Guild Wars 2

I’m looking for an updated version of the Hammer GS guard for Fractals using the new system. Does anyone have it?

The sticky is up to date. Also, mace is better than gs for hammer.

Obal

Hammer + Mace/Torch
Best for an easy time. Use if you feel the need.
Good for CC for some events
Use Focus at start for Shield of Wrath then swap to Torch
Use Focus for fights only if you need to do block rotations
Builds:
Damage Build
Use when you don’t need much/any utility

• Zeal – Fiery Wrath, Kindled Zeal, Symbolic Avenger
• Radiance – Right-hand strength, Radiant Fire, Amplified Wrath
• Honor – Invigorated Bulwark, Empowering Might, Writ of Persistence

Utility Build
Use if you need utility

• Zeal – Fiery Wrath, Kindled Zeal, Symbolic Avenger
• Honor – Invigorated Bulwark, Empowering Might, Writ of Persistence
• Virtues – Unscathed Contender or Master of Consecrations (When Needed), Supreme Justice or Absolute Resolution (When needed), Permeating Wrath (Solo) or Battle Presence (Group) or Indomitable Courage (When Needed)

So not as cut and dry as the old setup, you’ll be swapping between Virt/Radiance most likely between encounters. Need Projectile defense or support and Virtue is your thing, just wanna blow things up while providing support from a lot of protection and or healing, Radiance is your man. Radiance allows for the double Zealots Flame, which hits hard, plus other uses.

I’m loving the setup, finally made my ascended torch, now if they’d just give me a reason to use shield I might make it to actually full ascended everything.

Yeah, my poor little flameseaker, sure it looked cool. But it just sets in my bag, yearning for a chance to prove its not useless. To bad that day never comes.
