Guild Wars 2

Just wondering I know we are getting them decently soon and ill be glad to see them as soon as possible, but anyone have ideas or speculations on what abilities we will be given? I want to say it may act a lot like the Lightning hammer from ele’s, but thats just me I do hope it provides decent mobility as well as nice damage. Any other engineers already crafted an ascended hammer for when we gain access to these amazing weapons? Below is kind of what I was hoping for in terms of abilities.

H1: A1 simple smash
A2 Cleave attack
A3 Ground aoe radius 120 applies cripple 1 sec Burning (lightning bolt animation like ele hammer)

H2: Leap with blast finisher radius 180-240 either one decent burst

H3: Smash the ground with the hammer handle sends a current of lighting out striking 5 nearest enemies and granting might per target hit for 15 sec

H4: Lighting bolt strikes the hammer and hits enemies within a 240 radius (high burst aoe) Blast finisher as well

H5: Leap with aftershock effect damage on landing sends out a shock wave applying torment to up to 5 enemies hit by the shockwave 240 radius as well

These are just some of my ideas not sure about names or damage boon gains really just some mobility i would love to see with aoe melee damage. Maby a grandmaster trait allowing 1 sec of stability on crits with hammer with a 5 sec cd or something as well

Can you link how you know we’re getting them decently soon?

I’m not challenging you, as soon as I heard they wanted to spread the existing weapons around to other professions I instantly though Engineer = hammer, but I’m curious if you’ve seen something beyond more speculation.

This is the best info i have gotten atm. I’m not sure when but from this seems like it wont be to far off.

Okay. So while I agree with you it is likely we get hammers at some point hopefully in 2013, nothing has been confirmed yet.

Wrong forum – Suggestions forum is more relevant

And i disagree. ANet should fix the engineer’s class before they even begin thinking of adding new skills or weapons

I would still take a hammer over some class fixes mainly im tired of my rifle being a melee weapon most of the times if i wanted to go melee why not just go full out instead of half and half ? besides there can be some crazy builds to come out of hammer maby hgh hammer? full gadgets?
