Why are so many hammers so damned small?
Coolquest
Am I the only one who noticed how incredibly TINY over half the hammers in ALL the GW campaigns look when in the hands of a male warrior? There are very few cool hammer skins that are big enough to look good when you're holding em (Stone summit, desolation). I think A-Net seriously needs to give the hammers a size-boost.

Arenanet needs to buff hammer's attack speed, give it some AoE like Scythes or SOMETHING to make them worthwhile, first. The last thing that is important with hammers right now is how they look. They just plain suck.
And I have not seen any female hammer warriors in PvE, but that is most likely because I am not stupid enough to let a warrior with a hammer in my party.

There's a few good looking, relatively big hammers;
Ice breaker
Golden maul
Ruby maul
Mursaat hammer
Tormented maul
Ram's hammer died black
Stonehead Hammer
Other hammers may have smaller heads and not as long but still look semi decent
Clouded Maul
Dwarven Hammer
Zodiac Hammer
Colossal Pick

I have a female Warrior that has one of each weapon type: Sword, Axe and Hammer. I don't use Hammer as much as the other two, but I still use it whenever I feel like it.
Ghost Omel
Honestly i dont have any complaints about hammers
I myself use a hammer for 1.5 years now used same hammer(Gravel of Nephlim) which is a as you say a tiny hammer
Hammers are good enaugh and have ok attak speed Yes its slower then Axe or Sword but damage outup is pretty high in my standarts delivering 120+ to monks eles and other casters and damge close to 50-90 to warriors and dervs makes attak speed more or less not a problem. To those who asking anet to boos attak speed use skills such as Tiger stance boosts up yur speed
So stop begging =) for higher speed
Hammers like mursat hammer is huge so coulpe of other hammers there is n game
But lets be honest hammers are not that popular i feel like only Warrior with a hammer and probably ios 1 out of entire 100 person guild i am in =(

Lol. I have 8mil experience on my dervish, with 3k hours in 20 months of game play. I am far from being a noob.
Sure, hammers have good usefulness in PvP, however, my assumption was that this thread was referring to PvE, which could have been a wrongful assumption. I will take the heat for that, if I am wrong in that.
However, my stance still does not change. Hammers in PvE = trash.

A good idea would be if Anet could scale up hammers depending on size, just like when you give Jora a weapon it is automatically scaled up because she is bigger in size. Scale hammers up in size a little for male warriors.

Bah but then again we've been crying for such features for over 2 and a half years now, like change hair/face...

Hammers suck in PVE only if you dont use them well. The right combination of skills on your bar and skills of your own makes them amazing. I am over 17 million xp on my ranger and find that my various Thumper builds do just fine. I prefer a sword on my warrior but do run hammer as the situation calls for it....High damage spikes, knockdown, weakness, deepwound, etc. (nothing to complain about in any of that)

my war (female) uses swords, axes and hammers
and she uses this to crack some skulls http://gw.gamewikis.org/images/8/8e/Twin_Hammer.jpg

I dunno, unless you thought of an extremely creative build, a hammer warrior in PvE would be fairly boring/useless. Shutting down a monk of a mob with 3 isn't that beneficial, as a trade-off. Maybe a fun hammer build would work, like FGJ, BB, On your knees, Enraging charge, rinse and repeat.
But imo, a normal single target KD hammer warrior is fairly useless in PvE, especially for all the mobs that can't be knocked down.

And a constant knock-lock of an entire group is really sexy; if I've got a human Paragon with me (killing the need for DSlash/"SY!" spam), then Earthshaker is often my top choice.

This thread can PHAIL MOAR now? Yeh, ok.
As to the topic at hand. Yes, a size increase on SOME of the hammer skins would be nice, but not all of them.

Would I be wrong in my belief that Hammers have the highest DPS of all warrior weapons? And that if their attack speed was increased that they'd be imbalanced? And that their only downside is that they're 2-handed, thus precluding the use of a shield?
I could be wrong
I agree at the embarrassment of teeny hammers though - my War is almost exclusively Axe, and the Factions endgame axe he got is terrible. There's nothing worse than a big warrior with a tiny chopper :/

Really, as far as owning stuff and being usefull in PvE goes, hammers are so good that i use Goren when vanquishing. (shame his WY! had to go...)

Hammer are more then just KD, just like warriors are much more then just TANK.

1-Female warriors use hammers. I swear.
2-Anet have buffed some hammer attacks. Don´t cry. Hammers with a big IAS= imbalancing.

I'd like to restate again that THIS THREAD IS THE DISCUSSION OF THE SIZE OF HAMMERS, PURELY AESTHETIC! I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ABILITIES OF HAMMERS. I don't think enough people understand me, and whoever posted about scaling by size of the player, that is a great idea

My Victo's Maul does nicely, it's big and spiky... but yes, we need some bigger, more impressive hammers, not just big hunky chunks of wood on a stick.

Here is a bunch of different hammers. Some of them are small, others are pretty nice sized. Take our pick.

I'd like to comment that in real medieval times, hammers weren't actually that big. Generally the hitting part (I forget the name) would be the size of an adult's fist at most.
Your huge Guild Wars hammers are about as realistic as those retarded Final Fantasy swords.
