Guild Wars 2

Hope you guys enjoy!
The build itself is pretty fun. It obviously has a pretty low amount of survivability, due to the Hammer having no block and/or escape tools. However, I always just make and play builds for the fun of it.

As always, my build is on my twitch, linked in the description and in my signature here on the forums. Hope you guys like the video.

Looks like fun! I remember Melanin was using the lightning hammer too in WvW and he loved it.

It’s very limiting, but those massive hits and knocking people out in seconds is great.

i guess you re playing 25 25 10 10 0?

and i belive in dungeon it could work very nice iwth some hp gear + guard with mace

Very entertaining, thanks for the video!

10/30/10/20, actually. The video is only of myself, but when I play with friends, there are lot more stuns and knockdowns to take advantage of 30 in Air.

Blowin’ people up, but at the expense of getting owned yourself shortly after. Entertaining, yeah. But wise?

Hammer’s always been good for getting some pretty numbers and feeling beefy. Looks like it could be fun but the promise of death that comes with it would offset that a bit. I really wish they’d completely remove the #4 skill for something that’s not utterly useless that complements the feel of the air element (a burst of quickness maybe?).

I also didn’t really see anyone in that video who was actually tanky, lots of uplevels and obvious glass builds.

Seem like fun, i’ll try it tonight (glass and normal build) and i don’t think i’ll lose much by using it, since i use arcane shield, lighthing flash and mist form while roaming, but i only use mist form to finish my opponent when i’m fighting more than 1 guy. I’ll try to play without mist form then.

As I said in the OP, it’s not meant to be a “best build ever”. It’s just for fun. There are tweaks you can make it to have it be more survivable, but I opted not to. (Lightning Flash to get away, for example.)

Agreed that #4 is too useless. I hope they change it, and have it so that you can move while casting #5.

As for not fighting anybody tanky, I don’t know what to say. I didn’t choose any of the opponents in the video. I just recorded myself playing for a few hours and snipped in what I got.

Never seen hammer outside Dungeons, i dont think i’m brave enough to try, but looks fun anyway ^^

That looks really fun. Might have to try this at some point. Are you in all zerker gear or what?

Yes, all Berserker exception of my backpiece because I didn’t want to spend money or do Fractals for a quick fun build.

This looks so funny and fun, I might do it one day when I get bored of escorting yaks till my eyes bleed. The only time I usually ever bring hammer is so a heavy can grab it and go to town, I immediately drop mine but I might just hold onto it next time and see where it takes me ;-)
