How do you land warrior hammer 5?
Dodge count. Generally you want to chain it after Hammer 4, but landing skills is related to baiting out people’s dodges BEFORE using a high casting time like backbreaker or skull crack.

You generally don’t want to use Backbreaker by itself. Hammer is a weapon about chaining your CC together once you know your target has no way to avoid it.
For example:
(4) Staggering Blow → (5) Backbreaker → (F1) Earthshaker → (2) Fierce Blow
Or
(F1) Earthshaker → (4) Staggering Blow → (5) Backbreaker → (2) Fierce Blow
There’s of course several other options that you’ll figure out as you use Hammer.
You CAN attempt a opening with Backbreaker but it’s super risky.
You can put a sigil of Hydromancy on your Hammer so when you swap to it your first hit is easier to land.
Also, bind “Sheath Weapon” to a easy to reach key. If you think Staggering Blow or Backbreaker are going to miss then press it and you’ll cancel the attack.
