Warrior / Necromancer	Attribute Rank
Strength	12 + 3 + 1
Hammer Mastery	12 + 1

[edit] Usage

When you engage a target, use "For Great Justice!" to gain adrenaline quickly.
After the first target is dead, use the first 4 skills in a combo on the next target.
If you get a condition, such as blind, use Plague Touch on your target.
If the target uses a stance or enchantment to block attacks, use Irresistible Blow.
If low on health while fighting , use Endure Pain to survive then go wait to regain health and energy.
Use Irresistible Blow to punish prot monks for using Guardian.

[edit] Counters

Hexes that hinder your attacks or speed.
It requires a fair amount of Energy, so Energy denial is effective.

[edit] Equipment

Use Gladiator's Armor to maximize your energy pool.
Equip Stonefist Gauntlets to lengthen your knockdowns.
Use only minor runes to keep your health high.
Wield Malinon's Skull Crusher.

[edit] Variants

[edit] Skill Variations

Replace "For Great Justice!" with Berserker Stance or possibly "To the Limit!" for cheaper adrenaline gains.
Replace Endure Pain with Dolyak Signet if you're facing physical damage.
Replace a skill with Sprint or Rush.
Switch out Irresistible Blow for Wild Blow to end defensive stances
Replace Crushing Blow with Counter Blow to rely more on adrenal skills.

Notes: If you want to bring this variation into ANY PvP, always bring a speed boast and a rez sig, and NEVER bring dolyak sig. You're there to deal damage, not tank.

[edit] The Backbreaker variation

A variation on the Unstoppable Hammer uses Backbreaker instead of Devastating Hammer, for an even longer knockdown and damage instead of weakness. As a result, Heavy Blow is replaced as well. An example skill bar, tweaked more heavily for damage output, might look like this:
