Guild Wars: Warrior PvP Hammer Guide

[SmackJuicy]

what is the first skill on the left?

[TheKaurajuoma]

Awesome guide!

[Wi11daThri11]

I heard that sword isn't pvp-worthy because it has no pressure and I'm inclined to agree.

[Aaronskatesexy]

how much is that hammer?

[TyrisAscendant]

@Aaronskatesexy 1 Armbrace of Truth. Armbraces fluctuate with the price of ectos 23-25e would be a ROUGH estimate atm but I haven't really been paying attention to the market so I could be a bit out.

[Aaronskatesexy]

@TyrisAscendant o ok thanks :)

[GtAleska]

[xMadSkillzx]

I have seen hammer wars using overbearing smash where your protector's strike. Daze can be useful

[jumartinez]

Hi Tyris, quick question. Regarding stats, would you say it's better to have more strength or whatever mastery u are going with?

[TyrisAscendant]

@jumartinez Good question. There are arguments for both 13 hammer, 14 str and vice versa. with 14 hammer u get 2 extra damage on hammer crits whereas with 14 str u get an extra strike of adrenaline from enraging and you can't lose your al bonus from sentinels due to weakness. Enraging lasts 14 seconds either waqy so it doesn't really make any difference for if u end up running flags etc. I would say 14 str 13 hammer is marginally better.

[narutolover101]

got a question is sword dead in guild wars pvp? cause ive havent been so into hammer lately as they all seem to have the knockdown kinda idea which i guess is good for pvp but im kinda lookin for something different respond when u got the time. maybe pst me a build :D

[TyrisAscendant]

@narutolover101 Sword Is ok, most PvP bars generally consist of: Cripslash, Gash, Sun + Moon, Bulls, Conjure, Frenzy, Rush, Rez. Its strong in pressure builds cuz cripslash lets u train stuff all day long. Personally I prefer Axe for its utility though. Sword is definately the easiest war weapon to use imo.

[RiSe1993]

wait half a second XDgood luck on that

[bobothegoat]

Good news is, yeti smash makes it really easy to quarter knock. It's got a faster activation, so you actually can quarter knock by just auto attacking twice after dev hammer and then queing up yeti smash after the second one. However, yeti smash requires a condi on the target, so it's pretty much in the same boat as heavy blow. And it's still worth it to learn to do this with hammer bash, which you can still get two attacks off with prot strike anyway (different timing though).

[Hkynmibld]

Are you still planning on doing sword and axe guides?

[TyrisAscendant]

@Hkynmibld Axe Guide is up, sword will follow at some point.

[Hkynmibld]

Great video! Very informative and entertaining :)

[666music666]

Brill advise but.. I see your player "girl" and look at her and hear you talk abit wierd lol but if u own u own no matter wether your a boy or girl

[Ghostlyman2]

Isn't it better to use Heavy blow after Dev Hammer, instead of Hammer Bash? Cause that's more damage, and the target is weakened because of Dev Hammer anyway... Why don't we use Heavy blow?

[TyrisAscendant]

@Ghostlyman2 Heavy Blow is good for stuff like RA where the odds of weakness getting removed are pretty low. Higher end a guaranteed KD is better by far.

[DrHaZy]

Can you make another qknocking guide, i have practiced and practiced but i just can't do it. maybe it is because i like to click the skills instead of pushing the buttons :P

[123Paulmark]

you sound like a fuckin nerd

[TheNameTooSexyToShow]

What do you think, what hammer mod is better against a warrior, Vampiric (5 health steal) or Ebon ? And why ?

Thank you !

[TyrisAscendant]

Vamp if they are in Sentinels or u can keep them weakened (which is highly unlikely) Ebon if they are using any other insignia. I tend to go to my elemental by default and switch to vamp after a few hits if i can see I'm hitting low damage. High end pretty much everyone uses sentinals and the casters camp slashing sheilds so sometime I go elemental vs casters if I'm on axe. War is about being flexible with weapon swaps and target switching and trying to catch people out of sheild sets.

[wazzaa4u]

@TyrisAscendant thanks, some very useful info! :)

[Ferby464]

Hey good video.

I have a question roled a paragon for my first charachter got bored then rolled a warrior but made him the pvp server. I am not sure what my secodn proffessian shuld be?...i know i am going to go hammer mastery.. and do you know were u seek training if you created a pvp characther?

[FupaSlapps]

excellent vid man. lot of info broken down so even new guys (like me) can understand.

[FluggleBubble]

balanced stance ftw  ^ ^

me and my mate run a coward hammer that works well.

[ALEXIS25777]

NICE!! but do some more videos plz plz

[trollbane11]

wooot a british gw player that does vids

[omgstoptakingnames]

Bulls, Flail - Crushing, Prot Strike, Dev Hammer, Auto, Hammer Bash, Prot Strike. and there you go.

[macyoable]

@omgstoptakingnames

do you got the template code for this?

[H3RB4L1S3R]

yuck

[bobothegoat]

With prot strike, you can actually qknock with two attacks. Dev, flail-prot, auto attack, bash, crushing, and your prot strike will be back as they get up from the second kd if you have the energy and need one more hit to finish. There's a slight delay between the auto attack and bash still though, it's just a fair bit smaller.

[n00bsprayer]

only spear if you're on flail and no one is near you, you wanna be constantly pressuring, not spearing.. if you find youre spearing a lot then youve bad positioning and arent landing the bulls

[n00bsprayer]

also dont dw so early

[kokabaal]

god Tyris you're so loud and obnoxious.

Only kidding. ^^

Can I be in your axe video when you make one?

Good video. :)
