Ehh? hit them and keep them down all day and do mad damage AOE. What combo beats the simplicity and damage of that?

you might as well not job change your char until 40 if your just going to hammer spam

I made a thread previously asking for a build, but I definitely know what I'm talking about!

Judging from your previous thread, I'm guessing you're level 25. By that time, I'm pretty sure you'll have level 2 Spear Jab.
Sure, hammers can work if you never want to improve in the game (EVER), and most people still use the basic hammer to stun/fill in combos in PvE.
But if you're in a party, hammer spam is nothing but a gigantic hassle to everyone else.

so basically, stop sucking and use Storm Blade and Spear Jab as your main killing implements.

Honey what kind of cocaine are you on? Smackdown=> storm blade is way better at mob clearing (unless you have sb at level 1 ) and spear jab is way better than hammer spam.

Spear Jab
Spin it Bear
Storm Blade

These are far superior to hammer skills and combo much more functionally than they would. They're more complex combos, of course, but this is part of learning to play the game. Hammer spam falls very short very quickly once you enter the broader depth of skill functions as you job advance. Later on you'll have skills like Cross Cut, Mega Storm Blade, and Chain Shield to add onto this.

For clarification, the amount of damage Stun Hammer can generate along with the way it's casted makes for a lacking DPS when compared to the higher level skills. True, it can hit a range of enemies, but any other skill can as well. Storm Blade is also great for AoE damage, but I'm assuming due to low level the only experience you have with launching is the skill Launch. Once you get the more complex launches like Spin it Bear, Pressure, and Shoulder Tackle you'll soon see how it functions to take out groups of monsters.
