A condition DPS build for Willbender.


Skill Bar

Scepter/Torch
Sword/Torch
Utility


Weapon Variants

Greatsword can replace the sword set. The two options have practically identical DPS so you can choose based on preference or requirement. Sword offers some group Fury Fury and a teleport, Greatsword offers a leap and pulls.

You could replace the Scepter set with Greatsword if you want both Sword and Greatsword, but it would be a DPS loss.


Skill Variants

  • Bring if you need CC.

By no means a bad build, and probably the burstiest condi build around (if you discount venom precasts etc). Being able to freely use F2 and F3 gives it a lot of active defense too.

I run 100% Burning Duration from stats and Sword/Torch. Since the February 2023 update Condi Willbender is easy, fun, and high damage with a good skill cap to squeeze out damage. Willbender in terms of rotation plays much like a Dragonhunter. While learning the build just focus on landing 1 weapon set of choice and big hitting skills during F1. Virtues (F1-F3) now stack making the build very aggressive. Using F3 to stay on boss during an AOE doesn’t decrease damage or override your F1 anymore. F2 to keep up stack of Tempo if the boss moves and sword 2 to catch them. It’s very satisfying and damage output even while missing a perfect rotation is high. Willbender brought me back into playing Guardian and dusting off Dragonhunter for fun.

Have ran both with great sword and 1h sword and both does great dps, rotation is easy enough and is alot of fun to play. I have found myself keeping pace if not outpacing other known meta condi builds with minimum effort.
