I've been hearing a lot of things lately about Hammer Paragons, but I really wonder, what's good about them that makes them stand out?
Such builds would be this:

Now, I must ask, how does this benefit the paragon whatsoever? And how do they synergize with hammers, awe aside?
How does the Hammer Paragon work?

It allows them to over compensate for there skirts.

I liked Swipe Swordgons better.

If that is the case, can someone ping an efficient PvE Hammer para please?
Reverend Dr
If what is the case? They've only been somewhat effective as a pvp gimmick. You are not going to be putting out amazing DPS, if you run earthshaker you'd be far better off running a warrior primary.
Soldier's Fury or Focused anger fueling more hammer bashes puts more pressure upon a backline, the daze from awe can create panic and open windows. None of that is useful in PvE compared to just raw damage. I am not sure what you are looking for, the most amazing thing about paragons with hammer are the attack animations.

I tried it, if you want daze, running a RAO is still a better option, if you want a glorified hammer warrior, running a hammer warrior is still a better option. That and paragons are horrible skirmishers.

I'm going to disagree there. RAO relies upon Energizing Winds. Spirit support has to be slotted in your team and any semi-competent player knows to know energizing vs RAO. Also the daze on RAO is on a 20 recharge timer as opposed to the 10 recharge of Awe. Both are gimmicky, but there is a reason RAO's are never pugged anymore.

At least RAO's don't have to stop every time to re-apply SF, which HURTS pressure like mad, as for the rest, you're numbers are indeed pretty spot on. SF can be interrupted as well, which will leave a warrior with a skirt who will be called a homo and get laughed at
