That is a pretty versatile build. It can support any 1h or 2h weapons, you can even get a mace/shield perma protection from it. Problem is its missing the monster traits like AH n Monks Focus. Buildcraft has a neat little ‘Effective Power’ calculation, the higher the value the more damage you could potentially do. The value doesn’t take into account everything though, just gives you a feel for where you’re at. It is weapon specific so don’t compare the value across weapons or classes.
With a couple changes you could kick up your damage. Run Sigil of Accuracy or Force, Throw on Berserker’s armor n Ruby Orbs instead of Knights and run Omnom Pies and Superior stones.
Hammer loves Altruistic Healing. You can ‘face tank’ stuff longer than normal by improving your Boon Duration and Symbol length. But that requires Valor 30.
Lotsa ways to go, your build will be effective but if you really want to just smack stuff with a 2h weapon I would suggest Hammer/AH 0/0/30/30/10 with dps focused gear. There is a great sticky on the subject at the top of this forum. I don’t play AH all the time but for groups that are new or running harder content I’ll switch back to it. Its a great cushion for learning the class and dungeons.
DPS, I like Sword/Torch Scepter/Focus 10/30/30/0/0. Its challenging but doable and you can get real good numbers from it. Mace can be substituted for Sword in tough spots. I’ve been able to achieve higher sustained dps with this over any GSword or Hammer I’ve run but the community here debates what weapon has the best dps.
Response is mainly geared to PvE. Find what works for you.
