Hammers

Hammers are two-handed blunt weapons in Fatekeeper. They commit the Druid to bigger swings, longer recovery, and the kind of stagger that shuts down most light enemies in a single hit. A hammer is the canonical heavy-hitting Shatter weapon: against frozen enemies, the crush is visceral and instant.

Swing Profile

• Two-handed. Both hands on the weapon. No off-hand, no off-hand spell. Use a slot-2 weapon for spellcasting flexibility.

• Heavy commit. Big swings, slow recovery. Read enemy patterns first.

• Stagger. Hammers stagger almost any non-boss enemy with a clean hit.

• Reach. Mid-to-long range thanks to the haft.

Shatter

Hammers are the showcase Shatter weapon. The Ice Shatter build is built around freezing enemies efficiently and crushing them with a hammer. Against bosses and elite enemies, a hammer's bigger swing makes the Shatter conversion more reliable than a one-handed mace.

Limits

Hammers are slow and committal. Against fast multi-target groups they are vulnerable in the recovery window, which is why most hammer Druids carry a faster slot-2 weapon for swarm cleanup.
