Guild Wars 2

I really love hammer so i would like to know which class would be a good choice for hammer gameplay, most of it will be spvp and wvwvw?

Thank you.

warrior. why? 4xCCs. and the 3 of em are AoE.

guardian 3xCC. two are aoe.

guardian hammer = ultra slow but fun knocking back your target, shame the leap is kittene when going up or down even the slightest slope >.<

Both classes can utilise the hammer well in PvP. Both can chain knockdown, though their methods are completely different so it comes down to play style.

- The warrior knockback for the Hammer is an AoE and requires players nearby.
- The Guardian knockback is single target but launches enemies at a much greater distance

- Warrior knockdown is similar to SB
- The Guardian knockdown requires your enemies to attempt to cross your ring of warding, from inside or outside.

- Warriors have an AoE cripple
- Guardians have a ranged line snare

It is also noted that the Guardian hammer auto attack also has a symbol which grants protection which could benefit the player in longer fights.

can’t speak for warrior hammer since i don’t have a warrior (well i do but i rarely play him : ((( )

- Guardians ranged line snare is also AoE if i am not mistaken
- end of chain attack #1 is a symbol + light combo field, hammer #5 is also a light field, #2 is a blast finisher, so you can pretty much always have retaliation up.
- you can trait for symbols to be very strong – larger, longer lasting, heals, vulnerability, etc.
- both #1 and #2 and PBAoE’s. pretty big range too.

lotta fun things to do with the Guardian hammer. i’ve played with Hammer Warriors too and they definitely pack a punch as well.

basically the warrior has 3 pure incapacitating CCs, which is 2 stuns and one knockback.

On the other hand, the Guardian sports just 1 incapacitating and a second one which is situational.

I have a guardian at 80 and a warrior at 43 and so far I’ve enjoy the warrior hammer more it just feels better like it’s a heavy hitter when I’m using my guardian hammer I feel like I’m swinging at air sometimes except for might blow which is awesome on flat ground.

I enjoy the control of the warrior hammer although its something they both have but for me it’s just more fun on my warrior

But the protection retaliation combo of the guardian hammer is ace when combined with altruistic healing.

Best thing to do is try them both and see which you enjoy more.
