Yes. It’s a solo roaming build.
Dash into battle and seize the day by fiercely rolling head first into your opponenets! Gaze at the wild wonders as you widdle away at your enemies with sheer brutality and bowling ball like action!
Enough theatrics, this build is hilarious as hell and you can actually do very good damage with dodge roll.
Basics:
Reckless dodge= 80% of an auto basically
3 stances= stances grant vigor
Increased stance duration
Quick breathing= wh skills for dat vigor and convertin dem condis into boons that will always help you do damage.
Energy sigils= duh
spiked armor= for teh lolz
GS and Sw/wh for maximum trollage should danger present itself

The list goes on and on. Enjoy my friends, video coming soon.
You won’t really notice it unless you fight someone that relies heavily on boons, such as a guard, ranger, engi etc.
Fought a boon guard/ranger earlier that had 4-5boons up the entire fight, that adds up really quick.
This is my current build, and having great success. Just wondering what everyone else is running post patch and how you feel you are comparing.
It should at least be a daze
It would only make sense that 1 stat actually gave X amount or % of defense vs conditions. Such as vitality etc.
This game makes no kitten sense to me.
What Julie said, I’m GS/Hammer. I personally don’t see the point in going 25 in arms for the extra 10% dmg to bleeding foes as you have access to none, better off picking up more power/vit or crit damage.
As far as sigils go I agree with impact on hammer always, or 1h sword for FT. But on GS I perfer Chill on crit, Generosity, or Force personally.
And why you would want to give up the benefits of melandru/resistance or any other rune is beyond me just to pick up free move speed.

Deff not rabid. It’s really up to you. I used to be full knights/zerk/cavalier mix, close to 4k armor. These days with ascended weps/armor, I do a mix of zerker/celestial and still manage to get around 3500 armor while maintaining a ridiculous amount of crit %. crit dmg, and attack power, which I will be showcasing in my next video.
^^dope /15 char
4 resistance/2 melandru is what I’ve been running since they hit.
The people telling you that Gs and sw/sh is not a good combination probably shouldn’t be playing warrior to begin with.
Not only does it offer extreme mobility, but you can stack soft CC like Immob with Flurry/bolas and make people eat entire HB chains and then some. I’ve run this build before with great success as a solo roamer. don’t let anyone tell you differently. Flurry—→Final Thrust is also amazing because with the long drawn out cast time you can literally have 10% impact rune on sword, Flurry——Shield Bash——final thrust, and even reset again into a HB. GG
You lied to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This is some kittening kitten. My skills aren’t even connecting half the time today.
In fact im having a lot of issues with skills period
So, using SB by itself I have zero issue. However, when I do a combo such as Backbreaker>Fierce Bow into Staggering, it just whiffs, they aren’t moving, or dodging, its just an animation where it goes right through them and nothing happens.
Anyone else having this issue?
I still kitten with hammer. Sorry you guys aren’t having any success.
I’m also Gs/Hammer
I’m still destroying with hammer.
lol there will be blood

Video incoming by friday, I feel as if you guys won’t want to miss this.
If anyone had a build that was calculated out so i could get an example that would be most helpful.
I dont know what any of that means, MM?
I have a necro I made for pve when game came out. I literally know nothing about the current state of necros.
I would really love to be able to solo roam like I do on my warr/ranger. so mobility is an issue, what wep sets to use, runes, sigils, armor the whole nine yards.
I like being able to take multiple foes at once, a good mix of both dmg and survivability.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is exactly what I’m talking about. We aren’t really anything seeing as that Eles and cloth wearers can be just as tanky. The normal laws of other mmos don’t apply here. Everyone compares apples to oranges.
Heed my words.
With every patch, there comes a new meta, followed shortly to said meta or counters to prior meta counters etc etc and the cycle will always contnue. Warriors became a counter to the counter, and dealt with the condi meta. Now The cycle is starting again. With every new patch, theres always something wrong.
This proves Anet does not know how to balance anything without proper augmentation or acknowledgement or future potential of other classes.
Aaaaaaand this is why they are practically having to give the game away. GG Anet on your whackamole balance philosophies.

Are you seriously clicking skills?
Pretty much. Even with a 0/20/30/0/20 or something similair hammer is just taking a massive hit. And if you don’t spec into burst Mastery, or you don’t rock a 10% impact sigil, you’re going to lose 30% on Earth shaker and thats massive.
Generic. UF won’t be available in Adept post patch..
Only vid you need to see
Thanks. I’ve just been running this for past few weeks and really, only the occasional player gives me issues. Zerker stance is a crutch, I used it when playing Hammer just for my lack of disengage ability. I still don’t have issues with necros.
Flurry slides off maybe the 1% of the player base I encounter, perhaps it’s just the servers I’m up against. But the player base here is pretty dim skill wise.
But I appreciate your insight, gonna try the latter build and swap some sigils around and drop BC

I really wanted to a try a boon/condi. but condi in itself is getting boring, time for a change.
No replies and allll these views?
Alternate version both 25 in def for Armored attack, AND 25 in Disc for extra crit dmg and might on wep swap
Hey guys,
I’m sure most of you Hammer users, myself included, are a tad upset with the upcoming changes. I love hammer, I use it in every mmo I have ever played. I’ve grown a little tired of the whack a mole system anet seems to have going every big patch so I just decided to revert back to an old school build, with the help of my friend Scarlet, I came up with this gem.
Although it is not new in nature, with the current changes it does shine very well. I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Build is centered around the use of SW/SH and GS. You have a few options here, I went 30 in Arms to pick up the extra crit chance, furious reaction, and Oppurtunist.
We are relying on cancelling Flurry —-> 100b. since after the patch Mace won’t really do that well. Not to mention most people suspect hard CC warrs etc, so they bring a lot of stun breaks, and don’t expect as much soft CC as immob.
Oppurtunist basically gives you free fury with every Flurry. And when timed correctly, it will be up every weapon swap, just in time for your opponent to sit in the immob and eat the entire portion of your 100b. not to mention the sheer mobility the build has to offer, you can reset at will.
You have a few options for traits as well, you could drop the extra 5-10 in arms, and go 30 in Defense, since Armored Attack (25pts) goes from 5% to 10% after patch giving you extra power. Or burst mastery if you so choose.
Zerker armor will obviously allow for bigger crits and hits, but my personal preference is for a good balance between both dmg and survivability, and I still hit ridiculously hard, and have no issue taking multiple 1v2’s and winning in those situations.
Feel free to comment or give suggestions, tell me what ya think.
Updated:
Still don’t want to drop Bark skin as it’s getting a massive boost next patch.
Thoughts Manekk?
Please tell me the MF food was a misclick :P
I think it’s the only boon dur food.
TY manekk gonna play around with it
Reading comprehension goes a long way there mouth breather, I never claimed to be the first to make a build like this. I said MY build, I understand how difficult it is for the casual forum warrior to comprehend whats being said.
Like I said, I’ve been gone. Instead of being an kitten , you could either elaborate or share a link to said build.
I understand your need to try and look cool on some gaming forums, but I assure you, I’m not impressed.

Heh been playin warr =) sup fellas
Could always swap some stuff for new bow changes as well. Runes/traits are personal preference.
I just came back to game and with the changes on Dec 10 i put this together, I know the concept is not overly new but this is just my take on it. Uses perception for crit chance stacking, build gives 50% at all times with perma fury swiftness vigor etc.
Feeedback is welcome, please and thank you.
Was all knights armor/wmelandru Cavalier trinkets/backpiece and zerker weps close to 4k armor.
I really don’t think ES will be that big of a deal. I just wish they’d fix the mechanics, or at least make it unblockable with the shave.
Only FOTM bads are afraid of this nerf. I’ll go ahead and take my 100 extra precision, coupled with Furious reaction, and have more vigor and Fury uptime. As well as 100 free power from the 25 pt defense line given I’m mostly Cavalier built.
QQ on baddies, I personally am looking forward to less fotm Warriors. I will continue to make videos, and continue to make kids cry.
See you out there.

I’m just waiting for all the FOTM hammer kids to bail.
I’ll just sit here and continue to own.
That also makes about as much sense as your useless post to begin with.
Just returned, wondering if anyone wants another installment of my warrior videos.
This time I would be what I was using before I stopped playing, which is Hammer/GS.
Similair to my build that I use in wvw, I’ve made solo roaming videos of many wep sets, and I must say, I have most fun with GS/Hammer
I tried Hoelbrak and regretted not having that extra few % to -condi dur and I deffinitely missed the -% to stun dur
Iv’e ran Melandru since last nov as a solo roamer, I don’t like being situational or having to rely on my elite to cure condis whe the combination of food/dogged/and Melandru can do it for me, freeing up space elsewhere.
