Power Spellbreaker is a fantastic solo build and is rated meta for this purpose. For zerg farming, other builds will outperform it, though it still holds its own in a lot of popular farms.

Defense

Usage

Damage

  • Use off cooldown: Signet of Rage, "For Great Justice!", Breaching Strike (or any current Burst skill at 2 bars)
  • This build focuses on using Disables to proc Aggressive Onslaught. Space out Disables to maintain high Quickness Quickness uptime.
    • Disables to focus on are: Earthshaker, Backbreaker, Bull's Charge, Disrupting Stab.
  • You also should focus on maintaining Weakness Weakness when possible. Weakness not only provides you a damage bonus through Cull the Weak but also provides you with great personal defenses against non-defiant foes. Your primary sources of Weakness are Fierce Blow and your Burst Skills.

Defense

  • Full Counter is a really powerful defensive skill, try to use it instead of dodging whenever possible.
    • Note that Full Counter reduces the damage of attacks to 0 rather than actually blocking them. This is relevant if trying not to get hit by an attack (e.g. for specific achievements).
  • Mace/Shield has several blocks and CC
  • Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible (except when baiting Full Counter).


Sustain

  • If using Might Makes Right, granting might to yourself will provide healing and endurance regeneration.
  • If using Tactics, Shouts provide extra healing.
  • If using Daggers, Sun and Moon Style provides very high health per second.


Crowd Control

  • Skull Crack
  • Pommel Bash
  • Shield Bash/Tremor
  • Kick (warrior utility)
  • Stomp
  • Seriously just hit any button on this build and you're probably going to CC something.

BlobTheBob gave this build 4 stars • April 2024
Still a good build for people wanting a true melee class. It doesnt have the greatest dps but it makes up for it with Full Counter being an incredibly strong defensive and offensive ability. Also with the later expansions EoD and SotO, many enemies have increased access to boons like protection, quickness, and stability, which spellbeaker excels at removing.
5 stars
Pleasebean gave this build 5 stars • May 2021
A solid build for any who enjoys melee combat, truly fit the theme of a forminable fighter. Self sustained is so high while you are fighting, not much focus is needed because as long as you hit something you can heal up to full even below 50%. One more small benefit that if using Phalanx Strength this build practically immortal in zerg/massive meta while still provide extremely high might up time. The only downside is this build has limited CC unless you willing to give up some personal dps for mace/hammer/physical utilities.
5 stars
Linera gave this build 5 stars • January 2021
As of 2021, this build is still an excellent solo build. Able to solo champions with relative ease thanks to the sustained healing from sun and moon and might makes right. "Shake it off" alone functions as a very good condi removal option and stunbreak. And full counter is a third dodge. Its only real weakness is its relatively short range, which is somewhat mitigated with its gap closing skills, namely GS 3, GS 5, dagger 2, and dagger burst. Overall, 5/5
5 stars
Onlywrin gave this build 5 stars • November 2020
The best solo build for warrior. Very versatile, relatively easy to play, and can quickly be adapted to fit different playstyle. Has gone from a build I rarely took seriously to one of my favorites very quickly.
5 stars
Chinkeeyong gave this build 5 stars • September 2018
A tanky, high AoE damage build for Spellbreaker. Excels at soloing group events and cleaving down trash mobs, and can survive some things it shouldn't be able to with Full Counter. Like all Warrior builds, its weakness is its short effective range.
5 stars
Screaming gave this build 5 stars • July 2018
A great build that fulfils classic warrior wielding a big sword fantasy, with not only great personal sustain and damage mitigation through Might Makes Right and Full Counter, but also extremely effective at generating its own might further increasing its damage between Forceful Greatsword and Magebane Tether. Alongside this it also has decent condition cleanse with Mending and Brawler's Recovery, as well as good mobility on Greatsword with Whirlwind Attack and Rush which are further enhanced by Warrior's Sprint removing immobile. This build, overall, is absolutely excellent, while being fun to play - between Mace and Shield skills, Hundred Blades, and Physical skills, it's easy to get the feeling that your warrior is this extremely strong unstoppable juggernaut.
