Power Dragonhunter

This build provides very good burst dps, CC, and Vulnerability while having multiple skills allowing you to mitigate incoming damage. It’s easy to pick up which makes it a popular pick in raids, but it will take a while to master.

Build Fundamentals

You want to keep in mind that all high damage skills should be used in combination with Spear of Justice to increase your burst damage via Big Game Hunter.

High uptime of Resolution is very important as you get a 25% critical chance from Righteous Instincts. That’s why having multiple Power Dragonhunters or Power Core Guardians in the same party is ideal as they will benefit from Resolution from Symbol of Resolution.

Important Notes

Hunter's Verdict will increase your damage by 15% while tether is active, and Bane Signet will increase your power, that’s why you should avoid using signed and breaking tether unless you really need CC.

Leap of Faith is a good movement skill if you find yourself in the need of it, so is Wings of Resolve, but keep in mind it will also heal your party and yourself and will cleanse conditions from yourself which might come in handy in some encounters.

Use Shield of Courage to block attacks or to share Aegis with your party. This is particularly useful in situations, where normal Aegis is unreliable because can be stripped by environmental attacks, that’s because Shield of Courage will grant Aegis at a set intervals.

If there are multiple targets around, you can use Binding Blade inside the hitbox to hit a single target up to 5 times.

To heal up quickly after taking damage or to counter high damage pressure use Litany of Wrath.

Use Sword of Justice instead of Greatsword Autoattacks if you have excess charges and you have Spear of Justice active.

Spear of Justice cooldown can be reset by killing enemies due to Renewed Justice. Make sure to not waste it by using it while your high damaging skills are on cooldown.

CC (Crowd Control)

• Binding Blade Pull (150)
• Bane Signet (300)

• "Advance!" for Swiftness and more Aegis.
• Hammer of Wisdom / Sanctuary for more CC.
• Wall of Reflection for projectile reflects.

You can replace Dragon's Maw with "Feel My Wrath!" if you don’t need CC or you lack Quickness or Fury.

Traits
