[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 ?
