Heavy Blow?
Any reason to run Dev Hammer without Heavy Blow in main bar? &mdash; Rapta   (talk|contribs) 06:58, 19 August 2007 (CEST)

- Krowman    07:04, 19 August 2007 (CEST)
 * I ran a bar quite like that just yesterday in HA, did quite well - however, Enraging Charge is not needed. I used Shock instead, much more utility tbh (and with a furious hammer, building adren is no problem - getting an opportunity to unleash it is always the hard part). - Auron 07:07, 19 August 2007 (CEST)

 * I'd run Heavy in RA/TA/AB where there's less risk of weakness getting drawed/RCed/etc, and it's not as big a deal if you otherwise have to switch targets and can't KD until you charge deva hammer back up. However, in more serious pvp, you want to be able to safely change targets and minimally rely on conditions(which is why mighty blow > fierce blow). --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me /sysop 22:10, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

Fragile in RA?
I ran this build through a couple of RA battles where there were no monks. This build gets quite fragile in such a situation; I was cripped by rangers and got shot to hell, or got something like ele blindspammers, and ofcourse hexes. It ca do the damage and all, but it's gotta be quick because you won't live long against anything. Revisit RA tag? 195.241.221.246 17:36, 29 December 2007 (EST)

 * Hammer warriors are great precisely because everything that the enemy team does except for stances(other than frenzy) and shouts is completely preventable by a hammer warrior. Enemy warrior killing your teammates? Your fault for not linebacking well enough. Enemy BSurge blinding you? Your fault for not KDing him before he can reapply after it wears off(clarity rune very helpful in RA) and killing him. Getting hexed? Your fault for not KDing and killing him before he can get enough hexes to really shut you down on you. Of course, you can't singlehandedly shutdown the entire enemy team, but nothing can. Simply, shutdown the biggest threat to your functioning(varies based on both your team and the enemy team, for example, a BSurge isn't much of a threat to a war's functioning in RA if that war's got a monk, but otherwise, he'll usually be the highest priority) and hope your team can actually do something, too. --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me /sysop 17:00, 31 December 2007 (EST)

 * Like I said, you can't shutdown the entire enemy team. Go after the BSurge btw. If you can drop him quick enough you might be able to do something against the hexer. In situations like that, you really just have to hope that someone on your team doesn't suck, and like skakid says, the enemy team is essentially taking two of their chars out of the game to keep you out of the game. --<font color="Black">Edru viransu //<font color="Red">QQ about me /sysop 18:41, 31 December 2007 (EST)
 * IMO, you just need to bring the new Lion's Comfort instead of ECharge and you've got an imba RA build. It provides the same adren gain at 13 strength, and is easily repeatable (with Heavy Blow, you can use it about every ~8-10 seconds, which is around twice as fast as ECharge). Plus, you know, it heals you. Jaigoda 01:53, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Anybody who has played a good deal of RA will tell you that sometimes you're just f***ed. RA is like poker, you're dealt your hand when you press Enter Battle and you have to play the best you can. To hear someone say "well, it's your fault for not killing the bsurge ele or the hexer" made me chuckle. Good luck building the adrenalin you need to do your kd chain when you're blinded, granted that EC helps a bit with that hopefully. A good necro will also have you hexed up with faintheartedness and weakness the whole time, so even if you do get your kd chain started your timing will be a bit off and your "spike" will fall well short of the damage needed to kill anybody with a decent ammount of health. Granted you can try to spike an already hurt target, and that could work, but if there is no such target... hit the monk and hope your teammates do something? In RA that's hoping for a lot lol. Given enough time I have no doubts a good hammer warrior could get his chain off on a bsurge ele or a necro, maybe even killing them, but the problem is unless your team is good and can cover for you while you're rendered useless (again, remember this is RA we're talking about...), you will be dead long before that opportunity ever arrives. On a parting note, even subpar eles and hexers are capable of shutting down a warrior and still switching to other targets. A bsurge ele has to keep a closer eye, but a necro only has to pay attention to you every 20 seconds or so if you don't have a monk. Grats if you can get two guys on the other team to focus on you exclusively, but even then there is a good chance that the rest of your team will be unable to capitalize on it.

I hate heavy blow with a passion. They're either dead, or weakness removed by the time they stand up for heavy, and now heavy does nothing. Bash at least means you can go hit an aegis or lineback or just plain lol at 3s kd. Rawrawr 12:49, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
 * No point running Dev Hammer w/o Heavy Blow with the new buffed Magehunters. Moush 04:07, 16 March 2008 (EDT)
 * NO point running Dev Hammer with Heavy Blow now that Magehunter's is around, either. &mdash; Edru / QQ  14:17, 16 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, IMO they mostly even out. The extra 1 adren on HBash really won't make much of a difference since they effectively cost as much as your highest-costing adren skill (Dev Hammer in this case), as you'll want to unload all/most of your adren skills before losing all of your adrenaline. So the main differences between the two are that HBash is unconditional (++ in GvG since things get removed quickly) and that HBlow does a bit of +damage (+ in any place else that doesn't remove conditions quickly and efficiently). It's really a matter of where you are and what your preference is. Jaigoda 02:19, 20 March 2008 (EDT)

RA Tag
For RA, would this be more successful since it adds in a condition removal to deal with blind and what not? From left to right you will kill almost any caster. It's pretty close to some of the earlier mentioned builds, but takes on a different spin. [build prof=Warrior/Monk HammerMastery=12+1+2 Strength=11 Prot=6 ][Devastating Hammer][Flail][Crushing Blow][Fierce Blow][Heavy Blow][Mending Touch][Enraging Charge][Resurrection Signet][/build] BTW, i'm not sure those attributes add up correctly. --Rach 02:09, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
 * That looks viable for AB and RA, except for the major rune. The PvX community hates any runes that take health away.--70.69.87.23 12:48, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
 * I would use Antidote Signet instead of Mending Touch. Only 4 seconds recharge, no energy cost and no attribute, but slightly longer activation time (1 second). Lluvia 10:33, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Fierce Blow is trash. Take Antidote over Mend Touch as well. Zuranthium 19:17, 3 August 2008 (EDT)


 * How is fierce blow trash? In RA and AB there has to be a second monk to remove the weakness, and you cover it up really fast, how many attack skills do +40 damage anyways? It sounds like common PvX talk, where the user repeats what he hears from others without understanding why... Antidote signet is a good choice because it can remove blind no matter where it is in your condition stack. In AB lion's comfort would be a nice last skill, but that would mean you would have to go back to mending touch. --Rach 16:10, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
 * It's trash because it's occupying the slot that should be filled by Bull's Strike. That's the conventional higher-end-arena wisdom though, and damage wins RA, so /shrug. --71.229 05:02, 18 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Fierce Blow adds nice damage, but loses utility. Your call. --[[Image:scottie_bow.jpg|19px]]  Scottie_theNerd  (talk / contribs / complain)  05:36, 18 August 2008 (EDT)


 * Actually mighty blow would be a better choice now that i think about it, same max damage and not conditional, also to charge the chain you need 7 adrenaline anyways. --Rach 14:26, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

usually a spike like that would take away about 90-95% of their HP. the reason i took prot strike instead is because of personal preference. without Rush, you wont be able to KD with bulls much. i just love it after you use crushing blow and his hp is like 5% left and less than a second later dead, from prot strike. its just fun :)--Lusciious 04:12, 12 February 2009 (EST)

Yeti Smash
Needs to be a variant for hammer bash? does the same thing, with 1 adren more and 1s actiavtion. Under flail, u can use dev hammer hit twice then yeti, and get a certain Qknock as under flail yeti hits 0.1s after the 1st KD ends. PVX-Zuko 13:37, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Point less. No +damage like heavy blow and no benefit--TahiriVeila 13:43, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * The benefit is randomly knockdowning surrounding people! :> -- Chaos?  -- 15:41, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just tested, while it hits all aqdjacent foes it only knocks down foes suffering from a condition. So only your target gets knocked unless you're running super heavy condition pressure or something. It might be useful in a specialized team build for tombs, but otherwise it's not worth listing--TahiriVeila 18:20, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * yeti smash is awesome ifn gvg too, dunno what ur on about. Gringo 14:34, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's only useful for a training wheel qknock + daze, it's pretty rare that you catch two people out of position enough that you knock both, unless they're body blocking. That being said it's a decent variant but it's not all that great--TahiriVeila 14:11, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * what daze? and getting an extra hit in before they stand up and still qknocking them is like an extra 80 damage, and its hardly rare to catch people out of position, imagine how many times youve seen multiple people get hit by rodgorts. Gringo 16:20, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

new mainbar?
saw this in pretty much every gvg in the last weeks Illoyon 23:44, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Training wheels qknock is a variant. Standard bar should be left alone--TahiriVeila 00:13, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * do you forget that it adds an extra hammer attack per chain, its aoe, and you build the adrenaline anyways? 80% of people run it over bash these days, bash should be the one varianted. Gringo 02:19, May 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * i think someone should change the mainbar...because it does not represent the current meta. Everyone run Yeti Smash + Belly or Overbearing Smash today...it should be at least on optional part at the top of the page.Illoyon 17:34, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Uhm, well I made it all optional. However does Dev -> Flail -> Crushing -> Belly -> Yeti give a qknock? Since Belly Smash is 1 sec activation. Or do you have to qstep/time it? --<font color="Black">Frosty  17:47, May 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * no but its easier to time the second kd, because you dont have to wait as long as before.Illoyon 22:03, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Me thinks that requiring a condition to achieve the kd will always make it second best when compared to Bash (which is 100% unconditional). --BlazingBurdy 08:31, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

dshot optional

There's a reason I removed it from the article the first time - it's nice to have one in theory, but it's almost completely useless in practice. --Lemming 02:38, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

I think it was for HA, but I still agree. No one even bothers to build add in ha anymore, because it is such a joke lol. Readem 01:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

what if....
[build prof=Warrior/Any HammerMastery=12+1+1 Strength=9+1 dagger=9][Devastating Hammer][Crushing Blow][Hammer Bash][Falling Lotus Strike][Horns of the Ox][Flail][Enraging Charge][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Gives up bulls strike for another hard KD that does not make you lose all adren. It can quarterknock multiple times. Ask yourself, what KD is more conditional, Bulls or HoTO. The best thing is that Devhammer and Hbash are charged before the KD from HoTO ends. 82.72.30.217 10:23, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

I think
Yes i do, i think that maybe warriors cunning should be an optional, ive been running it with succes. It really helps when a monk activates his bonetti just to keep him on the floor and kill his team.--83.82.62.210 22:19, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I run this with run Warrior's Cunning in RA.  If used wisely, it can help push a kill your team needs to gain the upper-hand, and win the match.  Even if you can't push a kill, it still allows for an unblockable knock-lock.Ziggurat 18:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

From a pressure standpoint, killing a monk before a team wipe is a bad idea. Not only is a monk the most difficult target to kill (with his plethora of defensive stances), but is also the worst target to select (in most instances). By killing a monk, you are, in effect, replenishing his energy. Even the best teams cannot keep down all the sigs, and by the very nature of arenas, successive chain deaths are as unlikely as they are uncommon. Another factor to consider, is the monk's lack of res. A midline death not only mitigates damage but increases pressure. As a hammer warrior, keeping down res should be your second priority (after killing of course). For these reasons, and more, warrior's cunning is pretty garb (and by that I mean garbage). I suggest taking dchop (my personal favorite), belly-smash, prot strike, or perhaps even bodyblow. Readem 01:29, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Wild throw can also be effective. And you're right that wars cunning is shit in RA but it can make a fairly effective skill if you're planning to split on your hammer warrior. Combined with DC (instead of sig) you can shit all over flaggers.--TahiriVeila 01:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Even in gvg, warrior's cunning isn't the best. People tried to use rigor mortis to the same effect (and slightly better), but it still wasn't that great. Readem 01:37, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I Have learned something today, thank you Readem.-- Amor  [[Image:Accelerated_Growth.jpg|19px]] 06:11, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Cunning really needs an 8 skill bar (i.e. one that can 123456 a runner to death) to be good. You can't really afford to do that when your normal splittable build already has two characters (assassin, fire ele) that get a lot better with 8 skills. --Lemming 10:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Meta in FA
This is never, ever run in FA and isn't that great on either side. Seeing as the FA tag was probably just stuck there because this is good in proper PvP, I don't think it should stay. Kracatoan 08:33, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It is a meta-build for GvG, HA, RA. Just that in FA it isn't used, doesn't mean it isn't meta, nor should we just remove the FA-tag. <FONT COLOR="#000000">S</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000033">h</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000066">a</FONT><FONT COLOR="#00009a">d</FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000cd">o</FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000ff">w</FONT> 18:56, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Melee sucks in FA. period. make it go away.
 * tbh, its kinda the ideal build for defending against individual luxons rushing green gate + beyond - except its weaker than Enraged smash at this purpose + you get fucked over by turtles. -- [[image:Chieftain Alex Sig.jpg|19px|link=User:Chieftain Alex]] <font face="Calibri" color="Black" size="2.5">Chieftain <font face="Calibri" color=CC6633 size="2.5"> Alex  18:44, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Screw "know nothing" know it all PvP'ers
Fierce blow is better then crushing blow, if a failed K.D happens atleast u can pressure deep wound, also Enraging Charge+Dev hammer+Fierce Blow+bull Strike+Yetti Smash(or Heavy Blow)+flail+antidote signet+rez...makes some easy R.A win's and not relying on a monk to remove blind every few seconds...pluys face it R.A is full of us PvE learners now...so no need to be like "BAD BAR"..because i OWN with it, but then again, all you wiki people just sit on wiki all day bitching instead of playing the game.
 * How do you apply DW without weakness?(or are you counting failed KD as failed cause of Balanced Stance?) Btw, insulting people usually isn't the best way to get them to listen to you. The problem with your bar is that it's really conditional, IE everything depends of weakness(Fierce, Yeti/Heavy). Personally I prefer unconditional KD. Miharo 18:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Dear sir, this is a meta GvG-, and to some extent meta HA-build, that has been ran like this since when your grandmother was still nursing your mother. Why? Because breast-feeding is again and again proven to be the best way to nourish a child or win a game. It's tagged for RA and other shit simply because if you somehow, somewhy, somewhen get a balanced setup with a Monk that can cast WoH, Patient and Draw without running out of energy, it's actually an excellent way of nourishing your child. Oh, and hoping all this talk of tits and small babies hasn't clouded your judgment in a haze of sexual arousal, there's also a certain method of winning involving chaining Hammer Bash and Crushing Blow when the baby least so expects it. -- DANDY ^_^ -- 12:40, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I can see, you've got love to give. You just can't seem to give any of it to me.

Optionals
Why can a Magebane ranger take:

But a Dev hammer, whose build is fully functional without the 8th skill, cannot take a cleaninng skill?--&#32;Saxazaxx - IGN: Saxazax I (capital i) or Saxazax I I - (talk) 00:43, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Because magebane rangers, and rangers in general, are the primary candidates for offensive or defensive splitting in GvG, and are the utility toolboxes of the team. Hammer warriors are typically your flagstand fighters that are always in range of a monk, and so skills that focus on their own survivability or cleansing are redundant. NapalmFlame (talk) 11:45, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I was talking more about RA. I see gold-trimmed rangers in RA with Mending Touch all the time.--&#32;Saxazaxx - IGN: Saxazax I (capital i) or Saxazax I I - (talk) 18:17, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * In that case then sure, I don't see why not, for that mode specifically. Also, the significant majority of those trims aren't earned at this point NapalmFlame (talk) 03:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
