Need advice on Hammer build
Did you mean to have Warrior’s Sprint replaced with Inspiring Shouts?
The problem with the build is twofold (1) there is a clear intent to use Unsuspecting Foe as much as possible but the utility choice (Shouts) does not line up with that and (2) the build lacks mobility/condition removal options.
One (if not the most important) aspect of PvP for melees is having perma-swiftness and mobility-condition removal available as much as possible. This build will see a lot of spike damage output (when Unsuspecting Foe is in effect) and be in trouble when under focus fire because you are using Berserker gear.
Some options I would highly consider is using Soldier’s Rune set and keep the Shouts with Adrenaline gain talent mentioned above. Another option is to take Mobile Strikes as well. I would drop Rampage for Signet of Rage and use a secondary warhorn (in your other weapon set) for close-to-perma-swiftness with the Elite.
I think I would also use Mending as a healing skill in this build but that’s getting into personal preferences. Berserker gear should probably be mixed with Knight or Valkyrie for more durability (another important issue with melee troubles in WvW).
The weapon sigil is personal preference but the more glass cannon, the more Sigil of Blood/Energy is probably your best return. And the more tank build while retaining critical chance, the more you should look to Sigil of Bloodlust/Air/Fire.

First of all thanks for your answer
and yeah i missclicked i wanted to take the shout thing
Which Utilitys would you recommend for lining up with Unsuspecting Foe?
The idea with the Warhorn i think is a great one, didn’t know what to pick in second set
Changing the Equip to a more tanky one is also a good point
Dropping Rampage for Signet of Rage seems a logical choice for PvP, but what about Pve, would Unsuspecting Foe work well with it or is the signet still better?
