FYI: You can hit in a different direction than the charge of the Stigma.
Just hold a direction while letting go of smash.

This is what I do to doge the next attack when a boss stands. As long as I position myself right I don't even need to guard after a fully charged Stigma because I can hit them and step out of the way at the same time.

Has anyone else experienced this glitch while using a hammer?

It wouldn't be so bad if you could control your attack direction. The only way I've found to remedy it is through incapacitation.

The hammer can be used to solo, but as said above it is best in groups. Ive literally raped some bosses while fighting in groups. Especially with the smash 3 combo making it do multiple hits. It's godly if it crits at least twice during the repeat spins.
It's a good idea to use the sword when solo-ing a mission that reqiures you to fight more than one boss at the same time. I got impatient last night and proceeded to solo "prepare for counterattack" after only 3 total hours of hammer play. I started bad and ended up having 5 bosses on screen at once(1 shooter, the 2 axe-users, "robust", and "sturdy). 14 spears, plenty of ice blocks, and 45 mins later I finished "sturdy" with a fully charged stigma. I was crying for the sword the whole time, lol. All that and I'm still a few % away from using that lvl 28 bone sword.
But one thing I noticed was that a couple times when charging stigma, I thought it showed some "superarmor" traits(unable to flinch from getting hit while charging). It hasn't been mentioned but does stigma hammer have superarmor? I have it at rank E now.
I have 2 hours left of work before I get on Vindictus. Thank God I found this forum(and was coerced into registering, lol).

When I went to go train a skill it said Challenge instead... whats that do/mean?

You have the skill at rank A, correct? From what I gathered here, by challenging the skill after that it upgrades by numbers. I have yet to achieve a rank A skill so I'm not entirely sure, lol.

I was told for the shield htere's a quest for it but it's at lvl 42. I'm guessing that's when the large shields come out.

Stigma is not unflinchable during charging, only during the drop of the hammer. Both during the charging and in the recovery frames you are vulnerable.

Oh. Ok. That makes sense. I was actually in the release each time out of fear for it being cancelled and me not getting the hit. But there is nothing like hitting a boss with all the epicness of a full charge Stigma, lol.
