Attack – 3080 Sword/Focus (Power – 2139 + 941 +200 condition damage)

Critical Chance 47%
Critical Damage 40

This build tends to work fairly well against bunkers and spike builds when 1v1 or 2v2 etc. I pull out the Hammer of Wisdom before combat and maybe the Sword of Justice as well. I lead with a blind from Sword/Focus and swap to Hammer. Use knockdowns to push enemies out of control points and to interrupt heals etc. Once I get one or two chills to trigger I swap to the Sword/Focus again for another chill. Rinse and Repeat.
