Power Bladesworn

The Power Bladesworn is a strong build for Warrior in fractals. It has more initial burst than Power Berserker thanks to Dragon Trigger , but loses sustained damage in favor of short damage spikes. Along with this Power Bladesworn provides a lot of boon support to a party, sharing Might from traits along with optional utility skills like "For Great Justice!" which can carry a party with low boon uptime by providing 12 stacks of Might (becomes 20 stacks, taking into account Might from traits) and a high Fury uptime.

The Power Bladesworn is one of the harder builds to play in fractals dues to its quick rotation, relying on maintaining damage modifiers and your highest damaging skill locking you in place, requiring good positioning during fights. Furthermore, the build benefits from damage modifying sigils like Superior Sigil of Impact as well as slaying potions such as Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet's Armies .

Rotation / Skill usage

Golem rotations out of the raid builds are generally suboptimal in fractals due to Exposed and phases being much shorter compared to raids. The raid rotations are optimized for sustained DPS while in fractals a player needs the ability to adapt a rotation to the amount of time a group needs to finish a phase.

Casting Mending for Peak Performance is only a DPS gain if you can’t be hitting something else, use it right before the start of DPS phases but only use it during if you need the heal.
Triggerguard and Flicker Step in Dragon Trigger are used in the rotation, but should be saved to use to deal with mechanics if needed.
The blade from Relic of Peitha has a travel time, this means if you Flicker Step too far away from a targets hitbox and instantly use Dragon Slash—Force , it will hit before the 10% damage increase from the relic procs. Make sure you ideally Flicker Step into a targets hitbox, or at the furthest, half the hitboxes diameter away to proc Relic of Peitha before Dragon Slash—Force .
