Guild Wars 2

Hello there everyone!

I have been using a hammer since I started my warrior and I use it in every situation, WvW PvP and PvE content! I love WvW, my build is always optimal for WvW!

Post you hammer builds here! Everyone can critique it and we can all share our information!

I’ll start the flow, here is my hammer build,

Sometimes I run Hammer + Axe/Shield and sometimes I run Hammer + Sword/Shield (Trying this out a lot now, really like it so far)
And when necessary I run Hammer + Rifle

So please, Post Your Builds! And comments!

looks like a very standard build, pretty same as the GS/M+S build just a few traits different.

I run with the exact same just have clensing ire instead of spiked armour, once every 90s doesn’t seem worth it

In PvE I use Greatsword/Hammer with the typical 30/0/0/10/30 build. In WvW I like my 0/0/30/20/20 build for Hammer/Longbow

Edit: Full Zerker gear in both modes.

WvW traits are: II, IX, and X in Defense
II and VI in Tactics and
VI and VII (or X) in Discipline

Hope the link works, did it on my phone

What build should I use as a thief to counter stun lock warriors?

Use D/P. if you’re good with your class you’ll beat them as you can wear them down and control the fight

Yeah d/p blind seems fine, but I used to play s/d shb.

My WvWvW build :

Still need to change around the gear to get more damage output since I was testing clerics out and tbh I was not too impressed

Anyhow if anyone is actually going to take a look at my build please comment on what you think I can improve. Thanks

s/p build works well aswell but obviously they require actual amounts of skill to be utilized since you cant rely on stealth if you mess up.

I usually wield Hammer / Sword + Shield instead of a bow or a mace; the main reason is to being able to disengage in WvW. Anyway:

For PvP either…

0/
10/ IV
30/ II, IX, X
10/ I
20/ III, X

…Or the same build but with the 10 pints in Tactics derived to Discipline to get XI (Burst Mastery). Some trades can be done: in Defense sometimes either VIII (Last Stand) or XII (Spiked Armor) can be a replacement for one of the initial choices.

For WvW is all about the Runes I use: with Melandru/Hoelbrack I use the same builds, with Perplexity is like:

20/ IV, VII
0/
30/ II, IX, X
0/
20/ III, X

This last one outputs less damage, but until the Perplexity nerf (which is almost here) proved to be solid. If the nerf hits very strong then the PvP builds could still work fairly well.

My main doubt is about the ten points invested in Tactics I (Leg Specialist) instead of using it in Discipline XI (Burst Mastery). Leg Specialist works wonders in my condition build, and I still like in this hammer one due I keep the main Sword and the Hammer has a cripple, but a 1 second paralyze seems a weak tradeoff for being able to spam burst more frequently.

Just a standard WvW build!

Dont use my hammer much in PvE in Pve im more GS and Axe/mace

I’ve been thinking about pulling up a Hammer build that’s more support based, with 30 in Tactics for Healing Shouts and switching my runes to Soldier, just because of the buff that the build is getting and because with the farther i get in Fractal Levels I am noticing more and more need for heals on the group, also in WvW I am working on my commanding skills and I think that such a build would benefit whatever havoc squad I can pull together.

The thing stopping me at the moment at least is that I am unsure if I really want to drop all of the damage that I would lose by doing such a thing.

Give me some opinions!
please xD
