Related traits

Retribution

• Dwarven Battle Training — Deal increased strike damage to weakened foes. Disabling a foe applies weakness. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, fear, taunt, and launch.

Salvation

• Words of Censure — Blinding, immobilizing, or affecting a foe with crowd control heals nearby allies. Skills that strike many foes at the same time can heal multiple times.

Renegade

• Ashen Demeanor — Disabling a foe cripples your enemy, which leaves them vulnerable and inspires you with Kalla's Fervor.

Notes

• Due to the delay between activation and actual impact of this skill, if Coalescence of Ruin is cast immediately after Drop the Hammer, the hammer will strike just after Coalescence of Ruin finishes casting, immediately recharging it.

Trivia

• The hammer is a ghostly version of Mistbreaker.
