Everyone say`s it is ,but no one can tell me why apart from (You`ll have no ranged power) I use quickening`s for ranged enimies.

PS-The war hammer is currently most powerfull weapon available at 65 attack power.

Any idea`s/thought`s on the toic or other possiblities as I have 55000 gil.
 
Hammer's aren't the most reliable weapons - their attack damage appears to be random. I once used hammers and I was doing 2000 damage, then suddenly, I did 20 damage. Get rid of hammers and get something like Ninja Swords.
 
I'd say don't solely rely on "attack power" when it comes to weapon choices; it's not always the best way to go. You can get tons more consistant hitting weapons that will not screw you over by hitting for 3000 on one hit and 45 on the next. Even out the playing field a bit and don't rely mainly on those strength-related stat boosts on a weapon.
 
Hammers can be useful at times, but not ALL THE TIME! ^^ Reasons above. I suggest you only have one or two characters use the hammers if you really desire it so badly. I had Basch use hammer and he's quite useful overall. The rest of my party's weapons varies.
 
It seems like a bad choice. Have your characters equip their own type of weapon. My set-up is Vaan-Great Sword(Tournesol) Balthier-Spear(Zodiac Spear) Fran-Bow(Sagittarius Bow) Basch-(Scorpian Tail....or something like that I forgot) Ashe-Greatsword(Wyrmhero Blade) Penelo-Katana(Masamune) ...I like it that way
