Guild Wars 2

Just making a little topic to discuss hammer auto attack. As of right now my warrior is geared and specced towards using a two handed hammer and output considerable dmg. But im just finding the hammer auto attack to be lacking, most other weapons automatically put a condition on the target through auto attacks. (i know axes dont but they probably should too, and i know they can through the berserker traits but i dont think hammer should spec into that). I think hammers on the 3rd auto attack should put in some kind of debuff or condition, like exposed armor or vulnerability.

Whats your thoughts on this.

I think the 3rd attack should remain without a condi and keeping the aoe smash damage, but that the first two attacks should apply vunerability or a 1s cripple. Just my opinion though.

Also can’t increase it too much but the hammer attack speed could use a slight improvement. Most of the time when I’ve had a hammer war attempt to come after me I don’t even need to dodge roll to avoid the swings as they are the slowest thing in the game it seems. Just a quick strafe one way or the other and…. wait for it….. any day now…..here it comes……. swing, ok, back to unloading another 4 attacks into the hammer war before he swings again.

i guess the 1st or second attack or even both could apply the conditions, personally im not to fussed about the speed of the hammer, just that you have to spec into berserker to get some kind of dmg increase going. Even than its not a 100% chance, but rather a 33% chance on crit…..
