Symbol Guardian?

[Fipmip.7219]

I've been messing around with core guardian and found you can get pretty significant symbol uptime with hammer auto and mace 2, as well as some proccing trait effects. I was wondering if anyone has found a slot for heavy symbol use in any of the gameplay modes? I was able to momentarily get up to 7 stacks of burn on pve enemies standing in the symbols, perhaps good as a fake out condi spike? Let me know If you can get a good usage out of symbol spam, I think all guardian symbols might count as light fields too..

Hammer guard has some uses in low lvl PUG fractals, it's easy to play and grants perma-protection for the team. It's not something I would recommend for serious play as it is superseded by newer, and fancier elite specs.

Symbols don't really make an entire build, but rather enhance a build you are already using. Every Guard weapon has a symbol on it. Depending on your build, you can use traits to get extra healing (Honor tree) or extra damage (Zeal tree).

As a source of burning, they already naturally proc burning due to Virtue of Justice (each time a symbol does damage it counts as a strike). Permeating Wrath (Virtues Tree) reduces the number of strikes to proc down to 3, which can make symbols proc burning on every tick if you are hitting at least 3 targets.
