Usage

Damage

This build heavily benefits from using CC to gain stacks of

Attacker's Insight
. As such, CC is part of the damage rotation. It's very important to be familiar with your CC skills and to watch your stacks; if you have dropped a stack, CC skills take the highest priority.

Use

"For Great Justice!"
periodically to gain Fury Fury.

Hammer

Fierce Blow
deals considerably higher damage against weakened weakened targets, for example after you use a burst skill with
Cull the Weak
. Reset its cooldown with
Backbreaker
. On hammer you want to use all skills for damage.

Dagger/Mace

Crushing Blow
is improved if you hit a disabled foe, for example after you use
Bull's Charge
. Use
Tremor
 to reset its cooldown. Use
Disrupting Stab
 for damage.
Aura Slicer
 should only be used if you need mobility.

Defense

  • Full Counter
     lets you block and counter enemy attacks.
  • This build has many defensive skills and traits listed above to make use of. Use Warrior's high health pool and dodges to your advantage.
  • You have passive healing fro
    Adrenal Health
    .
  • Consider replacing mace with offhand dagger to activate
    Sun and Moon Style
     if you need more sustain.

CC

The skills listed below are just the ones built into the default build. Warrior has a myriad of incredible CC options if you happen to need more.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
