Oldirtbeard.9834 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hello Warriors,I've decided to switch sides to one of the chosen classes. Since I mainly play in the noob side of the pool Open World, Dungeons, T1T2 Fractals I would like to make a Spell Breaker buff bot.Why Spell Breaker?I hear they are more durable than Berserker.I'm mainly looking to learn the proper weapon set up, stats, and a rotation that some one lazy and mentally challenged such as my self can reasonably execute.Please and thank you.

Juba.8406 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Spellbreaker is not suited for PvE, Berserker will serve your better there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a zealot for QTFY, I'm not interested in gitting gud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeskies.1536 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Then just read the traitlines and make your own build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elegie.3620 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hi,Given a spellbreaker, with a wish to damage, sustain and buff, and a flavor of power... then I suppose you could opt for Spellbreaker + Strength (damage) + Tactics (support).http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAR5YjMdQlHW7BefAnIW6BMjAwHICg3kvyd5kowT47B-jBCBABGqbAgrAAWK9qZ/hKV/JgHCwZKBLTZApAGVoF-eYour greatsword will give you and your mates might in critical hits, thanks to Forceful Greatsword and Phalanx Strength. Activate your F1 as often as you like, this will stack Berserker's Power. Dodge offensively to benefit from Stick and Move. Your mace is a big DPS loss, but gives you access to a block, as well as 2 CC on short CD, useful to deplete breakbars and gain Attacker's Insight (but you could also go for Axe and use the Kick utility, with Peak Performance).If you find yourself too squishy, then replace Berserker's Power with Might Makes Right. If this still does not work, then abandon the Strength specialization and replace it with Discipline (with double axes).http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRAnX5YjMdQlHW7BefAnIW4CMlXwoLAg/gzwf4kJQEI0B-jBSGABxpfAgHAQ5HBApUCCy+DJcSAAU9HoU+RKgRFaB-eUntested, have fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Ascended Greatsword, Axe, Mace, Dagger, and Calagbolg.What would you suggest for Discipline then Mace/Axe or Axe/Shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegie.3620 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 You need a DPS weapon for sure, so either GS (for #2) or axe (the axe AA does good damage, but Axe 5 too and it replenishes adrenaline pretty fast). The rest I guess is situational, you can get pretty much anything (more DPS with optimized rotation, more defense with shield, more CC, more support with warhorn...). You adjust depending on your group capabilities and what you're facing, there's no definite answer to me.What is cool with discipline is that you can weapon-swap every 5s, so can really find interesting rotations depending on what weapons are equipped (plus it triggers onswap traits and sigils in a more interesting way). I'd suggest you try with what you have, and see what works for you. When I was doing dungeons (a long long time ago), I went there with GS and Axe/Mace (for vulnerability+cc), it was fun and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
