Loading.4503 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hey fellow warriors, just wanted to hop in and see how everyone is feeling from a SB point of view in wvw roaming. I'm having a fun time so far playing d/sh with h/gs fighting all these new specs and stuff but one thing I didn't expect to be horrible imo is fighting another spellbreaker 1v1. Omg it's such a boring fight, worst than fighting annoying thief and Mesmer builds. It's a giant game of countering counter and waiting out invulns. It was worst than 2 stealth heavy thieves dueling lol. But aside from that, it's been a nice change of gameplay with spell breaker, just wanted to see how others are feeling about it for wvw roaming.

Red Haired Savage.5430 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I've had fun with it, haven't tried the d/sh setup yet, just been rocking d/d and GS or H still deciding which I want more...if i knew people wouldn't run away I'd do hammer all day over GS.

Mikeskies.1536 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 SB v SB is interesting. Based on my testing, (1) Strength DD SB beats (2) Defense DS SB in a 1 v 1 because of the greater offensive pressure. I find (1) more entertaining to play than (2), but, due to the existence of Scourge, (2) is really the only way to deal with Scourge as (1) will just melt.

Loading.4503 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I've ran both str and def but yea just like u said, not just cause of scout she but condies everywhere in general, I stuck with def. Still messing with a lot of weapon combos, everything is pretty fun so far, surprised that hammer m/sh is working out pretty good for me. Being able to bait people back towards me with counter helps with the lack of mobility since I don't have to chase after them, just make them chase towards me instead. And with the super speed we get now on top of mace and hammer being able to land some hard hitting cc blows, it makes a deadly lockdown build.

schloumou.3982 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If the only class you dont enjoy fighting is the one you play its a pretty good hint of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not warriors I don't like fighting as a warrior or any other professions vs a warrior, just specifically a spellbreaker vs a spellbreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnytown.7801 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Spellbreaker vs. Spellbreaker is the most fun to me. You both have full counter, and are both trying to do it, so it's hilarious when you both do it at the same time expecting an attack. Reminds me of parry fishers in Dark Souls just flailing their shields in each other's faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ario.8964 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Good way to instantly shift the fight to your favor: Intentionally hit their full counter and use your counter to block their hit then watch them eat yours. Now they got damaged, are down a full counter and adrenaline, and you have more regen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarettellis.7813 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I love fighting other SB's lol its hilarious. Been having so much fun testing out new builds roaming in wvw. Heavy Block/Stunlocks: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRApc4enMdAVhgdhAu6CciglrADJAkAKAK5gEXNAfDHiPxA-jVCGABBq+zUKBx/BAUm+B7PCAqv/w9nAAAOIAEp8jUAaOGA-w (So many reflects, stuns, blocks. One fun thing I found out is most cannot tell the difference between Full Counter yet. So I will bait out a mace block, than while they think they are safe make them eat a Full Counter) Leap Barrier: Now this one is something I found to be just so out of the blue, most go "wth?". Basically with your three leaps on dagger/shield you can get three barriers at any time with the bow fire field. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAT4enMdAVhgdhAu6CciglrADJAkAKA4d4Q8JOpDsB6fA-jVCFQBA4CAsvDCgfUCmHdDUS9HC8AAsiyP+dEAA5+DkCQzxAA-w Crit Evis Burst: pretty simple, just like the a/sh burst build. just uses d/sh for second set. Start in d/sh, get your stuns in (build adrenaline) swap to axe->eviscerate-->wastrels ruin-->full counter. Usually kills them. If not, hit sight beyond sight and have another crit eviscerate. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRAnY4enMdAVhgdhA26CciglrADJAkAKAK5gWXNAvDHiTxA-jVCFABFq+Ta6H2/IAgwJAg/DCASK/cf/BAeAAXpEkUAaOGA-w Mace Bait: Now this one, just abuses mace block+ full counter+ wastrels ruin burst. Like with build one, you can bait their attack with mace block, hit with full counter, than quickly wastrel for a nice burst. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQRApY4enMdAVhgdhA26CciglrADJAkAKAK5gWXNAvDHiPxA-jFCHABzfEACT/AAnAAz3f4Jlg0/QA6T9HgU+RKANHDA-w Most of these are one on one roaming builds. But can easily handle up to 3 opponents. Just need to prioritize who you attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loading.4503 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Jarettellis Yea I'm having fun experimenting also. I like ur leap barrier one, I was thinking of making something with leaps for fire aura also with a condi set. Was going to try d/sh lb with guardian runes and see how that goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
