Hammer
Hammer users generate rage when dealing damage with hammer abilities or when taking damage. Certain hammer abilities can spend rage to cause additional effects.
Hammers are one of the primary weapon abilities. They are Melee weapons, with most abilities having a range of 3-meters.
Hammers are primarily associated with with abilities that focus on making enemies Impaired or Weakened, attacking with Strike or Blast attacks, and landing Critical hits. They are also one of the primary Tanking weapons in the game with abilities that focus on Aggro Control and Damage Mitigation. They are primarily suited for the role of Tanking, but can also be used for DPS builds.
Abilities
Special Ability
The Special Ability for Hammers is called Rage.
Whenever you are attacked by an enemy, you gain 1 point of Rage. Whenever you attack an enemy with a Hammer ability while you have less than 50 rage stored, you gain an additional amount of rage (the amount is listed in the abilities description). You are able to store up to 100 Rage. The hammer icon on the screen represents 50 Rage. It will fill up once, and then can fill up a second time with a darker color.
Once you have at least 50 rage stored, using a Hammer Power Ability, you get a unique bonus. The nature of that bonus is dependent on the ability used, and will be listed in the description.
