''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 [[Glossary#Aggro|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 [[Ability#Active Abilities|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.
