Default Hammer Build

Ok, I have Factions completed.. Eyes of the north just beginning... and prophecies purchased but untouched on my Warrior/Assassin and i want to completely redo my skills build..

I know i want Earth Shaker, Pulverizing Smash, and mabey Crushing Blow... But other than those i'm not sure where to start..



My attributes are:

13 strength
15 hammer
1 tactics
4 shadow arts


I know warrior assassin is a weird combo but with the assassins self healing and shadow steps it really helps with me not havening to use any sort of speed skill and help with healing in tough situations.

[buildrof=w/a strength=12+1 hammer=12+1+1 shadow arts=3][Earth Shaker][Pulverizing Smash][Bulls Strike][Deaths Charge][Lions Comfort][Flail][Rush][Res Sig][/build]

Although, I would switch earth shaker for [Backbreaker] and Pulverizing for [Crushing Blow]

If you're going to take a self heal take Lion's Comfort. Don't bother with /A (or most other secondary heals anyway) heals because they inferior to LC and require attribute investments. Wait... Seeing as you don't have NF, that doesn't leave you with much. Theres Heal Sig but that requires Tactics, so it's not an attractive option. Meh, be brave.

About the build, I'd keep Earth Shaker. He didn't say he had NF, so bye-bye LC, Flail, and Whirlwind Attack (to help charge Earth Shaker).

Yeti does not give you adrenaline for each foe you hit, only one. Crude swing is great skill, would be a good addition to an Earthshaker bar. Hmmmm, how about something like this:

[earth [email protected]][pulverizing [email protected]][crude [email protected]][mighty [email protected]][tiger [email protected]][deaths [email protected]][shadow [email protected]][res sig]

I personally don't like pulverising and much perfer Crushing Blow but I guess pulverising allows for more Crude Spam.

you lack flail, which im not going to lie, cripples any warrior in pve..

as for the builds suggested, i really insist you dont use shadow refuge, and if you decide to use any form of secondary, that a shadowstep is next to useless when you should be frontlining in pve anyhow.

maybe something like..

earth
pulv
whirl
grasping earth
tiger stance
for great justice
and possibly a support pve-only skill, like dwarven stability (for a longer tiger)
res

swap your secondary for things like:
mending touch
plague touch
remedy sig
ect

For PVE I'd personally take an earth shaker build with flail+FGJ or dwarven battle stance!!!!

Another vote for [skill]for great justice[/skill] more adren = more ppl on their backsides

Also, use an IAS: as Flail is not available to you I'd settle for Flurry (or if you have the balls, Frenzy)

I would use devastating hammer with crushing blow not backbreaker or earthshacker.
