seem to get close to 100% burn duration increase maybe like 50%-60%. If you want to play bunker with so much focus on swiftness why not drop the rune and go Woven Stride and water spec for Cleansing water trait. You could easily deal with condi and never die.
@@Xephhirotunyi Because most people don't run a lot of cleansing. Many get used to zergs doing it for them. So they end up complaining about condi being op since they don't run it themselves.
Ah yes, i remember playing this build with Trailblazer gear. Just pop weave self, lava skin and primordial stance, and yeet into the enemy group while channeling obsidian flesh and watch your enemies burn to death, wondering what the hell just happened. or if against a single enemy, use the completely broken Focus Air 5 unblockable cc, then burst your target down in seconds. This build is so uninteractive and brainless, you don't have to even look at what the enemy is doing.

this dude is good

Hey, hello!, would you say, the build you describes, still works? if positive...would you be able to link it? ty in advance!
coming back back after years away i was pissed at how weak base ele was compared to the rest of the game, but having finished unlocking weaver i'm really enjoying the playstyle, especially the double attunements. glad i found this guide.
Amazing gameplay on arguably the most complex spec in the game. Very nice.
Vallun is on fire!
16:58 How can you teleport on the wall? Whenever I use this skill on a wall like you did, I get an error.

neeed it!
Hey Vallun. Love your video. Is there a open world build for ele as well?
Thanks Vallun. You are the best.
This build is just amazing...omg, how would you say it works nowdays with all the changes? Ty a lot!
Wow, i've kinda overlooked speed rune in this build. Been playing it with antitoxin rune and energy+hydromancy sigils. Mostly I was trying to apply chill to stick to the targets and land pulsing burns
Which one would be better for small scale roa? This or the tempest one? Ty
Celestial Meta. I knew it would happen after that buff. 😏
2:06 how do you do that backwards dash?
he briefly moves backwards without rotating camera, but pressing S just backpedals - it doesn't change your direction. i wonder how to do that too. Maybe he's holding left mouse button pressed, then uses about face - water 2 - about face (could be a macro too, which is forbidden).
Good start is to trow firefield on Enemy and when you swap to Air instant 2 to Leap on that Enemy to get Free fireaura from Leap finisher

CELESTIAL HAS BEEN ACTIVATED
Normaly i prefer dagger for weaver its that hard with sword ? I could test
ty
Does this build works on dagger/focus? I usually prefer dagger play style rather than the sword
no but the lightning rod build does
I use the same build but use rune of antitoxin since I have problems usually with necros
In vidéo you say rune of speed but in build guildjen it have rune of sanctuary
Wich is the best so far ?
sanctuary if you want to 1v1, speed if you want to roam because the movement helps more in those situations
Holo next ?
Perma down state?
its the best class to participate in wvw, while being in perma down state, its so much fun, only close one is probably the thief, but nothing beats the weaver
Does this build still work?
Damn... I wish I were this good with any build lol
I'm looking forward for a Catalyst Cele build, that seems fun
1 vs the map.. jesus.. this is nuts.

Why 100% if in wvw everyone is running cleanses?
@@Xephhirotunyi Because most people don't run a lot of cleansing. Many get used to zergs doing it for them. So they end up complaining about condi being op since they don't run it themselves.
So your Tempest build is better overall for roaming?
No, usually tempest is a relatively easy target. Any builds is vallun's hand is considered OP.
Bro wtf. New to the game and got my first 80 2 days ago. Seeing this kind of play, just amazing. Hope to be able to do that some day 🤣
everything goes celestial
I refuse to 1v1 tank builds. Waste of time. Won't fight low risk builds. Live a little. Take a risk.
Bunker build
