Really disappointed to see the hammer has a speed of 4. Since the introduction of the Leaf-Bladed sword, nothing comes close for 50 Attack training. I had hoped this was the counterpart to the Granite Longsword we received earlier. 67 Stab and 50 Strength, speed 6 from a 55 Slayer monster tops the item with a) 75 Slayer monster b) boss monster c) 50 Strength additional requirement. PvM - LBS has more accuracy/DPS PvP - For your combo-swing, you will use the G Maul which has basically double the stats. Rock Hammer - even a 50 attack account slaying Gargoyles would rather give up the inventory space for the LBS's DPS.
I understand the need for mid-tier support, and its place in expanding to new players, but it needs to be just that - support. A Brine Sabre still outclasses all of the Granite weapons, and that is far easier to obtain.
