Hammer of Wrath

Hammer of Wrath is a Holy direct damage paladin spell that flings a hammer crackling with holy power at a wounded enemy.

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.
