Guild Wars 2

Testing spellbreaker was the most disappointing thing I’ve done in this game so far. Dagger skills need a good damage buff to be competitive with other weapon choices at all.

Compared to Holosmith which is the most OP thing I’ve ever seen in this game, it’s just sad.

well, if they are not using a skill then it only dazes, otherwise it does both

I’m assuming our boon-strip on hard CC doesn’t work if they have stability?

Anyone think it could be a viable Power PS in PvE?

It might stacks better than anything ever in the entire game. But it’s damage is sooooooooooooo looooooooooooooow you’d just be completely gimping the group.

Better off with just core PS or Berserker PS.

Nah, the most important aspect of a new weapon for it to be good in PvE most of the time is whether or not its autoattack is good and/or if it has a few other channeled skills or AoEs that pulse for high damage to supplement while you’re autoattacking.

Dagger mainhand is absolutely horrible, but offhand isn’t so bad since warrior has no offensive offhand besides mace anyways.

Another massive issue is that the specialization/traitline is just… total trash-tier. Warrior suffers from losing a lot of essentials by not taking strength/arms/discipline and that’s partially why when berserker came out it was kind of an annoying tradeoff to make, albeit still a damage increase. When you take spellbreaker, you’re making a tradeoff from a line that actually gives you great damage to something that offers you almost nothing at all, just so you can use the daggers.

This elite spec is basically useless outside of the boon removal thing for WvW as far as I can see. Sadly this is the consequence of design choices for new combat options being solely based off of lore instead of efficacy and when there is a massive disconnect between understandings of what is good for PvE and good for PvP among those making the decisions.

It’s a immob spamming, boon ripping nightmare, we’re back in the zerg baby.

The only way it’ll be viable in PVE is if enemies are literally spamming perma full boons at all times. This would make SB ok but also would make the game hell on earth for almost all other specs.

you can stack about 14 mights and deal about 10k dps. without trinkets ofc.
