It's not that they are considered "the best" for PvP...it's just that they offer something that no other weapon does. Knockdown.

Knockdown is cool for several reasons. It serves as an interupt against casters, healers, anyone trying to Rez. It also slows down the monks trying to run away from the big scary Warriors coming after them. Slows down pretty much anyone who isn't using Balanced Stance.

Swords are faster without a doubt. They probably kill faster with a higher DPS but they can't knock anything down =]

Hope that helps.

The point isnt really the dmg, with hammers u can knockdown tragets so they are disabled for a short time and could be also interruptet in there doing. Also Warriors arent the best dmg dealer because they have to take care about conditions like blind, weakness etc. also stuff like evade and block is hard for warrior as long they arent well supportet.

Edit: btw the topic is often in talk so use first the searching option and if u got more questions open a thread, also dont post that often, if u want to say anythink else use the edit option.

No hammer is not best for PvP, No Sword is Not better for PvP, If you want a warrior to be good at PvP, learn the way of axe

Hammer is best if you have ele as you secondary, so you can use aftershock.

If you're trying to design a hammer warrior, you're probably looking for a way to "knocklock" a target- that is, to keep him on his back permanently. It usually requires charging up all of your adrenal attacks before you unleash the first one, then chaining them together one after another to get maximum knockdown length.
