Guild Wars 2

I’ve been looking at metabattle and noticed that gs/hammer still remains in tier 1, even over things such as engineers and dps guards. May I ask, what is it that makes the dps warrior favorable as part of your time?

Well you get a lot of CC and a bit of mobility from hammer, with good damage. Then with Greatsword, you get a lot of mobility, great damage, and hundred blades is really good down state cleave on other players. It is just a solid combo, sorta like Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

A good point xD, what would you say favors this build over the celestial mace/sword lb?

Never played celestial mace/sword lb, but the biggest difference I think would be mobility. Using mace main-hand w/ sword off-hand + Longbow, you would have no mobility, which can be a problem for warrior.

Personally, unless you are on a high end PvP team (which almost no one is), play whatever you want and have fun!

This guy has it right on both counts. I’m a long time GS/Ham warrior so that’s always been my favorite build, but there’s no reason you can’t mix it up and play what you like.

It was also meta in WvW Roaming, but Idk what happened MetaBattle removed almost all build for roaming :/

I have used gs/hammer today and its very fun in tpvp, I think my only bad matchups are mesmers and dps guards (if in a 1v1 scenerio since standing in symbols hurt lol)

Tons of cc and burst. What’s not to like?

This is because Gs/Hammer is strong weapon combo set as compared to others when it comes to 1vs1. And recently it got buffed from anet in terms of the fact that now no condi can make it slow when they cast ES, whirlwind attack and etc.. I would say full melee become kinda OP thus, so is meta, right
