Hammers viable for dps?

Is there any warrior or knight combo that can use a hammer (1h or 2h) and deal good DPS with it? This is for my own curiosity, because I haven't seen anyone attempt to DPS with a hammer

"Good DPS" I'm sure is doable, yes...but there's no class (yet) where it is optimal to use a hammer. The problem is every class seems to do more damage with at least one other type of weapon...either due to skills that provide bonuses that apply to something other than hammers, or due to the bleeds that only work with bladed weapons (or both). You would think there would be at least once class that could make great use of a hammer... :rolleyes:

Warriors get Bonuses on Hammers with the 1h and 2h Mastery, but I think it's more about the Loss of Bleeds than any thing else. Not to mention I have yet to see a Hammer that could compete with an Axe in DPS.

It would make sense to give Knights a Mastery on Hammers because no one else is using them. I tried to use hammers and found that they just don't stack up to 1h swords. They might as well remove them from the game because they really have no point to them any more.:(

I did see a few Dream Splitters (2h Hammer) used back in Ch3 but that's not the case now.
I reject your reality and choose my own instead!

the only viable 2H Hammer would probably be the Lvl65 Moa 2H Hammer. Its DPS is abnormous compared even to the lvl70-probably-hardmode instance 2H Weapons.

for 1H the Unrivaled Sword is probably the best, IF it is patched in on tuesday.
