Dwarven Battle Stance - Guild Wars Forums

Hey...i was looking at the build that can be found here and i hav a question about it.

http://gw.gamependium.com/tools/builds/show/3122

it looked attractive at first becuase of tha fact that it had constant IAS wich is goos with a hammer becuase without it i hav found being a hammer warrior to be very boring and inefficient. But after i looked at the stances a little more i noticed that it mentioned the stance was canceled if you used a skill. Will using the attack skills cancel the stances? Because if it does...it seems like that alone would rend the entire build a complete failure.

Please give me some info about this

activating any skill will deactivate the stance -
however, while you are in battle stance , whomever you are striking is interrupted with every hammer swing, hit or miss, even when blind i think

edit - berzerk stance is odd in there, dunno if that description is current

That's a terrible build and you should not use it. Instead of [[Fierce Blow], [[Mighty Blow] is a better choice since it only costs one more adrenaline for the same damage unconditional.

[[Enraging Charge] is better than [[Berserker Stance] for building up adrenaline quickly.

[[Dwarven Battle Stance] would only work on foes standing still. Anyone smart would simply kite (walk away) from you.

[[Endure Pain] is a bad skill that doesn't do much for you. Actual healing like [[Lion's Comfort] would be more beneficial.

I don't know if its for PvP or PvE, but if for PvP:

It lacks a deep wound. [[Crushing Blow] should be in there. Any good hammer build has two unconditional knockdowns so they can chain it. [[Bull's Strike] is used to harass kiters along with a IMS (Increase Movement Speed) to catch them.

If for PvE:

It lacks AoE (Area of Effect). Things like [[Earth Shaker], [[Whirlwind Attack], and [[Crude Swing] should be used. Deep wound is still needed so [[Pulverizing Smash].

For better builds:

Short Answer, bad Build. Long answer Very Bad Build.

Don't use sites like that

www.pvxwiki.com

It's not 'brilliant' but it's the best site for builds and they're fine for PvE
