Anyone who says that shield is useless should learn how to play a guardian. #4 is huge, any damage reduction for your group mates is good. It is the role of the guardian, you are not soloing dungeons.
From a PvP point of view, Hammer is fine. If it’s faster, it would be the top 2h wep in PvP IMO. I use the Hammer for node defense in tournies(I’m bunker Guardian). With shield and mace, hammer is extremely powerful with the buttons 3,4,5, and button 5 with shield/mace. You can literally keep the enemy out until you cap the node if used correctly with the correct build.
