Hi,
this is my current build I invented yesterday.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJASRjMdUGalHGewJagqgC9iHAbtyeoxTeCfAA-TJRHwALLDU4JAwZ/BAXCAA

Yesterday I got fed up with playing condi war builds.
Played skull crack and enjoyed it and was good with it.
Now I want to play GS/Hammer.
I play mainly tPvP and wvw roaming.
Did I make a stupid build for tpvp?
It can do 9k+ damage on hundred blades if I get the oppurtunity when their stunned or disabled, even crippled.
I use Spiked armour for survival (I love it).
Happy with health regen.
I don’t have Mobile Strikes so I kept Dogged March.
I have Destruction of the Empowered as a damage increase but also as a threat to those bunker guards.

Now what does a GS/Hammer tpvp build look like? Is there one?
Or if this is viable how can I synergise it better.

Any good youtube channels of warriors at the top of their game playing this wpn choice? WvW or PvP. Wanna learn something.

Final thing.
Is GS noob in pvp?

Many thanks

LB F1 is used to stack might. The LB and Hammer both have Blast finishers to synergise well with Strength Runes. LB also great on-demand Cleansing Ire and synergise with Burst Mastery for more adrenaline for both bursts.

Hammer/GS is very vulnerable to kiting and the utilites you use are not as effective.

You can run GS/LB and be a 1v1 skirmisher. (Frenzy Bull’s Charge, Lyssa, Zerk 4 0 4 0 6)
You can run Hammer/Longbow and be great in a teamfight, or okay 1v1. (Triple Stance, Strength Rune, Soldier’s or Zerker, 0 0 6 2 6)
You can run AxeSword or Shield/LB and be good 1v1. (PVT, Strength, Soldier’s, 2 0 6 0 6)

all of them run Cleansing Ire, have Burst Mastery, and carry Longbow.

If you truly really really want to run it, get Leg Specialist, Burst Mastery, Dogged March, and Mobile Strikes so you can at least try to hit people kiting you, then get Zerker Amulet so you can kill them. Valk only worth it with Unsuspecting Foe, and best with the Mace Shield/GS setup.

Mace Shield/GS I’m interested. Tell me more pls.

For now I will try out the other suggestions instead while in tpvp.
I knew there was something wrong

Cheers.

Mace got nerfed so much . The skull crack animation is the biggest joke, if you are not an asura I wouldn’t suggest mace. Try longbow/GS is a lot of fun to burst like crazy, it is similar to mace/GS. CC+ 100b.

Mace/GS is still fine, it just takes readjustment after the mace nerf. It only excels in 1s and 2s though imo.

Hammer/GS is legit, but you should really drop tactics and get unsuspecting foe.

Since there’s interest in Skullcracker I’ll post my builds here:

Version 1

Version 2

The build actually really benefited from the Runes of Strength change. Mighty Defence went from “ehhh” to “yes.” Some things I’m messing around with is swapping Spiked Armor for Sundering Mace and in Version 2 Short Temper can also be good at times but if they have no blocks it’s worthless. Vs Guardians though you’ll be hitting them hard with Destruction of the Empowered and when they block you’ll get more might.

Just an angry old man…
