Guild Wars 2

when going scepter focus, and you need to use obsidian flesh in the heat of the moment is there any way to switch to it with out the need of pressing earth then waiting 3 seconds and switching to another attunment? (other then taking up a very useful utility spot for unravel) if there isnt then any kind of meaningful defense the focus provided is practically useless….the enemy wont wait for you to switch to earth twice just to use one of the most important defensive skills a s/f fresh air ele has….the way i see it right now im going to be staying core s/f ele for my wvw roaming still.

I did say other then unravel

Sorry, missed that part

Given Daredevil has a lot better escaping ability than Deadeye, I would say this could be true for Weaver vs Tempest as well.

i see an easy fix for it…lets say your in fire/water n need obsidian flesh, so you press f4 and go earth, then you have a 3 second cd to do any attunment switching again, so once you are in that main hand attunment u want, i wouldnt mind having to press ` key, the key next to the 1 to switch off hand to that attunment immediately, instead of waiting 3 seconds in a fight…..this game is becoming faster n faster and they make ele slower and slower with each iteration of it.
It great that we get some more vit now with weaver but if u cant attack and have skills ready to use on command like core ele and used at a reasonable rate then it will just be a fail from the day it was put on the drawing board.

Tested weaver out using staff. It’s deadly. Deadly to me, that is. That 3-4 second delay before I can get to the skills I need NOW in order to save my squad is total kitten.

The weave skills are uselekittenoots you for one second while it fires….the water thing takes too long and doesn’t really help and the fire one runs into the ground.

I’m surprised this got past basic testing. I can’t see any reason my support ele would ever want to get near weaver.

Might be more interesting for dual weapons and 1v1 or spvp where macros and people able to do very fast rotations but it’s just too much of a finger fest dual wielding.

i don’t think weaver was ever meant to be support. it is a glass cannon damage dealer. if you are going support then you may want to stick with tempest.

on a side note: If you are dead set on going support and need quick access to certain skills I think there is a utility that allows you to attune your entire weapon skill set into one attunement with your next attunement button press.

He doesn’t want to be a support. He said he’s running a Fresh Air Scepter Focus build. It’s the definition of a “glass cannon” build lol.
