I have always played Hammer specifically because of the constant protection uptime. I find that it works way better than shield / mace for face tanking mobs. I run FB with a mixture of DPS trait and Minstrels gear. It works really well for solo / group play. Use staff for ranged / support as secondary swap.
I would hate to see the protection symbol removed. It would completely ruin hammer guard for me.
I dont see why hammer needs more DPS to compete. Hammer is its own thing. Can it be more useful? Sure. But I wouldnt want to sacrifice what it currently does in order to support a completely unrelated playstyle.
