Stormbreaker Spear & Soulshade Umbrella PvE Build
- High Fortitude (CC Immunity)
- Good Healing
- Tanky
- Extremely Easy to Play
- Boring to play
- Slow Attacks
- Low-ish damage
Overview
Using 
Stormbreaker Spear with 
Soulshade Umbrella creates one of the tankiest builds in Where Winds Meet and also one of, if not the easiest builds for any new player looking to play tank in Where Winds Meet. The spear offers you a huge amount of Fortitude, which means you’re basically CC-immune through your whole combo. Even if the attacks are slow, the build remains more than capable when it comes to tanking bosses in group PVE content or just general solo PVE content.
The build isn't lacking in healing either as the Soulshade Umbrella offers incredible, essentially passive healing with the use of 
Echoes of a Thousand Plants which heals both yourself and other allies. The damage increasing buff cannot be ignored either as 
Floating Grace adds 15% extra damage to yourself and your allies, a big deal in most PVE boss fights. Along with that, the umbrella also extends the duration a boss is held down in exhaustion state if you use 
Pale Petal.
Martial Arts
Gear
Stats Priority
While the Gear part of the build is still under development and more information will come soon, you should use the Rainwhisper + Moonflare set combo and make sure to keep the buff active by weaving in Heavy and Light attacks as needed. This part of the build is still under construction as far as specific stats go.
Inner Way
Morale Chant remains one of the strongest Inner Ways in the game, giving you both steady damage and extra healing, and it’s very easy to keep stacked during any long fight as it stacks every time your Umbrella heals while Echoes of a Thousand Plants is active. For even more survival, 
Trapped Beast adds a reliable shield whenever your HP gets low, letting you tank burst damage and giving you time to heal or be healed.
To get stronger Charged Skill damage, 
Battle Anthem fits perfectly. It works especially well because you use 
Fury Spear so often, and that skill already comes with built-in Fortitude to keep you safe while charging. To support the healing playstyle, 
Restoring Blossom is an excellent final pick, boosting all healing you do and making it easier to keep both yourself and your teammates alive.
Mystic Skills
Leaping Toad is one of the best PVE skills you can run, since it deals strong initial damage, applies poison, and later spreads that poison to nearby enemies once upgraded. Each spread causes extra explosions, giving you very strong AoE. You usually want to keep this poison active together with 
Dragon's Breath when you aren’t spamming 
Drunken Poet.
Dragon's Breath adds steady burn damage and also goes well with Drunken Poet to keep attacking using vitality instead of burning your stamina. Every hit from Drunken Poet makes the burn explode every hit, giving you extra DPS.
And if things get rough, 
Golden Body gives you a panic button. It adds a shield and helps you survive sudden burst damage during boss fights. For controlling mobs, 
Ghost Bind is extremely useful. It drags enemies together, letting you or your teammates clear them with AoE.
When you need to break Qi bars or apply CC, 
Talon Strike is still effective. It knocks enemies down and hits hard enough to stay relevant, even if it’s not as strong as 
Soaring Spin for damage.
Rotations
- Begin the fight by activating Floating Grace alongside Echoes of a Thousand Plants to boost your damage output and start passively healing yourself and nearby allies.
- Move on to Dragon's Breath to apply the DoT burn before using
Storm Roar to deal damage, increase the damage the enemy takes, reduce the damage you receive, and force mobs or bosses to focus their attacks on you by taunting them.
- Follow this with a
Thunder Shock into Fury Spear, then repeat with another Thunder Shock and another Fury Spear. Follow up with another Dragon's Breath to keep the debuff stacked before using Drunken Poet to keep doing damage.
