Weapon and Skill Details
Sword/Shield:
Sword provides more mobility and Savage Leap can be an immobilize which can initiate your CC chain, it also cleanses immobilize. Final Thrust is amazing if you have Intelligence Sigil, you can crit for over 6k damage. Flurry is also another great source of immobilize so your DPS targets can burst (I would only recommend using this when the target is really low or trying to peel off of a fight, initiate it with Savage Leap). Shield Bash stuns long enough for you to switch to hammer and CC chain, it also provides a cleanse for immobilize. Shield Stance is a good block, gives you might and reflects projectiles. NOTE: because you are traited for Endure Pain (Defy Pain) are a certain health threshold, try not to waste Shield Stance when this procs. Intelligence sigil on sword is for the Final Thrust burst, Hydromancy sigil is just in case they stun break out of Earth Shaker so you can hit your Final Thrust.
Hammer:
Hammer does decent amount of damage and the CC chain is strong. After swapping weapon sets initiate your CC chain then swap back to sword/shield for Final Thrust. Earth Shaker also cleanses your immobilize. If you are not starting in sword/shield for your CC chain you can initiate it by using Hammer Shock which will immobilize your target then you CC chain them. Intelligence sigil on hammer does decent damage when you CC chain your target, Battle sigil provides some more might stacking for more damage.
