Overview

A high sustain Power Spellbreaker duelist build for PvP using the recently introduced Spear.


Skill Bar

Spear
Staff
Utility


Skill Variants

Heal

  • Mending over Defiant Stance - more consistent skill but harder to use under pressure due to the long cast time.


Utility

For the optional slot:

  • Signet of Stamina - the passive endurance regen not only gives you higher sustain, but also better Alacrity Alacrity uptime from the relic.
  • Bull's Charge - a more traditional setup with good defense and offense as well as some mobility.
  • Banner of Tactics - great anti-CC tool but it has to be used proactively, as it doesn't break stun for the user.
  • Banner of Defense - could act as a second healing skill with barrier sharing and defensive boons.


Weapons

  • Dagger/Shield over Staff - better damage, lower survivability. Use Sigil of Intelligence/Savagery on the Dagger set and Sigil of Energy/Cleansing on Spear.

Broken from beta. Enjoy your time before nerf. We have a diversity crisis in PVP.

Super good. The dps of spear is great and the reworks to the kit really made it a viable weapon. It'll probably get nerfed but for now it's shredding even tankier opponents while maintaining evade frames and having some good cc.
