Willbender - Meditation Swordbender Roamer

Greatsword

• is the main burst skill in the build, make sure it lands - do an unexpected ranged burst with , or use it after pulling targets in with .

• and are there to help you secure Whirling Wrath by snaring enemies and speeding up the skill. is a great followup with too.

• When in combat, always try to combo in a Light field such as for . Few things to note when using this for mobility:

  • If you're OOC (out of combat), swap weapons just before the leap finishes in order to cancel the final part of the skill which would otherwise bring you to a halt.
  • In combat this can be used for jumping away from the fight to avoid damage. To do that simply just detarget (click anywhere on your screen that's not an enemy player) before using the skill, and make sure that auto-targetting is disabled.

• is useful even when the target has and thus cannot be pulled. The damage over time part of this skill is decent, and you could time it in a way that the target's stability runs out before Binding Blade does, allowing you to pull them in later. Note: the skill itself can be dodged, but once the blades are attached, you can pull targets out of any kind of evade frame! Last but not least, the blades seek out enemies even if they are ed.

Ranged burst combo example

1. If possible, have an active to gain the damage bonus from.
2. Weapon Swap to GS if you're not already on it (in combat this also procs your sigils).
3. - start casting it from range.
4. to teleport to the target right before WW starts doing damage.

Sustain

• is an excellent reactive skill which cleanses several conditions and even has an evade frame in case you need to dodge something but don't have the endurance.

• If taken can help you manage conditions and recover health frequently throughout a fight.

• If taken is a purely defensive stun break and your best answer against an overwhelming amount of conditions. Usually a last resort for when you're heavily pressured and other options don't cut it anymore.

• is an excellent and versatile defensive skill. Short CD, breaks stuns, grants boons, it's also a ground targeted ranged teleport which adds a lot of vertical mobility to the build. Leaving attackers behind while teleporting to the highground can save your life. As with most Willbender skills, it's not purely defensive - the AoE it leaves behind upon landing is a good source of cleave damage too, so you could sacrifice this skill to chase or pressure targets if you're fine with giving up a defensive CD.

  • adds a lesser proc to this skill, allowing you to recover health if you burst someone right after.

• is also a stun break but most of the time it'll be used to execute burst combos from range. Worth holding onto for defensive purposes when every other stun break is on CD though.

• As long as you have you're somewhat safe. It's an incredibly powerful defensive skill which grants you immunity to incoming damage and CC (other than fall damage) when under heavy pressure, and refreshes all of your Virtues which could either help you stay alive longer or run away.
