    Power Spellbreaker Open World Build

    By Jen27 February, 2022Updated:13 April, 202523 Comments3 Mins Read Open World Builds

    GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Spellbreaker Open World. Warrior PvE.


    The Power Spellbreaker for Open World is a warrior build that survives many situations with large groups of enemies or strong foes using evades from Full Counter and numerous dodges as well as the great sustain from might generation and the Might Makes Right trait. It can dodge very often because you gain endurance on might generation, and when your dodge or burst skills hit enemies they give more might for more dodges.

    Disabling enemies will give you extra damage modifiers from the Attacker’s Insight trait, so try to use your CCs from Spear 3/5, Bull’s Charge, and Full Counter early into a fight. Your burst skills F1/F2 will tether you to your target and start generating might and increase the damage dealt to them. Try not to move out of range of your tethered target unless necessary. Once you have the Tether and used your CCs, use the heavy damaging Spear 4/2 or Greatsword 2/3/4/5.

    Full Counter (F2) is a key ability to master as it will block the next attack within a short window of time and perform a counterattack if you successfully block something. Failing to block something wastes adrenaline and time you could be spending doing other attacks, so timing and awareness are important. The counterattack portion of Full Counter does great damage and will reset the cooldown of your F1, so it is often best to use F1 > F2 > F1. This can cost a lot of adrenaline, so activate the Signet of Fury to gain adrenaline during these burst windows.


    Skill Combos

    Opener

    • Spear 3 > Signet of Fury > F1 > 4 > 2 > Swap
    • Bull’s Charge > Greatsword F1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 Swap

    Spear Burst

    • Spear 4 > 3 > 2 > F1

    Greatsword Burst

    • Greatsword F1 > 3 > 4 > F2 > Signet of Fury > F1 > 2

    Use F2 reactively and of course time your dodges and evade frames from Spear F1/5 and Greatsword 3 to avoid attacks. Dodging also deals damage so always prefer to dodge on top of enemies rather than away.

      Hello!
      There are differences between the video and the website.
      Accessories:
      – Video: 1 berserker, 2 knight, 3 assassin.
      – Website: 3 knight, 3 assassin.
      Traits:
      – Spellbreaker (video): 1-3-3
      – Spellbreaker (website): 1-2-3
      Which is the correct choice, if applicable?
      Thanks for your work and clarifications.

      Best regards!

        The version in the website is more updated, but since the changes aren’t too big, the video is still 100% relevant, so follow the stats on the page.

      Thanks for this build! Unfortunately it seems worse after the June update that caused Martial Cadence to no longer reduce the recharge on weapon skills. Are there any changes that can be made to adjust for that? I find I’m often waiting for cooldowns to come up with this current build.

      Can this build work with dagger/dagger + hammer?.

        It can but you need to take defense traits, you can adapt it from this build: https://guildjen.com/power-spellbreaker-build/

      Hi 🙂
      Is a problem to take axe in off hand? do i need to replace something in the traits?

      Thanks!

      Hi, I love the idea of having one build for all, is this build still reliable now? or does need updating?

      Hello, I wanted to know if it is possible to change the spear for another weapon, I have not yet unlocked this one, thank you 🙂

        Yes, use double daggers, and take the Sun and Moon Style trait.

      Getting more than a little tired of “SPEAR ONLY SPEAR ONLY SPEAR ONLY” with zero alternatives and there not being alt builds for the specs. Not everyone is made of money.

      • Jen on 6 October, 2024 2:46 pm

        The alternatives weapons are listed if you read better (Dagger/Dagger). If you have a problem with Anet monetization business by adding new weapons and making them better, then you might need to complain at their forums.

      What’s the dps on this build suppose to be? I’m hitting around 10k. I’m probably missing something, but maybe?

      Reply
      • Jen on 6 February, 2025 12:39 pm

        This isn’t a dps build, it’s an open world build, but maybe press your buttons harder.
