Overview

A PvP Vindicator power build that's putting the recent Hammer buffs to good use. Capable of doing massive burst damage at any range while still retaining access to great mobility and plenty of defensive skills. Hammer Vindi can cover several different roles from roamer to sidenoder depending on how it's built.

Specialization Variants

For higher survivability (at the expense of damage) you could try replacing Invocation Invocation with Salvation Salvation. This makes the build better at taking 1v1s instead of being just a roamer/teamfighter, but it's also a solid option for beginners and harder games in general:


Equipment

Hammer
Sigil

Rune
Amulet
Relic


Sigils

  • Sigil of Intelligence works great on both sets, but since legend swapping can also proc the sigils of your active weapon and sigils of the same name share a common cooldown sometimes a sigil proc can go to waste if you have it on both sets. If you want to replace Intelligence on one of the sets then Cleansing, Energy, Exposure and Exploitation are all viable picks.

Although I love Vindi and this build, it's no longer 5 stars. Since the nerfs, this build took a serious damage reduction, it still does alright and even good in the right hands, still quick and has nice utility, but with it's squishy nature, it's hard to pick now, since it's primary purpose is to dish damage. Taking salvation meaning you'll sacrifice movement speed and crit. chance. you can take Lynx or Wayfinder but that means you have to sacrifice stats or Daredevil. you can tinker a bit with it to find something that suits your playstyle but overall its not that rewarding anymore.

The damage is off the charts but you do play the price with very few defensives. It's really just blocks and evasion, if you actually get hit you'll die especially against a condi bomb but hey, that's skill issue.

Super busted, definitely will see this in the MAT at one point or another. Seems to handle duels extremely well, essentially replacing staff war after it's nerfs.
5 stars
Hanz gave this build 5 stars • April 2024
Rapidly gained popularity after the recent buffs, it's currently the most played Revenant build at higher tiers. Solid damage both in melee and ranged combat, decent mobility and survivability and a fair bit of utility value for the team mostly from the kurzick legend.
