SoHFury
Split Team 1: Offensive

Keep Judges on the Warrior at all times. Use Balthazar's as often as you can, preferably when people are grouped up or the Warrior isn't about to spike a lonely target. It's worth it to wait until after he spikes so that he can get into a better position for Balths. Cover Scourge with Siphon. Use Scourge on targets the Warrior is building on.

Try to use your Failure combo on Warriors who are likely to stay alive long enough so that you get a lot of energy from SoF. Use SS on stupid Warriors who will kill themselves. Spam Parasitic on top of Scourges and Migraines and such.

Just wondering, how would the runner handle a Distortion CS ranger? They could interrupt your Troll, and possibly Mend Ailment, while you'd have to shoot through Distortion, and hope that you stop their Troll.

Other than that, a fairly solid build.

The Hammer claims to use Earthshaker but his combo chains all feature devastating.

I you guys use this in observer mode, worked pertty well.

Warskull · Jan 30, 2006, 09:38 AM // 09:38

Originally the Hammer was running devastating, but we changed it to earthshaker as we felt the chance for an AoE knockdown justified the single extra adrenaline cost. Vin just forgot to update the combos.

tafy69 · Jan 30, 2006, 12:04 PM // 12:04

Am I missing something here but doesnt earthshaker do 0 damage? If you were spiking I would definately suggest Devestating

Oh and not taking Irresitable Blow for a hammer warrior is just criminal

Where in the Earthshaker skill description does it say "deals no damage". It does the same damage as a normal hammer swing, same as Devastating. Irresistable is nice, but crushing is better. Having a warrior that lacks the ability to deep wound is even more criminal, and taking both crushing and Irresistable can be a little energy heavy.

Just tested it, it actually hits my mistake.

I got confused from the skill description not having the if this attack hits description like all the others

All adjacent foes are knocked down. 50% failure chance with 4 or less Hammer Mastery.

Peewee · Jan 30, 2006, 02:03 PM // 14:03

I like the hammer warrior build, its a alternate for my thumper, although the lack of irresitable blow makes me feel all strange, its like a sword warrior without sever artery....

Vindexus · Jan 30, 2006, 11:01 PM // 23:01

The TTL Hammer is supposed to be able to spike in quick succession by using To the Limit to charge his adrenaline skills for the next spike. Irrestible Blow doesn't really fit because it gains no benefit from To the Limit, and it drains your energy really quickly if you're going to be spiking often.

glenn_rolfe · Jan 30, 2006, 11:52 PM // 23:52

Played against you guys yesterday and you were running the basics of this build still.

We never had a chance to split you up because we had an afk at the start and it screwed us. So we never got to test your ability to split.
But as a 7v7 build, it's pretty strong, at least the later version of it.

We haven't changed this build for around a week. What guild are you in?
