First off, love the revenant class. The only complaint I have is that the legend’s abilities seem to lack a little… oomph I guess?

That. And hammers. Hammers are by far my favorite fantasy weapon. Especially if the animations make it look like my character is strong enough to wield it easily.

Long distance? Really? Okay fine. But Hammer 1 is just weird. The other abilities are fine I suppose, but I really would’ve liked them to at least use a similar base attack to the warrior. ITS A GIANT HAMMER. Its supposed to feel like you can smash the heads of dragons or break castle walls, not do a small circular motion and shoot a ball of mist. Sigh… rant over.

Hammer is a melee weapon that can be used from range. Only skill 1 is a projectile. Its amazing. Hammer is really good. Also you might have noticed that you are throwing hammers at people. How boss is that?!

My biggest issue with the hammer is that basically all of its skills except 1 don’t work properly on uneven terrain or cliffs, the latter of which tends to be one of the best places to normally swap to a ranged weapon for things.

I love rev hammer to the death. Everything about it. The skills functionality, the feel, the sounds, the animations, the skill effects. Only problem are the bugs as Sylari said above.

What?! Rev hammer is AWESOME! 1 hits like a truck and looks awesome, plus it pierces without being traited. 2 is awesome also, but the terrain bug is a problem. 3 gives an evade, looks awesome, and has a blast finisher. 4 is one of the lowest CD projectile defenses in the game, and combos for lifesteal (works very nicely with enchanted daggers and IO). 5 is an aoe knockdown (breakbars) and blast finisher.

I really don’t see how this weapon could be any more awesome without making it over the top. Maybe have number 2 apply cripple or torment.

Throwing hammers is cool.
Turning into mist, jump-slamming your target, and then returning is cool.
Creating a giant hammer in the air is cool.
Having a basic 1-2-3 hammer combo so that it feels like swinging a hammer into the enemy’s face WOULD be cool, but then they replaced it with what they have now.
Also yes, glitches abound with terrain differences.

Hammer #5 is very strong. AoE cc without rooting the character.

Honestly if you’re interested in the flavor of the weapons themselves, you’re really better off playing a warrior, ranger or possibly thief. Pretty much every other class uses weapons as a means of expressing their existing abilities. Sometimes that’s in really strange ways, such as mesmer GS.

Not going to lie, it would be the coolest weapon in the game if it was a melee auto, or had impactful auto chain throw animations.

Now it’s just awesome.

hammer is probably the best rev weapon hands down, and probably the best weapon in the expansion. DH longbow, while I thought it was garbage, is actually up there with it as well. Honorable mention to Scrapper hammer as well

Nah, sword is the best rev weapon, but still hammer is great.

Hammer is imo nr 1 Rev weap (Especially if they fix bugs). Sword is 2nd. Mace 3rd.

It’s perfect tbh and only needs to have bugs associated with terrain fixed.

Hammer’s only problem is the terrain issue on coalescence of ruin (coolest name of a skill in a game I’ve ever heard of) I love hammer I feel like I’m hurling small cars at people. I also think hammer 5 should do more defiance bar damage

Hammer could be the ultimate power wep if it had same functionality as spear aa being melee (a more powerful variant) or ranged depending on target distance

I used to be a power ranger, now not sure anymore

while I think the 3 is better than the 5… ive come to love the 5 due to how it breaks bars. However, thinking about pvp/wvw/pve I agree with you, 5 would have to go

I love Rev hammer. I finally get to show off my Juggernaut that’s been collecting dust on my Guardian.
Skill one is fine I kinda wish the projectile visibility was bigger, so it looks like a sizable mist hammer being thrown. Or adding a projectile effect to the Juggernaut, that would be perfect.

A tat faster speed though.. though quickness on demand solves this for awhile.

I wish they use your hammer skin and not the generic ones you use hammer skills. Imagine Hammer 5 summoning a giant Juggernaut and smashing people below it.

Hammer 1 is cool, but i must admit, i will prefer you throw YOUR hammer, and not a grey ball.
