Yeah actually I think as a hammer warr the adrenaline from shouting might be enough to upset the balance, since hammer burst is ridiculously strong in groups lol
Either way I HAVE to try this now XP

I came to the same conclusion, just feel that the utility from the shouts outweighs the added heal. Especially since both the hammer and longbow burst are great for larger encounters. Ive found the longbow burst to be really nice for containing and pushing back an enemy group/zerg.

That….. actually looks very good! lol

ty for the info, I hadn’t thought of using shouts instead of a banner to heal, do they heal a decent amount or are they primarily used for condition removal with the soldiers runes?

I use the shouts mainly for condition removal. I see the healing as a nice bonus rather than the reason to run shouts. They heal for 1192 I believe, so in the same build the banner will heal for more in the same time frame. However, the shouts remove 3 conditions, I gain adrenaline on use, SIO serves as an extra stun breaker, plus the might and fury from FGJ, plus the small heal.

Here is the build I use for WvW, I feel that it has a good mix of survivability along with damage. Plus it makes use of the hammer and longbow. Stat wise it’s a mix of cavalier, knights, and soldier with beryl and a ruby for extra crit damage.
