how it works:
1 start with summon sword and hammer.

Does not really appear to be a “very powerful dueling build”. It seems low on defense, sustain, and damage. Do you have videos demonstrating your claim?

This build is a fail.
1) HEALING BREEZE??
2) (you really need a second reason?)
3) No defensive ability, only the knockdown of the hammer, 6 sec of stability and 3 condi removed every 50 sec. You can heal yourself by 1500 whit Empower of the staff, but that skill can be interrupter easy by your enemy and while you use it you’re vulnerable for 2.5 sec and that make your heal be useless because a good player in 2.5 sec inflict more than 1500 of damage.
4) No enough damage. Hammer skill deal good damage, but only if you deal a crit hit whit the active skill. With Carrion you don’t deal critical hits. It can “work” only if hey really increase the damage of your SW by 50-100% and they’re hp by the same. But they will not.
5) Condition damage whit no defensive skills is a bad idea. You kill your enemy slowly but your enemy kil you fast, expecially because you have only 17k of hp, low condition remover and no self healing ability exept your healing skill (healing breeze? >.<)
6) If your enemy use stability and/or AoE skills all your strategy is a fail.

That build can work only if you have a team that defend you, but you don’t give heal or support, your damage is low and you can hope what you want but if they increase the SW damage and healt by 10-15% it’s all gold from the sky. They said that the rework on SW skills is almost only on the active skills.

We hope for the best, but…

Healing Breeze on a spirit weapon build is actually pretty smart and probably recommended if one does choose to use a spirit weapon build. Spirit weapons are simply too squishy without being healed by the user, which I find interesting personally.

Taking altruistic healing in that build would probably be a good idea, since you can just buff your spirit weapons to get the heal that you would otherwise need allied players around for.

You know you have like 0 sustain right?.

I’m just going to delete my Guardian with Eternity. This build is a little gimmicky. The second someone pulls you from your element, it will be game over.

Here’s the issues with this particular Spirit burn build:
1: This build will do OK 1v1 and roaming, but considerably worst in zerg fights. Healing breeze would be fine, if you had at least 500 healing power and can also heal your team up…which you don’t and can’t. Also you’ll be using it more frequently to keep your spirits alive instead of yourself. Your toughness is incredibly low, burning build is sustain damage and you need to stay alive as long as you can to get the most out of your burns. Use Shelter. You won’t get zerged down as fast.
2. Without sword you lose more sustain damage and utilities. #5 on sword scales with condition damage, it gives another 400 damage tick on top of your burns and bleeds. I don’t think 12 stacks of might out-weighs the sustain you get from GS. If you plan on being in zerg fights, there are better burn builds for that.
