WindBlade.8749 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Disappointment So many things can go wrong and it's can make it a usless class and not even viable, hope it's will not be the case but i'm not that hopeful.

Esorono.1039 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) I think it is an elemental ball, it looks like we are going to summon elements and smash them with the hammer as a ranged attack, which is neat. Basically magical hammer baseball. Oh, and if you look at the shape of the ball, it's shaped like how A-Net usually shows all the elements being used at once. I think instead of an element change we will be using them all at once, but change stances on how it is used.

Vissarion.6509 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) So let me get this straight, if they decide for a 2-handed weapon, and a conjure one, why not go for a Greatsword that so many wanted, and go for a "boring" hammer. I guess we will see soon how cool and viable it will be, but just why?!. Edited September 10, 2021 by Vissarion.6509 3 1 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it'll become filled up it will automatically kill you and port to the nearest waypoint. 3 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause I didn't see very many, if any ele's asking for a GS as their new weapon. 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzuritaBlues.3206 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 For me, that silhoutte glipmses ranged attacks and I'm looking forward to find out what our new mechanic will be. Also, hammer is a cool weapon, I'm glad it's getting some love in this expansion. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It better be like revenant hammer (ranged) and call down elements like scrapper hammer (Thunderclap makes static field obsolete). Really don't want another melee/near melee weapon. If I wanted to melee I would play Firebrand , renegade, holo, soulbeast, or berserker. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanhawk.3806 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Since I play neither Warrior nor Revenant, I'm gunna give this one a lot of my focus. Will be interesting to see how it plays and whether I'll play it over Weaver when EoD releases. So far Harbinger sold me over, I need to try or see more about Willbender cause what I did do didn't impress me. Now just waiting on Engi and Thief. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Crinny.6190 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I personally wanted Longbow, but if Hammer ele works a bit like it does on Rev then it's fine 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming.4250 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 /grumpy sigh😞 kitten! Well the game mechanics had better be good. Maybe we will be using the hammer the same way that a mesmer uses her gratesword. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fueki.4753 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) I would have preferred Longbow, but Hammer is still better than Greatsword. Hopefully it'll be ranged with little to no ground-targeted skills. But did they even confirm in the Stream that it's Elementalist? For all I know, it could be an unfittingly coloured Thief silhouette and the cage thing is the mechanic that replaces stolen skills.

fuzzyp.6295 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Really pumped Hammer Ele is officially confirmed, can't wait to see what it brings to the table. Fingers crossed for a true bruiser class, but ANet can also really flip the script here too and give us something completely new. Finally getting hyped. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
