Hammer is so good in WvW :P It doesn’t have place in PvE so it’s nice to make it work in WvW. Ofc it was good for zerging before but with recent changes it’s also good for roaming… love it!
Also your attitude was so Warriorish! Outmanned heavily and you went in and fought instead of runing away(like dirty thieves)! Also nobody was left behind
Feel free to argue with me. You learn something every time and it develops your personality.
People seems using word “trolling” out of context way too often…
Ty. Thought so. Looks like he might be running something similar to my build. Only he uses healing sig and sos and I use surge and zerk stance. And it is just as durable. His play style is almost exactly like mine. It felt weird watching LoL.
Great vid and this looks like a really solid build. Like most everyone else here, I’m very interested in your build as well. I’ve been looking for a reason to bring my warrior into WvW and I think this finally pushed me over the edge (debating between hammer + gs and hammer + axe/shield).
Regarding the durability:
He has a guardian popping prot on him
He pops the 3 stances then runs away leaving his team to fend off for them selves. Simply dodge out of the hammer burst, go for he backline of his group and take down a squishy. Then go back to the war and finish him.
Gotta love GS wars in group fights because they run off and leave the rest of the their team to pick off and when they come back..all their timers are off and we pick them off. Bad GS wars, that is. When you use gs3+5 to run..it takes time to walk back to the fight.
Running away and leaving your team isn’t that productive. You are supposed to stay and pump aoe stuns every 7 secs.
Sadly GS in group fights is mostly for running away.
I’d rarher stay in and help my group with LB or s/w as a second set -given the aoe benefit of lb and the aoe benefit of warhorn+ best single immob in game.
What’s the point of filming zerg fights when it constitutes running away from bad pvers and being proud of it?.
eh?…the game play is one that is of strategy. You can stay and fight till you drop, or you can play with a bit more head. I believe his mates will also do the same and run to get a quick recovery before reentering the fray. Its how you utilise your skills to the advantage. You tell me you will continue to stand there pressing skill 1 while waiting for others to cooldown? You will be dropped in 3 secs and you might as well not be there assisting at all.
i agree with Ichan, thats called using your brain fellas, its at least 10 enemies, we guess they are all 80 and know what they are doing(more or less) i mean the game has been out for a while now.
Agreed Lchan, it’s tactics. You know now those people who the commanders shout to do not chase? Well they are not all listening and chasing that poor little group or solo players and get demolished when they realize the zerg isnt right behind them.

Thief is heartseeking non stop. Mesmer does slow keyboard turns and backtracks and the same thing goes for the necros. All the rangers didn’t know what they were doing it seemed. Obviously they are PVErs playing WvW for the achievements. There’s no way 4 players would survive completely outnumbered against skilled players. It wouldn’t happen.
This is the usual hammer build and he’s durable because of the regen and protection from the guardian.
Fun video, though! Always nice demolishing a larger group even if they are just PVErs.

I only watched a few secs of the video, but I run a GS/Hammer build in wvw and I think you are vastly discounting the value of “running away”.
In many large fight stand-off situations being able to push in (even though you’re rushing into clusters of ten other players) and disrupt their back line is immensely valuable. Now those people are having to dodge, blow stunbreakers, and try to deal with you. This is valuable time that your back line (and other melee) has to happily bash on them without retribution and push forward.
Being able to engage that many (and the goal is to attack the center of the most concentrated group to disrupt as many as possible) and survive to do it again is one of the prime tools to sway the tide in those types of engagements.
Perhaps it isn’t your desired play style, and that’s fine. It is an extremely potent tool in certain scenarios, and very strong in most others. Sit in the back and shoot your longbow in the big fights, some of us love jumping dead into the center of the enemy and watching them scatter.
3 ppl who can communicate vs 7ish people who can’t…look who wins. The only thing I really saw was the target symbols and the fact they were chatting. Good example that all the warrior talk currently is not just about build that is making it “O.P”..it mostly the players behind them are just skilled and not spam happy.

Dude, this game favors numbers through game mechanics so much that when three people beat seven it is noteworthy no matter what the circumstances are.
I’m not saying that the video wasn’t very entertaining because it was but imagine if you were instead 2 Eles and a ranger, would you have been able to do that, or even come close?
An overpowered profession in the hands of a competent player is a game breaking thing.

Short answer: Yes. 2 skilled ele players and a skilled ranger can do exactly the same thing as these three.
You obviously haven’t seen bunker ele and regen rangers…
