I wish hammer was better for pve
I really hope it gets better im wvw as well…
The AA is ok
2 its just weakness on 3 targets on a to long cd.
3 its just cripple… sure its range but yeah just cripple on a lond cd.
4 a knockback
5 a hard to land single target 2 second knockdown on an way to high cd
also you would thing that a hammer would do massiv dmg… nope
lets compare warrior hammer 5 with revenant hammer 5
Warrior:
1 Second Casttime
30 Second Cooldown
Melee Range 130
Knockdown for 2 Seconds
1 Target
Revenant:
1 3/4 Second Casttime
15 Second Cooldown
1200 Range
Knockdown for 2 Seconds
5 Targets

you know what I was just talking to people about how good the Rev hammer is, and I thought about this thread and just saw this. Comparing it to Rev, it needs a SERIOUS buff
I love using hammer for pve. Only thing that makes it bad is the bosses tend to be immune to cc. If Anet can fix that were cc plays a role again, then hammer will rock.

Be careful when you compare anything to Revenant counterpart. Rev’s skills have both energy cost and cd. It has to be balanced differently.
You cant compare ranged Rev hammer to Warrior melee hammer the energy cost/system is really irrelevant for Rev hammer though autos and skill 2 are free/cheap.
Engineer next beta and guardian hammers are/will be better comparisons. Revenant only has 1 ranged weapon it has to be good otherwise the class literally cannot do anything outside of melee range.
^ while I agree with both of you that comparing to Rev in most situations isnt wise due to the energy costs Rev has to worry about, but from what I remember, Rev hammer is VERY kind in terms of energy usage. 2/3 used close to no energy from what I remember and the 2 has a what… 2nd cd? just sayin
