Overview
A Power-based WvW Scrapper roaming build that focuses on CC and massive burst damage with 
手雷包 to get kills while having a high uptime of 
奔驰疾速 to kite and chase enemies. Survivability is on the lower end, but sometimes the best defense is a good offense.
Skill Bar
Skill Variants
Utility
漏油跑鞋 can be replaced by:
-
绞肉机械 - better burst damage and AoE pressure, but you have to give up an unblockable CC and a stunbreak on toolbelt for it which makes the build significantly more unforgiving to play. -
U型试剂 - trades CC for 
急速 and 
稳固. Both skills offer a stunbreak, although Elixir U is on a slightly longer CD than SS's toolbelt.
Elite
-
潜行机械 - while the 
潜行 duration on this is extremely low, currently we're recommending it because it's still a valuable escape tool. Without stealth you'll have a much harder time surviving outnumbered situations. -
空投补给 - ranged CC, combo field for stealth, bit of extra damage. -
精英炮座 - does decent damage but it's primarily a defensive pick because of the 
目盲 and the extra healing, plus it has some useful combo fields for aura combos and even more healing with 
火箭冲锋.

Relics
- The WvW-only nerf to
动能加速 removed the main source of 
激怒 from the build, forcing us to take 
午夜国王古物. Replacing it with any other relic is not recommended.
Runes
-
超级学者符文 - better burst damage, lower boon duration. -
超级抗性符文 - defensive rune that helps against both condition and power builds. -
超级预告者符文 - better boon duration + sustain.
Sigils
Consumables
Food
-
黑胡椒粉真空烹调肉排 - passive strike damage mitigation and strong offensive stats. -
盘装丁香调味红酒焖鸡 - same stats as the Peppercorn-Crusted version but offers defense against conditions instead of Power-based damage. -
巨龙甜甜圈片 - cheap crit chance increase plus armor-ignoring damage procs that heal you. -
碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲 - defensive option with 
爆破进击 synergy due to more frequent dodging.
碗装鲜肉冬菜煲 - budget version.
Utility
Usage
General
-
While Hammer is a very strong offensive option, it can be just as defensive. The build is rather squishy so CD management is very important. Try to pressure targets mostly with
手雷包 if you want to play it safe and keep Hammer ready for situations where you'd be forced into melee or have to defend yourself. -
If you want to get the most out of
手雷包 set up a keybind for About Face.- Go to Options ⇒ Control Options ⇒ Movement, About Face should be at the bottom.
-
Grenades can be thrown at targets behind your character. You can kind of abuse this with About Face by quickly turning around to move away from your target while targeting them with grenade attacks:
- Keep moving forward then hold left click briefly while pressing about face - you should now be moving in the opposite direction as long as you're holding down the movement key.
- Hold the same movement key (W for most players) and right click once to turn back to where you were originally facing once you've built enough distance.
- Repeat these steps to stay at the edge of 900 range while throwing grenades.
-
功能机型 (F5) has massive utility value as a skill that can stomp enemies and revive allies from range.
Damage
-
Most of the damage comes from
手雷包 and its toolbelt skill 
手雷弹幕, the latter being the best burst skill in the build.
破片手雷 and 
冰冻手雷 do the most damage, followed by the autoattack 
普通手雷 which is a solid filler skill.- 冰冻手雷's Chill Chill is ideal for snaring enemies while pressuring them from range.
毒气手雷 doesn't hit very hard but the 
中毒's good for pressuring bunkers and delaying rez attempts as it reduces healing received by enemies.
闪光手雷 is something of a defensive skill, low damage but the 目盲 could enable you to keep throwing grenades at your target without getting counterpressured.
-
Using Leap, Whirl and Blast finisher in combo fields is important for
威能 stacking via 动能加速. Always try to use 火箭冲锋 inside a combo field as you can't afford to let a double Leap finisher go to waste. -
You maintain
激怒 by landing CC skills. Aim for 100% uptime.
大型进击 can help you maintain this boon against high sustain specs that often heal back to full.
-
Try to make sure that your burst lands by using CC and
潜行 beforehand: -
爆破机械 takes a few seconds to charge up, use 奔驰疾速 and 火箭冲锋 to stay on top of your target.
Sustain
-
奔驰疾速 is your best friend, use your superior mobility to leave enemies behind and get away from danger. Also provides a steady stream of healing via
疾速再生 along with 
迅捷. -
潜行机械 is often a life-saver because of the AoE stealth.
-
The only stunbreaks in the build are found on toolbelt skills: Blast Gyro's
分流涂层 and Slick Shoes' 
奔驰疾速 (not to be confused with the effect of the same name). -
Both
医疗机械 and 
重建力场 are Water fields, use 火箭冲锋 and 爆破机械 in these to combo extra healing whenever you can.- 爆破机械 is both a combo field and a finisher, it has to be used after the creation of a Water field if you want extra healing. Therefore this only works with Medic Gyro as Reconstruction Field's field doesn't last long enough to fit an entire Blast Gyro cast into it. Rocket Charge works with both fields and it's a double finisher.
-
Condition cleansing is limited only to toolbelt skills via
机械部署 synergy and 医疗机械 from 
应激镜片. Be very careful against condition specs - try to stay in range, use CC as much as possible and avoid their attacks with Hammer. Bail out with 奔驰疾速 and 潜行 at the first sign of trouble. -
Every Hammer skill except the autoattack could be used defensively.
-
电子回旋 does great damage in melee while reflecting projectiles, 火箭冲锋 has a lengthy evade frame on top of being a double combo finisher and having high damage, 
雷霆一击 stuns enemies while leaving behind a pulsing damage field. -
电击护盾 is the most defensive thing on Hammer, being a block skill with barrier. While the damage is mediocre it's still worth using it in melee as you gain barrier whenever the skill strikes an enemy, but even if you don't do that the block is still very useful. -
If taken
漏油跑鞋 is great at turning things around. The instant unblockable AoE CC could stop most burst attempts made by enemies without 稳固 while also creating the perfect opening for counterpressuring targets. Really good at immediately punishing teleport skills like 
位面穿行 or 
顺手牵羊 too. -
When it comes to this build the best defense is a good offense. Your survivability isn't great but your damage is, so try to keep enemies on the backfoot with constant pressure.
