Warriors should be more proficient in both PvP and PvE after the next update as it contains only buffs for the profession. This is especially true for dual-wielding characters who will get some of the best buffs.
Spellbreaker buffs are mainly meant to make them better in PvE. Some PvE buffs include:
- Break Enchantments' damage has been increased by 50 per cent and the damage increase is now 300 per cent when removing a boon
- Loss Aversion's damage has been increased by 50 per cent
- Dual Strike's quickness duration per hit up to two seconds from 1.5s
- Counterblow recharge time is now seven seconds, down from 10
There are also general buffs that will work in both PvE and PvP:
- Brave Stride will now grant stability when using a movement skill instead of entering combat
- Can be reapplied every 10 seconds, lasts two seconds in PvP
- Can be reapplied every one second, lasts five seconds in PvE
- Crushing Blow grants 10 vulnerability stacks, down from 15 but grants three stacks of might for six seconds on hit
- If you strike a foe suffering from CC effects, the effects are doubled
- Impale now causes pulsing one-second cripple on top of the torment stacks
- Using Rip successfully grants 10 stacks of might for five seconds
- Riposte now causes eight instead of four bleeding stacks on a successful block
- Bleeding duration down to eight seconds from 12
- Mending now cleanses five conditions, up from three
Just like there were buffs for Spellbreaker in PvE, there are also buffs for Berserkers in PvP and WvW:
- Savage Instinct is now same in PvP and PvE, using the two-second duration for Feel No Pain
- Outrage cooldown down to 20 seconds from 25
- Decapitate power coefficient up from 1.666 to 2.0 (around 16.7 per cent damage increase)
- Blood Reckoning now causes 33 per cent of outgoing damage to heal you, up from 25 per cent
- Extends Berserk duration by five seconds, up from two
General PvP and WvW buffs include:
- Cyclone Axe power coefficient per strike increased from 0.66 to 0.75 (~12 per cent damage increase)
- Throw Axe count recharge is now 12 seconds, down from 15
- Breaching Strike power coefficient increased from 0.7 to 0.9 (~22.22 damage increase)
