I’m a War Hammer user and I’m a fan of Mighty Gavel. The patch 1.1 seems to side with buffing the Juggernaut tree for War Hammer. I see that they buff the passives and the cool downs of some skills but I think it’s not that much of a buff since people using hammer now is still on the Crowd Crusher side. Personally, I’d like to use War Hammer for DPS and I think the best buff they can do is that put Mighty Gavel a grit or shorten the interval between the 1st and 2nd hit animation that comes from the last passive of the Juggernaut tree.
Yea… last thing I think the Warhammer needs is another buff. If anything they should nerf the Crowd crusher branch since it’s TOO good. It would then incentivize people to use the Juggernaut branch since crowd crusher wouldn’t be the obvious choice.
I agree, people are still leaning towards Crowd Crusher because it’s too good specially in wars. I don’t mind that at all because that really is the purpose of the CC tree. But Juggernaut tree is also good but when I’m using the Mighty Gavel skill I’m being staggered most of the time and 2 hit is being cancelled and if I don’t get staggered people can easily dodge the 2nd hit since it has a pause that makes a huge window for dodging.
Welcome to every non-strength weapon. We’re always being staggered out of our abilities because none of them have grit. The spear is a particularly bad and can almost never gets its combos down in PvP because of constant stagger.
I’m also willing to bet you’re mostly being stagger by other Warhammers running crowd crusher.
