Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I am just wondering if anyone knows a good hammer build for PvE and dungeons leaning towards offensive rather than defensive (if there is any)

Thanks all i appreciate it

Hammer isn’t that useful in PVE unfortunatly – the damage is sub par, and while the cc can be nice at times for groups of mobs, if your group is strugling with trash packs the chances are it’s in trouble anyway.

I’m not much of a pve’r but from memory there are plenty of viable PVE Warrior specs, but most use GS and Axe/Mace if I remember rightly

No.

Hammer can be used on leveling and after reaching lvl80 mostly in fractals.

When something is done with NPCs which in that time deals more dmg than players then you need cc which is from hammer. CC for keeping NPCs alive so they can deal the damage. For example the ascalonian fracs map.

The only time that is even useful is when you just stun the trash mobs getting to the boss for it and thats to just slow the mobs damage so you dont die instantaneously.

Hammer is only good for 1 thing in PvE it’s burst skill to stun 5 things. Other than that it’s useless as a DPS weapon in PvE as the foes don’t dodge every little thing.

I tried to use a hammer for a warrior in PvE for the longest time and it’s just not a viable weapon no matter what the build. It will always be shown up by the other weapons regardless in terms of raw damage except for maybe sword but even then I think the bleeding damage will make it shine over in terms of just damage.

Here’s what you need to do :

Take the hammer
Put it into the trashcan next to mace
Hopefully the garbage truck comes in early morning

If you must…

That is probably the best DPS hammer build available. Fast hands not so needed since you don’t have Sigil of Battle and the Greatsword is best for a quick burst of 2-3-4-5 swap and then hammer autos until target is dead.
