Overview

A power boon support build that provides permanent Alacrity Alacrity and near-permanent Fury Fury.

Unfortunately, this build provides minimal Might Might and is reliant on being able to hit a target to generate Alacrity Alacrity. It also relies on Virtues to do competitive damage, thus it must maintain Aegis Aegis on itself for Unscathed Contender. This makes Alacrity Willbender is a rather niche pick.

Very fun, pretty viable, obviously not meta but decent enough. Engaging alac generation mechanic, so it actually requires some brainpower, which makes it fun
1 star
Cel gave this build 1 star • March 2022
Not useful or viable in instanced content rn. Alac is hard to maintain dps is low and it offers very little utility. Would not reccomend at all and most groups will ask you to switch
