Unfortunately, this build is reliant on being able to hit a target to generate {{tooltip|Alacrity}}. It also relies on Virtues to do competitive damage, thus it must maintain high health and {{tooltip|Aegis}} uptime on itself for {{trait|Unscathed Contender}}. This makes Alacrity Willbender is a rather niche pick.

Overview

A power boon support build that provides permanent Alacrity Alacrity, permanent Fury Fury and ~20 stacks of Might Might.

Unfortunately, this build 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 high health and Aegis Aegis uptime on itself for Unscathed Contender. This makes Alacrity Willbender is a rather niche pick.

Xunrise gave this build 5 stars • July 2022
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
