Guild Wars 2

So there’s a nerf incoming..to hammer!

Earthshaker. Reduced damage by 20%.
Staggering Blow. Reduced damage by 23%.

What the kitten? Hammer doesn’t have OP damage.

Edit: If this nerf is because other classes feel like Warriors are OP. Then buff other classes. Don’t nerf the hammer for Warrior, it isn’t even needed.

This has been coming since Warriors jumped on the Hammer Wagon way back when. Our natural tankiness plus our heavy regen made us hard to deal with in a normal setting. Seriously, I found it amazing most classes could kill warriors as we CC’ed them into the dirt. Hammer itself is weak compared to most weapons, but in combination with unsuspecting Foe, we could hit anything in medium to low armor for 3k auto attacks, every 7 seconds. Plus Sigil of Para was bugged so that made things much worse. Honestly the change sucks, but all it means is I have to play a little smarter, and not harder.

Did I mention our near perma-stability and condition cleanse/immunity? I realize changes were needed because we couldn’t keep up with the condition meta, but this, with the above stated… it honestly was too much.

So fix the bugs. Nerf damage. Move skills to break builds. Problem solved right Arenanet? This is a kittening joke. How can you make such a great game and just figure out ways to make people not want to play it?

try playing elementalist if you think warrior has problems…

Hammer does far too much damage for it’s level of control. The auto attack chain hasn’t been touched. ES and SB should be solely for the lengthy stun and knockdown, they do far too much damage as is.

That’s called a power creep, and is totally crippling to MMOs.

It’s the signet that needs the nerf, not the hammer, if anything make signet tick every 3 seconds but buff the heal by 100%, or tick every 2 seconds but buffed by 50%.

Theres something call stability, which counter everything a hammer can do.
