Merc Help: Axes vs Hammers

[DragonNestBlog]

You need to take into consideration of certain skills as well.

For Axe Mercs, you have the lv40 ultimate to disable many enemies at one time. If you're learning Stomp EX, your Stomp lv will be high and will induce a 40% slow. In addition, the AOE is increased.

For Hammer Mercs, the lv 40 ultimate is a big AOE in front of you. Having so many skills available in the Mercenary tree, you may not get to raise Stomp to high level for greater slow effect. However, Breaking Point (2nd job skill) is a passive skill with chances to break superarmor and deal critical hits. It helps in interrupting players' skill cast as well.

Based on posts from chinese forums, people favour Hammer for PvP. As you can see from Barbarian skills, Heat Combo and Bone Crash both helps alot in PvE. Destroyer has a better ability to interrupt players skill cast.

Well I would go with Hammers, cause I like slamming the sh*t out of people.
Also it's up to the player, whichever they feel comfortable ( however you spell it ) with.
Destoyers can be better then Barbarians, basically based on the player.
You just need to learn your combos and so on.
Hammers ftw.

Use axe if you are critical type. Use hammer are destruction type. you see hammer have high minimum damage-and low maximum damage compared to axe
