Has arenanet been brainless for a year or is a 3 second unstoppable kill supposed to be balanced?
I know hammer damage is supposed to be higher because of its slow attack speed, but does attack speed matter when you can kill someone in 2 seconds anyway?
And please, if you abuse hammers, dont say "theyre not broken because i abuse them"

Hammers are just like any other warrior; easy to shutdown, offset by their high DPS. If you're looking for proper damage, go Axe. Hammers are more of a spike thing anyway.

There are plenty and enough counters against warriors, especially "blackout" can make a hammer warrior's life very painful, not to mention renewed hate like faintheartedness or flashbots. If you fail at hindering hammer warriors at gaining adrenaline from time to time you should question your strategy, build.

Hey, General Surena, you changed your avatar!
General Surena, I must thank you again for the advice you offered me last time, during the Eternal Grooves mission.

blurred vision, price of failure... even 25% miss is a pain for hammers

How does a hammer kill in 3 sec ? That would be just 2 hits. What's your build ?

Buff hammers...
If hammers are so overpowered, why isn't everyone using them? Oh! That's right! there are 2 other weapons worth taking, who do the same amount of damage ( on a longer period ).
Hammer = slow buildup, fast deadly spike
Axe = fast build up, good spike
Sword = mixture

Hammers are barely used as it is. I'm surprised someone is actually complaining about them to make them less accessible.

1: any knockdown. Bulls strike, hammer bash, whatever
2: crushing blow
3: Irresistable Blow
kills 70 armor and lower instantly unless they have a monk, which is probably dead because the warrior used the combo on them.

Lets nerf people who cant kite - seriously this is getting out of hand.

3-hit hammer combo will not kill a 60AL target from full hp. I've taken plenty of those on my mesmer.
Hammers are not overpowered. They have advantages (large damage spike) and disadvantages (vulnerable to edenial and blackouts, as well as miss chance).
Silly thread. I laughed IRL.

Hold hold on, its a combo, that, like MOST combos, are killing (zomg) and wait even more, a -good- monk won't die to this Knockdown->Crushing->Irresistable Combo..tbh its not hard to see a warrior rushing at you so just prot yourself ;\
To be completely honest, you sound like someone who just isn't having fun in Randoms, head to the big boy leagues and these problems don't really occur.

2 seconds with a speed boost:
axe:
any knockdown: shock, gale, shove, coward, bulls charge, bulls strike
crushing blow: dismember/ swift chop
irresistable blow: griffons sweep - leviathans sweep
same thing with sword, think outside of the box...

Only one person complaining, /unsigned. Or maybe the other can't complain 'cause they're still knockdowned.
And I play monk and necro (which should be nerfed btw).

| Yes but counters to sword, axe, and hammer are all the same, except you cannot kite away from hammers. Hammer is way way way better than the other 2 weapons, because they can kill something with no outside help without the target being able to move or cast. If hammers couldn't kill you whenever the user wanted them to, i wouldnt be complaining. |

Sorry mate but you are pulling shit right out of your arse.

Sounds like you just suck at pvp or something. Cry me a river, or ask someone for advice.
/\ Lol, I suggest asking for advice.

Yeah, sounds like the OP got owned by a thumper or backbreaker warrior and is now whining about it.

It's not big, it's certainly not clever. Grow up.
