Bladesworn Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Bladesworn. Warrior PvE.


Last Update: December 2023


This Bladesworn build focuses on dealing as much damage with the Dragon Trigger abilities as much as possible while staying alive with the might gained from Unyielding Dragon. Since the most important thing is critting with Dragon Slash, the Arms traitline increases it to 100% chance to crit, allowing you to go Dragon’s stats for more vitality. Also the Frenzy sigil will reduce the cooldown of Dragon Trigger allowing you to reduce the time in between your big bursts.

Skill Pattern:

Signet of Fury + Movement Skill when in need of flow

  1. Gunblade 2/3/4
  2. Swap to Axe 2/3/4/5
  3. Dragon Trigger F2 > Dragon Slash 1/2/3

Use the Dragon Slash Force (1) for the most damage, and reposition with the blink (5) if needed. Use the Dragon Slash Boost (2) or Reach (3) if they are out of range.

  2. Hi. Haven’t tried this build yet but the equipment is not displaying correctly. The tooltips show berserker and assassin’s gear but the label indicates dragon.
