Hammer of Wrath

Hammer of Wrath is a paladin ability. It is a Holy direct damage paladin spell that flings a hammer crackling with Holy power at a wounded enemy, but can only be used when the target is at or below 20% health, or during Avenging Wrath.

It is automatically learned by Retribution paladins.

• Hammer of Wrath is a fast and powerful attack, the main constraint of which is that it can only be used on enemies at or below 20% health. Its large burst of instant damage makes it an excellent execute.
• 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), it can be dodged, and it does double damage on a crit.

• The Retribution Tier 8 Paladin Armor Set Conqueror's Aegis Battlegear (level 80) includes a 2-piece set ability that increases the damage dealt by your Exorcism and Hammer of Wrath ability by 10%.
• The Retribution-centric Tier 6 Paladin Armor Set Lightbringer Battlegear (level 70) includes a 4-piece set ability that increases the damage dealt by your Hammer of Wrath ability by 10%.

• Hammer of Wrath is a basic Paladin spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "A good paladin has many tools. Hammer of Wrath, Pliers of Vengeance, Hacksaw of Justice, etc."
