GW2. Power Dragonhunter PvP Build. Roamer Guardian PvP.
Last Update: August 2024
The Power Dragonhunter is a guardian Roamer PvP build that can output massive burst damage by pulling and pushing enemies through their Test of Faith. Though it has a good mix of ranged and melee damage with longbow and traps, it can be countered in large team fights where supports and projectile reflects exist, which is why even though it can be a good DPS, it prefers to roam. It needs to land it’s burst combos to kill targets because it does not have much sustained damage to finish kills. This makes baiting dodges and counting cooldowns extremely important.
The first combo involves landing your F1, then porting into melee range and placing the test of faith on top of your enemy so that the trap triggers (do not push or pull them before it triggers). If they stand inside your Trap you can push them out with the shield then pull/push them with the F1 second cast and Longbow 3. If they dodge out of your Trap then you can just skip to the pull.
Test of Faith Combo:
- F1 > Sword 2 > Test of Faith > Shield 5 > Swap
- F1 Pull > Longbow 3 > Longbow 2
Another combo involves trapping your enemy inside your Longbow 5 ward so you can pulse multiple symbols on them while they can’t move. Since the Longbow 5 has a bit of a delay before the final attack that creates the ward, you can precast it on yourself before pulling enemies on top of you with your F1 Spear of Justice tether.
Longbow Combo:
- F1 > Longbow 2 > Procession of Blades > Longbow 5 (on self) > F1 Pull
- Longbow 4 > Swap > Sword 2 > 3
While waiting for your combo, it is important to kite and conserve cooldowns rather than use your skills to constantly pressure. You need at least a few skills to perform these combos, so give yourself time by creating space with the F2/F3 or using your Renewed Focus to remove pressure. When out of cooldowns this build is extremely vulnerable, so be aware of those cooldowns and decide whether to fight or not based on those timers.

hey you can’t replace the shield and sword with a greatsword
The build text seems outdated because it references a skill (Intervention) and a sigil which is not used in the shown build elements. Is it up to date?
fixed, the text was outdated
