Overview
An easy to play, high sustain Power Bladesworn WvW roaming build that opts for the Strength and Defense specializations, gaining near permanent 
抗性 uptime along with interesting new synergies like projectile reflect on 
圣盾.
While the build offers high consistent damage with very little downtime, it can have trouble securing kills due to its lack of quick burst options and CC.

Skill Variants
Heal
伤势愈合 - better condition cleansing. However both 
力量恢复 on Strength and your elite skill 
战术装填 lose some value if you take Mending.

Variants
狂战之力 could be a significant damage increase at the expense of sustain, but also requires you to hit highly charged Dragon Slashes consistently - which might be difficult against better players or builds with lots of mobility skills/CC/evade frames.
Variants
心流如江 improves your healing but could make the build too sluggish to chase enemies or disengage from fights.
Equipment
Equipment Changes
Relics
-
防御者古物 - much better healing thanks to the many 圣盾 sources in the build. Your survivability is already top tier though, so usually you're better off with a damage focused relic. -
风暴咏者古物 - it's good against slippery targets like Thieves or Mesmers, in which case you can't keep doing damage constantly and have to focus on smaller burst windows. -
速度古物 - better mobility. -
骁骑兵古物 - improved cleansing.
Runes
-
超级兽群符文 - if you want some boon duration without giving up too much damage. -
超级烟花符文 - in case you want to focus on boon duration even more. With this you could achieve near permanent 抗性 uptime too. -
超级争斗者符文 - if you can't afford Demolisher stats, just use this rune and replace the Demolisher pieces with Assassin Assassin gear.
Consumables
Food options
-
黑胡椒粉真空烹调肉排 - passive damage mitigation and great stats. -
巨龙甜甜圈片 - extra Precision and armor ignoring damage procs that also heal you. It's cheap too. -
碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲 - a very strong defensive option which improves your already great endurance regen. Even has synergy with 
威能 related traits and the Strength line in general.- Budget version:

Utility
Usage
Elite specialization basics
-
Warriors who spec Bladesworn Bladesworn lose access to weapon swapping in combat but gain access to the Gunsaber, which works a bit like an Engineer kit (F1 by default).
-
Instead of Adrenaline you build Flow in combat. If you have enough Flow you gain access to
巨龙扳机 (F2), which roots you in place and starts consuming Flow when used. Dragon Trigger empowers your Gunsaber skills. The more Flow you consume, the stronger the first 3 skills get. These 3 skills are the main source of your burst damage. -
While swapping in and out of Gunsaber has a 10s CD, this can sometimes be bypassed.
巨龙扳机 is on a separate CD and using it puts you back into Gunsaber mode.
General
-
Gunsaber isn't a very complicated weapon. 1-4 are damaging skills and 5 is for mobility/
激怒 application. Skills 1-3 are ranged, 4 can be both melee and ranged. Spam them in whatever order you wish if they're not on CD. -
The 3 Dragon Trigger burst skills are:
- Dragon Slash - Force: replaces the autoattack, melee cleave.
- Dragon Slash - Boost: replaces skill 2, a gap closer/mobility skill with good damage. This is the most commonly used Dragon Trigger skill as it deals high damage and has the reach to hit enemies that are farther away.
- Dragon Slash - Reach: replaces skill 3, ranged projectile attack.
-
While Dragon Trigger is active, Gunsaber skill #5 turns into a ground targeted teleport. While the range is short, this could still allow you to reposition yourself in a way to hit targets who escaped to the highground or are hiding behind a pillar.
-
顽强巨龙 makes it easier to land Dragon Trigger skills by giving you 
目盲 immunity and unblockable attacks.- Skill #4's 圣盾 application could also come in clutch if your timing is good, potentially blocking a CC skill that would otherwise interrupt the channeling.
- Skill #4's
-
Axe/Pistol has plenty of burst damage and
飞斧投掷 could act as a quick finishing move against low HP targets -
"为了正义！" is both a defensive and offensive skill. You can either use it to heal yourself via 威能 stacking or boost your damage depending on the situation. -
Mobility skills give you
迅捷. -
盾牌大师 causes 圣盾 to reflect projectiles. This is way more impactful than it sounds because attacks you reflect don't consume the Aegis, allowing you to block far more than just 1 attack as long as you don't get hit in melee.- Skill #4 on both sets (Pistol and Gunsaber) are 圣盾 sources.
- Skill #4 on both sets (Pistol and Gunsaber) are
-
Dodge rolling grants
抗性 which is especially useful against 目盲 and 
虚弱 spamming specs. With this trait you can keep on pressuring targets by sacrificing a dodge, or end up getting it as a passive bonus anyway when dodging attacks.
Sustain
-
Every source of
威能 application heals you thanks to 
强力正义, turning otherwise damage focused skills like "为了正义！" into healing skills. -
战术装填 gives one charge to all Bladesworn ammo skills and makes your next Dragon Trigger charge faster. It's primarily a defensive skill best used to recharge your healing skill and Gunsaber #5 for extra mobility. To get full value out of it make sure that all of your Gunsaber skills are on CD and your heal doesn't have more than 1 charge.
-
Be careful with the timing of
战斗兴奋! The charges don't stack, if you use the second one before the first heal goes off the first one won't heal you. -
Your best source of condition cleansing is also one of your only stun breaks:
"重整旗鼓！" so plan your CD management accordingly. -
平衡姿态 is the best skill in the build for surviving Power based damage, even allowing you to tank some enemy burst while counter pressuring them. It's also a stun break, so if you're not under any condition pressure you might want to use this first before resorting to "重整旗鼓！" later.- This skill could also be used offensively, using the
稳固 to protect your Dragon Trigger casts.
