Is the Ice Breaker hammer in gold? - Guild Wars Forums

The Muffen Man · Jul 09, 2006, 09:32 AM // 09:32

I love the skin of the Ice breaker hammer but not the ice mod(what did they smoke when they put it on a hammer?)
So is it available in a non green drop i.e the skin so you can mod it as you like?
And if not it should cause thats one sweet skin.

Its green found if ya kill mighty grawls outside dronars forge.

Teutonic Paladin · Jul 09, 2006, 01:24 PM // 13:24

THe skin is not available in Gold.

Arya Nibelrund · Jul 09, 2006, 01:24 PM // 13:24

It's like having a FDS with ice damage; the skin is modeled after the damage type: ice damage=icy head

The Muffen Man · Jul 09, 2006, 02:25 PM // 14:25

Spinal shivers on a hammer warrior is utter crap
1st the hammer is to slow even under frenzy to be a good interupter
2nd its two handed so u cant wield a focus item for the extra nrg that you will need.
3rd works best with axe so u will still have a good skill spread cause you will have eviscerate deep wound and damage in one nice skill.

so now we just need a petition to get anet to have the "Ice Breaker" drop as a non green item, so that I can put other mods on it besides the cold one and wield the coolest looking hammer in the game and have it be good besides when Im fighting other warriors.
Thats the only time you get extra damage with that mod, the -20al v elemental damage is what I always use when Im fighting other warriors

icebreakers made for bunny thumpers, taking down warriors because they dont have armor against elemental attacks, and i think they really look cool

Ganik Thress · Jul 09, 2006, 03:11 PM // 15:11

The elemental damage isn't crap at all, what is "crap" would be putting a beloved sundering mod on it. The elemental damage negates warriors' lack of elemental bonus armor, therefore you can own warriors with cold damage, because their +20 bonus armor against physical won't do jack squat against cold damage, or any elemental damage for that matter.

Did you even read my post, go back and read it then edit yours to reflect the fact that you read mine beacause as it stands your post is moot.

Let me just reiterate, the cold mod has its uses but the hammer as a whole is extremely limited in its uses and I think its a pitty for such a lovely skin.

Consider it a collector's hammer.

True
*goes to the corner and procedes to chuck a hissy fit, I wants it my precious*

Skuld · Jul 09, 2006, 04:18 PM // 16:18

Uhh.. you use it to kill warriors with.. ignores physical resistance.. useless indeed

Goats17 · Jul 09, 2006, 04:32 PM // 16:32

Wow............Hammers useless for interupts?

Cold damage not good?

This guy needs to play some PvP.

I think the assumption here is that Spinal Shivers will be cast by the necro. Even though a hammer won't be the fastest weapon, between you and the necro (who will likely have a cold dmg weapon), you should be able to interupt most everything. Hammers are slower, but will also do more damage, which is assumed to be the reason for the choice.

The real advantage of this hammer is it's use against enemies that are weak vs. cold damage such as in the fire islands. Still, this hammer is very situational at best and generally has little value beyond just being something to collect.

LOL, I think you are the one needing to go do some pvp.
Your talking to a guy here who has a little under 800k total faction.
If your talking about kd then they are interupts by proxy, what they realy are are disruption.
Also go to ta, hoh and go water elem lfg see how many people will invite you.
And like I said before the only reason in pvp a warrior will want one weapon with an elemental mod on it is vs other warriors, and as we all know you will bw targeting them last.
Also all the greens in the game have an equivalent gold Id like to see one for this hammer.

Former Ruling · Jul 09, 2006, 06:35 PM // 18:35

Not all greens have golds with the same skin....There are PLENTY of unique green skins.

And every warrior should have atleast 1 elemental modded weapon of each type.

My most sincere apologies, your Majesty. I acknowledge the complete fact that I am a buffoon of a human being, and not worthy of your Divine presence.
