The use of hammers

[scullsyk]

i was thinking and, why are hammers such crappy weapons? i think they should be a bit better

[Ermabwed]

You are talking about battle hammers, right?

 

Not much of a weapons expert but they are somewhat unwieldy, aren't they? Thus defense and accuracy penalty ... makes sense to me

I think that they are implenting something better soon, like a morning star. I know it's not a necessarily a hammer, but, i'm sure the stats on that will be good. ok, i lied, it's a mace:

Hammers are strong weapons, but tend to be heavy and that makes them difficult to use in combat.

Myself, I don't find the hammer being in 1 hand very realistic. So I think our current hammers all look a bit more like the mace thingy already, the iron hammer at least.

 

That might be because of other games but I tend to think of hammers as huge 2-handed weapons, that strike for rather high damage but are very slowly wielded because of the weight and that also makes them less accurate etc.

I agree with blee. Most of the time when i think of hammers you use in combat i think of the large bulky 2 handed weps. this is 1 of the first games i've seen with the hammers 1-handed.

Hammers, are actually decent weps if you read their damages. But they have a lot of negatives.... which can be horrible in a big fight.

[Rend]

If they gave hammers a stun/paralyze chance they might worth the negatives. But as drop killing weapons they are pretty decent.

[scullsyk]

Well, they are all neg. i think they should have no anything but no negative, so it would work a bit better as average weapon

Big time. Makes harvest ingredients for summoning easy and quick

I'd use them more often if I could make my own. A few iron bars, some fire essences, a wood handle (maybe some steel) (hopefully)... has to be less expensive to make than what the NPC charges! Besides, you get to add some nice new overpriced books in order to drain my storage of gold.
