Power Herald Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Power Herald Roaming Build. Revenant World vs World.


Last Update: January 2024


The Power Herald is an assassin playstyle which can single out targets and burst them with ports and the sword abilities, but it also has good sustain and AoE for larger fights. It is one of the harder builds to learn because of the energy management, but by pooling energy you can perform big combos which can shift the momentum of a fight. It is susceptible to CC and focus, and since it is a melee build, knowing when to go in is key to performing well.

The energy refresh on legend swap allows for large burst combos. Setting up a CC from one and then following through with the burst from another legend stance provides the momentum required to secure kills. Despite being so aggressively built, the build can time Facet of Light strategically to convert damage taken to healing, allowing it more risky positioning.

Burst Combo:

Shiro Heal > Phase Traversal > Shiro F2 > Sword 2 > 3 > Swap to Glint > Sword 4 > 5 > Swap > Greatsword 2 > 3 > 5

  1. To paraphrase another user, should we make any sigil changes due to the brutal, vicious, cruel, unnecessary, and sadistic removal of the legend-swap + swap-sigil interaction?

  2. Does this build still stand for herald viability after the quickness nerf?
