Axes are fun in PvP (I don't think they're that fun in PvE), swords are nice for abusing game-breaking PvE skills (SY...), and hammers are fun in PvE and PvP.

There was a thread like this a while back, read that if you're interested.

Axes = Hammers >>>>>>>>>>>>> Swords for funness factor.

Maneo Ranae · Jun 20, 2008, 08:32 AM // 08:32

Hammers,... Hammers, Hammers, Hammers!
Hammers>Axes>Swords

Knockdowns just,... Pwn =D.
And I put Axe in the second place, NOT for the Shock Axe-build, rather for a different W/E Axe-build of my own creation.

([Flail][Enraging Charge][Ride the Lightning][Dismember][Axe Rake][Axe Twist][Conjure Lightning] [Lion's Comfort]/[Resurrection Signet]
Pretty fun to play really ^^.
... Wait, didn't Ride the Lightning used to be 5e to use? >_> DAMN YOU ANET!)

Axe=Sword=Hammer for me, I use them all. Maybe axes a little more just because you don't really need to think about your skills, most axe bars are the same.
This is for PvE ofc.

Hmm Im just a warrior lover so I love all weapons. As far as it goes I used to hate sword because it didnt have as good a skill line as axe and as the other chapters got added on they made sword better and better.

It normally depends on my mood tho hammers are to slow for me to want to use in pve myself i rather let my heros use um. I normally use axe because of the high damage low aderaline skills for pve (dismember/cleave).

Overall axe gets the most use sword then hammer. I will admit tho playing a pvp linebacker with hammer is INSANELY FUN.

I like them in order the title say Swords,Axes and Hammers isn't being a Warrior great to have 3 different weapon type to choose through unlike those other two.

Murmel · Jun 27, 2008, 12:14 AM // 00:14

Axe.. Always

The Meth · Jun 27, 2008, 12:36 AM // 00:36

Axes. No competition.

I also have to say I like warriors who can spell the word 'you' correctly. Its not required that warriors play up to the brain dead wammo stereotypes you know.

Arkantos · Jun 27, 2008, 02:40 AM // 02:40

Depends on what I want to do.

If I want great single target dps, shutdown, and +100 armor buff, I'll go sword.
If I want AoE knockdown/damage, I'll go hammer.
If I want to run into a large mob and just spam AoE skills, I'll go axe.

I use axes, hammers are good fun too, never been a fan of swords.

Lourens · Jun 28, 2008, 02:58 PM // 14:58

Axes all the way

Shadowmere · Jun 28, 2008, 03:05 PM // 15:05

Sword, Axe, or Hammer?

Quite honestly I like all of them, variety is the spice of life as they say. Although I must admit swords and axes are a bit samey for me, other than the different damage qualities they both seem to be able to do the same things just as well.

The Mad Man · Jun 29, 2008, 09:48 PM // 21:48

sigh....100th thread exactly like this. these threads have been going on for all three years non-stop since GW came out XD

well....no fighting it.

hammer is only good for pvp and only with constant knock down
sword can't do very good damage, and almost all builds just use sever gash and change one skill from the cookie cutter build
axes only have about 5 good skills with two being pve.

really, even though warriors are my favorite class, I honestly think they suck the most, get the least out of each expansion, and have the easiest, cheapest counters.

Cripslash. Warriors deal some nice pressure with swords, and D-Slash deals the highest consistent DPS in the game.

There are PvE-only Axe Mastery skills?

Not really. They offer the most possible utility you can get on a frontlining character, can spike and pressure consistently, can knocklock in both PvE and PvP, not to mention that it can be AoE aswell.

Thx for that qualifier - otherwise, you know what my next line would have been

Abso fing lutely - Otherwise, why would 99% of teams have at least one Warrior. And their being easy to counter.... Their counters are easilly removed.

HAMMER -> Sword -> Axe.

Hammer = PvE & PvP
Sword = PvP
Axe = PvE & PvP

Red Sand · Jun 30, 2008, 01:56 AM // 01:56

I like Swords and Axes. Hammers are big damage and knockdown, but I've not been very successful with them.

Swords give consistent damage and a superior non-elite spike with [[Final Thrust]. Need a bleed followed by [[Gash] to get the ever important Deep Wound. [[Crippling Slash] makes swords PvP friendly.

Axe damage is less consistent, with a bigger spike potential. Advantage of laying down a Deep Wound with one skill vice two with [[Dismember]. AoE damage with [[Cyclone Axe] and [[Triple Chop] make it a great choice for PvE.

I go for looks more than substance; Icy Dragon Sword all the way.

JDRyder · Jul 02, 2008, 06:58 PM // 18:58

MEH HAMMER BOOM SMASH GRRR

rly sword and axe do not have any thing over hammers tbh.

Axe=Spike
Sword=Pressure
Hammer=Both and more

If u know how to use hammer there's no reason why not to use hammers in both pve and pvp.

IMO

Vehemence · Jul 02, 2008, 07:04 PM // 19:04

I use Axe to kill in PvE & PvP and Sword to pose for screenshot =p.
