guardian vs war hammer ?
They are both CC weapons. They just handle it a little differently. The Warrior hammer has an AOE stun as its premier feature, whereas Guardian hammer has a 5 second blast finisher. They’re both good, but the Guardian hammer is focused more on defense whereas the warrior one is a little more about setting up offensive combinations.
Painbow.6059: Ignore what anyone else who doesn’t agree with me has said because its wrong.
Stability ruins Warrior Hammer more than Guardian.
Guardian Hammer, imo, is much better for control: Imobilize, 5s Blast, Protection, Ring.
Guardian, because Skyhammer cannon room.
depends on the setting, in WvW Warrior hammer is devastating, combined with the immobilize traits you can lock down groups of people for a long time.
in PvE I’d say Guardian hammer, perma protection and a low cooldown blast finisher trumps anything that the Warrior hammer can bring
if you happen to not have stability (or well-timed blinds / blocks), Warr hammer will destroy you and completely lock you down. if he happens to have a high DPS buddy, things are gonna be rough.
i don’t play a warr, just been on the receiving end of non stop CC lol. though i will say, i absolutely love the Guardian hammer as well. verastile, high sustain, does great damage. and add in a few CC’s for fun.
