Spellbreaker - Greatsword Spellbreaker Roamer

Variants

• 巅峰表现 offers even better damage, but as a Warrior you should grab any 抗性 source you can get so blinds don't destroy you. Taking Peak Performance is yet another cut to your Resistance uptime.
• Take 强力正义 if you want to have a bit more sustain.
• 反攻突袭 can make it easier to land your burst.

Variants

• 混斗复元 gives you more condi cleanse but makes it harder to kill some of the high sustain, boon focused builds. Without Dagger's boon removal that could soften up enemies, you rely a lot more on raw damage to overpower other roamers in WvW.

Specialization Variants

Defense over Strength also works. This is a more sustain focused version of the build:

Food options

• 黑胡椒粉真空烹调肉排 - passive damage mitigation and great stats.

• 碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲 - a very strong defensive option which improves your endurance regen and adds a bit more damage. Even has synergy with dodge related traits.

  • Budget version: 碗装鲜肉冬菜煲

Utility

• 超级磨刀石 or 罐装水果蛋糕.

Elite specialization basics

• (FC) recharges your Burst skills and . Try to use it FC when you can reset their cooldowns, except if you're under heavy pressure in which case you can use FC purely for defensive means.

• Always try to make sure Full Counter goes off: briefly move into hostile AoE spells, tank Mesmer clones or Ranger pets, etc.

• FC is both the best defensive and offensive skill in the build as it blocks, evades, grants and performs an unblockable AoE damage/CC attack when triggered.

• Both burst skills and Full Counter cost adrenaline. If you only need a little more till you can use them then can get you there.

General

• Settings: disable auto targeting, otherwise it'd be impossible to use skills like for disengaging.

  • For more tips check out our settings guide.

• Playstyle: this build is all about weaving hard hitting skills into chains of block and evade frames while tethering yourself to the target with as often as possible. The combos aren't set in stone, rather you'll need to adapt based on what CDs are available. Minimize melee contact, dodge/block/evade as many things as possible, and spike targets when an opening shows.

  • Any burst skill can proc , including .
  • , , and are your main damaging skills, everything else is basically a filler or something that's used to set up burst / survive enemy burst.
