Spellbreaker Open World Build

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


Last Update: December 2023


Overview

This Spellbreaker build survives going into large groups of enemies or strong foes using well-timed evades from Full Counter and 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 hits enemies it gives more might for more dodges.

Always use the Signet of Rage off cooldown for swiftness and fury uptime. Then place down your Banner of Strength, use Dagger 3 and 5 to get started. Then swap to Greatsword and use F1 which will tether you to your target and give quickness, then you can use GS 2 for big damage and more adrenaline. When necessary to dodge, do so into your targets to land the Reckless Dodge. Save some adrenaline to be able to use your Full Counter to avoid attacks. Full Counter and dodging often do as much damage as a normal attack, so if you can avoid something with them, it is more valuable to avoid the damage since you will still do damage.

    • Arenanet temporarily disabled the API for the launch of the new expansion, will be back to normal after a while.

  1. 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.

  2. Superior Sigil of Strength and Major Sigil of Strength in greatsword it working ?

  3. 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.
