I always felt Hammer could have a burst similar to Blaze Breaker from Torch, just a straight up ground shockwave that kd’s or stuns and doesn’t require a leap animation. Like an Earth Shatter in a wide frontal arc, like some of those HOT mobs have. Something that isn’t ridiculously telegraphed but not something instant, maybe a 1/2s castime where the hammer is raised above your head and slammed down.
I love hammer, but it needs some love.
Level 1: 1 second stun
Level 2: 2 second stun
Level 3: 3 second stun+ something like a cripple or weakness/vulnerability
