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.
• 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. 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.
