Is that really all a warrior does in PvP? Run around spamming 1 and occasionally hitting 3? This is a serious question as I have not played one. Or is it just Hammer warriors that would be this boring to play?
In that 27 min video I don’t think i ever saw # 2 and 4 on CD and 5 was on CD maybe twice.
Well, yes and no. Yes in that those are the main AoE damaging abilities and easier to spam, no in that those are not the only things being done in the video. #4 can be used and gives an area knockback, however, you are stationary and the skill time takes a bit so it’s hard to time. #5 can be used, but it’s mainly only a knockdown for on player which doesn’t do a whole lot for team fights.
The f1 skill adrenaline for the hammer is a leap blast finisher that stuns a large area for a longer duration based on the adrenaline level. He doesn’t use it much in the video (only watched the first bit, at work) because his heal scales to his adrenaline level. He also has his other skills running (again couldn’t see them cause at work) but I would almost bet he is a shout warrior, which is more of a support role. It heals allies and yourself, and also can cure conditions for every shout if spec’d right.
So yes, it does seem like he is just blindly spamming to some extent, but no, that is not all you typically do as a hammer warrior in a bomb like that. There are many more dimensions to the strategy than that.
EDIT: #2 is a single target weakness attack, not very useful in a zvz. Also, this is by no means the only build for warriors as there are even variations for hammer warriors other than the build I mentioned.
