Yeah the damage is pretty insane. I put on the tankiest amulet I could get and was absolutely massacring.
What I hope they do when they nerf the damage, is make the barrier (forgot the skill name) last a bit longer. It’s defenses are quite weak in my opinion assuming the damage takes as big a hit as I think it will. The shield is simply not enough, and I really don’t want to go back to tool kit like in pre-hot
These are my thoughts on it:
- Unless they add more boon based mobs/bosses/etc, the spellbreaker is utter garbage in PvE aside from very niche raid mechanics. We’ll have to wait and see on this depending on what’s released in the new xpac.
- In PvP, while the boon hate is really good – The weapon set itself is very weak against any competent player (slow attacks/bad range-cleave on a class that is built around mobility; now lacking it as a Spellbreaker).
- At best a lateral comparison to Berserker In it’s current nerfed state.
- Unfortunately anet nerfed the berserker but did not make any improvements needed regarding the spellbreaker.
- I predict it will have no use in WvW: bad for zerging, bad in roaming (lack of mobility), and bad in 1v1’s if the opponent simply kites and resets fights (assuming the spellbreaker is hardcountering what it fights).
- Lastly, I also believe it will be one of the bottom tier classes released.
