Knight GW + Sigil of Rage
Knight Hammer + Sigil of Rage
Cleric Staff + Sigil of Battle (Bloodlust?)

Is that good?

after the quickness nerf, i would avoid sigils of rage, since they aren’t as silly now as they once were. sigil of fire is a popular choice, and even just a major one can fill your needs if you’re low on cash. others include accuracy, force, air, strength, and blood.

as far as the actual weapons they are solid choices.

Fear not me, but the Tempest that I am!

For me nothing beats Blood, Blood, and oh yes – Blood, and the best Lifesteal food with the best Maintenance Oil you can afford. 40%+ Crit. chance before food. If second weapon set (scepter-torch?) Accuracy or Force are my choices, depending on current base Crit. chance.

In PvE, where I almost never go down, building 25 stacks with a stacker like Bloodlust and then putting on a different boost is great, but in WvW you are going to get downed and lose your stacks way too often, unless you are being way to timid, imo, and are forfieting the always works at full power advantage of a permanent sigil.

Yes? O.o

Personally I would not carry a hammer on what is presumably a crit build (otherwise knights is pointless), I’d carry the greatsword – swoop in and spin around for devastating damage. For WvW, the staff unfortunetly take up the secondary slot (its just too usefull).

I thought carrying 3 Hammers was a bit much…

Hammers hit so hard, they should be able to smash a symbol into someone’s face and have it follow them around instead of being stationary on the ground..

Both GSword and Hammer are good, just depends on how you like to play. GSword is quicker but Hammer has great utility if you can be patient and wait for the right time to use it. Both have similar damage output, GSword is more bursty and Hammer has sustain. You’ll never go wrong with Staff in WvW

I use the Guardian of Lyssa build that I found here http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/73978-guardian-of-lyssa-build-unkillable-self-healer-w-great-dps/ It is awesome in pve/wvw and I use it in spvp with success although I don’t play that too often. In wvw it allows you to be the first to push into an enemy zerg and often the last one standing should the push fail.

like in the link I use a Knights GS + Accuracy and a Knights staff + Hydromancy.
You can probably find a better sigil than hydromancy but I’ve come to really like it.
In my opinion staff is by far the best weapon in wvw if you are specced right, I see it as something of a shotgun as you can just tear holes in zergs with it.

I also carry a hammer for fights at Hills in borderlands, as there is nothing more satisfying than just smacking someone off the cliff there.
