Summary
Revised version of the old Hambow Warrior.
This build is good if you want good balance between damage, health, defense, condition removal, mobility and crowd control.
Even with the nerf for Hambow warriors and crit damage. We just need to adapt and create another build that will make us even stronger than before.

Weapon and Skill Details
Hammer is a very stronk weapon due to it's crowd control. CC can also be a combination of damage and defense because u wont receive damage to ur CCed foes obviously.
Range weapon is a must so we still deal damage even our foes are retreating or simply if we can't reach them. Longbow is far better than rifle because it provide good utility and combo very well with Hammer.
Healing Signet
-even nerfed, it's passive is still strong and it's far better than other available heals
Berserker Stance
-condition immunity and adrenaline, it's a must.
Signet of Stamina
-this is a hard choice with dolyak signet, but we are using Knights Gear means that we have enough toughness to survive. It's passive give us more endurance so we will have more dodge. Also with the nerf of lyssa runes we wont have that cure all conditions on elite but we can still do that with stamina signet's active.
Balanced Stance
-Stability + Stun break, nothing to explain here.
Signet of Rage
-MIGHT,Fury and Swiftness, low cd. Why not?

Trait Details
2/0/6/0/6 you can still put 2 points to tactics if you prefer leg specialist. The 2 trait point are for personal reference anyways. In this case i put mine to Strength line
Strength
-Great Fortitude ~ Our build focus on might, might=more power so more power= more health more health= more survivability vs condition. Because condition builds are popular right now.
Defense
-Pretty self explanatory, condi-hate + Hammer trait
Discipline
-Warrior Sprint ~ Traveler runes is a thing on pvp right now and u won't have perma swiftness, can be switched Signet Mastery if u'll take Destruction of Empowered
-Signet Mastery ~ We won't need Vigor on Stance Trait anymore so this is the best choice.
-Burst Mastery ~ It's a must. our burst skills are our key to our damage.
PS: You can take Leg Specialist, you can take Destruction of Empowered. It's up to you.

Upgrade Item Details
Rune of the Strength receive a very powerful buff this patch.
45% Might duration 7% more damage under the effects of might is a huge power boost.
Sigil of Battle for moar might
Sigil of Intelligence for guaranteed Earthshaker Crit along with our 180% Crit Damage(2 guaranteed crit more)
Sigil of Energy for moar dodge along with Signet of Stamina for insane survivability
Sigil of Leeching for life steal. It's a free slot so you can replace it if you want.
Why 4 Swap Sigils?
-With Discipline 3 ~ Fast hand you can Weapon swap every 5 seconds which means you can trigger all of them 4 every 10 seconds. pretty OP isn't it?
Do they All Stack?
-YES now they DO.
For Amulet
I choose Knight because I want to crit other than the sigil of intelligence provide. With Fury you'll have 55% crit chance. Around with 20+ might stack and 180% critical damage... damn too STRONK.
But if you want to be more tanky. Soldier is not a bad choice. Having main Power stat makes up for the lost precision.
You can swap for Knights to Soldier every time u want to test whats best for you.
V. Basic Gameplay
Smash the buttons and WIN.
VS D/P Trickery Thief
-Difficult because of blinds. Just outplay him, his backstab won't hurt you unless 2v1 or higher. You just need to do the Combustive Shot combo, it will cleanse the blind due to cleansing ire, and stun him due to earthshaker, then proceed to the rotation.
VS PU Mesmer
- Really annoying and long fight. U can't kill him and he can't kill you. So the first one got a team mate to help win. Otherwise if the other player misplays he's lose. Don't Bother with clones Ctrl+T him if he stealth predict where he are then earthshaker.
VS Stone Heart Elementalist
- U can't Crit sometimes but they are still squishy.
VS Condi Engi
- Move around so they'll miss some of their grenades. With 19k Hp u can kill him before he melts you.
VS Power Rangers
- Chase them
VS Minion Master Necromancer
- Just focus on him, he has a large hp pool along with death shroud. While minions raping you. But he doesn't have a lot of dodge and escape abilities. Just melt him down.
VS Interrupt Mesmer
- They love to Interrupt heals but we never use our heal 
VS Conditionmancer
- Pop Signet of Stamina if you're in trouble.
VS P/D Condition Thief
- Can be very annoying. But they are still squishy without blind. Cleanse the bleed and poison with your burst skills(cleansing ire trait)
VS Hambow Warrior
- Predict/Respond quickly to the animation, dodge the earthshaker, Goodluck may the best player wins 
Main Skill Rotation
If you manage to connect all these they are pretty much dead. But 70% not because they are moving around and reacting/dodging. And you sometimes dodge too so there's no real rotation on pvp.
#suchmight
Fire field~blast~sigil of battle proc~versatile power proc~blast
This combo can be used every 10 seconds
#suchmight
#ohcrap!
When you were on #ohcrap! moment u'll need this rotation. By the time u survive dodging like crazy, Healing Signet should heal you high enough or you're teammates already arrives so that you can reset the fight.
Although i did replace the Knights amulet for a soldier's amulet for more hp. This build lists the hp at 19802. With soldier's you're looking at 26,282. That was the only thing I would change.
cheers!
