Strider Pj.2193 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I doubt Ele, as I think they will not give Ele a weapon that they can summon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hammer is slow but hard hitting so I’ll vote Necro as it fits the theme of that class as slow moving but powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Za Shaloc.3908 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 None. I don't like hammers much and would rather see all of the listed classes get different weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necro Dagger is anything but slow. I think Weapon depends on the ES design. No class is only slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After thinking about it I was remembering the class description of the Reaper which is described by the Devs as “slow and hard hitting.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami Amaterasu.9237 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I'd really like to see a true condi hammer class. Berserker and Warrior hammer isn't exactly focused on condi damage, more about interrupts and power damage. Guardian is mostly direct power damage and some utility. Revenant is ranged power damage. Scrapper is mostly direct power damage and a little utility. I have yet to see a condition-focused hammer class, so I think it'd fit Mesmer pretty well. I'd still rather have duel swords for Necro though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexZero.7910 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Only because it will either prove hammer is worthless in PvE or completely shatter that illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Personally, I do not like using hammer (except for my WvW herald). I would therefore prefer that hammer is not added to any profession, especially those I like and use. However, since "None" is not in the proposed poll options, my vote goes for thief: As I don't play thief, the impact would be minimum for me.

Gehenna.3625 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Personally I'd rather they step away from linking weapons to elite specializations. If I had my wish they'd rework the entire system with weapons and skills but that's probably asking too much.The thing is that I do not like Hammers in general. So whoever gets a Hammer Specialization is a loss to me for that class. So I voted Elementalist because I don't play that class much and that's the only reason why.All in all, I don't like the majority of elite specializations. Some of them may be powerful but I really just don't like how they work and so it feels like you're forced to play a class a certain way. It's also a big part of the reason why I stay away from structured group content in this game because it limits your choices too much of what you can play.It also means that most elite specializations aren't worth it to me and I only unlock them for the ascended weapon you can earn with it.

Ardid.7203 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I chose Ele, so I don't have to play with him or with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 In a game where any weapon can potentially do anything, see LAZOR-GS for example. Hammermesmer would be a ranged healing class, the elite's thing would be: hitting a clone in melee range will shatter it. Why should mesmers always get the good stuff ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perilisk.1874 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Oooh, that gives me an idea. Mesmer e-spec: Master of Ceremonies. Punishment spec.Weapon: Hammer.Armor: Parachute Pants.Utilities: Shouts. E.g., "Please Mesmer, Don't Hurt Em", "You Can't Touch This"Mechanic: Replaces Shatters with Dances, like attunements that command all clones to auto-shatter with a certain effect when they're attacked (and triggers a temporary stance-like bonus on swap).

calb.3128 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Ranger! I'm still holding out hope for the next expansion to be in Cantha, with Warden as Ranger's elite specialisation - hammer as weapon of choice, reminiscent of the wardens of Echovald Forest. If said hammer doesn't have a knockdown skill, bunny thumpers the world over will be very cross... :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knighthonor.4061 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 I can see a melee two hander hammer Elementalist as a thing. Remind me of the Shaman from WoW back in the day before they went dual wield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
