Oglaf.1074 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Cuz if it is basically just for PvP, I kinda feel cheated as a PvE-minded Warrior main... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zin.6170 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Don't have it all unlocked yet, but I have noticed most mobs put up buffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Windfoot Omega.7485 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Its ok, less for the boon removal and more for the easy counters and easy stunsBut, with power still in its weaker state, conditions still kill faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 The Might-stacking on Dagger auto-attack seems to have potential, but the question is if you can cram in damage on par with cPS at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahlen.7591 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 It's not good enough for PVE. Core warrior crushes it in DPS and utility.It's fine for t4 fractals probably but most things are if you aren't an idiot.Hard not to feel a little ripped off as someone who doesn't care at all about PVP or WVW.

BurrTheKing.8571 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Might stacking is really high with Mage Bane with Forceful GS and Dagger Autos. Once you have 25 might, which isn't hard, the dagger 3-4 combo can hit for like 15k which looks cool if nothing else. Sure, probably not top tier or anything, but for general open world stuff it feels alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 In "general open world" anything works, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerberouse.7680 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 You can have some good survival as well, there's a Mastery that lets you have tiny heals every time you stack Might; as well as Sun and Moon Form in SB. Pair that up with the Mastery that gives you +20% AS when using a Main Hand Weapon in your Off Hand and you can whip out reasonable damage and stay standing without too much effort. I only rarely pop my heal thanks to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to kill isn't that high and I don't die. If you enjoy it, play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeghart.9841 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I don't think anyone is surprised that Spellbreaker is not going to work in endgame PvE.We already knew that the traitline had way fewer damage modifiers than Berserker and the new weapons are nowhere near competitive when it comes to damage output. Not to mention that Full Counter is a dead skill if you're not going to get targeted or you can't purposefully get hit, which does happen in a few raid encounters. Spellbreaker PS does work, and quite well, but the fact that it cannot push much damage just makes it way inferior to the cPS alternative.That said, that really only matters for raids. You can most probably still do fractals pretty well and do your might stacking, you'll just contribute less to the dps and stuff will take slightly longer to die. Which is bad when you're dealing with enrage timers, but kinda meaningless for everything else.Would it be nice if Anet buffed the PvE side of the Spellbreaker to make it at least an alternative for a few encounters? Sure. Is it going to happen? Most probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe already does this though without giving up level 3 bursts.Does it bother anyone else that Weavers can pull off 45k DPS, potentially 50k, and Spellbreaker can barely hit 16k~ or so?

That, and if you really think weaver is going to continue to do 45k+ dps for a long period of time maybe you should tome yourself an ele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
