Yes, I belive you are. I don't play much pvp but what I have experienced is not a lot of trouble from the hammer mostly the hunters bow. I really don't care what I get killed by I'm still going to get killed, a lot. That being said I dont want it needed, I enjoy it the way it is in PVE where I spend most of my time. I would suggest you learn how to counter or avoid it, just my $.02.
