Guild Wars 2

I am in the process of making my ascended armor and I would appreciate your opinion on which armor to get taking into account the coming patch. I usually do WvW, PVE, Dungeons and FOTM. Would it be better going for Cavalier and a Hammer or Berseker and a GS/axe?
I enjoy playing both so I am looking for their merits and demerits. Thanks!

Well cavalier isnt limited to hammer, and berserker isnt exclusive to axe/GS. Common runes for cavalier are lyssa, and common runes for zerker are melandru. Each set of runes makes up for what the gear itself lacks. So youre really just choosing runes. Cavalier/lyssa or zerker/melandru? Lyssa axe/GS is great with cav/lyssa, and hammer is great with zerk/melandru. Its just different playstyles

If you’re going to make ascended, go with berserker – especially since you mentioned both PvE and FotM.

Also, hammer is only good in WvW. It’s essentially never the ideal weapon to use outside of WvW and sPvP. Very low damage and there are far more effective methods of dealing with trash than using a hammer (LOSing them and 100b > whirlwinding into a wall/object).
