We don't need a new DPS spec for that, just some improvements for the current one.

I've played them all. Spellbreaker WvW is a bubble bot and Zerker in GvG isn't a thing compared to other DPS classes (and that zerker with banner is the class I play the most). HEalbreaker in PvP is something good in my opinion, but I'm on silver so who knows.
The thing is Spellbreaker is a good tank but a mediocre support. I personally want a real support with healing and/OR buffing abilities.
Well, Firebrand can be used as either support or condition damage, and I think power is good too. I want the same, it doesn't need to be 100% support.

> How is that fun tho? How will that allow you to tag bags? How will it feel like warrior and not guardian (the heavy armored profession with plenty of support capabilities). In the end what we say here doesn't matter, but I've yet to see anyone proposing a meaningful spec focused on "support" that feels like warrior and is not just some type of support we can get by fixing core (mobile banners on the warrior, with pulsing boons when traited on top of their flat stat increase, would take care of a lot of folk who want to support as warriors). Boom, Discipline, Tactics and ANY spec and you got yourself a support. Berserker does damage well, SPellbreaker does strips well. The new specs needs something NEW for warrior, not something we already have and can buildcraft with.

In my opinion it doesn't have to be a copy of the guardian, I think warrior makes more sense buffing allies, giving them alacrity, might (perhaps even breaking through the 25 stacks limit) or even carrying banners on the back or something like that. A better version of the bannerslave but also compatible with wvw and pvp and ranged capabilities outside the condition longbow and the single-target rifle, able to empower itself and its allies.
Yeah, I would like that. The banner bot has a permanent place in all the raid bosses with only two abilities, imagine a well designed spec around the banners :#
