GW2. WvW Build. Power Spellbreaker Strength / Defense Roaming Build. Warrior World vs World 2023.
Last Update: Feb 2023
Defense Variant
Overview
Defense traits offer high sustain and with the easy access to adrenaline and bursts, Spellbreakers can easily maximize the value of the Adrenal Health and the Cleansing Ire. Resistance will also ensure you aren’t affected as heavily by blinds and movement inhibiting conditions, which are some of the biggest counters to warriors.
Full Counter F2 keeps you alive, so try to reposition when it is on cooldown, then engage when it is ready and prevent a counter attack when they respond. You rely on stuns to remove enemies boons and eventually land your burst combo.
Basic 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

Strength Variant
Overview
The Strength Spellbreaker is an aggressive and mobile roamer that uses might generation and boon removal to take down heavy targets. Positioning is key to everything on this build as both the greatsword and dagger shield weapon sets are melee. This version of the build is more focused for 1v1 and can be hard to play in outnumbered situations.
Synergy
Removing boons on CC and Breaching Strike allows you to counter much of the boon spam prevalent in WvW. Might gained from Magebane Tether constantly heals and grants you endurance to survive. Always try to land Full Counter or any burst skill to constantly tether enemies, and only break the tether if you have a burst combo ready.
Playstyle
Land CCs like Disrupting Dagger and Full Counter to immobilize with the No Escape trait, then follow up with a long stun from Shield Bash or Bull’s Charge. Use Arcing Slice and Hundred Blades when the enemy is stunned. Play aggressively with Full Counter ready, and kite with evades, mobility, and Shield Stance while it is on cooldown to always get the better trade when interacting with enemies.

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
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
Was wondering an alternite rune to durability . Until i can afford and unlock 6 durability runes
Superior Rune of the Brawler maybe
