Great hammers/hammers

[FriendOfTheBear]

which is your favorite, and why?

Nox flowing hammer. I had a blast in the last few days in 3v3 arena with it. The ash of war is decent and stun locks your opponent long enough in a position for your teammates to also get into the action. Its also good at handling players attacking you with running poke attacks since you have decent hyperarmor on it and range. Imo the best hammer.

Greathammers are better IMO, but the running attack on regular hammers is surprisingly good. I keep a Warpick on my low level invader for going gentle on players who are really struggling, and it's quite fun to play with.

It's a shame that they got such a downgrade from the DS3 version otherwise, tho. The hyperarmor and the much better forwards momentum on the first light attack, coupled with the guarunteed R1 -> R1 combo and high stamina damage, made them excellent weapons for dealing with sword and board players/neutralizing GS and CGS poise advantages on a shoestring weight budget. Now, they're largely just inferior to Greatswords in most aspects.
