Overview
A high damage, high sustain Power Spellbreaker build for WvW roaming that's built around Warrior's Spear.
The lack of Dagger's boon removal means that you'll have to invest a bit more into raw damage in order to bring down high sustain builds than you would on a Dagger Build, forsaking some cleansing and instead opting for 
能者灾厄.

Stats
- Replace the Dragon Dragon pieces with Marauder Marauder if you're NOT playing with a Precision rune, or if you're willing to trade some burst potential for higher consistency.
Relics
-
风暴咏者古物 - strong damage proc. Makes your bursts better assuming you crit, but that becomes less consistent with the loss of Fury uptime. -
独行侠古物 - this can give you even more consistency than Midnight King in some cases, but it doesn't cover all the damage of multi-hit skills. -
伊斯加然古物 - higher burst potential.
Runes
-
超级争斗者符文 - better sustain without sacrificing much damage. -
超级学者符文 - highest damage option, but doesn't offer crit chance.
Consumables
Food options
-
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. Highly recommended due to relic and trait synergy.- Budget version:
碗装鲜肉冬菜煲
- Budget version:
-
黑胡椒粉真空烹调肉排 - passive damage mitigation and great stats.
Utility
Usage
Elite specialization basics
-
全力反击 (FC) recharges your Burst skills 
胜利之路 and 
鹞鹰投掷. Always try to use it when you can refresh their duration, 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, cast it in the middle of an enemy's attack animation, etc.
-
FC is both one of the best defensive and offensive skill in the build as it blocks, evades, grants
稳固, and performs an unblockable AoE CC attack when triggered. -
Both burst skills and Full Counter cost adrenaline. If you only need a little more until you can use them then
通用怒火 with a weapon swap can get you there.
General
-
Settings: disable auto targeting, otherwise it'd be impossible to use skills like
公牛冲锋 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
武者束缚 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 whenever you can't outdamage your opponent, dodge/block/evade as many things as possible, and spike targets when an opening shows. -
Staff isn't just your defensive set, but also one that can be used to secure a kill. While only
胜利之路 and 
英勇飞跃 are real threats here, sometimes this is all you need to get a kill once you've got a target down to low HP with your Spear. -
It's possible to benefit from Staff's
超级远见法印 even on Spear! Simply cast 
烈阳支援 or 
重伤之矛 right before swapping to to Staff. The skills should now land while the Vision proc is active. -
眼疾手快 reduces the CD of weapon swapping to 5 seconds, which keeps gameplay rather fast paced with minimal downtime. As a result you won't be auto attacking much unless you're cleaving a downed enemy. -
Despite its range
公牛冲锋 is best used in melee to make it harder to react to. -
CCing a target removes a boon and deals damage/grants adrenaline via
规避损失. -
All movement skills remove the Immobilize Immobilized condition - list of movement skills in the build:
Burst combo examples
From Spear
长矛猛击 for CC. This moves you back a little, so immediately start walking towards your target, you want to be in melee range for the Staff swap.- 烈阳支援 as you're getting to your target.
- Weapon swap immediately as you finish casting SS, you want the skill from step 2 to land on Spear for 100% crit chance.
-
胜利之路
-
英勇飞跃
From Staff
Survival
-
Almost every single Staff skill has some healing attached to it.
-
While
链接破碎者 can cover quite the distance, you don't always want to aim it far even when running away. The healing and boons are only applied upon reaching the destination - on low HP you might even get killed by a ranged build or conditions before the skill could finish. The closer you aim it to your feet, the sooner you'll get healed and protected by boons. -
超级洁净法印, 
净化之怒 and 
战士冲锋 will be used to manage condition levels before resorting to mass cleanses. -
Burst skills cleanse conditions whenever they strike thanks to
净化之怒. -
平衡姿态 isn't just an anti-CC skill, it also mitigates direct damage by giving you immunity to critical hits. -
伤势愈合 cleanses 5 conditions and should be used pretty much on CD, assuming you're missing a large chunk of health or need to deal with conditions. -
怒气恢复 provides a steady stream of healing as long as you're landing those Burst skills (F1-F2). -
"重整旗鼓！" (SIO) is both a stunbreak and a source of condition removal for you and your team. -
Kite, a LOT. You want to run out of harm's way using mobility skills as much as possible before resorting to major defensive CDs.
-
公牛冲锋 is great if you want to run away from pressure as it can build quite the gap while providing an evade frame.
Rampage
-
怒神附体 is what you use when you quickly want to burst/CC a target, or desperately need mobility to either chase down someone or run away from a fight. Bonus points if you manage to attach 武者束缚 just before using your elite. -
CC skills barely do any damage anymore, most of the damage in this form comes from autoattacks and
猛冲. -
投掷巨石 is a popular opener, allowing you to CC targets from range and then either follow up with 猛冲 for burst damage or 
地震跃击 to keep the CC chain rolling.
