Guild Wars 2

That hammer is made for necros!!

No really.. necros lack a good aoe weapon and we only got 1x 2h weapon available to necros the hammer would be a perfect alternative, well sure, the staff is kinda aoe if mobs realy group together.
As for looks, it looks good on them as well and u can make a beefy necro toting a 2h melee weapon as well without looking out of place.

I’m pretty sure the staff is considered our AoE weapon….

I’m not saying I wouldn’t want a hammer – but right now they are having enough trouble making all the weapon skills we’ve got actually work and synergise well, without adding more weapons in the mix.

As a stop gap, I’d love to get some more amazing looking necro-style skins for weapons. Right now it seems like all the really awesome looking stuff is reserved for guardian/warrior two handers.

Yeah that and the coming asian release.

There is The crossing and Final Rest that i know of, to name a couple, still the cd on the marks is a bit long though but still very usefull.
Future will tell i guess if we get more weapon types or not.

The boss in the Giant fractal is a necro and has a hammer. So why not?

Technically he is a guardian whos Symbols just look like wells since they are oversized.

Yea when he starts blasting out light I don’t think necro I think guardian with a book.

in gw2 Guardians are ’’Good’’ but Guardians in general are guardians of ancient knowledge, about faith, about wisdom and about zeal and those things are not Legally GOOD, they may be Evil, or Neutral.

Wait…. we lack a good AoE weapon? Do some research before posting.
For condi: Staff + Scepter/Dagger = AoE through the roof. To be exact, you have 10 spells with those 2 weapon sets.
8 out of 10 of those affect more than one target, 6 of those are ground-targeted-AoE spells.

A polearm could work quite well As a new weapon for the whole game… why not? I find a hammer slightly too “blunt” for a Necro. They use sharp or witch/warlock – like things.
