hey everyone, im lookin for a good ol hammer build for wvw can anyone help me our id like my seconddary to be a gs but whatever it is help me out thanks everyone
My current build and a few other variations if you like those choices more. I think sword-shield/Hammer is the best set up for Hammer warriors, but Hammer and GS does fine too. This is how I would run it, if I had to run GS/Hammer.
There are many ways to do GS/Hammer but you really can’t optimize both for Maximum DPS. This build atleast offers some good toughness, and over 50% crit on hammer and 55% on GS. If you run Sigil of percepetion and get 25 Stacks, you can get an additions 12-13% crit chance for GS, but it will be almost overkill for Hammer.
I personally like Mobile strikes too much to not go 20 into discipline, but if you think you don’t need it, you can switch 5 from defense and discipline and put 10 into strength for berserker power for a larger increase in DPS.
Here is a vid of a full zerk using GS/Hammer (kudos to sanny and his awesome videos)
Its a more DPS based build that revolves around skirmishes/1v1’s. Personally I wouldnt ever go past 50% crit chance on Hammer because of Unsuspecting foe and Earthshaker, but he does get more reliable DPS than I would, although I prefer to be more tanky since I enjoy more zerg and larger group battles. Its up to you what you like.
20/0/30/20/0 or maybe some in discipline for burst traits but I’m pretty sure this is the hammer build for wvw endure pain/stability/hammer trait…soldier gear but depends on damage you want and energy sigil on swap

thanks for the info, its the built that I will go for my warrior alt. As for gears goes, the divinity rune is a bit expensive, what alternate runes would you recommend?
Sanctum of Rall
Pain Train Choo [Choo]
Mind Smack – Mesmer
I run in an organized zerg ball with about 10 other hammer warriors. We all stack toughness and vitality. I am a 10/0/30/30/0. Zergs wash over me and my job is melee cc for our dps. It works very well. Not a good build for 1v1 but great as a support cc warrior.
Use Hammer for DPS and crowd control.
Use Axe and Shield for Adrenaline regeneration and blocking.
Augment your weaknesses with Signet of Stamina for more frequent dodges and condition removal. Balanced Stance has the mandatory stun breaker and very useful Stability boon. Bull’s Charge for mobility and gap closing.
This build regenerates adrenaline so fast that you’ll be able to use your tier 3 fully charged F1 skills faster than the cooldown resets. Slap Superior Sigil of Battle on your weapons for 4 stacks of Might of weapon switching. Pop your Signet of Rage elite for 5 stacks of Might and Fury; 25 stacks of Bloodlust; 13 stacks of Might self buffed and you’re a wrecking ball.

I personally love lyssa runes, but you can use ruby orbs, or forge for defense. Rune choice is kinda up to you, as long as you get 100% crit chance with Hammer through fury+unsuspecting foe your build will accept any stats you put on it. Or you can do 2 Fire/Hoelbrak/strength to get 60% might duration and get perma might from Signet of rage and forceful greatsword will let you keep your might stacks longer from crits =D
