Disclaimer: This is an idea for a future elite specialisation and was not made in order to replace Tempest. I tried to give close range melee dps options (offensively and defensively) aswell as some options for condition scepter players.
Introduction
Weavers are Elementalists that are capable of weaving elements together, allowing them to use combination effects for their fluid fighting style, using a sword as their main weapon.
While their name sounds harlmess they should not be taken lightly, they are slippery, fast and when things don’t go too well they still have some aces up their sleeves: elemental stances.
Specialisation Mechanic
(weaver attunement spells have an internal cooldown of 8.5s to match them with the attunement cooldown of the arcane line)
Swapping attunement will weave them together, causing an effect at your current location depending on which attunements are used together. Instead of your attunement icons the combination spells will be shown expect for the attunement you’re currently in, which will show its normal icon.
Two attunements will always be tied together, going from attunement A to B will have the same effect as going from B to A.
Fire Attunement + Water Attunement
Steam appears at your location, blinding foes standing in it (smoke field, similar size of a thief’s pistol 5). if a smoke field would be too strong it could simply just be a blind field.

The Air around you explodes, knocking enemies back. (a small knockback similar to engi’s turret knockback. blast finisher).

Melt the ground below your feet. (lava font, a fire field, similar to ele’s staff 2 on fire).
Water Attunement + Air Attunement
Electrifies water on the ground, creating a lightning field that stuns enemies crossing it.
Water Attunement + Earth Attunement
The ground under your feet turns to mud. (creates gunk at your location, similar to thief’s stolen engi item, applying random conditions, ethereal field).
Air Attunement + Earth Attunement
Magnetize the area around you, destroying projectiles. (a magnetic field that destroys projectiles when you stand in it).
