Hey All.

So can anyone/everyone please help me out.

I am looking for a list of Weapons, Skills, Utilities and Pets that help take down the Break Bar.

Wow Thank you for the Awesome list.

I didn’t even think of Traits.

Smokescale… Add that to your list.

A final question. What of that list is the most effective Bar Breakers? What does the most damage to them? Or what Combo’s of Skill’s/Weapons/Pets/Traits are the most effective in Breaking Bars.

fears,immobo,taunt, Long dazes+AA interrupts. those drain the fastest combined with one Muddy terrain or Point blank shot really empties the bar fast.

on my druid set up one Luna impact(while no CAF i use Pink MoA+muddy terrain) and Wolf+ sword AA after drop is enough to drop half a break bar on the basin pre-events legendarys, that fails i throw in a staff 4 vines or the point blank shot (if i have the bow Equipped instead of staff.

clears the bar nearly every time.

Don’t forget Lunar Impact and Natural Convergence while in Celestial Form. Former is a 3s Daze (6s with Moment of Clarity, it’s one of the -the- best Break Bar Breakers, ESPECIALLY coupled with Quick Draw.) while the latter pulses Soft CC and ends with Pulsing Immobilize.

To add to what Zenos posted, Wethospu has some facts on break bars you can find HERE with a breakdown on how much a certain CC will contribute to breaking bars. During those times when break bars will vary and/or scale, it’s a good read to gauge which hard/soft CCs do more or less than others.
