User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Hammers/@comment-67.161.122.158-20120730145127

If a hunter is having trouble with a monster, try sending him in with a hammer! Online in Tri I often suggest Pecco Flint for noobs, many of which don't block anyway. It is interesting that in Tri there is no Ice hammer, except when using awaken. Hammers can cause some really epic moments. I once broke a Barroth's ridge with a superpound during his charge attack. Granted it was a low rank Barroth but it still made me jump off the couch and cheer. A hammer is a vital part of a team, I feel like a party should never leave without at least 1 hammer user. I love when I am the sole hammer user and I get a KO, it makes me feel like I have done my job well, like I'm pulling my weight.

My favorite Hammer has got to be the Gunhammer, because of the awesome animation of the spinning revolver. It looks so cool underwater too, when you're charging and it's spinning and making that high-pitched whirring noise. So rad!
