In this video, I discuss my GW2 “Hammer Gun” Warrior build with PVP gameplay footage.
The build utilizes the Hammer and Rifle weapons to provide the capability to lockdown a target with multiple disabling CC (crowd control) abilities and to deliver effective sustained damage.
Let me know your questions and feedback.
For detailed information on the “Hammer Gun” build, please see the Guide.

Like it very much. Good build.
Great job, Bro. I really appreciate your work. What do you think of the various mainstream-GS-Builds?
They hurt? :)
GS builds can really bring the pain, and they work even better in a group when there are friendly players who can protect the GS warrior or chain CC targets to setup 100 Blades burst.
I like your videos very much. Can’t wait to see some WvWvW.
Same here. I really enjoy your videos and would love to see some WvWvW as well. Right now my Warrior is a Rifle/GS combo, but I’m open to change it.
Like it. Nice combination of unexpected melee and cc capabilities from what looks like a ranged cannon from the first sight.
Looking forward to see links to the builds in your posts updated, it seems they are a bit broken now:(
BTW guys from http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ have changed links to their traits editor so it requires reentering data but now it is actually more accurate than the game in terms of bleed duration calculation when it comes to ranger shortbow abilities:)
Oops, sorry for misinforming you. Your links are working just fine, it was a problem at my end:(
Well, I switched calculators anyway. I’m using http://intothemists.com now.
Thanks for the video. It shows the idea behind this build.
Do you have videos also from tournament games?
I just ask, because in trounament game, it is also very important to hold points and play a little different.
Greetings

Hey Bela,
I do have footage from a tourney, but I want to get more reps with this spec before posting a video.
Treb fire can be dodged by timing a dodge 3 seconds after the voice over states that artillery fire is on the way, just for anyone who might not have known before.
1…
2…
3…
dodge!
I’ve done that before, dodge-rolling to cap undefended nodes.
When there are opponents at a node and you’re trying to flip the node, it’s a lot more complicated.
Thanks for this build. I spent the evening with this set up and it worked out great for me. Keep up the great work!
Glad to hear it, and thanks for the encouragement :)

been using this build a bit. I substitute “fear me” for frenzy on occasion. I just really dig frenzy. the quickness on command can really surprise melee opponents at a distance and quickly finish multiple downed opponents + the burst capability is something to really be feared when combined with a full adrenaline bar.
Do you plan to play Forge beta? It’s a pure PvP game with MMO-ish combat.
What exotic armor/weapons would you use in your HammerGun build for WvW and Dungeons? Would you change any traits/skills? Thank you in advance for any help.
Will check this build out. Im really a noob on my warrior so i dont know how it will turn out
I wouldn’t recommend that build to a noon really
