[Best Hammer Build in WvW Zerg Fights]

My favorite game mode is WvW in a zerg, and I am getting close to finishing Juggernaut Legendary. I want to use my shinny new toy for a long time so I was wondering, between Warrior Spellbreaker, and Backline Hammer Rev, which of the two is in a better place in WvW Zergs? I wish Guardian could use it well, but lets face it... its the worst weapon for them in all game modes. I dont play much Engi, but right now Mechanist with Rifle is just to fun to get away from. So that leaves me with my Warrior and Rev, If yall wanted to primarily work with Hammer, which of the two wins?

[No Mount = Garbage]

All of this "if you don't have PoF, you're at a disadvantage" talk is b.s.

First, the expansions and gem store is how anet keeps this game afloat. If your not willing to support anet, then you earned your disadvantages. The expansions are stupid cheap for gw2 compared to most mmos so it's not like you have to dish out $50+ for each expansion. Maybe $50 if you want both of them.

Secondly, you can WvW without the mount, i did it without too much issue. You just build around high mobility. Adding swiftness, 25% movement runes, teleport abilities, into your build and you can do a decent job of keeping up with the zerg.

Also, if you talk with your commander/tag, they often times will be accommodating. I had a tag get off his mount to allow me to keep up, and the zerg in turn did the same. I even got to the point of the collection where I needed a keep and tower capture, and asked a tag if we could do them and he made sure we got it done that evening.

Aka, this is a community based game. Asking for assistance is ok...

EDIT: All of that being said, I would be more than happy if the warclaw disappeared altogether. I hate mounts in pvp modes/games.

[No Mount = Garbage]

I personally hate mounts in any pvp game. It's what killed world pvp in Wow. But i know complaining about it probably won't get Anet to change anything. So knowing mounts are here to stay in WvW, i got my warclaw in 3 evenings without Perma-swiftness. It is doable but not fun.

But i would be all for mount rentals, or having a passenger on your mount. I would love for the warclaw to disappear but we all know that ain't happening.

EDIT: if they do mount rentals, i do think it needs to be for people who have purchased PoF though. F2P players don't need to be catered to.

@Astralporing.1957

Thanks! Yeah one thing i know I'm doingvwringvnow is interrupting my auto attack chain on the dragonhunter

[What's up with this???]

Well damn....

@melandru.3876

I noticed that on the two links you shared for power dragonhunter, they have different rotations.

I have been trying to get down the snowcrows rotation that has 4 weapon swaps and 48 steps, but the discretize link has only 2 weapon swaps and 16 steps.

Which is correct? I think I could easily get down the discretize rotation, but trying to remember/get down the snowcrows rotation has been a nightmare

[What's up with this???]

Ok I see, I didn't know I was messing up the rotation that bad. Thanks everyone for your advice

[What's up with this???]

@melandru.3876

Im not worried about a raid group, i have that taken care of.

And even if i messed up the rotation a little, we're comparing it to NO ROTATION AT ALL

There is still a disparity between these two classes

[What's up with this???]

So i have been trying to get my dragonhunter ready for raiding. Using snowcrows for build and rotation, and my gear being mostly exotic berserkers with a few ascended trinkets, i manage to get between 18k-20k dps on the golem.

Just for fun i brought my boosted revenant into the golem and with an open world build, and a mix if the boosted soldiers gear and berserkers gear, i was able to constantly get 18.5k dps only using the sword auto-attack with impossible odds upkept.

Something isn't right here. Why learn a somewhat difficult rotation on my dragonhunter, when my suboptimal build/gear revenant can get the same results with a single upkeep ability and auto attack?
