I think with a good speed slice, it will be a great pvp weapon, although the HAMs are prohibitive. And against certain creatures, it looks like its the way to go now. It nice to see it looking useful

Power Hammer I just built while browsing this thread:

Here are the stats unsliced:
Damage:92-412
Speed:6.1
Wound:18.9
H/A/M:108/29/16
Range Mods:-40/-40/-40(Blech!)
Armor Peirce:Medium
Damage Type:Blast(Don't use on lairs lol)
Made by Master Weaponsmith(me)
Hope this information helps some.

After spending some more time checking out resists on mobs, I've come to the conclusion that Power Hammers still aren't worth it. The amount of mobs that have high Kinetic resist but low Blast is extremely limited. Furthermore the DPS of the PH is so much lower than the 2H curved that you'd have to be looking at something like more than 50% kinetic and 0% Blast just to make it worthwhile. Very disappointing to say the least.

Same with the Cleaver: it's better, but still not that great. Then again since we get a total of 65 points of attack speed, a 3.5 cleaver will hit the cap of 1 second just like a Curved. So, in that case it's better.
