Hambow build please?
http://intothemists.com/guides/3535-stronk_warrior_hambow
Its designed to be a PvP build so if you try and take it into WvW it won’t work the same. There are many small variations between builds, these are the mostly commonly seen/used.
PvP Variations:
Runes – Strength/Hoelbrak/Melandru
Accessories – Berserker/Knights/Soldier
Hammer Sigils – Intelligence/Battle/Energy/Paralyzation/Impact/Fire
Bow Sigils – Battle/Energy/Fire/Leeching
Hi Guys,
I’m currently running the hambow build with my team with quite some sucess (top 30 EU in Tpvp),
I play like this :

What’s your rĂ´le ?
Well basically you are a node defender in your team, your role is to tank a point and help your teammates in the teamfight,
What you need to do during the game is :
_Announce your CC’S skills to prepare discharge for your DPS mates ( be it an immo or a stun or a knock down )
_Announce when you are low on cd to ask your support mates to help you on the node
_Kite Kite Kite Kite Kite Kite when you’re the target
_Announce when u will die try to stay close to your bunker ( guardian for example )
_Organize relays on point with your bunker and your node closer
What do you need to do to play a good Hambow :
_First of all never use your 3 stances at the same time
_Never use all your CC’S in one phase on the hammer (try to optimize your combo’s)
_Combo’s on hammer is usually in pair like 3 then F1 or 4 then 5
_Don’t be afraid to dodge, with the vigor it will come back pretty fast
_Bind a touch to break your CC’S skills when you will see that they will fail ( that require good concentration but it’s not very hard )
_Never Ever Use your Healing signet
_Use the banner wisely
With that being said you can become a good Hambow if you follow those basics rules.
Apart from that, it exist many variations of the build in itself, some prefers to play with other traits, some with other amulets, some with other sigils and runes, but the build the most played right now is this one with rage signet instead of banner.
