A while back I noticed the "the Hammer and the Anvil" build on the GWGuru builds directory. Seemed interesting, so I made an R/W. I later gained several great hammers, and although I haven't gotten to the level to use them, I'm wondering if this is even an effective build anymore, or if it ever was.

It's an ok build (much weaker than a normal Hammer Warrior) however then again you can spam Irresistable Blow, and can pretty much have Tiger's Fury up all the time so you can knockdown more often...

Also as a ranger primary you can efficiently use Apply Poison to boost your damage per second a decent bit.

So, should I bother keeping the character? He's around level 8.

to begin with I'd use sword for your weapon, it benefits the most from expertise of any of the melee weapons.

And yeah, you should keep the character if you're having fun playing him

I recently played a late night game in random arena. Since most of America wa asleep, i kept playin a whole mess of Koreans. And what do ya know? fought all sorts of weird builds, one was the R/W hammer build.

Imho, WOW he was good. Was constantly knocking me down, used stances often, hit fast, and yes, applied poison. It was a real nuisance to other warriors especially, cause he was able to keep a stance almost the whole time along with fast hitting from a hammer = ARRRrrgh OUCH!!!

im thinking of making my own sometime.

R/W are not very functional as compared to a W/? in damage. This doesn't mean you can't have fun, though.
