Hammerer Skills and Masteries

Hammerer Mechanic - Momentum, Ancestral Vigor

The Hammerer gains Momentum with every strike and killing blow he lands, and loses Momentum when delivering his most powerful attacks or stopped somehow by an enemy player. If the Hammerer achieves 45 Momentum at any given time, he can activate an ability called Ancestral Vigor, unlocking new abilities and giving him a bonus to his damage.

Momentum: Hammerers can range from 0 - 60 Momentum, auto attacks build 2-5 Momentum, critical strikes build (1.6x) the amount of Momentum rewarded from an ability or attack. Killing Blows increase Momentum by 12 to 18. Gaining Momentum increases all damage output by 1.5% for every 12 Momentum (Max: 7.5% at 60 Momentum). Gaining Momentum also increases the Hammerer's run speed and reduces the chance of being affected by movement impairing effects by 3% for every 12 Momentum (Max: 15% at 60 Momentum). Momentum is lost at a rate of 8-10 every 3 seconds while out of combat and a rate of 3-5 Momentum every second spent snared or rooted.

I say, change the supposed 'mirror configuration;, and let the BG have this mechanic too! Have the delayed classes have a very interesting and innovative mechanic such as this to avenge the fallen brothers.

The Hammerer and Blaguard mechanics sounded great to begin with.. ironicaly I think the OP just copied and pasted most of the Hammerer info that was already given because that's the mechanic they said to begin with, but was said to have been thrown out for some odd reason, I guess because all these mechanics mimiced the WoW Warrior mechanic to a degree...
