Tips & Tricks

  • Nothing is as devastating as running away with a few hundred health only to be tagged with a paladin's Hammer from long range. Paladins may make full use of the Hammer on fleeing targets, as well as mobs and bosses who are in their death throes.
  • There is no minimum range on the Hammer; it can be used at point-blank distance.
  • The attack is resolved as a ranged special-attack that does non-physical damage, similar to a Hunter's Ability impalingbolt [Arcane Shot]. It can miss, it can be blocked (if the target is facing you), and it does double damage on a crit. Hit Rating and Crit Rating improve your chances of hitting and critting, respectively, while Spell Hit Rating and Spell Crit Rating do not.

Related Equipment

  • The Retribution-centric Tier 6 Paladin Armor Set Lightbringer Battlegear includes a 4-piece set ability that increases the damage dealt by your Hammer of Wrath ability by 10%.

Notes

  • Hammer of Wrath was introduced in Patch 1.7 and enabled Paladins with the ability to do ranged damage to wounded targets.
  • Although the tooltip makes no mention of spell damage, players have mentioned that the spell inflicts an additional 40% of your total spell damage.
