On Sword/Focus:

Power virtues willbender is a fast paced build that takes advantage of Restorative Virtues to reduce the cooldown of weapon skills by using multi-hit abilities while any of the virtues effects are active.

While easy to pick up and perform at a competent level, mastering this build will take some time due to the need to cancel the aftercasts of certain skills such as Symbol of Resolution and Zealot's Defense, as well as avoiding as many hits as possible to keep Unscathed Contender up.

Build fundamentals

Skill priority

Rather than using a static rotation, the idea of this build is to use the main damage skills in each weapon set and fill in the holes with the remaining skills or auto attacks.

Sustain and Mobility

Willbender is very mobile thanks to its virtues, Rushing Justice, Flowing Resolve and Crashing Courage can be used to get closer to enemies or move away in dangerous situations.

Crashing Courage Will provide Aegis as well as Stability after a short cast time.

Shield of Wrath Is an instant cast 3-attack block that can be useful to maintain precious aegis uptime.

Alternatives
