[skill]Enraged Smash[/skill][skill]Counter Blow[/skill][skill]"Fear Me!"[/skill][skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill][skill]Rush[/skill][skill]"To The Limit!"[/skill][skill]Tiger Stance[/skill][skill]Rebirth[/skill]

16 Hammer
7 Tactics
12 Strength

That's my favorite PvE Hammer build.

<Edit> Just in case you were wondering 2.) - 5.) are NOT meant to be used, just leave them charged to power Enraged Smash.

<EDIT 2> Wrong attributes.

That's right, that's what you want. For some reason I thought one of the skills listed had a 5 hit charge to it.

I think Enraged Smash is kinda boring. It reminds me of barrage. One one one one one!

Besides that you only have 1 KD.. meh. To each his own. Enrages Smash obviously creates some nice dps.
I guess I can post what I use.

16 Hammer
13 Strength
2 (or whatever) air magic

For Great Justice!
Devastating Hammer {E}
Counter Blow
Fierce Blow
Hammer Bash
Shock
Crushing Blow
Res Sig

The point is to KD as much as possible with stone gauntlets and.. ok, well maybe that's it. This is more of what people have started to call a "linebacker", in other words your primary role is to protect your squishies.
In PvE I don't think Rush is too important, but you can sub it in for FGJ if you feel so inclined. Really, all the rest of the skills are manditory. Fierce and Crushing do enormous amounts of damage, and if you can play a warrior, tactics is a waste.

I don't like bash due to losing the adren you just build up. Here's my pve hammer bar:

16 Hammer
9 Strength
7 Tactics

(I prolly don't have the attribs distributed right for tactics, but whatever you want to put into it will be fine)

Devistating Hammer [E]
Crushing Blow
Fierce Blow
Staggering Blow
Auspicous Blow
Irresistable Blow
"To The Limit"
Rez Sig/Some defensive stance/Tiger's Stance. depends on other peeps in group

I take staggering since most of the time after the 1-3 combo target is usually dead. I then hit the next one with staggering to power up auspicous blow and keep spamming irresistable.
