What if using a virtue changed the field type for the next placed symbol.
Justice would turn to a fire field.
Resolve will turn to a water field.
Not sure about courage though since default is light 
What do you guys think?
interesting idea for symbols
Oh yes, I would love to spam fire fields with my hammer in PvE and blast them too, considering the justice spam, would be overpowered.
The idea to prevent fire field spam is that it’s not unlimited.
It would only affect the next symbol.
So any later placed symbols go back to light fields.
Which is what i meant my applying to the “next” placed symbol.

My point still remains, it’s entirely possible to use VoJ every few seconds, especially when there are a lot of mobs around in PvE, and it would be easy to use VoJ before every hammer 3rd.
Be nice for some suggestions rather than complaints only.
But anyways, you could solve that by making an internal cool down within the ability.
Aka, you can only change a symbol every 10 seconds or so.
Courage could be an ice field, the virtue protects you and blasting ice fields give ice armour.
I actually like this idea alot.
Activation of a virtue applies a field to the next symbol created.
VoJ – Fire Field
AR – Water Field
Courage – Ice Field
Fields last for 3sec. All Fields on a 15Sec CD would be kitten imo
Would be a nice buff for any Guardians that run hammer.
we do indeed need a solution for this “use a firefield before executing hammer AA chain”. this could be it and just “next field” is not enough, make it next 3 and a wep swap cancels it imo =)
Maybe it could be set so that once a virtue is activated, all symbols placed for the next 10 seconds will apply either fire,water, or ice fields depending on the virtue.
Then you can have the ability use a 30s internal cd to prevent field spam.
Would be an interesting way to add a bit more team play to symbols anyways.
