Riba.3271 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I think lot of weapons functionality has been improved vastly: Greatsword, Focus, Shield, Mace and staff all already received minor reworks. I believe Hammer is the only outdated one right now. Hammer 2 needs a longer dash. It just feels too clunky to use right now. I don't mind long cast times on the weapon but when you use hammer 2 and slow yourself down in PvP gamemodes.. It just feels bad. 7 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhael.2391 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Greatsword needs the evade on 3 and 5 also needs to be faster. hammer 2 could keep the distance but have evade and hammer5 needs to be cast while running if u want. thats all 3 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.5684 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Guardian weapons are great? You mean scepter AA that is slower than a turtle and cannot hit anything that moves an inch? LB which is mediocre in both pve and spvp? Torch 4 targeting that is equivalent of blind man shooting? Off hand sword 4 that barely hits anything that moves? Sure, hammer is the biggest offender, but far from the only guardian weapon with significant performance and consistency issues. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna.6203 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I rerolled from warrior to guardian at EoD launch. And i have to say you should be grateful that guardian is only bad with one weapon. 🙃 9 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpsssss.7530 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Can we just get a new skill on sword 3? In PvP/WvW you might hit 1 or 2 of the projectiles on a skill that roots you for the animation… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it can even block projectiles during cast? This will be really good!!" (real world scenario) ...needing to use our only Shadowstep utility to land all the hits --- or every other skill is on CD so Sword#3 is just for flashy memes... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forgot Anet accidently changed them so that they cannot be casted backwards anymore and never fixed them back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonork.2916 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Hammer should hit like a truck. Should be guard's highest damage per single attack weapon for how slow it is. If it's gonna stay at it's current level of damage all it's attack animations should be 30-40% faster. Add a dash to banish. Make mighty blow unblockable, thanks. Then guard has 1 single unblockable attack that doesn't require DH to use. Right now GS is just a better hammer.

Clockless.2503 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I've been thinking about hammer a lot, because it seems a shame I can't find a reason to ever use it. I'd like to see Zealot's Embrace turn into a whirling pull. I've always liked the pull on Axe3 and I think it would open up some interesting gameplay. I'd also move the symbol to Mighty Blow. Symbols are too important to your build to put at the end of an auto attack chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShazaM.2583 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I would love for guardian to be able to use hammer at least somewhat regularly again. Maybe we'll get a hammer rework(ish) in the big June 28 patch. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingMenthol.7281 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I'm pulling out this old chestnut again. ANet have different ways to make hammer stand out and not just be a worse greatsword. It needs to provide something that the other melee weapons don't provide, otherwise there's little reason to use hammer over something else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
