Guild Wars 2

In some ways yes, however usually the predictability can only go so far, such as the count to 3 rule, can go down to 2 1/2, or 2 depending on the accuracy of the thief, but with hammer it makes predicting easier as I usually wait two seconds to Earthshaker as they are guaranteed to be behind me or close to me in that time frame. Still, GG

Blind is still a pain in the kitten however.

Warrior From BDSM, Come fight me 1v1 sometime, teach how to actually use a hammer. when you’re little girfriends* aren’t around

Edit: for Sarcasms sake, don’t take this personally.

Waah, map is almost completely blue..

Seriously though where is everyone. There have never been so little people in WvW ever. What’s up?

Really annoying, SBI and BP with your kitten 24/7 zergs. This is turning out to be a horrible month for WvW.

the Thief* and Warrior from [Sc] who chased me into my spawn, come on guys you should know better. I should feel bad, but that was funny… No hard feelings.

[aCa] why you always kill me when I’m standing around doing nothing.

I’ll be attempting to cap camps and evade [Lost] While doing it in BP BL if anyone wants to join me.

It seems so. Our Presence boils down to whether Our WvW guilds are on and the pugs are on at night, or at all. Night struggles give me headaches.

Guild missions had priority, sowy. Be there to help out soon

Oh theft…. hammer is weakest against Mesmers. especially with staff 2 with it’s super short cooldown, all manner of slows, stealth, roots, Hammer won’t touch you very often…. Mk? In that fight, Hammers’ weakness gave you enough edge, coupled with Mesmers myriad of ridiculous escape tools. But since I wasn’t there, I cannot say what was fair and what wasn’t because without those CD you would be pure jelly.

Except I am not a staff mesmer. I use GS and Sceptre/Focus. As well my mesmer does not have full exotics yet, some of his trinkets are still Masterwork. You should tell your people that if they want to set a trap hiding just behind the wall so that their name plates stick out will not exactly do the trick. As well when you try and flank someone have the flanker go out of visual range before making the move to go around. Using stun lock between two warriors is a pathetic way to try and win a fight. Without that I would have taken them all out! Just saying!

Never said you were wearing staff, I said especially Staff. Even without staff, hammer still won’t touch you unless we force you to use CD’s successfully while wading through 100k clones because every action spawns one. :P Also, we fought 3 Mesmers from your server who hid behind all their clones while actually doing no real damage, but merely stealthing and moving around, but it didn’t matter, since we could never stay on them long enough. Talk about pathetic :P just saying.

P.S. Mesmers are the last people who should be complaining about stun lock since it affects them the least, and it is still a kitten strategy with Skullcrack + 100swag combo. Those people are terrible. Hammer itself is all around terrible.

fshuuuuu….. Ok, calm again. Don’t even care anymore. GG

Is every person from VLK a dirty little snob?

MY Kingdom for night coverage. We only ever get servers with freaking decent night coverage as opponents. EB is painted red.. bleh

Right now we just decimated one of the HoD zergs at Titan Paw. No one spammed one. We fought with fair and even numbers and sent them back to their spawn. :P point 1 for me

I changed from mace shield to sword shield, and I got to say Shield 4 into final thrust hits like a truck under 50%. can hit light armors for 6k easy.

I admit, I got a little heated in this thread, but it takes more than numbers. a blob is nothing without good players, so whatever happens, good game.

So you can’t spam 1 and run through a bunch of people without being a good player?

Go on.

Honestly? No.

Ah God kitten it. Can we get some WvW Presence please?! In our BL? there is like 4 of us.

Late post I know, but just now tried to undo the shield around the Champ priest of Lyssa. got 2 of three seal places, but couldn’t do the last one sadly. I really wish their were more people in Orr other than the occasional champ zerg fest near the beach. sucks because I Want the armor from the Temple of Lyssa.

Interesting idea, I like it. There doesn’t seem to be anything imbalanced with the skills. Well maybe except Earth 1, depending on how long the protection last, but that still means actually hitting your opponent with the 3rd strike. I know guards have this on their hammer 1 but it doesn’t last too long outside of the area it’s affecting.

HoD in front of Lake, try fighting while the ACS aren’t covering your sorry butts :P

Well, That’s the norm, “Brah”.

Sinester.3572:

so u guys trying to double team us so guess what dh ur bl is all red! keep up the good job haha and what a fail at garr muahahahhah

Well, I wish we could spam arrow carts as good as HoD, I’m sure we would be winning by many more points. 2h4rdc0re4us bro. /shrug. Plus you took our stuff while we were busy with you. maybe stop hiding behind your ac’s, you might get better at this WvWvW thing. Friendly advice ^-^

P.S. I enjoy crushing the people in your guild, good fights bros.

Bye o3o man be well

HoD is like a hydra. Kill 1 head, 2 more pop in their place, each even worse than the last. /shrug

Silas, don’t be jelly. btw nice zerg in the HoD BL.

Just imagine if conditions like bleed and poison and burning could crit…muahaha

HoD in our BL, Come at us, we’ll woop you just like we did last night!

Once again like 10 HoD come to Our BL after we beat their 3-4 peeps xD Love you guys

Staff 2 6s CD? No wonder I can’t keep you little ADD monkeys in one place for more than 3 seconds at a time… :P

Dear HoD, you will always remember this day as the day that you ALMOST took Hills from us
Sincerely, DH :P

Dear DH

I remember fondly last night as you marched 15 Golems towards our Hills and then being embarrassed because we had put out the welcome mat and you could not sneak in and sit quietly in the back row, ran away. We almost had one person per golem there!

Sincerely: HoD

I still say we were more impressive, as HoD had to bring in a micro zerg of 10+ just to take any towers from our little 5 man group in DH BL, and had at least 4 Alphas and a Omega toward our hills and we destroyed all of them save for the Omega who suicided rather than face the embarrassment of losing to such a small group.

Dear HoD, you will always remember this day as the day that you ALMOST took Hills from us
Sincerely, DH :P

SF why you take advantage of our presence in EB, or lack thereof.

3 Mesmers on DH BL… come on… it really takes 3 of you to beat us….lol

Any fights going one Currently? Lolling around the DH BL . a Human Warrior Footman in [MERC] If you see me

-Snip-

Have you seen my posts? Don’t worry I like the length of your posts because you explain things. Too many people on the forums go “This should be this” and never defend their viewpoints or explain why they feel the way they do.

No I haven’t I apologize if I said some things that were said already or if I didn’t give my reasoning. Or if I didn’t understand what you were trying to say. I just feel like every weapon has it’s strengths and weaknesses, which makes for a balanced weapon set between most classes. I posted what I did because I believe people who ask for nerfs are forgetting hammer has A LOT of CC. It’s not primarily a DPS weapon, although a properly geared warrior can hit fairly high numbers if they are zerker.

And it can be used in 1v1, but because of it’s slow nature it can be predicted, which means I usually switch to frenzy when using it, which cuts your enemies reaction window in half . In the hands of a very good player it can be a very decent 1v1, but as I said it works best in tandem with Mace + Shield and in a group with people who can support you. Plus, Sigil of Para has been here forever but now people are complaining? and our Burst reduction bonus from discipline was once a trait right next to old Burst mastery. But because it wasn’t the “Meta” no one was bothered, I know this because I was hammer way before the changes to Discipline trait lines. It doesn’t make sense that it is suddenly such a huge thing. Skull crack +100b? It could be done LONG ago.

To me, neither the sigil or hammer or mace need any negative changes. But it isn’t up to me.

Like others have said, Hammer/Mace Shield combo does well against opponents with no stun breaker or reaction time/stability/blinds etc. We work best in a team fight, locking down high priority high Damage glass cannon targets like thieves, which means in a small group fight of 3-5 my first target will always be the Ele or thief if they don’t move out of my range fast enough. Knock them around and make them waste their stun breaks, disrupt their rhythm, and frustrate their teammates with Earthshaker and Hammer 4. And Hammer 2 is even better than usual because not only does it hit hard against squishy targets, it cuts their potential damage in half. It still foes fairly badly against classes that pack a stability passive or active and an overzealous hammer warrior will waste his CC skills against an immune target and be forced to play D until most are on CD, or at least until ES or Skull cracker is.

And skullcracker hits pretty hard for a 1H burst skill, getting 3-4k on heavy armor targets who are stunned by shield 4. It’s one of the best team weapon combos we have however it has so many weaknesses it is sometimes near useless against competent players. Sorry for the wall.

Steak, Lambchops, and Pork into a pie. I have done it. It was the most glorious heart attack ever. Don’t forget to add some veggies too.

Starting off with fist swinging and teeth gnashing huh? Alright. HoD and SF give me and my hammer a good work out, whether I win or lose means little to me, as long as I can turn a few thieves into jelly. >:). Good match to all and let’s keep it straightforward.

You guy’s LOOT and MEX who chased the guardian to our spawn…. Just, lol….

The YB group outside our spawn 10v1ing people, you guys are classy, I tell ya what.

So I had some fun against a thief the other night, 2 thiefs. I am a hammer warrior of… eh average skill in this game against thieves I lose 98% of the time. my surprise when I pretty much destroyed two thiefs on two separate occassions (with my second weapon being a weapon for traveling/escaping and not for combat.) whats with that, thieves don’t lose to hammer warriors QQ…. Still It made my night that I was at least able to make them run away. My biggest success was finally beating a Mesmer 1v1. he put up a good fight, so that makes me even happier I beat someone with more than some idea of how to play their class ^-^

Yeah or population wanes during the evening and disappears completely in the middle of the night. I don’t think we have a.. whats it called? Euro prescence… or I forget but yeah, we don’t have any people from our opposite NA timezone to cover our kitten during the night.

down to 30 points, I think this is gonna be a long week.

The thief and mesmer who ambushed me good job. It was dirty, but it worked.

MY God, counter counter Golem rushes on YB garrison. amazing really. I have front row seats
