GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Bladesworn Open World. Warrior PvE.
Last Update: April 2024
The Power Bladesworn Open World build is a warrior that 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 trait line increases it to 100% chance to crit, allowing you to go Dragon’s stats for more vitality.
Rather than adrenaline, Bladesworns need flow to cast their burst skills. Signet of Fury or any movement skill like Gunblade 5 or Pistol 4/5 can be used to start generating flow early on so you can Dragon Slash as soon as possible. Using Signets will also grant damage modifiers over a long time, so preemptively cast them before entering a fight.
The Frenzy sigil will reduce the cooldown of all skills including Dragon Trigger, allowing you to reduce the time in between your big bursts. Dragonspike Mine also instantly recharges your Dragon Trigger for a double Dragon Slash.
Skill Pattern:
Signet of Fury + Movement Skill when in need of flow
- Gunblade 2/3/4
- Swap to Axe 2/3/4/5
- Dragon Trigger F2 > Dragon Slash F1 > Dragonspike Mine > F2 > F1
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.

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.
Hi! is current ??
Yeah this is a pretty solid build still.
Oh God, bladesworn seems so complicated! Amazing pvp as always!
