I have heard great things about Bunny Thumpers. Was wondering if anyone could give me a specific build.
Thanks

Here are 3 versions of the Thumper, I would say the standard is the top one, but really its all personal perference.
Beast 10+1+1=12(Sup not really needed here)
Expertise 8+1=9
Hammer=12
Ferocious Strike
Irresistible Blow
Hammer bash
Crushing Blow
Tigers fury
Res sig
Charm
Comfort
Beast=10+3+1=14
Expertise=8+1
Hammer 12
Ferocious Strike
Irresistible Blow
Hammer Bash
Distrupting Lunge
Tigers Fury
Res Sig
Charm
Comfort
10+3+1=14 Beastmastery
8+1=9 expertise
12 Hammer
Enraged Lunge
Irresistible Blow
Hammer bash
Tigers Fury
Res Sig
Charm Animal
Call of Haste
Comfort
And ofcourse Sentry's Vest and pants with druids glooves and boots is probably your best choice of armor. If you have a Pve Ranger check out this thread for creating a dire for that extra 15% more damage, http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=89491
With my thumper i usually run a vamp and switch to zealous as i run the third build, which is most pet centred, and i think the best exept when targeting someone with PS. Otherwise, probably go with first one as its the best pressure i find, with finishing off small spike from DW.
Anyway good luck.

the whole point of using a hammer ranger is for the expertise, high expertise resulting in hammer skills costing 1 energy to use

Fairly nasty hammer build. With high expertise you can spam Irresistible and Crushing all day without breaking a sweat.

This isn't a bunny thumper build. Its a Ranger/Warrior hammer spammer... (which is still good btw, just not a thumper build)
thumper builds use the pet to do a high amount of damage while you spam hammer attacks with very high expertise....
IMO, this is the best one listed:

you dont need a pet for a bunny thumper 
people use the pet for energy from Ferocious Strike its not a "must have" especially when your skills are only costing u 1 energy, We always ran bunny thumpers in Tag yes we used the pet but we used it for energy nothing else, And we got to the gwwc playoffs, now most people only use a pet if they have a smiter to smite of it or as i said low expertise to get energy.
but if your so desperate to have a pet
12 Hammers
8+1 Beast Mastery
10+4 Expertise
Skills:
Tiger's Fury
Ferocious Strike ( better then enraged for thumper but enraged owns for a beast master)
Hammer bash
Crushing Blow
Irr. Blow
Melandru's Assault (massive damage on characters running enchants, pretty decent everything else). can be switched for self heal
Charm Animal
Res Signet

I always play a Bow ranger, i just never use a bow because i think Touches are way better. And it's not a "must have" to have a bow with a bow ranger, even when it sound like it.
Get it?
Bunny Thumpers use PETS, it's not called a Bunny Thumper unless you have a pet!
And if you only have 1 hammer skill, then it's not called a Bunny Thumper but a Beast Master w/ Hammer.

dude i said it was modified and still a work in progress AND didnt even have a name yet
/sighs
Modified means its an alteration of an original concept..therefore will not contain the same elements. I wont bother you with statitics now...just will say my pet and I are ALWAYS the last to die in co-op missions with this testing build

Lol, Ruby I hate to be mean, but I really thought your post was a joke. You aren't even using a hammer man. :-P
My personal preferance is to use no pet at all, as its not the pet giving you energy... its your Expertise that's keeping your energy up. I used to run with Backbreaker, but now I use Shove, which is pretty much perfect for a Thumper; a unconditional knockdown skill that uses Energy rather than Adrenaline.
I run something like...
-Distracting Blow
-Irresistable Blow
-Shove {E}
-Crushing Blow
-Tiger's Fury
-Healing Signet
-Run As One
-Rez Sig
You don't need a pet for e-management because you simply aren't spending all of your energy on anything.

...-_- Ten times better?
Extra free damage shoved at your face. Albeit not much.
I use a pet only because I already have Tiger's Fury, and I have free skillslots.
That's only when I run a bunny thumper. I rarely do.
