Thundercry Blade & Stormbreaker Spear Tank PvE Build
- Very Tanky
- Great Resistances
- Easy to Play
- No Healing
- Low Damage
- Slow
Overview
This Tanking build focuses on using the two main tank weapons of Where Winds Meet, using the
Thundercry Blade and pairing it with the
Stormbreaker Spear to act as the tank in group PVE content like Challenges or others. While this build doesn't do that much damage, it is still capable of doing perfectly fine in PVE without a group, capable of finishing all Solo content even while lacking damage in comparison to pure DPS Builds.
Martial Arts
Inner Way
Morale Chant remains a very powerful skill even for a PvE tanking build, increasing damage and helping you deal with all PVE in solo play or in groups.
Battle Anthem &
Adaptive Steel increase the damage of both weapons while also adding some much needed damage to the
Thundercry Blade counter attack provided by
Exquisite Scenery.
Mystic Skills
Ghost Bind is an incredibly powerful AOE CC skill that helps you stack up mobs and prepare for your follow-up
Galecloud Cleave that wipes out most mob packs or does high enough DPS to finish off mobs.
Wolflike Frenzy is a very good single target skill too alongside
Free Morph,
Soaring Spin and
Yaksha Rush, all doing good damage while requiring little vitality.
In terms of defensive skills, you have
Golden Body to act as another shield pairing with
Predator's Shield. Another one is the
Blinding Mist, and while it has a high vitality cost, it can CC lots of enemies to finish off with
Touch of Death.
Rotations
- Begin the rotation with the
Stormbreaker Spear in your hands then use
Storm Roar to taunt enemies or the boss before swapping over to
Thundercry Blade and charging up a full
Galecloud Cleave. Follow up with another full charge
Avalanche before transitioning into
Predator's Shield to buff yourself with the shield so you remain protected against incoming attacks.
Golden Body is a skill you should use as a panic button if needed or just to negate some incoming damage that you cannot dodge out of, so make sure to pay attention and use as needed.
