Amulet

  • - if you're feeling really confident in your abilities while piloting the build, this makes it harder to play the build for a bit better payoff.

Absolute menace in the right hands, especially in a power meta where its lack of cleansing won't hold it back. I'm not even sure if I'd call it lack of cleansing since every attunement can create auras thus purging conditions, but it definitely can struggle if a condi burst lands. Taking Soothing Water is invaluable in some games. Low mobility I dont care much about as long as I'm winning most of my 1v1s. I have to say D/D is easier and feels better to play (at least for me) but I respect Hammer for what it does especially the AoE which is the best ele has. Hammer was made for Cata and you can tell it synergizes better.

Strong yet not very popular, likely due to its above average difficulty to pull off. Great damage and survivability, but a bit weak to conditions and lacks mobility.

4 stars
Faler gave this build 4 stars • July 2022
Lucky condi specs aren't in the meta other than harbinger because cleansing is definitely a problem here. Damage is there, sustain is a bit iffy but boon uptime helps quite a lot. Earth shield carries otherwise gets deleted easily. Cata/5, improving but still not there yet.
