Default Good PvE Assassin+Hammer=Crazyness

(Name is a parody of a Youtube poop)
I remember going into a HM pug once and we had a sin using a hammer.I am also an assassin who uses multiple weapons, so I gave him a chance.And he completely RAMPAGED through the area.My point is that I am inspired to run a hammer sin and I am wondering if you guys have any good builds since they seem to work..

What I can imagine is the he probably used high critical strikes, way of the assassin and an IAS like critical agility to feed the adrenaline for some hammer attacks.

Spamming Hammer Bash and Crushing Blow with almost 100% crit chance
I used to run this pre-gwen:
[skill]Way of the Assassin[/skill][skill]Critical Eye[/skill][skill]Critical Defenses[/skill][skill]Hammer Bash[/skill][skill]Crushing Blow[/skill][skill]Assassin's Remedy[/skill]Critical Agility[skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

with gwen it's probably better to run [skill]Earth shaker[/skill]or[skill]Backbreaker[/skill]+Way of the Master.

Thought we already decided this that hammer sins suck compared to the moebius+death blossom spam?

If anything I would say Earth Shaker though if anything...

I think true Assassin is an Assassin with Daggers.

PvE is easy, and believe me, u can rampage thru any area using Daggers with twice as much success as long as u know the area and have prepared well yourslef and prepared well your heroes.

Go Go Daggers!

Well a true assassin would use any means necessary to accomplish his/her task.

Anyways, DB Spam is indeed better but, it's nice to change things up once in a while from daggers. Sin's are the most versatile profession in Guild Wars, so why not a Hammer Sin? :P

Imo, wunna play Hammer? Get a Warrior.

Wunna slice wit a Scythe get a Dervish (eww, boys in dresses, so gay )

If u dont like playing Daggers and struggle so much with the class then wth u are playing an Assassin?

These threads really annoy me, people use the same old temlate of a <IYWH>sin and keep shouting how original the are, THEY ARE NOT! Its just so failsome to read how amazingly pwnagy and imbacakey the URF SHAKUUR Assassin was compared to a propper Sin with Daggers! Its not gored engine true! It makes those OPs look so stupid in the eyes of good players or atleastr me, omg, cant even find anymoar words to write with. :sad:

Run Assassin with Daggers, Daggers own! Go Go

I think some of you fail to have common sense to realize that I am tired of DB Spam -.-
Besides, it sucks when you aren't fighting high-end enemys!
I made this thread to get new ideas and expand my directory of builds.Not to be nagged to use DB spam >_>
But earth shaker+Whirlwind attack looks kinda interesting.
I shall try it
Once you think about it, you can do almost as much dmg as the scythe, but you can also use aoe and knockdown =O

They prolly just report you cuz they can, and cuz they know that the dishonorable combatant system's automated and impartial, thus putting you in timeout. Believe me, I've been reported cuz a player downright could and was malicious that way. And who payed the piper? ME! He went on his merry little way, prolly doing the same do others.

On-Topic: Hammer Sin isn't the most viable in PvE, but it just might work for some instances in PvP. It's kewl that ya'll are trying to think outside the box. But I'd rather stick to what's prime when tackling certain tasks in a timely manner.

my guildy and I tried this out, one of us with earthshaker, the other with backbreaker. needless to say, they both worked quite well on enemy casters, with earthshaker being slightly better because of its lower adrenaline need

most commonly pooped things are Zelda, Mario, and Sonic the hedgehog among others..


go to youtube and search it, and you'll be laughing so hard its painful.
