Spellbreaker Open World Build

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


Last Update: April 2024


The power Spellbreaker build survives open world PvE 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 hits enemies it gives more might for more dodges.

Always use the Signet of Rage off cooldown for swiftness and fury uptime. Disabling enemies will give you extra damage, so try to use your CCs early into a fight. Then you want to use your burst skills F1 which will tether you to your target and start generating might. Save some adrenaline to be able to use your Full Counter F2 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.

Skill Rotation:

  • Precast Signet of Rage
  • Banner of Strength
  • Dagger 2 > 3 > 5 > F1 > Bull’s Charge > Dagger 4 > Swap
  • Greatsword F1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > F1 > Swap

  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.

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

    Thanks!
