Overview

Hammer Spellbreaker is a great all-rounder, combining high sustained damage, consistent boonrip, huge CC, and good survivability thanks to and the Defense traitline. This build fits the melee brawler archetype perfectly, and as such cannot really do anything if forced out of melee range. The Greatsword build is burstier, but otherwise loses most of the advantages provided by the Hammer build.
