Forge Hammer
Hurl a fiery hammer that Slams into the ground and lodges there. While the hammer is lodged in the ground, reusing this Skill recalls the hammer and resets the Skill's cooldown. Alternatively, using a Warcry near the lodged hammer causes it to shatter, releasing a number of Molten Fissures in a spiral.
Niche pick — shines in specific builds but needs targeted investment to perform.

How to Use Forge Hammer Effectively
Practical tips you won't find on the tooltip
AoE Clearing
Invest in Area of Effect to cover more ground. Excellent for map clearing and handling packs efficiently.
Ignite Potential
Fire skills can inflict Ignite for sustained DoT. Invest in Ignite Duration and Fire DoT multiplier for maximum burn damage.
Duration Matters
Duration scaling extends effect uptime. Less recasting = more time dealing damage. Invest in skill duration passives.
Attribute Planning
Requires 157 Str at max level. Plan your passive tree and gear to meet this — don't get stuck unable to level your main skill.
