Vamp mod is good but -10 ar while attacking is NOT good in my opinion.
Get a nice 15^50 hammer and put vamp mod on it ...way better.
I also prefer +5 armor upgrade instead of +30 hp and it costs a lot less

Last note you must weapon swap with vamp weapons when not engaged in combat.

Well -10 attacking isnt that bad in pvp on a hammer. For pve itd be pritty bad as a warrior your first to take damage usualy. However -10 on a sword or axe is probably one of the best you can get because a shields makes up for the -10 and still gives +6 more.

you can either switch to different weapons in middle of a battle or cast mending and keep fighting. (hope there isn't a mesmer or other enemies that can remove enchantment)

BTW, +5 armour is better than +30 hp.

Yet so many people want +30..

if you keep dying so badly ill bet its the -10 armour causing you to get nailed.

So would the Ugly Stick be the most powerful hammer given all its stats?

If by 'powerful' you mean in terms of damage, yes.

But for actual use, I'd take a 15^50 Vamp Hammer of Fort over it.

just to be petty, you don't do 5 more damage you steal 5 life, it's a rather important difference.

the days that warriors didn't get targetted in pvp are over, and you already have 16AL less when wielding a hammer (no shield), another -10AL is simply suicide imo.

All my hammers are 15>50, i use a vamp one to spike casters and rangers, and an elemental one to spike warrior (ignoring absorption and +AL vs physical ftw)
