Spellbreaker - Spearbreaker Roamer

• Spellbreaker - Defense Spearbreaker - sPvP version of the build.

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.

Equipment Variants

Stats

• Replace the Dragon pieces with 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.

Variants

• 盾牌大师 could be useful against ranged enemies.

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

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

Utility

• 强效超级磨刀石 or 罐装水果蛋糕, whichever is cheaper (note that the sharpening stone lasts twice as long).

Elite specialization basics

• (FC) recharges your Burst skills and . 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 , 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 with a weapon swap 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 whenever you can't outdamage your opponent, dodge/block/evade as many things as possible, and spike targets when an opening shows.

• Any burst skill can proc , including .

• Staff isn't just your defensive set, but also one that can be used to secure a kill. While only and 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.
