Hammer fist

<DIV>Says duration 3 seconds. does this skill line remain just a stun?</DIV>

<P>I believe that is correct.  I don't want to put words into anybody's mouth but I believe we all use it for pretty much the same purpose.  Fear a mob, stun it and hit our flurry attack.  Either that or stun it and jump behind it and hit the attack.  It makes it so we don't have to worry about the mobs deflection/riposte/parry skill causing one of our attacks to miss and canceling out the series.</P> <P>Only other use for it I have is when fighting caster mobs to interrupt them.  Between that, our stiffle attack and a knock down I can be pretty succesful at shutting a caster up.</P>

    There is one other thing this ability will do ... it's has a fairly significant crushing debuf.  Of course, the debuf is only active for the length of the stun, but all of my top melee hits have come when using grapple or crusher immediately following hammerfist.  It probably adds another 100-150 points of damage to any crushing attack used while it's active...not a ton, but not completely insignificant. <div></div>

Ahh..good tip.  I wasn't aware it had a debuff attached to it.
