Description
Shieldbreaker is a Sword and Shield Stamina Warden PVE DPS Build! The build is using One Hand and Shield as its main Weapon to deal damage and fulfill the role of DPS.
Although a traditional Tanking Weapon, you can use Sword and Shield effectively as a DPS weapon with the right setup. Shieldbreaker offers two different setups, one with Trial gear and one without.
It is also a great DPS Build for Group or Solo gameplay.
If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Warden Beginner Guide.
If you are looking for a Solo PVE Build for Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows, take a look at my Stamina Warden Solo Build.
You can find more Builds in the Warden Builds page.
