Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I’m determined on making the hammer work for me in pvp. I was wondering if you guys could take a look at the build I’ve been using and give me some feedback.

I’m doing pretty good with it in sPvP. The one thing I’m having trouble with though is taking on more than one at a time. Especialy if I’m trying to get a kiter cornered, by the time they are stuck in a corner or against a wall one of their teamates comes and whoops me ( especialy those dang theifs lol ). Out in the open, it’s a bit diff because I try to " juggle " them with the control effects so after their dodges I’ll leap / port to them and try to manage my time on 3 and 5 skill. Still for some reason I’m having trouble with 2v1’s or multiple enemies I should say. Can any of you guys offer up some tips / advice? I’m loving the hammer, but feel a bit naked with it at the same time. Though I’m determined to stick with 2h hammer and make it work for me lol.

The idea was to keep burns, retaliatons and aegis up while managing control(s)

Sorry about the double post, dunno what happened there.

I’ll just give my thoughts, I think you have missed some pretty decent traits, like Signet Mastery+Inscribed Removal (I have found Condition Removers to be very helpful).

Personally I leave the Zeal line because I don’t find much useful in there, I find much more desirable traits in Valor and rely more on Critical Damage for my damage than out right Power (Which still doesn’t seem to be lacking from the lack of points in Zeal).

I’ll post my build, and you can see if there’s any thing you can take away from it:

Will a full stack of a condition be removed with Inscribed Removal and Smite Condition? Also do those two have some sort of priority order in what they remove? Or is it a random removal? Say you have 8 stacks of bleed, a poison and a chill. Would much rather have the bleeds off than the other two for sure.

My other question is: Is Purity on the same time with Signet of Resolve’s passive? Or do they alternate every five seconds?
