Legendary Weapon
Lets not talk about the looks, but greatsword is much more useful in most situation.
But legendaries are all about looks…
I would also state that it really depends on your group setup if GS is more useful then Hammer. I only venture into W3 with my guild group which packs a lot of dps already, so bringing a GS is not the important factor. Hammer on the other hand brings a lot of utility I can use to support my group.
PVE I often find that my gun is the best choice anyway, so the GS vs Hammer discussion is not that relevant from my point of view.
But want I really wanted to know is… what legendary are you going for and why?
Back when i did PvE still i was going for Jugg. Then i realized I am probably gonna use GS way more, but didn’t have it in me to grind for twlight since it was a good ~300-400G more to complete than jugg. Ended up selling all my jugg mats and making a volcanus instead (and now i quit PvE basically except when i run wvw with guild – yes, i consider wvw basically pve heh.)
Just build the one for the weapon you plan on using the most. Nothing worse than building a shiny legendary then realizing you don’t really want to use that weapon type.
