Power Spellbreaker Roaming Build

GW2. WvW Build. Power Spellbreaker Defense Roaming Build. Warrior World vs World.


Last Update: December 2023


Overview

The Power Spellbreaker is an aggressive melee roamer with very high boon removal to take down heavy targets. Positioning and animation timing is key to everything on this build since warrior skills have very defined ranges. Dodge towards your enemy, not away, so you can stay on top of them. This build can be played with Dagger or with Hammer depending your preference.

Full Counter is the main mechanic of Spellbreaker, it will absorb damage and counterattack all foes around you with unblockable daze, and due to trait synergy, it will remove boons, and refresh your other weapon burst skill, allowing you to do three bursts in a row with enough adrenaline generation.

With Dagger you gain access to Breaching Strike which allows you to counter much of the boon spam prevalent in WvW through unblockable and boon removal.

With Hammer you gain access to Earthshaker which allows you to engage on enemies with a stun to enable your burst combos with CC chains.

Regardless of which weapon you use, you want to set up your Greatsword F1 burst skill by either landing a good CC and then swapping to Greatsword, keep up the damage while they are stunned, then use Full Counter when they try to attack you again, then use the F1 burst again. Swap back to your other weapon set to regain adrenaline, bait cooldowns, and set up your next burst combo. Rampage is also great for the sheer amount of disables it has to set up your next combo.

Dagger/GS Combos: Dagger 2 > 3 > Shield 4 > Swap > Greatsword F1 > 2 > 3

Greatsword 4 > 5 > 3 > Swap > Dagger F1 > Full Counter > Shield 4 > Dagger F1 > Bull’s Charge > Swap > Greatsword F1 > 2

Hammer/GS Combos: Hammer 3 > 4 > 5 > 2 > Swap > Greatsword F1 > 2 > 3

Greatsword 4 > 5 > 3 > Swap > Hammer F1 > 2 > 4 > 5 > 2 > Swap > Greatsword F1 > 2

Much of your sustain relies on landing burst skills. Even Full Counter must hit an enemy if it triggers to grant you the benefits of the Cleansing Ire or Adrenal Health traits. So you should always try to be in melee range when using Full Counter so it has a chance to hit.

  1. Hi there! Love these builds so muxh . Im stuck between this build and a meditrapper DH . Could you give me your personal choice for roaming between the 2?

    • Personally Id prefer DH because you have ranged damage and you will need it more often than you think

  2. Hi ! My favourite spec is Spellbreaker. Would you take this build as it is for roaming with all the EoD specs around? Or would you change some sigils or runes? Thanks for answers !

    • This build is fine for now, but might change after October patch, so check again later or join GuildJen Discord for more discussions and updates

  3. Was wondering an alternite rune to durability . Until i can afford and unlock 6 durability runes

  4. Hello, is greatsword or hammer Spellbreaker build good for open world?.
