[Mighty Blow] and [Symbol of Protection] synergy
Im curious as to why the 3rd skill in the chain is protection …. as a guardian in WvW i am forever moving so it just becomes pointless.
Number 2 skill on 2handed sword is placing a symbol
Number 2 skill on 1handed mace is placing a symbol
Number 2 skill on 2handed Hammer is Mighty blow ? And our Symbol of Protection is the end of the Number 1 skill chain…
It just makes no sense to have Mightly blow as Skill 2 and Symbol on end of skill 1 chain .. it just totally breaks the synergy of hammer, i use a knockback i have to chase .. i use immobilise because i am chasing … i am using ring so they dont get away but by the time i get to 3rd skill in the chain to get symbol they are gone again …
Moving [Mighty Blow] to the end of the number 1 skill chain, and puting symbol of protection on skill 2 would synergise hammer much better, we dont get a snare like warrior or thief does so it would help us stay on target a tiny bit better also, gap closes i think guardian is lacking in for hammer.
The point of having [symbol of protection] on skill 2 would be better for defensive purposes as well, when my group is in a defensive position it would be nice to be able to put this down so they can stand in it and take less damage.
[Ring of Warding]
Right now i have to stand still to cast this .. i pretty much never get to use it because, by the time i have used my immobilize to catch them it has ended … or if i am on top of them and start casting it they have already moved OR if i immobilize them first and then start to cast it they are in an evade roll out of the area before the ring even lands. I think it needs an instant cast whilst moving because atm it just isn’t synergistic with anything else in hammer.
So yeh , mightblow to end of skill chain , symbol of protection on skill 2 , ring of warding instant cast or at least cast whilst moving, and as for the immobilize i think its fine as it is and banish doesn’t need changing either.
What do other fellow Hammer Guardians think ?

No way, I like having a finisher on demand. The Symbol of Protection is easy to land, if you move correctly and get a sense of the timing.
Blast Finisher on a low cooldown, with a leap… come on man. It’s delicious.

Im not saying the symbol is hard, its just pointless in its current form.
Yeh its nice, but hammer synergy over all is not really that good.
