Try:

- Forceful Blow [Elite] (Hammer Mastery)
- Fierce Blow (Hammer Mastery)
- Yeti Smash (Hammer Mastery)
- Irresistible Blow (Hammer Mastery)
- Tiger Stance (Strength)
- Renewing Smash (Hammer Mastery)
- Auspicious Blow (Hammer Mastery)

All you need to know is to hit Renewing Smash FIRST, then QUICKLY his Tiger Stance. You'll be in 100% Tiger Stance. I think you can figure out how the rest works.

i use a hammer build in Factions (mine's a factions only character) and its been working pretty decently, dealing 150 dmg at times consistently... here it is ...

its frustrating for a factions only player to make a gr8 build ... i spent quite some time going thru the skills and finding substitute skills for builds that include prophecy skills and settled down on this combo

weapons : furios hammer of shelter (can be any hammer but ideally a war hammer with 15^50)

hammer mastery : 12 + 1
stoneskin gauntlets
skills :

1.Devastating Hammer / Forceful Blow (Elite)
2.Fierce Blow
3.heavy blow/yeti smash
4.irresistible blow
5.for great justice
6.tiger stance
7.Endure Pain
8.Resurrect signet

op skills : monk secondary : stonesoul strike
necro secondary : plague touch

if u have a necro secondary, plague touch is a great condition removal tool as it transfers the condition on the enemy u are attacking inflicting further damage .. u can use it instead of endure pain / resurrect signet

if u have a monk secondary, u can use stonesoul strike to a knocked down foe to induce twice the damage .. but this wud need u to put points in smiting prayers...
usage:
1. for great justice
2. enter tiger stance and if u want, u ud spam with irresistible blow (5 energy) for greater damage. this builds up adrenaline
3. select target foe with full adrenaline and skill chain 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4

1st skill induces weakness, next exploits weakness to give a a spike to dmge, third gives a knockdown from weakness and then hit with 4...

Isn't Crushing Blow a core skill?

No. Which is why you can't put together a decent PVP Factions hammer warrior.

nyah crushing blow is prophecies only ..
that's why i had to sub it with something else like fierceful blow ..
