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 [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.

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.
